Victims and Villains

Does 2021’s Mortal Kombat delivery a fatality? In this spoiler-filled episode we answer that very question from both a life long fan and a new comer to the franchise. We’ll be addressing the heavy mental health themes of the film including the journeys of Cole, Sonya Blade & Jax. Plus we’re talking about possible future sequels, Power/Rangers connections and much more. Read our non-spoiler review: https://bit.ly/Vicmk21
