This week on the podcast we discuss the rather obscure webseries/stock trading game Mortal Kombat: Federation of Martial Art s, the final chapter in the Threshold Entertainment Mortal Kombat timeline, and Neal finds DEFINITIVE PROOF that Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm is in continuity with the rest of the movies and shows, and he won't shut up about it. MK: FoMA is a truly insane piece of media that needs to be seen by everybody so click this link to head over to Mortal Kombat Online's pa...

It's MK Podquest's ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY and we are celebrating by finally being finished with Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm! Honestly episode 13, Overthrown, was a pretty good episode of the series. Princess Kitana and the gang are attempting to overthrow Shao Kahn once and for all to free Edenia from outworld, and they've got a bird man friend helping out so that's pretty tight. The animation has gotten a major upgrade, which it turns out goes a long way to making this series watchable,...

It's the penultimate episode of Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm and, much like Jax in this episode, we are worn down from the constant struggle. Ermac is in this one, and so is Ruby, who is like sexy lady Ermac or something. Also there's some classic Corey F1 talk for all you race fans out there, so start your engines! We'll be back next week to talk about the FINAL EPISODE OF MORTAL KOMBAT DEFENDERS OF THE REALM but until then: Go listen to the Kombat Time podcast with Neal on it! (And al...

This week we're going to the subway tunnels under the theater to hang out with Damion Damaske and talk about Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm episode 11, the one with KABAL and everybody's favorite Mortal Kombat character Hideyoshi! It was a fine episode, we guess. Kabal was pretty cool and Kano and the Boys are back. I don't know, it's late and I'm tired. We'll be back next week to talk about the penultimate episode of MK Defenders of the Realm! Until then: Follow Damion on Twiter @Damaske...

We are a MORTAL KOMBAT podcast again, and we're talking Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm episode 10 - Swords of Ilkan, AKA the one that Neal insists has Kreeyans in it. Kitana finally gets to do something in the series, and she's brought Sonya along while most of the boys punch a portal with their fists. It was pretty good.

We've reached the end of ORB MONTH and the Warrior King's journey this week with Wing Commander Academy Episode 8: Recreation, easily the best episode of the crossover hands down. Neal is now fully a Wing Commander guy. Also we messed around with a soundboard on this one so expect a ton of airhorns. We're going back to being a Mortal Kombat podcast next week, but until then: Go check out the Wing Commander Combat Information Center ( @WCCIC on Twitter) and check out their posts about the crossov...

THE ORB has found it's way into SHANG TSUNG'S HANDS! Orb month kontinues as we discuss part 3 of the Warrior King Crossover, Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm Episode 9 - Resurrection, which it turns out is a pretty good episode of DotR that barely features the Warrior King at all. Also we talk about Chicago-style hot dogs and birthdays. We'll be a Wing Commander podcast next week when we wrap up the saga of the Warrior King.

ORB MONTH continues in Savage Dragon Season 2 Episode 8: Endgame, part 2 of the absolutely legendary and not at all pointless Warrior King crossover event! The Warrior King makes a stop off in a monster and crime infested Chicago to eat chili dogs with the Savage Dragon before heand his orb make their way to the Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm universe.

Thanks to Neal's insistence that we watch and discuss EVERYTHING (and not at all as a tactic to avoid talking about Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm for a couple weeks), we're taking a detour to another fighting game-based cartoon realm to tackle Street Fighter Episode 22: The Warrior King, part one of the EPIC 4-part cartoon crossover that just happens to tie into Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm. Next week we go to Chicago to see what this Dragon dude is up to. Rumor has it he's SAVA...

This week on the podcast we're joined by the one and only Brandon to talk episode 8 of Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm where Quan Chi makes his debut in the world of Mortal Kombat and pulls a prank on Sonya and the Boys which, surprise surprise, makes them all act like real assholes to eachother. Also, Quan Chi is a total snake guy. Also Neal fucks around with a sound board, and at the end of the podcast swallows a mosqito or some shit during the recording, so stay tuned for that! Next wee...

Look, we needed a break from watching Defenders of the Realm, so we took this week to discuss the recently released deleted scenes from Mortal Kombat (2021), talk about the upcoming Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms film, check in with some fellow Earthrealm Warriors, and make a few announcements about the future of the show! We'll be back to talking DotR next week, hopefully once we have some sanity back. Until then: Check out the Kombat Time podcast and follow them on Twitter @kombat...

Episode 7 of Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm , Fall from Grace, is the 'Pepsi Blue' of Mortal Kombat cartoons: bad. Everyone sucks, Sonya deserves better, Rayden sets off a volcano with lightning, and Corey struggles to down an entire bottle of the blue stuff throughout the recording. Buckle up, Earthrealmers!

In Episode 6 of Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm, Kano is back and he's using his Xbox to gaslight Sonya and the Boys into being real assholes to Nightwolf and his computer.

This week on the podcast we welcome writer and director Damion Damaske into the Kombat Kave to discuss Episode 5 of Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm, Old Friends Never Die , and we have a truly insane time and work hard to earn our Explicit tag. This episode tells the story of Sub-Zero, Smoke, and the Cyber Lin Kuei. It sounds like a lot happens in this one, but honestly there's about 5 minutes worth of story in this one. It's still probably the best episode of DotR so far. Follow Damion on...

Episode 4 of Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm, Skin Deep, has Rain and Motaro in it, and is pretty good! Although for some reason we talk a lot about Cheez-Its, Cheese Nips, and the dangers of searching for certain baked-cheese snacks on Bing when safe-search is turned off.

If you love ARMS, then this episode of Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm is for you! In episode 3, Acid Tongue, Jax is feeling bad about losing the chips to his metal arms, Sheeva and a bunch of Shokan show up with, like, four arms each, and Sonya is chained up by her arms by the reptile man Komodai.

A New (Old) Era of Mortal Kombat Television begins again as we tackle Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm Episode 1. We get not one, but TWO Earthrealm invasions, multiple jet fighter battles, and at least 22 CYBERS. Also, Neal makes what he considers to be a strong, inarguable case that DotR is in fact a sequel to Mortal Kombat: Annihilation because he's a crazy person. That may be up for debate, but one thing for sure isn't: THIS AIN'T YOUR DADDY'S MORAL KOMBAT CARTOON SERIES, FUCKO! Follow ...

Round 3 of Mortal Kombat: Annihilation is here! Now, we know what you're thinking: "Where's Round 2?" Sadly, Round 2 was condemned to the Netherrealm when Neal's audio fell victim to a particularly heinous FATALITY, forcing us to re-record an entire episode about the MK Annihilation novelization; a book that is only marginally better than the film. But it ain't all bad, we also give a little primer on what to expect when we start talking about the klassic 1996 animated series Mortal Kombat: Defe...

We've arrived at the next stop on our journey: Mortal Kombat (1995). A film Neal once described as "perfect" and Corey once described as "a movie I've seen once or twice." Now with all of this MK Conquest lore in our brains, we dive into the cinematic DIRECT SEQUEL to see how it holds up to deep analysis and scrutiny.

Spoiler alert: It's a real bummer of an episode because everybody f*cking dies, but the REAL tragedy is that we never got a season two.
