2.1K views · 1w ago · 1:15:31

This week we took a bit of a detour as Tommy sits down with Roper and friend of the show Matthew Syrett for a spoiler-filled discussion about their recent trip to see the new Street Fighter movie in cinemas. How does it compare to the other adaptations of the series? Does Jason Mamoa really need another film franchise? What’s going on with Bison’s foot fetish? All that and more.

Guest: AWS’s Andrei Muratov

Apologies for the sound quality: we’re still figuring out the new lapel mics, plus we recorded this outside and my voice is absolutely shot after the first three days of Gamescom week. By this point I had been on a panel, gave a talk, hosted a roundtable, had a bunch of meetings and also chatted away with loads of people into the wee hours of the morning down the Alter Markt in downtown Cologne. So yeah, not in the best conditions for recording a podcast!
