Pop Culture Happy Hour
Mortal Kombat II and What’s Making Us Happy

I think they did a good job.

Does he have the greatest American accent in the world?

Mortal Kombat II and What’s Making Us Happy

I really liked – because he is supposed to be a Steven Seagal or a Chuck Norris or one of these types of guys who's washed up.

Like Super Mario, when they set out to make this movie, they didn't ask themselves, but what if the Mortal Kombat games happened in real life?

Pop Culture Happy Hour
Mortal Kombat II and What’s Making Us Happy

They asked, what are the fun things about these games and how can we put them on screen?

The logic of the Mario movie is so great because it's just like, Mario gets big when he gets a mushroom.

We don't need to explain it.

Pop Culture Happy Hour

People know that.

And this movie is just like,
