We're closing out our discussions on the Mortal Kombat film franchise with...MORTAL KOMBAT (2021). This reboot seeks to take the series in a grittier more grounded direction and also punches in the gore cheat code. Now the big question is...is it better than the 1995 original cult classic of the same name? What are your thoughts?

This week we're starting a new mini-series, the *deep breath* surreal coming-of-age cult favorite miniseries, and we're starting with the widely mis-marketed, and misunderstood JENNIFER'S BODY. While we still have criticisms and some of us like it more than others, it's definitely a perfect example of a film that didn't get a fair shake and has only grown more respected over time. What are YOUR thoughts on JENNIFER'S BODY?

There can be only one they said. Well, we've got four. But hey, let's keep things positive, this one's pretty good right?...Actually, it's still a pretty bumpy ride. Still, while some of us feel this film is critically flawed and doesn't hold up, others think it's a true cult classic in the greatest sense of the word. What are YOUR thoughts on HIGHLANDER?

We get in touch with our animalities on this episode and as Nighthawk would say; it's pretty cool! The movie we're talking about this week is often regarded as one of the worst ever made...MORTAL KOMBAT: ANNIHILATION. It would seem a movie of this quality would definitively kill the franchise, but there's a bit of a twist ending. What are your thoughts on MORTAL KOMBAT: ANNIHILATION?

This week we ENTER THE DRAGON! That's right, we're talking about the Bruce Lee classic that with a forceful kick and a punch brought Kung Fu films fully into the mainstream. I mean, who didn't have an uncle that practiced nunchucks in his parents' garage because of this movie? Something else noteworthy: this is the only good film in Noah's miniseries and I think we're all thankful he ended on a high note, still, it's been an amusing run. What are your thoughts on ENTER THE DRAGON?

This week we're getting into another cult favorite, DONNIE DARKO. It's a film with so much on its mind, every scene introduces something new and if you're not paying attention you may lose the thread. Thankfully David did his homework this week and keeps us from scratching our heads too much. What are YOUR thoughts on DONNIE DARKO?

Well, we wanted to talk about 'Highlander', but didn't take into consideration the great price we would have to pay for doing so: watching the three sequels. So is 'Highlander II: The Quickening' the best of the worst, or the absolute bottom of the barrel?

Mooooortal Koooombat!
Kano! Liu Kang! Raiden! Johnny Cage! Scorpion! Sub-Zero! Sonya! They're all here, and yes, we've been fist-pumping to that amazing work of techno brilliance by Techno Syndrome ever since our re-watch. That said, is the movie nearly as good as the music? What are your thoughts on the semi-cult classic, MORTAL KOMBAT?

Maybe it's some undiagnosed illness that we all share, but we found more to like in 'Highlander III: The Sorcerer' despite its near-unanimous negative reception, that or 'Highlander II' was just THAT bad and it made this one look better. Yeah, it's probably the latter. What are YOUR thoughts on Highlander III?

Grab your tots and make sure they're zipped securely in your cargo shorts pocket because we're talking NAPOLEON DYNAMITE! It's one of the bigger cult classics that's notable for its very small budget and its breakout box office success. What are your thoughts on the film? Does it deserve its cult classic status?

I know this started as a Tomb of the Dragon Emperor cult, but it’s certainly morphed into a damn fine podcast.
