The Rewinders Podcast rewinds - and reboots - movies from the 80s and 90s that we watched as kids. We talk about what is remembered and felt about it as a child. Then, we determine if the movie still holds up. In between that we sing, make jokes, and act dumb in general. Current hosts of the Podcast are Joe, Ken, Andy, and Dan. Movies are reviewed on a bi-weekly basis and are released on Monday mornings.

When video games are popular, what better thing to do than to make a half-effort attempt at making a movie to cash in on it?
The 1995 Mortal Kombat follows 3 of the "good guys" characters from the video game - and their endeavor to save the world through MORTAL KOMBAT!
Is this story in line with the games... no. Do the fighting moves look as cheesy as they do in the game... yes!
Join Sonya - one of the boring characters from the game, as she is somehow thrust into a position of "importance" in the plot... which is never explained in film. Is this odd story interesting... nope. But, other things keep happening around that story to maybe keep you interested.
Also, its nice to see Christopher Lambert again - but its a little weird that he plays Rayden the lightening god who apparently rules over the Earth Realm. Rayden, according to Babynames.com is Japanese meaning "God Spirit" - so, you know... having a white dude playing the role totally makes sense.
Join Joe, Ken, Andy, and Dan as they discuss their history with the game and the movie to determine if it still holds up. Plus, bonus rebooting segment for the (at this point) upcoming Mortal Kombat film.
