The Mummy (1999)

Everything Actioncast

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Mummy.

A "remake" of the 1932 Boris Karloff Universal Monsters classic, Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, Arnold Vosloo, John Hannah, and Oded Fehr star in the action-packed update that was a massive hit in 1999 and spawned sequels, a spin-off franchise, a theme park ride, and an animated series. Zach and Chris talk about how the curse to punish Imhotep makes him an unstoppable evil force, try to figure out what crime Rick committed that would get him hanged, the outstanding balance of action, humor, and horror, if there's one too many greedy weasely characters and more.

You can watch The Mummy on Peacock or rent it from various digital services. Next week, we're returning to the Monsterverse's beginning and talking about Godzilla (2014) as it celebrates its 10th anniversary.
