PPR 5th Year Anniversary Special: Mortal Kombat Commentary

ver since we started doing one of these every 12 months, we’ve not only received requests to do it from you guys, but we’ve personally also enthusiastically tossed the idea of recording an episode around this film; Mortal Kombat.

Join Georgie, Ser, Andrew, and Ser as we romanticize the only claim to fame Robin Shou can brag about on his IMDB page, and talk about other things too like Shokan nards, Jag, Legends of The Hidden Temple, Billy Zane and his twin, who would win in a real fight between Christopher Lambert and James Remar, and more.

I know we’ve said it before (and will most likely say it again the actuall anniversary podcast), but the countless nights of editing, writing, laughing, and crying would not have been possible without you guys—I’m sincerely grateful for everyone who has supported us. The T-shirts and posters are still being made but will hit the store really soon (we’re really sorry about the wait!) I’m truly blessed to have PPR, all of us here are, and it’s all thanks to you lovable shmucks.

Mail us at our new email Mailbag@presspauseradio.com, leave a voicemail at 469-PPR-TALK, and be sure to stop by at our Forums if you haven’t already registered and post your thoughts about the show.

PPR 78

ey guys, remember when we all played that sweet RPG on the Super Nintendo Bahumat Lagoon? No? What about Seiken Densetsu 3, you guys had to have played that right? Gyakuten Kenji 2? Everyone is killing me! Oh, wait, what’s that? You say that none of those games ever came out to North America; yeah, we know that, that’s why there’s the wonderful culture of import gaming. The charming Stevie, cynical James, pugnacious Ser, and scumbag Georgie bring you the latest PPR and this week, they talk about some video games y’all. Topics range from sharing our respects towards Hiroshi Yamauchi and Nintendo’s sordid past with love hotels, the price difference of Zebra bed sheets versus Tiger bed sheets, Super Mario Bros: The Movie 2: the comic, Sega buying Atlus, and so much more in this shit storm of a podcast.

PPR Anniversary episode voter poll

his Saturday is going to be a big day for us people; it’ll be 4 amazing fucking years since we launched Press Pause Radio. Last year, we chose to record commentary for the cinematic classic, The Wizard; with a drinking game on top—we’re going to make that very same mistake again this year, and this time, we’re giving you guys the choice. We’ve made it pretty easy, all you have to do is vote in this incredibly convenient poll, and determine which particular film will play as we record all the horrible choices we’re going to make watching it, and this is for your entertainment folks. We’ll be checking the results this Friday night so get at us!

Which Movie should be feature presentation for Press Pause Radio's four year anniversary special?
   

So the votes have it, we're going to be recording commentary for the notoriously awful 1993 film, Super Mario Bros.-The Movie. Directed by the fickle husband/wife duo Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel, the movie exists as a scar in everyone of our childhoods be it the terrible acting or the criminally liberal take on the lore of the Japanese video game icon, this movie is an abortion pure and simple. It gets better though folks because not only will we be recording commentary, we'll be playing the officially recognized drinking game for this dog turd of a film, here are the rules for you folks...

Every time that Mario and/or Luigi refer to each other by name or mention Daisy, take a drink.
Whenever “the rock” is mentioned (or meteorite), take a drink.
Anytime the bob-omb appears randomly, take a drink.
Every time there is a forced reference to the Super Mario games, take a drink.
Every time, the “fungus” is shown on screen (you know which one), take a drink.
Everytime the ‪Devo Machine‬ is used to make someone evolve or de-evolve, take a drink.
Whenever it is mentioned, or Mario and Luigi use their plumbing skills, take a drink.

PPR 65

So there is a man who jumped from space, but who cares? We are all waiting patiently to hear about more important things, like movies based on video games. No worries, Press Pause Radio is here to save the day once again. The group welcomes Catie back to the show as we extensively discuss all the games that were played in our respective consoles and portable devices. Then we try to find any movies based on video games that are actually worthwhile. Will we accomplish the impossible? Will anyone ever be a better Raiden than Christopher Lambert? Find out on this episode, and so much more.
