Unfinished Business Television is back with our September 2026 Movie Review Episode, and this month we’re tackling two of the year’s biggest franchise releases: MORTAL KOMBAT II and SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY!

First, we enter the arena for MORTAL KOMBAT II. The fighters are back, the stakes are higher, and the franchise is looking to deliver the full-blown tournament spectacle fans have been waiting for. We break down the returning characters, new additions, brutal action, fatalities, visual effects, humor, and whether this sequel finally delivers the definitive live-action Mortal Kombat experience.

🔥 Did Mortal Kombat II score a FLAWLESS VICTORY—or should somebody perform a fatality on this franchise?

Then we’re swinging back into the MCU with SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY! 🕷️

Following the game-changing ending of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Tom Holland’s Peter Parker enters a very different chapter of his life. We discuss the film’s new direction, Holland’s performance, villains, action sequences, surprises, connections to the larger Marvel universe, and whether Brand New Day successfully gives Spider-Man the fresh start promised by its title.

🕸️ Does stripping Peter Parker’s life back down allow the MCU to rediscover what makes Spider-Man special?

🎬 How does Brand New Day compare with Holland’s previous Spider-Man adventures?

💥 And between Spidey’s web-slinging and Mortal Kombat’s bone-crunching battles, which blockbuster gave us the better time at the movies?

⚠️ SPOILER WARNING: We’re getting into major plot details for both movies, so consider yourself warned!
