On the final episode of our Magical Minority mini season, Stacey and Matthew sit down to discuss the new 2026 film, "Mortal Kombat II." GET OVER HERE and join us as we chat about the silver screen evolution of Raiden's character (which Matthew is much more knowledgeable about) and whether or not he has "transcended" his own magical minority trope.
