The Dark Universe might have been dead on arrival, but 1999's The Mummy remains just as beloved as ever. More than two decades later, fans continue to revisit Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz's sweeping adventure.
On this episode, Catherine Gonzales of Latinx Lens joins the show as we talk about the film's influence on modern blockbusters, its iconic cast of unforgettable characters, and how well it holds up by today's standards.
SYNOPSIS
The Mummy is a rousing, suspenseful and horrifying epic about
an expedition of treasure-seeking explorers in the Sahara Desert in
1925. Stumbling upon an ancient tomb, the hunters unwittingly set
loose a 3,000-year-old legacy of terror, which is embodied in the
vengeful reincarnation of an Egyptian priest who had been sentenced
to an eternity as one of the living dead.
