Spencer and Dave are going back to the total original Mortal Kombat movie from 1995! And no, that is not the classic live action film, this is The Animated Video cassette that came out to promote the movie. The Journey Begins is a mix match experimental cartoon that uses both traditional 2D animation and 3D cutscenes. Giving a short story to catch people up on some of the original characters and their backstories for the coming tournament. You definitely had to be there back in the day to really understand this video's proper impact. A time when there just wasn't a whole lot of merchandise and adaptations to have of what you loved, and you enjoyed anything you could get your mitts on.

In retrospect, the movie has some bizarre animation that does feel like a very experimental test movie. Some might say the CG is uncanny and terrible but for the time it's not too far off from Quest World, Reboot, and even that Donkey Kong Country Show. The movie itself is only about 45 minutes long, so a total teaser. But the VHS also includes some cool behind the scenes features of the live action Paul Anderson movie and ads for the games, Mortal Kombat Live show, and some interesting character bios. It's a video that if you are a die-hard MK fan, you should defiantly give this the ole watch. You can see it on YouTube and it also says it is on some special features on the blu ray of the first film.

Spencer and Josh are going back to 1995 to watch what might be the biggest spectacle of any pirate movie ever made, Cutthroat Island. If anything, no other film out there might have as much explosives as this movie is packing. We discuss the movie in a retrospective review going through all the turmoils and issues that it had while being made and why it did not seem to make the big bucks it deserved at the box office.

It's not a perfect movie by any means and it does have some goofy dialogue throughout it, but it is still one hell of a thrilling ride. Just like the big explosions in the end, this was also the final flick of Carolco Pictures. Really marking the end of a major era in cinema. And sadly, we lost the Arnold Schwarzenegger and Paul Verhoeven film The Crusade in the process. Cause there could be only one, and money was already fueled into Cutthroat Island.

Directed by Renny Harlin, the guy who did Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger, and Deep Blue Sea and starring Geena Davis in the leading role, which she carries very well and delivers throughout. We also got ole Matthew Modine as the second in command, comic relief character. Which sadly is a little off and does kind of feel like a second-rate Carey Elwes. Rounded off with Frank Langella as the heavy, providing a great pirate villain to chew some scenery even with the silly lines he sometimes gets.

Spencer and Cameron are going back to PlayStation 1, 1998 style with one of the most unique gaming experiences one can have and a style that has never been duplicated in all the years that follow. We are talking all about the Survival Horror RPG from Squaresoft, Parasite Eve, staring the ever-classic female protagonist. Aya Brea. A story sequel to the 1995 book and 1997 adaptation movie of the same name.

This story starts off in New York on Christmas, with Aya Brea, a police officer attending an opera and all hell breaking loose. This game is like a Japanese version of Die Hard and Lethal Weapon. Combining a police investigation with science-based mutant-like creatures using the mitochondria ATP that we all learned from biology class back in the day. The story is killer and keeps you locked in through the whole journey. The graphics are top notch for the era, and each new chapter has a completely unique style and look. To top it all off the gameplay is a traditional turn-based RPG but with a mixed run around feature. Complete with level ups and gun upgrading that gives so much personal variety for everyone's different types of play.

The game comes in at the right length without ever wearing out its welcome. If that wasn't enough the game has a fantastic replay new game plus with EX mode and then a challenge tower with the Chrysler Building too. 77 floors of continual punishment. We go through it all and talk about our latest experience going through this game. On both original hardware and emulation. A game that Square really needs to bring back and if all they did was give Parasite Eve 1 and 2 the Tomb Raider 1-6 Remaster treatment. That would be more than enough to get new and old folks to enjoy this cult classic masterpiece.

So, come join us for the run through retrospective review, as we deep dive into the lore, gameplay mechanics, and give a retro review on our modern experience. Let us know your thoughts on the game, survival horror titles, and what we should play next.
