Helmed by returning director Simon McQuoid, Mortal Kombat II is the sequel to 2021’s initial return to this video game universe. Expect martial arts hijinks and fantasy as the champions of Earthrealm are (surprise) forced to fight one another even as they attempt to resist the rise of a larger villain, Shao Khan. We discuss whether this installment in the franchise is good old-fashioned action fun, or another video game adaptation dud.

Talking apes and Jedi Knights are cool, but how do they impact Hollywood as a whole? That's the kind of stuff we talk about on Popcorn Culture - a mixed-bag-exploration of the movies, TV shows, and pop culture buzz that we love, as well as the ones we love (slightly) less.

Mortal Kombat II

Star Wars is back on the big screen, with The Mandalorian and Grogu. Building on the Disney+ series, the film brings together, as the title suggests, the Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu AKA Baby Yoda, as they go on a Western-inspired space adventure. Things get messy when they go on a mission that involves the infamous Hutts. First, we discuss if the film lives up to the series. Then on Take Two, we explore the highs and lows of the Star Wars franchise.

We review Michael, the biopic on Michael Jackson, starring his nephew Jaafar Jackson in the lead role. Then, we discuss the acclaimed comedy drama series, Beef, which is back with another season and a whole new cast of characters. This time, it follows two couples (Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan as one pair, alongside Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny) divided by generation, wealth, power and crumbling marriages. Then, on Take Two we ask you: What’s a movie or show where the vibe (like the music, wardrobe, or overall mood) really made the experience for you?
