MORTAL KOMBAT! Comedian Cameron Esposito enters the fighting arena with Paul, June, and Jason to dissect 1995's Mortal Kombat, the stinker movie adaptation of the beloved video game. They discuss the anticlimactic fight with Goro, Christopher Lambert's wig, and how the mortals are unfazed by the supernatural.
