There needs to be a new Mixed Bag for the 2026 sequel!!
Now you guys have to watch the Karl Urban 2026 MORTAL KOMBAT 2!!!
I really hope they review Mortal Kombat II. It addresses some of the criticism they had about they first one -The Kano character is used a lot more sparingly and effectively -Cole is demoted to the 8th billed character in the credits -There are more women (Sonya actually gets to participate lol) and Kitana is one of the main characters -There are more locations and setpieces -Still plenty of hell yeah moments
Naw Kano was the GOAT.
The Boobs better review MK2 after it comes out this October. Stoked that Kung Lao is coming back! And we finally get to see Kitana, Jade, and Sindell!!
Hope you like the new one. There is a really cool Kung Lao fight
Going back and listening to the archives
Best outro ever
I often find myself laughing at tangents of short rest that have nothing to do with the episode but to upgrade and have a backlog of mixed bags to end up to this episode and hear you guys actually liked this movie breaks my brain 🤣 imagine if The 3rd Mates were murdered in one round, the movie had beloved characters go out like li'l bitches especially with the cult-like following that Sireena had. As well as the retconning of Scorpion/Sub-Zero rivalry origin and whatever this "Arkana" bs was, this movie was a mess. I pray you guys watch the REALLY old MK stuff like the shows to hear a mixed bag of that.
Love the opener
I cannot comprehend how they like when they said "flawless victory"

This is gonna be a weird rec but for the next mixed bag yall should check out the movie "flight of dragons." It's about a guy who gets sucked into a board game, and the power struggle between magic and science. Good music, silly animation and unintentionally hilarious writing, i think yall would enjoy it!
Can you make a 20 minute cut of Emily being confused about Star Wars
It ended up being an ad lol I got an hbo sub after the first 5 minutes of this episode
Cole was generic but I do kind of like that Cole is just the generic player character from a Mortal Kombat RPG.
the 8 bit book club intro gets me everytime 🥲
I have NEVER identified with someone more than when Emily asked about Boba Fett/Jar Jar Binks. I also get them confused and have never seen Star Wars 😂😂😂
As I was watching this movie I was wishing you guys were still doing 8BBC so you could cover it. I’m absolutely THRUMMING!
I didn't understand how coles family survived being frozen in ice. It would've been better I think if they had died and that caused scorpion to emerge from his blood for family revenge. I still liked the movie though
Vis a vis the R-Rated Marvel comment, this might ease the pain a little: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5-3eujJyZE
The exact thing I thought of!
My boyfriend was really hoping that during the Cole/Sub Zero fight at the end that Cole would be possessed and become Scorpion.
In the new cannon Sonya and Johnny Cage got married, had a kid, got divorced and then I think got married or at least back together in the new game cannon.

The worst thing about Mortal Kombat is that Kano was the best written, and best played part. Stupid good movie, full marks 5/7
Is Murphy telling us he wanted to see the first x-men in the 1999 film, before any really solid comic book movies came out, wear their original costumes?
I would rate it as I, for I liked it
I know in one of the latest games everyone who died is being mind controlled and evil. So everyone could definitely come back
Apperently the actor who played kano improvised some of his lines.
Love the 8-Bit Book Club theme, so bittersweet every time they use it at the start of the Mixed Bags because I miss it so much.
Wasn't expecting this feed drop...don't care that this was a huge spoiler episode...it was fun! I want more of these film watching eps, may I suggest hitchhikers guide to the galaxy film, and/or book! Think I would be funny hearing you guys thoughts! Also please MAKE Jake watch more DBZ (buu or cell saga would be funny as!)
Murphy ruining the sign off was brilliant.
The weapons that Cole uses at the end are Tonfas and they’re cool
Especially since Tonfas are from Okinawa!
They want violent avengers and captain america doing a Kung Lao. Did they watch FATWS 🤭
I thought it was so cool that scorpion spoke Japanese and Sub-Zero spoke Chinese and at one point scorpion says "I don't understand you but I'm going to kill you...." That was tight.
Next month if you watch the show on Amazon “Invincible” I’ll subscribe to the next tier, yes this is bribery. Obviously not asking for the whole show that would be crazy, but it would be awesome for the first episode!
I didn't see this movie, I don't know anything about MK besides they kill each other, but I will listen to anything the naddpod crew release 😤
I’m glad they enjoyed it more than I did. I’m a huge fan of the franchise so I had my issues with it but still a fun movie
Not even fucking with you but when Emily tried crossing Boba Fett and JarJar I was in fact driving home on the interstate and I was so shocked I almost rear ended someone. Still love ya Em
FROZEN BLOOD KNIFE
I think Cadwell's right and Cole will become scorpion 🦂 in the second or third movies cause when they gave him that shirt thing it very specifically starts at his wrist and that's just mean otherwise of they do that
Someone else mentioned this, but you deffo need to watch Corridor Digital's R-rated Avengers video.
If you want a good fan service, watch The Revenge of Scorpion on HBOMax. Also in MK 11, Kung Lao and many others come back as undead versions. They could lean into that for the next one.
Has anyone else made the joke that Cole’s new shirt is just LITERAL PLOT ARMOR
THIS IS INSANE, because of all the MK refrences, I thought it would be amazing with a MK review from naddpod, and here it is
Liu Kang was sooooo hot in this movie.
That ending. Oh my gods.
During the subzero/Jax fight, the graffiti in the background was spelling out classic MK COMBOS !!! I screamed.
A to J rating I would give it an “I” for ‘If you love Mortal Kombat you’ll love this, but if you don’t know who Liu Kang maybe this isn’t for you.’
Liu Kang stole my heart and I have no idea who he is.
Murph - you literally just want a remake of the first movie lol
Sub zero coming back as hidden character from the earlier games -- NOOB SABOT
They hinted at what Coles powers were doing to be a few times earlier in the movie, with multiple " you sure know how to take a blow" comments
I love that Scorpion only speaks Japanese and the English phrase "Get Over Here"
R-rated Captain America / MCU can be found on Corridor Crew's YouTube channel and it's incredible.
had a tough week, so all the dungeon courts plus this 8 bit boo- i mean mixed bag are really helping me get ready for the weekend
Don't dog kano, he was amazing in this movie :P
I loved him and his sudden but inevitable betrayal. :)
Y'all are flooding us with CONTENT, and I love it!
Yesss I needed more 8 bit book club in my life 🥰🥰
There is plans for 5~ movies
2 more for the trilogy about the actual tournament, and then I'm guessing a sub zero/scorpion movie(s)
Best update to see on a long Friday afternoon! 💕 Can’t wait to hear all your thoughts!
A blessed day to be a patron
AND THE 8BBC THEME?!?!
Honestly, it was a great movie for me. Haha
It was awesome
