Let's Discuss Our First Time: The Mummy (1999)

About this episode

Spencer and guest Theresa discuss the appeal and elements of the 1999 remake of The Mummy.

An awakening for many people (including Imhotep in this movie), it was about time guest Theresa was introduced to one of the best (and sexiest) remakes of all time. Her and host Spencer talk about what makes this take on the adventure movie great, including Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz's chemistry, the CG that looks pretty great, and again, just how hot everyone is in this movie.
