It has begun! Ben brings back OG cohost Jessica Clemons for a flawless game adaptation discussion. First they react to Nintendo’s announcement of a ‘Star Fox 64’ remake for Switch 2 and the internet’s notes on the game’s character redesigns. Then they talk ‘MKII’: their disagreement about the 2021 reboot, their overall impressions of the sequel, their takes on what worked well and what didn’t, their review of Karl Urban’s portrayal of Johnny Cage, and more, plus a spoiler section with thoughts on specific plot points, their expectations for the next movie, which ‘MK’ characters they’d still like to see on-screen, and the box office battle between ‘Mortal Kombat’ and the upcoming ‘Street Fighter’ film.
