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.
In the second part, we cover everything from watching films on speedboats, wholesome inspirational warnings, and Tuesdays.
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 Two".
Take it away guys

The Scenes We Want To Highlight 2: Electric Boogaloo
As Mo went last in the previous part, it was Squidge's turn to highlight a scene, and he chose... well, you'll see:
It's towards, I call it, I mean, I normally call it a clusterf*ck, but I'm trying to watch my language, so I'll call it a flustercluck, right? Towards the end. So the part I'm on about is Captain Sawada, right? He punches a guy and then he walks towards a security expert who has hacked into, tapped into, the security cameras.
And at that point, you've got Honda and Zangief fighting each other, which is just basically grabbing each other and throwing each other around. But they are trampling through a model of Bisonopolis, which is funny in itself. But then you've got Godzilla/kaiju sounds superimposed on top. And it goes on for like three seconds. You don't see much of it.
— Squidge
And before they could move on to any other scenes, Squidge brought up the guy with the machine gun (as mentioned in the previous episode on the movie, which good friend Z-Boi):
[Ryu and Ken] walk by a guy who's just in a towel around his midriff and he's lovingly holding this gun, grenade launcher, machine gun, whatever the hell it is. And he's got the butt of it on his leg, and he's holding it up, and he's polishing it. What happened to him? Why was he so attached to the gun? Did he make it out okay and does he still have the gun? That's the most important question I need to ask.
Did he make it out alive with the gun? Is he still polishing the gun? I want a sitcom or a two-part anime special on Netflix about that guy and his machine gun; because that's the real question. We need to know what happened to him.
— Squidge
And he was referring to the background actor on the left of this image.
The conversation about that guy and the shoe lady... that is, this shoe lady, naturally evolves into either total madness or a pitch call for the greatest TV show ever. Answers on a postcard, please.
And after that comes a discussion on the scene with, possibly, Raul Julia's greatest every monologue. But to see what we have to say on that, you'll need to read the full show notes. Speaking of...
