MORTAL KOMBAT! Cameron Esposito (A Million Little Things) enters the fighting arena with Paul, June, and Jason to talk all about the 1995 stinker movie adaptation of a beloved video game. They discuss the anticlimactic fight with Goro, Christopher Lambert's wig, and how the mortals are unfazed by the supernatural. Plus, we learn about June's relationship with video games, find out Jason's thoughts on the soundtrack, and hear an amazing Second Opinion review. (Originally Released 01/28/2014)
