Punisher: One Last Kill Drops First Brutal Trailer

·1 hr 18 min·5 clips

A Star Wars film fails to make Fandango's top 10 most anticipated list, beaten by Mortal Kombat and Insidious.

The episode opens with John Campea introducing the show and his guests, Jonathan Vojko and Robert Meyer Burnett. They start by discussing the new Mortal Kombat 2 trailer, with John calling it the most dangerous trailer ever but predicting the movie will be terrible yet fun to watch, similar to the original Mortal Kombat film. The conversation shifts to Fandango's survey of 6,000 average movie fans, revealing Toy Story 5 as the most anticipated summer film, followed by Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Devil Wears Prada 2, with Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey at number four. John and Rob express surprise that Mortal Kombat 2 ranks eighth, above Supergirl and Insidious. They note the absence of Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu from the top 10, attributing it to Star Wars' current status and the film being seen as an extension of the TV show. The hosts then play a 'Versus' game, where they debate fan-submitted scenarios like Masters of the Universe vs. Street Fighter and John Bernthal's Punisher vs. Charlie Cox's Daredevil. They also discuss the finalists for the role of Maxima in Superman: Man of Tomorrow, including Adria Arjona and Sydney Chandler. Later, they react to the trailer for Punisher: One Last Kill, praising its brutal action and emotional depth. The episode concludes with audience questions on topics like crowd anxiety at movies, the Shrinking finale, and Marvel's future plans.
