Mark needed a pallet cleanser after last week's Street Fighter episode, and so Jasmin thought yet another video game adaptation would do the trick! We covered the MK reboot waaaaayyyyy back on episode 46! But we're taking it back to the OG -- Mortal Kombat (1995). Jasmin was worried that Mark would hate this film so badly that she'd need to recruit a new co-host. Did the Geeks have a falling out? Tune in to find out!
