What Movie Should We Do Next?

We get a little drunk, a little high, and put Mortal Kombat 2 on trial with our three-part review system, ending with a final score that’s more forgiving than the plot deserves. We dig into what makes the sequel feel more watchable than the last reboot, then spiral into fandom drama, plot armor, and the only question that matters: what would our fatalities be.
• our three-part scoring method and why it fits franchise sequels
• quick Mortal Kombat 2 setup and what the movie prioritizes
• acting highs and lows across the cast
• cinematography, VFX, and why some sets feel empty
• soundtrack choices and the missing iconic theme problem
• plot complaints versus “it’s about the fights” expectations
• unpredictability, body count, and whether deaths feel earned
• fandom toxicity, Cole’s role, and why plot armor kills stakes
• inserting ourselves into the roster with custom powers and fatalities
Like, subscribe, follow, do all the things. Let us know in the comments what you think about Cole. Let us know what your fatality is.

We rate K-Pop Demon Hunters with our five-point rubric and end up split on what works versus what feels like empty hype. Then we dig into the deeper meaning: consumerism, idol purity culture, and why the fandom energy around this movie makes our skin crawl.
• cold open chaos and why we are missing Luke
• our three-part method: ratings, Golden Path, then inserting ourselves
• acting in animation and why “emoji” performances annoy us
• cinematography praise and the Spider-Verse style comparison
• music backlash and why it sounds like generic Western pop
• plot predictability and how “hero’s journey” gets recycled
• rewatchability and what we would actually sit through again
• Golden Path: nonstop product placement and consumer identity
• purity culture, parasocial sexuality, and the “no touching” tension
• our ridiculous rewrites when we insert ourselves into the story

• Three-part review format and what we’re drinking and taking
• Whiplash plot recap through a former band kid’s lens
• Acting, cinematography, score, story, and rewatchability ratings
• J.K. Simmons as a believable manipulator and why that matters
• Predictable beats, trauma bonding, and the myth of necessary suffering
• How hierarchies reward cruelty and teach people to imitate it
• Why the ending reads as triumph instead of tragedy
• Rewriting the movie by inserting ourselves and forcing accountability
