Content Warning
This episode contains spoilers and swears. But it also contains some seriously bonkers tangents and silliness. You have been politely informed. There are also topics which might not be suitable for the ears of the innocent. But nothing in this episode, or this podcast as a whole, is to be taken serious.
Please listen responsibly.
Show Notes
As is now tradition, Squidge provided a short intro to the episode. Whilst both this episode and part 2 are "Goes to the Movies" episodes, they're also WT Lite ones because of the way that Squidge ran it.
Waffling Taylors Lite, the pocket-sized podcast that packs a gaming punch.
In this first serving of bite-sized banter with a side of game goodness, we catch up with Mo from The Squonk & The Hag Podcast to cover the 1995 live-action movie of Street Fighter: The Ultimate Battle.
We cover everything from Defeat by Typing Cookie, Arcade Stick Ham, and Cape with a P.
So without further ado, sit back, grab some snacks, and get ready for this episode entitled "Street Fighter: The Ultimate Battle Championship X Ultra Alpha Super Turbo Turkey Puncher Edition with Mo - Part One".
Take it away guys

Before they got started, Squidge wanted to give Mo a chance to talk about her podcast and introduce herself:
So I am one of the co-hosts from
The Squonk and the Hag, which is a true crime and scary stories podcast. My co-host is my best friend who lives in another state, and this the podcast, kind of, turned into a reason for us to just have that mandated once a week meet up and record. We, you know, like I said, we're on hiatus because I... when I transitioned to this job it was, you know, extra hours, getting up to speed, and then just like mental energy taken up.
...
I am a complete nerd. I like to do crafts, I like to make stuff. The easiest way to put it is: if they sell it at a craft store I can probably... I've probably tried it. Right now I've been making a lot of friendship bracelets, and I have one that says, "Grabthar's hammer" which is one of my favourites. And then I have another one, which actually ties into our episode today and it says, "it was Tuesday" and it is red and black beads for Bison's costume.

Initial Thoughts
Keen eye'd (or ear'd?) listeners will note that Squidge had covered this movie with Jay and Z-Boi previously (and here's a link to that episode). But that was a) in an older format and b) not with Mo.
This is one of those movies that Chris and I watch all the time. We're chronic rewatchers.
...
So Street Fighter, Galaxy Quest, the Pacific Rim movies. Like, you know, it's usually something that's, you know, action-y and light, you know... like movies like this they're just so fun.
...
But like, you watch something like Street Fighter and it's just so outrageous and so silly. And like, we've talked about this a little bit on Discord and stuff, but Raul Julia's cape work alone. And I could.., it's just stunning. It's just like, he had to work at it because the flair. So I don't know if you've ever worn a cape and tried to do some of those flair moves. It's not easy. It is not easy at all
