What happened to The Mummy? | 1932 - 2017

This week we're unraveling nearly a century of cinematic history as we explore what happened to The Mummy. We debate whether the franchise ever had a true identity, compare the gothic horror of the original films to the swashbuckling spectacle of the 1999 version, and unpack why the 2017 reboot lost the heart that made the property iconic.
