We end the year of TAG critical watch events with a Paul Anderson’s (not the one you think) 1995 classic, Mortal Kombat. While the Oscars that year completely ignored Mortal Kombat, awarding Babe (that’s the talking pig movie for those of you who weren’t around) for Best Visual Effects, Mortal Kombat was out there doing the real work. But where is Babe now? At a time when Mortal Kombat has multiple follow-up films and over two dozen games, the pig is nowhere to be found. Did this film play a role in the death of Babe? Can we credit some of the longevity of the Mortal Kombat franchise to this dynamic piece of media? All these questions and more are up for discussion as we celebrate the end of the term with a pigless tournament for the soul of Earthrealm. As always, this will be held in the Fine Arts screening room, EV 10.525.

Seating is very limited, so if you wish to attend, please RSVP by sending an email directly to tag.coordinator@concordia.ca or by messaging Marc on the TAG Discord.
