Episode 548: Mortal Kombat II & 3 (Patreon)

Previously in Episode #447, host Diamond Feit, ko-host Stuart Gipp, and Long Live Mortal Kombat author David L. Craddock united to defend earth from Outworld invaders by podkasting about the original Mortal Kombat. However, their mission was far from Komplete, as there's a lot more Konflict in MK Kanon to Kome.

(alright, no more konspikuous Ks, I promise)

Therefore, we have reconvened so that we might trek to Outworld to cover the much-celebrated Mortal Kombat II, then return to Earth to stand against the forces of evil and discuss Mortal Kombat 3. These two games—and their revisions—represent the last hurrah of the series as originally imagined: Real actors performing real punches and kicks in order to portray larger-than-life characters. Will there be more Mortal Kombat on Retronauts? Perhaps, but when that day comes, we'll need the power of polygons…
