You know what?

Maybe there's a good reason donkeys shouldn't talk.

Well, that brings us to the end of our show.

Aisha Harris, Serena Torres, thanks so much to both of you for being here.

Thank you, Stephen.

This episode was produced by Candice Lim and edited by our showrunner, Jessica Reedy.

Hello, Come In provides our theme music.

Thank you for listening to Pop Culture Happy Hour from NPR.

I'm Stephen Thompson, and we will see you all next time.

The ultra-violent video game franchise Mortal Kombat has spun off into movies, comic books, a TV show, and more.

Now the latest sequel brings back more of the unforgettable characters you might have grown up eviscerating.

I'm Stephen Thompson.

Joining me today on NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour is Jordan Morris.

He's a podcaster and co-writer of the Marvel Comics series The Amazing Spider-Man Spider-Versity.

Hey, Jordan.

If anyone really starts to lose an argument in this conversation, I will, as host, be obligated to yell, finish him.

Also with us is Ronald Young Jr.

He's the host of the film and television review podcast, Leaving the Theater.

Hey, Ronald.

Hello, Stephen.
