Mortal Kombat II

Tuner

Episode 90: Tuner Stratis is thrilled that this week’s film doesn’t have any talking sheep or a ridiculous amount of blood and guts. Instead, we’re treated to an actual story with real characters. At least that's what he thought of Tuners. The film takes us into the world of a master piano tuner who also has hyper-sensitive hearing. What else can he do with his super hearing? Crack safes for the mob and fall in love at the same time. Screen legend Dustin Hoffman brings some old-school charm, and we both really enjoyed his performance. One last thing - not sure why but Tina tells us way too much about her ear wax and how it’s held her back from going into the safe cracking profession. Don’t forget that “E-flat is wrong!” Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/beyondthecineramadome/] Blue Sky [https://bsky.app/profile/tinakakadelis.com] Letterboxd [https://letterboxd.com/tina_docx/] Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/beyondthecineramadome] YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@beyondthecineramadome] Music - "New York Big Jazz" by MagikStudio/Jamendo/Adobe Stock

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu

Episode 89: Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu If you want to slog through a galaxy far far away, then maybe you’re a good candidate for the latest Star Wars film, The Mandalorian and Grogu. We definitely didn't have the Force with us on this one. Tina spent most of the movie curled up in a ball and Stratis managed to nap through the really loud fight scenes. We both thought the musical score was fantastic and the composer deserved a better movie to work with. We did get to talk about Blade Runner and why Sigourney Weaver hasn't made it to Star Trek yet. At least that's something.

I Love Boosters

Episode 88: I Love Boosters The theme of this week’s movie is Fashion Forward Philanthropy, and if that doesn’t make sense to you then you probably need to go see I Love Boosters. Boots Riley’s latest film takes us on a psychedelic ride through Los Angeles while stealing high-fashion clothing. Guess who showed up at the theater wearing an I Love Boosters t-shirt? Tina, so you know she’s all in on Riley’s vision. Stratis, on the other hand, has some mixed opinions. He was all ready to enjoy a madcap, Scooby Doo-like crime caper, just like the one he was promised in the trailer. Instead, he was forced to deal with what Tina called a ‘maximalist, plain, simple colors’ film. Not sure how he’s going to process that! Get ready for a spirited discussion about this movie and how unique films like this ever get made.

Obsession

Episode 87: Obsession This week’s movie, Obsession, creates drama for Stratis right from the start. A co-dependency love story is just too much for him to handle. According to him, this film is somehow boring and deeply disturbing at the same time. On the other hand, Tina loved it and would be happy to see it many more times. How are we even related? Our backseat sentient being makes an appearance and comes up with a great pull quote that summarizes the movie nicely - Deeply Upsetting, Done Well. Our advice is that if you’re offered an opportunity to have your one big wish come true, steer clear of making someone fall in love with you. That’s assuming you don’t want a rampage of carnage with gallons of blood spilled everywhere you look. You’ve been warned.

Mortal Kombat II

Episode 86: Mortal Kombat II Kombat is this week’s theme and we get right into it over the need for this movie to even exist. Is Mortal Kombat II actually a movie or just a bunch of video game scenes? Tina takes the stand that it’s a fun summer romp, but Stratis isn’t having any of it. Granted, he may have done some napping during important plot points, but he doesn’t think that mattered much. Here’s an Inside Baseball thought - how come the necromancer couldn’t bring this film back from the dead? Let’s just say this might be a hard sell for anyone other than people who are already fans of the franchise. At least Stratis finds a Star Trek connection.
