Mortal Kommentary!

This week we're not recording an actual episode. To make up for this, we offer your Mortal Kombat: The Commentary. Mortal Kombat is available on Netflix if you don't happen to own a copy of this classic video game movie.

Next week, we'll be talking about movie adaptations. Comic books, video games, books and TV shows are all being turned into movies. Is nothing sacred? We'll be talking about why we love adaptations so much and why we get so crazy over them. So let us know how you feel. Do you like adaptations? Are you a rabid fan boy that foams at the mouth when "they" get your favorite franchise wrong? What do you think makes a good adaptation? Give us your feedback!

As promised, Episode 63 pre-show

Like we mentioned on the show, when we recorded with Tim Jennings, we were on Skype for a little over two hours all together. As we started what I thought was only going to be a couple minutes of warming up, it became clear that we were already putting on a show. I quickly hit the record button mid-way through a sentence and this is what we recorded...

We would also like to apologize to Tim Jennings and anyone that was looking forward to his episode this week. Due to the overwhelming amount of content we had, we thought it would be a disservice to him to put out his episode with all the other content that just happened to be more time sensitive. We promise that next week you will not only get the episode with Tim, but we will also release the recordings of the three of us talking before the show. So you will end up getting 2 hours of the lovely Mr. Jennings. Count yourself lucky!
