This episode of The PVDcast is a bit of a blast from the past. In July, I traveled to Pittsburgh to attend the Wizard World comic convention. While there, I participated in another episode of Mike McGTV’s YouTube show, Remake Revolution. This is a competition where two teams try to remake a sub-par movie based on several criteria. Paired up with an audience member, Max from the 3 Geeks Podcast and I do battle, trying to create the best remake of the 1995 film, Mortal Kombat. Tune in to find out which team scored a “flawless victory”!
