How far will we go to rank all Disney Movies? We could be immortals if we did it. We could also let it go and not even try.  We could try everything or head into the unknown. But at last we saw the lights and decided to rank the films released between 2010 and 2019.

Movies based on video games have a bad reputation and the "Mortal Kombat" series from the 1990's helped solidify that reputation. So who thought it was a good idea to do a remake of this film? Is it possible to make a good video game movie?

Is this new Mortal Kombat movie a flawless victory? Does it continue the trend of decent video game movies? Or has the public dealt a fatality to this attempt at restarting the franchise?

To avoid SPOILERS for "Mortal Kombat (2021)" skip over 42:34 - 58:50 of the episode.

We've previously discussed the impact of the storyline from the early 1990's where DC Comics decided to kill off Superman. But what if that iconic moment from comics history never happened? What would become of the Superman character, the comic book industry, Shaquelle O'Neil's movie career, and clickbait news articles?
