We’re going 16-bit and unleashing combo attack moves on the MORTAL KOMBAT II & STREET FIGHTER (2026) trailers. Joining us is Andy Jimison, video game aficionado and co-host of the @materia_machina podcast, who shares his love and Nintendo Power level knowledge on the original 2D arcade fighting games while helping us tear down the trailers for the newest movie adaptations.

Are they flawless victories or do they fall flat, left only for a final fatality?

We’ve uncovered a hidden gem of a trailer for TIPTOES, a 2004 rom-com (?) starring Matthew McConaughey, Kate Beckinsale, and “in a role of a lifetime,” Gary Oldman. There’s a lot to unpack in this borderline SNL-esque parody trailer.
Listen to the episode for our complete teardown!
