## Resource

It has begun! This week, with Mortal Kombat 2 looming, we decided to take a look at the 2021 reboot of the video game franchise. Join us as we discuss the main character created specifically for the film, the fact that there's no tournament in the film, and find out which host fell asleep while watching. Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie. Our theme music was written and performed by Dave Katusa. He can be found on Instagram @dkat_productions.
