Welcome to Mystery Crate slash Cinephob, the podcast we break down the breaking down of

the movies you're afraid to make you love. I'm Zach Harper. That's Amino Hassan. That's

Mike Ryan on this home and home with the Mystery Crate and Cinephob. Filming for Anthony

Mayes is our usual producer of said show Anthony Mayes will be on our version of this when

we drop Mortal Kombat annihilation. Mike, this is a podcast where if you have a submission,

we ask you to submit it. Yeah, okay. I like that. I like that. I did that. Mike submitted

this one and the reason why we're doing this one for Mystery Crate is because it was

quote, too good for Cinephob. Yeah. It's scored too high. It doesn't need the qualification

of your podcast Cinephob, which I'm a fan of. And I go cherry picking along the archives

to see which episodes really resonate with me movies that I grew up on. You do a lot

of those that I can't believe some of these movies qualify as bad movies. I was disappointed

to learn that you both didn't really like Hot Rod, which is a shame because I liked

Hot Rod. But certain movies mean different things to different people and the movie that

we're going to do on this episode, which isn't a true Cinephob because again, it's too

good. Doesn't qualify according to your metric. No, Mortal Kombat annihilation absolutely

does qualify. And I can't wait to do that on your podcast Cinephob. But we're hoping that

you enjoy this enough that you want to go and check out a really great podcast that Amino

Hassan and Zach Harper do Cinephob. This movie is awesome boys. Yes, spoiler alert.

This the normal criteria is 40% or lower on Rotten Tomatoes for the audience or the

Critic score, but Mortal Kombat 46 and 57 respectively, which I mean, I was a little surprised.

I'm a little surprised in this 1995 action adventure fantasy Mortal Kombat is not qualifying

for Cinephob. Do you guys remember the first time you saw Mortal Kombat?
