    About this Episode

    We're all different people, but one thing that most of us 90s kids have in common is our undying need to unabashedly murder the shit out of our loved ones through the sacred tournament that is Mortal Kombat. Join us this week as we dive deep into Midway's famed series that stole the souls of so many well(ish)-behaved kids. From games to film... Round 1... podKast!
