We recorded the main topic of this episode (The Bloodrayne part) in March of 2024, and then a lot of things changed which we explain in an intro that we recorded in July of 2025. You'll get it once you listen.
We both want to thank you all everything. Making this show has truly been a pleasure.

We'll be back next week to talk about the rest of the book, which is sure to have a satisfying conclusion that leaves no questions unanswered. Until then:

★ Support this podcast ★After a brief tangent about the comic series Empowered, Neal makes Corey to listen to 9 pages of holiday themed Mortal Kombat multiverse fanfiction that he wrote. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year everybody!
We're BACK and we're talking the brand new(ish) animated feature Mortal Kombat Legends: Cage Match, a retro styled Johnny Cage adventure that is also secretly a "christmas movie." Also, we're pretty cranky on this episode, despite the movie being pretty good, so we're sorry(ish).
A status update from the boys!
Dominic Hart (Twitter: @domxhart | @domxhart.bsky.social) joins The Boys to talk about a bewildering and nearly impossible to find 1996 Martial Arts film starring Ho-Sung Pak, Richard Divizio, and something like 20 other actors associated with Mortal Kombat productions, games, or commercials. Is the movie good? You'll have to listen to find out!*
*Not really, no.
★ Support this podcast ★We're going track by track through the 1994 Mortal Kombat album produced by The Immortals, aka The Lords of Acid. Will any of these tracks reach the unforgettable high of 'Techno Syndrome'? You'll have to listen to find out!*
We'll be back again to talk about an obscure martial arts movie starring several Mortal Kombat alumni! Until then:
*No.
★ Support this podcast ★The boys are BACK with their first LIVE episode (Live to our discord server to an audience of 4) to talk about hreshold Entertainment's Mortal Kombat: Live Tour and The Ultimate Guide to Mortal Kombat CD-Rom! No cuts! No edits! No plan!
Here's some links to the stuff we talk about:
We'll be back again to talk about Mortal Kombat albums! Until then:
Mortal Kombat is no stranger to reboots, but on this episode we're talking about a very specific 'Mortal Kombat' ReBoot. Also apparently Corey doesn't think skeletons are real.
There will be more episodes of this podcast later.
Until then:
Friend of the show Danny (@eckspider on Twitter) made us aware that there's a 9 page manga adaptation of the classic Mortal Kombat movie (which you can read HERE), so we forced him come on the podcast to talk about it.
Who knows what we'll be talking about on the next episode? We surely don't.
Until Then:
We did it.
The first person in the Continental United States who emails us at theboys@mkpodquest.comwill receive Neal's DVD copies of 'Death to the Supermodels' and 'Poison Ivy' 1-3.
Check out the 'They Made Another One' episode on Poison Ivy II: Lily
We'll do a Mortal Kombat thing next episode.
Until then:
Look, we're sorry. But there's technically FOUR Mortal Kombat actors in this.
More Jaime Pressly next episode (probably).
Until then:
There's fighting game movies, and then there's fighting game movies. DOA: Dead or Alive is a good time and Jaime Pressly and Robin Shou are in it.
Our next episode also won't be about a Mortal Kombat thing but will feature more Jaime Pressly (probably).
Until then:
Look, you all knew this was coming. Neal plans to turn every podcast he does into an Archie Comics podcast, so we're discussing the Sabrina the Teenage Witch season 1 episode featuring Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as Tai Wai Tse. Let's just get right into it.
Round 2 of the Brazilian Mortal Kombat 4 comics
Read more about these MK4 comics at mortalkombatonline.comWe thought we were done with licensed 90s Mortal Kombat comics, but then we found out about this 4-issue series from Brazil based on MK4. It's a ride for sure. Shout-out to Tabmok99 and MKO user Gentile who translated these comics in to english for the fans!
Read more about these MK4 comics from Brazil at mortalkombatonline.comIt's time. Ben Mekler, host of Mortal Podkast, has returned to our realm to be told the rest of the story of Mortal Kombat Conquest from the perspective of The Great Kung Lao. For those keeping track, we bulldoze through episodes 12-22, bringing an end to the saga of the Kombat Krew for a third time.
On the next episode we'll be fighting our way through the licensed Mortal Kombat 4 comic series from Brazil. Until then:
Once again we are at the END of the end of the greatest television series ever: Mortal Kombat Conquest.
Huge thank you to Dakota Rain for the iconic "Kombatant of the Week" Drop!
The commentary run might be over but we've got plenty of MK Podquest goodness still to come. Until then:
