I absolutely adore the scene where Beni first sees the Mummy, immediately pulls out tons of necklaces and starts reciting prayers from every religion in any language he can remember out of desperation. As I've gotten older I've grown to really love and respect the hustle of villain character who runs away and is a coward.

I was gonna mention that scene too. The scene itself is just great, but the fact that it actually works is such a great moment.

The eyes thing isn't a plot hole, it's actually part of the plot. The fact that the guy's eyesight is so bad is why the Mummy mistakes Evelyn for Anck-su-namun. One of the more clever little aspects of the movie if you ask me.

54:18 the movie actually explains that! Imhotep flees when he see the cat, then Evie's boss explain that "cats are the guardians of the underworld" and in another scene O'Conell grabs the cat and says "LOOK WHAT I GOT!" to scare Imhotep away

And Evie's boss mentions "until he's fully restored" or something similar so they don't get the chance to use that tactic again once he's fully juiced up. It's a neat little moment and it's logically explained so they have reason not to just overuse the tactic.

One thing that is not specifically said in the movies but is likely to be true is that Johnatan is WWI veteran who suffers from PTSD or Shellshock as they called it back then. It would explain his behaviour and marksman skills. Clearest indication of it is the very first line he says: "Sometimes I'd rather like to join them (the dead)". When you watch the movies with this in mind you'll see his character in very different light.

Oh yes my husband and I can also quote the whole movie. We do those one-liners all the time and random ones. "Think of my children." "You don't have any children." "Someday I might."

Chelsea; the actor who plays the Nubian in the 1932 film is Noble Johnson. He’s a pretty interesting guy. Johnson started his own production company in the silent era that primarily made films for African American audiences. He also happened to be buddies with Lon Chaney Sr. He also played the native chief in the og King Kong. He was made-up to have a darker skin tone than his own for his role in The Mummy but he was African American himself.

The scene where Evie does the domino effect in the library was actually one take. I imagine how excited and relieved everyone was when it went perfectly because it'd be a HUGE pain in the ass the set it all back up

Brendan Fraser is a very charismatic and incredible actor. I'm just glad he's back.❤

I actually think that Ardeth Bay's reaction to flying (possibly for the first time) gave him a much needed quirk that he wouldn't otherwise have and prevented him from being a one-note character. It showed that he does belong with this group of quirky people in his own way.

I love the part where Beni is like "O'Connell looks like I have all the horses." And O'Connell says " hey Beni, looks like you're on the wrong side of the river."

In the sequel it is revealed that Evie is the reincarnation of the Pharaoh's daughter. Also taking Byrne's eyes isn't a plot hole.

...I always thought that was just a made-up word from Bambi.

I remember Evie being one of the first proper Action heroine I’ve looked up to back in the days. A pretty great example of a strong female character! She has class and elegance. Yet her knowledge shines through as power. Of course in the first movie she was more of a Damsel in distress type, so she was to be underestimated. A bookworm taken out of the library, and thrown into a world of exploration and adventure. But her strength and drive REALLY shined through in the second movie. I loved the warrior aspect of her, and how she ended up fighting for her life (literally) and for her family in one way. She learned to be a badass mother! She serves as inspiration to one of my own original characters for a story I’m trying to make, so that says something!

A popular theory about Jonathan is that he was a soldier in World War 1, based on the "I've had worse odds" interaction and his introduction of "Have you no respect for the dead?" "Of course I do, but sometimes I'd rather join them" Jonathan is a deeper character than you think. I'm also sorry if I spam this video with comments throughout my viewing, this is one of my favorite movies.

Dude my family still to this day says the "Wrong side of the river" line all the time. The Mummy is just a fun, adventure classic

James, iirc, it's explained by Ardeth that cats are guardians of the underworld and that is why Imhotep fears them. However, as his power grows and he becomes more whole, the cat would no longer work. That's why the cat isn't mentioned much after the hotel scene.

The movie which made me a Brendan Fraser fan alongside George of the Jungle back in the 90's, this one had some terrifying moments besides being an action adventure movie.

Yay! This is going to make all the Mummy stans so hyped. Have a great honeymoon, James and Chelsea!

Rick O'Connell will always be my favorite "Indiana Jones" type character.

This movie holds a special place in my heart. My parents got me the first and second movie on DVD for Easter and I played them on loop. I still watch it with my dad from time to time. ❤

The first two Mummy movies were a big part of my childhood and I can watch them over and over again and not get bored. Awesome podcast as always James and Chelsea and I hope you guys have a great honeymoon.

Im with James on this one. LITERALLY used to watch this movie daily as a kid. On VHS! Imotehp still sometimes appears in my nightmares. I think this movie holds up VERY well.

Oh adulting. No matter what is going on in your life, obligations and contracts don't care. But I'm glad you guys get to go on your honeymoon next month and this was such a treat!!

I can relate to watching this movie almost everyday of my childhood. This was one of the most influential movies for me growing up. I always wanted to be Brendan Fraser and now… we’ll now I still do! He’s the goat 👌🏻 great episode!

omg my siblings and i still quote this movie TO THIS DAY, especially LOOKS TO ME LIKE YOU'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE RIVERRRRR such a cozy fun movie, thanks for covering it

This movie is so nostalgic to me, it's so fun to listen to other people's thoughts on it P.s. I love the dog being passed off throughout the whole pod hahaha

I loved this movie growing still quote it till this day the part where Evelyn says " I'm a librarian" lol still cracks me up, the actors are awesome in it. It does put me in a better mood and a comfort to me growing up; watching your guys podcast inspired me to give The Mummy Returns a try.

I know this is an impromptu episode, but I’m so damn happy you covered The Mummy. One of my favorite movies that I can watch endlessly, and I love you guys covering it.

I do not understand why the podcast doesn't get more views. I find this equally entertaining, sometimes more than kill counts.

Evie's first line in Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is "I feel like a different person" so they were playing into it

I adore The Mummy and The Mummy Returns. They were my favorite movies growing up and I watched them none stop on VHS. I loved Evelyn and always wanted to be her.

James is correct with the pronunciation of Fraser. He has said in interviews that it rhymes with razer.

Just a note that I always love that this movie is set in the 1920’s when excavation and exploration was kinda on its last big boom. Not set in like 98 with a edgy protagonist and other 90’s 00’s cliches

Last year I went and saw this movie as a re-run in theaters, which was very exciting because I grew up watching it. I was so pumped having getting out of the theaters I went straight my work, told them I quit and then went and got my current job. This movie marks a beat in my life!

Based on what Chelsea says about the original Mummy, the Evie character from both that and this series IS a reincarnated Egyptian spirit, but that doesn't come into play until The Mummy Returns.

YESSS! I’m so happy you guys are covering this movie it’s a childhood favorite of mine. It has everything and somehow blends it together perfectly. No one talks about this movie enough and I’m glad it’s getting some much needed attention. Love you guys!

3 was ok for me though because it went full on action

The scene where Evie is on the ladder, the domino effect was one take. It's great. Of course, there was a stunt man who did the topple (and the far shots of her on the ladder). So, it was, "Action!", stunt man falls and slides down the ladder, camera rotates while the stuntman and Rachel switch out, Rachel rises as the camera goes back to the first position. They had one shot, and they got it. Always impressed by that. Edited to say: Brendan was pretty much hanged, yes. For the wide shots, they had a stuntman on a harness, but they did close-ups of Brendan on an apple box. The first take, there was light tension, and Stephen Sommers wasn't impressed by Brendan's fake choking. So, the stuntman in charge of the rope was told he needed to increase the tension. This forced Brendan onto the balls of his feet, and he wasn't doing well trying to stand on his tiptoes. So, the rope really did choke him out. If they had waited much longer to cut, who knows what could've happened.

I never noticed he died from running into the wall. lol. Everytime im sick with a cold or something i always watch this movie. So nostalgic.

This couldn’t have come at a better time! I randomly decided to watch the first movie the day before you guys posted this! Love this movie and love you guys. So thank you for that! I send my deepest condolences and hope in this difficult time you both are able to find some peace.

Fraser and Weisz have such great chemistry

I always like the trope of the hero still trying to help the bad guy like Rick trying to help Benny get out even after everything he’s done. Reminds me that part in Tarzan when he tries to save Clayton from hanging himself this is a good way to show a hero is legitimately a good person.

I JUST rewatched this at an Alamo Drafthouse (highly recommend if you have one near you). It was a rowdy showing which means you can yell, whistle, and quote all you like. We got amulet trinkets, a bumper sticker and temporary tattoos. A mummy wrapping contest before it started and a host to enlighten the audience members of all the barriers it broke and how important it was a trendsetter 2000s mainstream pop culture. Also the VFX went HARD for no reason on this random ass mummy movie. LOVE to see this covered on the podcast, so excited to hear y'all discuss it and me say "I KNOW RIGHT!" like I'm in the room with y'all. Bless.

This movie played nonstop in my house growing up. Love love love the commentary tracks!!

It's Brenden Fraser pronounced like Frazor. I love what you guys do and RIP to James dad that really sucks

This and Mummy Returns are definitely comfort films for me. I have watched both thousands of times. Putting them on to watch or as background noise or to sleep to. Evelyn is one of the greatest female characters. Especially when she is super badass in the second movie.

The Nubian in the 1932 film was played by Noble Johnson (Aka Mark Noble) who was a black american actor. Nubians are actually north-african so well casted for a movie in that time! 😊

This is amazing! My partner had difficult patients at work yesterday and this is her go-to feel-good movie. Thanks for being our go-to feel-good horror podcast! Such a wholesome show about murder and horrific death❤

I love this movie. I did when I was 10 and still do. And the second one. The third one was not good. And they didn't do anything to make Brendan Fraser look older. He and the guy who played adult Alex looked more like brothers than father and son. I'm glad to see it getting covered here. Yes, Brendan was really being hanged in that scene. On accident. But he passed out and had to be revived on set. I hope you guys are doing ok ❤️

The mummy has been my favorite movie since I was a tiny tiny kid like less than 4 lol. My mom told me stories about me and my sis just laughing watching this and constantly wanting to watch it. She said she had to hide the tape at one point cuz she was so sick of watching it 😂. Benny of course was a favorite as a kid but as I've grown older I enjoy every character just as much. Literally everyone in this movie is crush worthy ❤. I love that yall are covering this!

You guys talking about the Paranormal Pool Party reminded me of how much I looked forward to and appreciated those episodes. I had a shit job at the time that was steadily making me beyond depressed, and the summer you guys did those episodes was the summer before I ditched that nightmare later that September. The Pool Party kept me sane during a crap time so I just want to give my thanks 😊 Great episode as always!

The Chasing Amy quote "What's a Nubian?" killed me 🤣🤣🤣

Oh man I didn’t expect you guys to cover the 1999 Mummy film on the podcast but I am so happy that you did it. It has been a while since I last watched it but hopefully I will get to it someday soon. Such an amazing film to go back and watch again and again.

Hopefully we get the Survivor Episode restored. You all are real troopers over at Dead Meat, have a lovely vacay James and Chelsea!

42:44 - oh.... so you didn't pick up on the EXTRA subtle bit... the reason why Imhotep mistakes Evie for a resurrected version of his old flame is because... he took the eyes of the American who needed glasses! The mummy had bad eyesight for a reason! Edit: Also, the plague of frogs COULD have happened... If you look at the original Hebrew translation, the plague refers to ONE frog. So if you see one frog in the movie, that was it!

You know, I have to say that I absolutely love that you are a horror podcast company doing reviews, as husband and wife, with so much nostalgia.

The Mummy Returns has one of the best action scenes in any movie. The character of Ardeth Bey is fucking dope. He has an entrance that's equivalent to Errol Flynn's Robinhood. Just awesome.

Absolutely loved The Mummy. Brendan Fraser is total gold in this movie. So glad he's back acting.

I have been wanting to rewatch this movie since it's a childhood favorite, already thought about it since today is my day off. Then I saw this episode get uploaded so I knew it was a sign. Just finished rewatching it and it definitely holds up and it just brings back so many fond memories for me

Arnold Voslu was also in an episode of Charmed where he played a Demon that destroyed future Guardian Angels by convincing them that they’re hurting people they love and to commit suicide Honestly one of the most truly evil beings on the show

ah man the stupidly large grin on my face when i heard “HEY O’CONNELL! LOOKS LIKE I GOT ALL THE HORSES”

I'm so happy y'all covered this movie. The Mummy is in my top 5 favorite movies and Brendan Fraser is one of my favorite actors.

I'm a 1992 so baby Brendan Fraser was my Harrison Ford lol the 1999 Mummy has to be my favorite epic adventure movie ever. Soooo many quotable lines! I think Chelsea is right! 1999 Fraser would have made an incredible Starlord! His charisma was off the charts

Really loved that movies when I was like... Ten years old? Maybe a bit younger? I had a VHS of it and remember reviewing it like every week. Loved the gunslinging scene at the beginning and was really digging Egyptian aestetics! Nowdays I play Dungeon and Dragons as a level 6 Necromancer and my spellbook is made in image of the Book of the Dead - I even chiseled the key from wood! You guys really took down the memory lane, thank you for you work!

this episode is so much fun talking. i love chelsea's 'it's a universal picture' bit 😂

Screaming you actually reviewed this!! One of my favorite movies ever since I was a kid!! Extremely excited for the zoran kill counts on collection and the collector cuz i also rewatch those like the mummy at least once a year!! Ugh love dead meat so much

Yes this is a movie I loved as a kid(and still do) so I am biased, but this is one of my favorite movie review podcasts in a while. I think it's just chock full of stuff to talk about and interesting, fun things everyone in the room is excited about. Love it! Thanks sponsors for inadvertently bringing us this one!

Honestly, even though some elements and characters are a little dated, _The Mummy (1999)_ is one of those films I'd comfortably call a "perfect movie." It sets out to be a fun story that mixes action, horror and humor, and it pretty excels on all fronts. The pacing is perfect. The tone is just right. The performances are wonderful. And it's almost endlessly rewatchable. I saw it in theaters when I was eleven years old and I've owned it in every medium since, from VHS to 4K-UHD. And I've probably seen it 50 times over the last 24 years. I know his work splits people, but I always really loved Stephen Sommers' films in general. _Mummy, Mummy Returns, Deep Rising, Van Helsing, Jungle Book, Odd Thomas..._ he one of the few directors who seemed to love to just make consistently fun movies, and even his weaker films usually had great visuals and good action. His movies felt like you were watching a cute kid playing with action figures and making up silly stories to go along with the action. Shame he hasn't done anything in about 10 years.

Very fun episode! I think you both will be thrilled and surprised to find out how much of this movie is actually practical and miniatures. Corridor has a FANTASTIC video with the ILM art director who did The Mummy, and he shares a treasure trove of behind-the-scenes stuff. For instance, Brendan Frasier is shadow fighting the zombie-mummy-enemies with the sword. There were no stand-ins and he was holding a sword 😮

I just wanted to say one thing outside of loved this overall. The warden character is actually played by a comedian who is very well known for playing up how he is in this movie. He even had his own variety show for a while where he'd do things like pause the show to do a "belly dance", and *really* play up the accent. So if anything, you can blame the actor for that persona more than the movie.

Well this is a coincidence. I was just thinking about this movie last night. Tragically it's no longer available on Netflix in Canada, so I wasn't able to watch it. But a podcast episode about it is the next best thing! This has been one of my favorite movies since I was a kid it's great to see you guys cover it.

Man, I’ve been in love with this movie since my Ancient Egypt phase in middle school. At the time I considered it my first horror movie, and even though I see it more as a horror-themed adventure now it still holds a special place in my heart 😊

So glad to see you guys cover this movie on the podcast! I really hope you cover the other ones as well (or at least the second one)
