We review Dead Space: Downfall, where a crack security team protecting the mining spaceship ISHIMURA heroically feed themselves to a swarm of space demons, one by one, so that their defenseless crew can die anyway. Great work, team!
CONTENT WARNING: religious persecution (just like Wing Commander!), insanity, dismemberment, reanimation of the dead, questionable sedation techniques, mild language... mutiny?
Featuring the voices of Marc Athanas, Wayne Bressette, and Nick Mohr.

We review Wing Commander, a distant future where military orders are more like suggestions and no one fears death because they never existed in the first place. Also, CATS... IN... SPAAAACE!
CONTENT WARNING: galactic war, insubordination, religious persecution, the mental breakdown of one of our podcasters, mild language.
Featuring the voices of Marc Athanas, Wayne Bressette, and Nick Mohr.

We review "Bayonetta: Bloody Fate", an anime boss-rush where witches are saviours, angels are demons, and journalists are perverts with an amazing sense of smell. Confused yet? So are we, but strap in anyway for non-stop-climax action!
CONTENT WARNING: dark magic, heresy, child abandonment, sexually suggestive lip licking, mild language.
Featuring the voices of Marc Athanas, Wayne Bressette, and Nick Mohr.

We review Dante's Inferno, where no one seems to deserve all Nine Circles more than our titular "hero". Seriously, to Hell with this guy...
CONTENT WARNING: despicable protagonists, mass murder, religious war crimes, damning your beloved's immortal soul so you can do some heathen raping, strong language (seriously, we didn't bleep anything out this time).

We review the newest Mortal Kombat, a gorgeous and moving short film about the origin of Scorpion and Sub Zero's blood feud. If only this was a full film... oh, wait, there's more? AMAZING! But who's this new guy? And where did Scorpion go? Uh-oh...
CONTENT WARNING: blood, bait and switch, additional blood and gore, useless protagonists, bloody fights to the death, dangerous Australians, so much blood everywhere, plot holes, enough blood to wash away all of the plot holes, mild language.

ROUND 3, FIGHT!
We review Mortal Kombat, where our heroes get stuck finishing their brother's chores, fight an 8 foot tall puppet to avenge a pair of sunglasses, and prove just tough enough to get subdued by some light hair pulling. Prepare yourself!
If you want to see more about the legitimately impressive puppetry that brought Prince Goro to life, here's a link:

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
We review "Bloodsport", the JCVD kickfest that spawned the MK series like illegitimate video game offspring. US Army Captain Frank Dux enters the Kumite, a secret full-contact fighting tournament, to honour the legacy of his Shidoshi. Without this film, the fighting game genre wouldn't be the same, so it's time to pay tribute. Sumos, split punches, and spin kicks galore. Hop aboard, Kumite express leaves in 5 minutes!
CONTENT WARNING: tournament fighting, murder, "breaking the f#&$ing world record!", blindness, mild language.
Featuring the voices of Marc Athanas, Wayne Bressette, and Nick Mohr, with special guest Chris Niejadlik.

We review "The Wizard", the 90 minute NES commercial with two separate competitions to cheer over: who will win Videogame Armageddon, and who has the saddest backstory? Starring Fred Savage and guest starring Super Mario Bros 3 for the NES.
CONTENT WARNING: runaways, orphans, children drowning, PTSD, bounty hunters, alleged child molestation, mild language.
Featuring the voices of Marc Athanas, Wayne Bressette, and Nick Mohr, with special guest Chris Niejadlik.
