  • He Does It All

    Jason is one man machine. His podcast covers a lot of rpg subjects. He has many guests that have fun conversations. And Jason, I think he's worse than me buyoing gaming products and Kickstaters.

S2 Street Fighter vs Mortal Kombat movies Bonus41

Mirke recalls having seen the movies in the early 90s but had not revisited them recently until now.
S2 Listener Calls and Spawn (1997) Bonus38
Q: What's the best killer revenge scene in the movie?
The scene where Spawn gets his revenge on the Violator, although it's anticlimactic and not very satisfying.
S2 Listener Calls and Spawn (1997) Bonus38
Q: How does he come back and what does his revenge look like?
He comes back with necro powers after being kept in darkness for five years. His revenge is almost entirely unsuccessful as he doesn't get to kill the one who ordered his death.
