The Kulturecast

We take a break from Mike White May to talk about the latest entry into the forever franchise that has become Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu. Featuring Pedro Pascal, from time to time as the Mandalorian, and Grogu, the space western opera follows the further exploits of the two as they attempt to free the son of Jabba Hutt while working for the Rebels.

Mike White May is all Sean Connery all month long, but now it must come to an end, and it comes to an end with a monk murder mystery with The Name of the Rose. Starring Connery as a thin facsimilie of Sherlock Holmes and Christian Bale as a young stand-in for Watson as they investigate an abbey in the north of Italy where strange murders have been taking place. Richard Hatem's Paranormal Bookshelf's Richard Hatem joins the show to talk all about the film and star Elya Baskin is interviewed about his time on the film.

Mike White May continues with more Sean Connery, except this time it's fake news and he's the one selling it in Wrong is Right. Starring Connery as Patrick Hale, a globetrotting news muckraker who gets involved with all the US letter agencies in a game of intrigue and murder. It's less fun than it sounds which is a real shame given the Connery of it all.

We take another break from Mike White May to travel back to Netherrealm, Outworld, and everywhere in between (looking at your Orderrealm) with the sequel to 2021's COVID classic Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat II. With the first tournament in the books, the latest film shifts focus to Johnny Cage (played by Karl Urban) as he is thrown right into the mix of the latest struggle of wills between Raiden, Shang Tsung, and the ultimate baddie, Shao Kahn.
