Street Fighter | Did They Actually Pull This Off? #108
https://popcornhourpod.com/ This week on The Popcorn Hour, Matt and James are stepping into the ring with the new Street Fighter movie. With a cast featuring Jason Momoa, 50 Cent, Cody Rhodes, and Noah Centineo, this adaptation takes some pretty big swings bringing the legendary video game franchise to the big screen. We’re talking about the fights, the characters, the absolutely ridiculous cast, and whether this movie actually delivers or ends up being another video game adaptation that misses the mark.
