On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are unleashing an ancient evil into this world. We watched the 1999 film from Stephen Sommers, The Mummy.

Look, accidentally uttering evil words from a surely cursed book that should never have been dug up in the first place could happen to anybody. It’s not like Rick or Evie meant to awaken the great and powerful Imhotep.

Mistakes happen, you know? It’s kind of a jerk move to keep getting on their case about it. They mean well—Evie is a naturally curious lover of ancient Egyptian history and Rick is just a swashbuckling pretty boy who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

It all makes for a thrilling film, and one that’s celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary as of this writing! Head back into the desert for a rollicking good time.
