S12 Ep613: Mortal Kombat (2021)

Author: WHM Entertainment May 31, 2022 Duration: 2:01:42

On this week's episode, the gang was live on the Internet a while back chatting about the 2021 Mortal Kombat reboot! Yes, this was the film that had a horrendously animated all-lizard Reptile, a really cool prologue sequence that feels like it's from another (better) movie, someone getting stabbed with their own frozen blood, and, you guessed it, a no-name protagonist that no one in the audience cares about! PLUS: The return of the VHS Trailer Game and a stupid t-shirt contest! 

Mortal Kombat (2021) stars Lewis Tan, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Joe Taslim, Mehcad Brooks, Tadanobu Asano, Chin Han, Ludi Lin, Max Huang, and Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion; directed by Simon McQuoid.

For over a decade, the crew at We Hate Movies has been turning cinematic misfires into comedy gold. Each episode from WHM Entertainment finds a quartet of friends dissecting a famously bad film, from forgotten straight-to-video oddities to big-budget Hollywood disasters. The conversation is less a formal review and more like eavesdropping on the funniest, most brutally honest film debate at a bar, where tangents about obscure actors and baffling plot holes are not just encouraged, they’re the main event. You’ll hear them mercilessly roast wooden dialogue, ill-conceived special effects, and questionable life choices made by characters and filmmakers alike, all while building a surprising affection for these flawed creations. This podcast thrives on the specific joy of tearing apart a terrible movie with your most sarcastic friends, celebrating failure as its own form of entertainment. It’s a consistently hilarious escape for anyone who finds more genuine laughs in a film’s awkward silence or a poorly rendered CGI monster than in a perfectly crafted Oscar winner. The chemistry between the hosts turns each episode into a freewheeling comedic breakdown, making even the most tedious movie an absolute delight to revisit through their critical and deeply silly lens. Tune in for a masterclass in comedic riffing, where the love for cinema is undeniable, even when-or especially when-the movies themselves are not.
