Mortal Kombat II Review

From The Countdown by Paul & Wayne

About this episode

Wayne reviews Mortal Kombat II in a non-spoiler format while Paul asks questions without having seen the film.

In this completely NON-SPOILER review, Wayne is again off to the cinema himself to review the second film in the 2020s version of a game he grew up pumping free credits into (not a euphemism) for himself and his friends. How does this compare to the '90s films and is it better than the 2021 original in this series? Paul, meanwhile, hasn't see the film at the time of recording, so he's all about the questions and insisting Wayne spoils nothing!
