Today's Barber Shop Talk podcast reviews the film "Mortal Kombat," directed by Simon McQuoid, starring Lewis Tan, Joe Taslim, Ludi Lin, Hiroyuki Sanada, and more. Mortal Kombat is a 2021 American martial arts fantasy film based on the video game franchise of the same name and a reboot of the Mortal Kombat film series.
