Popcorn Culture - Throwback: The Mummy

A 1999 remake of a 1932 film, The Mummy packed a lot into its 2-hour runtime: zany comedy, all the trappings of a classic action-adventure film, and a great pairing in the form of Brendan Fraser's American adventurer Rick O'Connell and Rachel Weisz's scholarly librarian, Evelyn Carnahan. All that - and of course, mummies and pyramids. In this episode, we take it back to the movie that kickstarted sequels and spinoffs (and maybe, kind of, Dwayne Johnson's career), and talk about whether it still holds up. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
