- 0:39have Andy and Jeff here with me. Greetings, and we are doing The
- 0:50Mummy in June. We were gonna do it for Mummay, but you know,
- 0:55life gets in the way. It happens. Yeah, so we're doing
- 0:59it now. So what do y'all? How do you did you? How
- 1:04many times have you watched this? I guess I would say so this is
- 1:08probably the second or third time I ever watched it. Every time I think
- 1:11about this movie, I think about the very first time I ever got high.
- 1:17My uncles took me and gave to the movie theater and they hot boxed
- 1:21the car and I was like in fourth or fifth grades. I didn't really
- 1:23know what that meant at the time, but I remember being extremely thirsty,
- 1:26like way too thirsty during the theater. And now that I'm an adult,
- 1:30I'm like, horrible, horrible parents, are just horrible adults to have that
- 1:34happen. And uh so every time I think of the Mummy, I think
- 1:37of my very first time getting high and wanting to drink soda. Wait,
- 1:40how old were you? Fourth grade? Maybe fifth? Oh that's too young,
- 1:44way too fucking young. Yeah, And I don't know if they knew
- 1:47like that hot boxing would get us high, but I'm assuming they did because
- 1:49how old were they? One was like twenty three at the time, the
- 1:53one was probably twenty eight or twenty nine on the day time. And then
- 1:56my yeah, and then my cousin was there too, who was seventeen or
- 1:57eighteen, and so gaber in the back with my cousin and they were just
- 2:00passing the joint around and uh yeah, yeah, they should have known better.
- 2:05Yeah. I think they've either did it on purpose or they didn't know.
- 2:07But either way, it's still fucking shitty adulting, you know. But
- 2:10yeah, I remember first time ever got high was at the movie. Yeah.
- 2:14I don't endorse like kids smoking pot or anything like that, or second
- 2:16hand pot. But with that said, I do endorse second hand pot smoking
- 2:23because of the economy and like inflation and stuff like that, like best get
- 2:28what you get, you know, Yeah, for sure, and it's probably
- 2:30somehow better for the environment. Yeah, if you're not doing the light or
- 2:34twice and so you can just do it once, you know. Do you
- 2:37remember the movie? No, when I rewatched it for this, I forgot
- 2:40about I would say ninety percent of the movie. And I had a blast
- 2:45watching this tree. Yeah. I was gonna ask if it like tripped you
- 2:47out being high, because some of the scenes are a little bit like especially
- 2:52like the wall of sand thing, I would have been like, oh no,
- 2:55this is too much. It could have been. But when you're like
- 2:59when I when I was that age, like I was trying to be cool
- 3:00and like being tough, you know, So did you know I probably like
- 3:05at that age, I was like really negross things for some reason, and
- 3:07I was like any spicy foods to try to be cool. So I don't
- 3:10know, so I was probably just even more jazzed for this. Yeah,
- 3:15Jeff, how about you? How any times? I don't even know how
- 3:19many times? I feel like this was one of like a staple movie of
- 3:23the nineties, like late nineties, early two thousands time, and I feel
- 3:27like I watched over and over and over again. Because when this movie came
- 3:30out on DVD or VH just one or the other. Uh, that was
- 3:35back when we didn't have a fuck ton of movies to watch. So I'm
- 3:38sure we were like, this is so cool because it's a good adventure movie
- 3:42and it was pretty you know early on in that when they really were nailing
- 3:47that CGI shit. Yeah so uh so, No, it was really good
- 3:53and Brendan Fraser, oh yeah, yeah, very attractive, very cool,
- 3:59charismatic, what a good like it was not a superhero, but just like
- 4:02I don't know a word I'm looking for, just like a really great Hollywood
- 4:05blockbuster lead role, like lead, it's great, wonderful. Yeah, Like
- 4:10he wasn't my sexual awakening because that was in third grade with my student teacher
- 4:15of the class because I would play stupid, so I would uh like stupid
- 4:18or so I would have to stay in at recess and hang out with him.
- 4:21Mister Smith was his name. He was only he was in college.
- 4:24I was in third grade, so I was like, oh, maybe we
- 4:26could work it out a few years. Yeah whatever, but uh yeah,
- 4:30so but Brendan Fraser whole but in this movie, they don't under apatobots later,
- 4:33but like they don't have a fear of getting shot or stabbed or anything
- 4:39like. It just it's constantly really close, but they just are they get
- 4:43over it really quick. Yeah, like at what point are you just like
- 4:46you know, I'm out, I'm good. You know do you do you
- 4:47think? Guys, I'm going to leave. I don't want this anymore,
- 4:51Like I don't like to just sexual watch I do it. Everybody in this
- 4:55movie is fucking hot, like the horse riding guy, the Mummy guy,
- 5:00the Mummy's wife got girl, the rachel why's can we talk about her?
- 5:03She's so hot? And then like even like yeah, the horse guy,
- 5:09yeah, even like the bad Americans are all attractive, like yeah, everybody
- 5:12in this movie we're serving, even horses. Yes, yeah, well they
- 5:17weren't afraid of being shot because like there's no blood. This was like PG.
- 5:21Thirteen, So they're all like the like the silly little will punch him
- 5:26and all of a sudden he falls over and that's the end, like there's
- 5:30no real death. It's all very cheesy, right yeah, all right,
- 5:34great? Why why did you decide this movie? Was it just because how
- 5:39great Mummy would have been? Or is this like hold some kind of like
- 5:42specialness to you. I fucking love this movie, and then watching it and
- 5:46taking notes, I'm like, there are so many plot holes, there's so
- 5:48much like awful like misogyny and racism, and I'm just like, I don't
- 5:57know why I like this movie. I guess because, yeah, just got
- 6:00a lot of nostalgia for me. And I think that's what everybody when I've
- 6:03told multiple people like, oh, you know, we're recording The Mummy and
- 6:05everything, and every single person goes, oh, great movie. So I
- 6:09think it's just one of the movies that when we were kids it was good,
- 6:11and then people just remember it being good. And even with all like
- 6:15the misogyny and the racism and the white savior complex, it was still a
- 6:18really fun, great movie. I loved it. Yeah, yeah, certainly
- 6:21some plot holes, but yeah, yeah, all right, should we do
- 6:27it? Oh? Sorry, I was gonna say really quick. The other
- 6:30day I saw at work somebody had a bumper sticker that said the honk if
- 6:35you'd rather be watching the nineteen ninety nine cinematic masterpiece of the Mummy. Sorry,
- 6:40And Brandon Fraser and Rachel White was like, no joke, that's a
- 6:44bumper sticker. That's right, specifically, Yeah, yeah, it's so specific.
- 6:50Oh oh, all right, so it's playing on Peacock right now.
- 6:57I ended up renting it because Peacock kept cracking. If you like pause it
- 7:00too much, learn that anyway. Okay, So we open on a terrible
- 7:06cgi set of ancient Egypt, which is supposed to be Thebes, the City
- 7:12of the Living. I do really love that they are like dogs barking.
- 7:15I'm just like, oh, look at them, even back then. Love
- 7:18dogs. We meet Pharaoh SETI the First and his high priest Immo tab Which,
- 7:25who's played by Arnold Voslou And I wanted to just mention the ethnicity of
- 7:31all of these people, because none of them belong in this movie. So
- 7:39Arnold Vaslu is an Africaner from South Africa, so mostly Dutch. So Immotep
- 7:46is the keeper of the Dead. He's in love with an Oxyena Moon,
- 7:49who's played by Patricia Velasquez who's Venezuelan. An Oxyda Moon is Pharaoh's mistress and
- 7:57no other man is allowed to touch her. They might want to be a
- 8:00little bit more careful about not messing up body paint if they're gonna like because
- 8:05if no man's allowed to touch her, and then he just like rubs her
- 8:09and they're like, no, no restraint. So NOx in the Moon and
- 8:15immatep stab and kill the pharaoh because he sees them. Emmotep escapes with his
- 8:22priest a Oxuna Moon stabs herself, and Imotep steals her body and takes her
- 8:26to Haminopdra where he's gonna resurrect her with the Book of the Dead, but
- 8:31he's intercepted by Pharaoh's bodyguards before the ritual can be completed, and no Sunamun
- 8:37soul had come back from the dead. Pharaoh's bodyguards had followed and stopped him
- 8:43before the ritual could be completed, priests will condemned to be mummified a lot.
- 9:05I was confused though, because you'd think like that the pharaoh would want
- 9:09her to be resurrected and then he would still have her and then just kill
- 9:13Emma. Yeah, I didn't think about that. Yeah, unless maybe he
- 9:16was so mad at her that he wanted her dead still. But yeah,
- 9:20that's a really if he loved her so much, Yeah, why wouldn't you
- 9:24want her back? Well, I didn't think about that, but yeah,
- 9:26yeah, he would be like an eligible bachelor at that point. That's true.
- 9:30That's true. Yeah, growing up like anything, Egypt is like it
- 9:35was super fascinating to me. It's one of them. It's so interesting.
- 9:37I love it. And uh so anybody who's really into Egypt get Assassin's Creed
- 9:41Odyssey. You can play in easy mode to where you can do the story,
- 9:46but they have like a school mode to where you can just go and
- 9:48check out all the pyramids, check out the towns, and they explained it
- 9:52to you while you just walk around. Just that alone is worth it.
- 9:56On the internet, you can see the pyramids. There's like within sight pizza
- 10:05hut. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, It's it's like a
- 10:07town, you know what I mean, Like it's like, yeah, it's
- 10:09like it loves McDonald's and ship there, which is super weird when you think
- 10:11about it. But yeah, So Imite's priests are mummified alive and Immteb is
- 10:18condemned to the harm dye. So they cut out his tongue, wrap his
- 10:22body and then put scarves in the sarcophagus. He was condemned to endure the
- 10:26home dye, the worst of all ancient urses one so horrible it had never
- 10:31before in the stone. It was to remain sealed inside his sarcophagus, the
- 10:43undead for all the eternity. The Magi would never allow him to be released,
- 10:50for he would the eyes of walking disease, a plague upon mankind,
- 10:54an unholy flesh eater with the strength of the ages, power over the sands,
- 10:58and the glory of invincibility. I was like, well, that sounds
- 11:05like a gift, Like to me, that doesn't sound like a punishment.
- 11:09Yeah, I wrote that of my notes on Like, so what was his
- 11:11punishment? Eternal life where he could just bring his wife back to yeah,
- 11:15like or his girlfriend. I don't know what were they trying? They should
- 11:16just stab him? Yeah? Yeah, Yeah, was real confused. So
- 11:22we fast forward to nineteen twenty three and there's a fight between the French and
- 11:26the British and then the Egyptians over Hamanatra while the Magi led by Artith.
- 11:33He's the hot horse guy played by Oded Fair whose Israeli he looks on.
- 11:39We meet O'Connell, played of course by Brendan Fraser, and Benny played by
- 11:43Kevin J. O'Connor, who is quickly characterized as a coward. You just
- 11:50got promoted. If you're with me on this one, right, your strength
- 12:03gives me strength. Wait, by, they don't really ever explain what war
- 12:16conflict. This is not sure why war it is happening. But O'Connell has
- 12:22chased the statue of Anubis, I believe, where the pursuers are struck by
- 12:26fear and flea and the statue whispers you die. All right, do we
- 12:33feel like this is a good setup? Yeah? No, I'm one hundred
- 12:37percent interested because you know that them tep and all that stuff is gonna come
- 12:43back later. So like, okay, I'm already kind of interested in this
- 12:46little bit of information. I'm excited to see what Brandon. Right when Brandon
- 12:50Fraser pops on screen too, you're just like, oh, that's a fucking
- 12:52star right there, you know. So yeah, and I can't wait to
- 12:54see these two stories like intertwined. When I walk on sand, it's a
- 12:58struggle. These guys are like running on sand. Yeah, yeah, no,
- 13:03that's I wonder if like sand in Egypt is different than sand at the
- 13:07beach. That might be a really dumb question. I don't know. Maybe,
- 13:11well, sand from the beach comes from the ocean. Right, like
- 13:15is that why it's created? You know, I know a lot about some
- 13:16stuff I know very little about. I don't have to and sand is one
- 13:20of the things I know very little about. Sand is small? How deep
- 13:24does it go? So it's not sand anymore? That's another question. Yeah.
- 13:28No, I thought it's a good, good start. That guy who
- 13:31the hot horse guy, super good narrator. I think, like fucking sexy.
- 13:37Yeah. And the but the body pink thing that I can't get past
- 13:41because like what if you have to itch yourself? Ooh true? Yeah,
- 13:46I guess you didn't even say like, oh no, sorry, just my
- 13:48arm is itchy, or I ran in like you know, I put like
- 13:52I ran into the door fucking or something, and that would I'm trying to
- 13:56say anything. Then that would have like ruined the movie. That's true,
- 14:00because then he would have been like, Okay, I'm gonna go grab a
- 14:01beer. Yeah. Actually, and I do know this that back in the
- 14:07day, they drank beer more often than the water because you could keep it
- 14:09sterile longer, So even kids would drink beer in Egypt. Oh geez,
- 14:13So you're that's a very accurate thing, that to go drink some beer and
- 14:16go watch Mad About You because that was still on. I think that you
- 14:22watch Bad About You. My mom did, so I watched a few episodes
- 14:28and Helen Hunt is not is not a comedic genius. Yeah, I don't
- 14:33know. Was it supposed to be a comedy. Yeah, I can't remember.
- 14:35I know, right, that's that's not good. Okay, But but
- 14:37that's that's where I'm at with The Mummy You Okay. But when I did
- 14:43see Brandon Fraser, like once Benny runs off, I was like, oh,
- 14:48thank god, we have another White Savior movie, just because I was
- 14:50trying to we don't have enough, you know, I was just thinking,
- 14:54like the ones that we do have, I don't know, Hardball, The
- 14:56blind Side, The Soloist, Avatar, Radio, Grand Tarino, The Great
- 15:01Wall, Dangerous Minds, The Help, Finding Forrester, or The Last Samurai
- 15:03Dances with Wolves of Principal. But we need more. And that was just
- 15:07to name a few. We need as many as we can possibly get.
- 15:11But uh, I still fucking love this movie. I don't care there's too
- 15:15many White Saver movies. Well that's what like. Later on, I'm like,
- 15:18it's weird that we kind of think that the Americans are bad because they're
- 15:20just doing it for money. But then, like Brendan Fraser, even though
- 15:24they're doing it for like educational purposes, it's still bad like how they're doing
- 15:28it. So it's like, it's weird that they have two antagonists in a
- 15:33way, but you root for one of them. No, it's weird.
- 15:37Yeah. I think people like who spent that much time and energy building those
- 15:41pyramids and tombs and all that intricate stuff, they probably don't want people like
- 15:46excavating it, right, like thousands of years from now, Like when I
- 15:50die, if I go in the ground, I don't know if I really
- 15:52want people digging me up later. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Well
- 15:56then two for a while they were like, uh, grounding egypt Is down
- 16:00to snort him because they thought would like give you special powers and stuff.
- 16:03So that's weird. Oh maybe that's where I heard it too. Yeah,
- 16:11great able nostalgia where you can leave us a five star review on Apple Podcasts
- 16:18or Spotify. Yeah. Okay, So now we're at Cairo at the Museum
- 16:23of Antiquities. EV, who's played by Rachel Weiss, who's Hungarian, Jewish
- 16:29and Italian, is cataloging books and causes the destruction of the entire library,
- 16:33whose supervisor threatens to fire her, but renegs because nepotism frogs focus anything but
- 16:52you Compared to you, the other plagues were a joy. I'm so very
- 16:56sorry. It was an accident, my girl. When Ramsey has destroyed Syria,
- 17:02that was an accident. You are a catastrophe. Look at my library.
- 17:07Why do I put up with you? Well, You've put up with
- 17:11me because because I can. I can read and write ancient Egyptian, and
- 17:17I can I can decipher hieroglyphics and her attic, And well, I am
- 17:22the only person within a thousand miles who knows how to properly code and catalog
- 17:26this library. That's why I put up with you. Because your father and
- 17:30mother were our finest patrons. That's why I'll rest their souls. He orders
- 17:34her to clean up the mess. She hears a noise and goes to investigate.
- 17:38Her brother. Jonathan played by John Hannah, who's Scottish, pulls a
- 17:42prank on her with a mummy. It's weird. She explains that Bembridge,
- 17:48Yeah, has rejected her application again, which is a school. I think
- 17:53he has a surprise for her. It's like a box key apparatus thing that
- 17:59has a map to Homonatra in it. She and Jonathan attempt to convince the
- 18:03professor that they should set out to find it. The professor seemingly accidentally lights
- 18:07it on fire and destroys the part with the lost city, and Jonathan takes
- 18:11ev to the prison where O'Connell, whom he stole the box from, is
- 18:15being held to see if they can help if he can help them locate Homanatra.
- 18:21He's dragged away to be hanged, and this is just a weird scene.
- 18:25Evie Barti barters with the warden who's played by Omi Jalali who's Iranian,
- 18:32who refuses to let him go. So we just like literally have a scene
- 18:37of a man like being strangled to death of just like hanging. It's weird.
- 18:41So he's hanging, he doesn't die, They argue. While he's being
- 18:45strangled to death. The warden makes a deal that with Evi that he'll get
- 18:48twenty five percent of the spoils from Hominoptra. He know's an ocasion to Hamonoptra.
- 18:56You lie, I would never are you telling me this? Philm godless
- 19:00sort of a pig. Girl knows what to find the City of the Dirt.
- 19:03Yes, truly, yes, and if you came him down, we
- 19:06will give you thirty twenty five deal. Any thoughts on Evie's character. I
- 19:26love it. I love the wacky librarian character. It's like a trope that's
- 19:30been used a lot, like, oh wow, she's really good looking,
- 19:33but she's really nerdy about something. But I love it. I think she
- 19:34killed it. I love her boss because like every reference he made was somehow
- 19:38he'd like in Egyptian culture or just something with history. I'm like, like,
- 19:42like we were talking about the nine to two in an episode with the
- 19:45hit Man, Like if that's your job, that's fine, but you have
- 19:48to do something else. And this guy only cares about Egypt and all this
- 19:52shit. It's like you're clumsier than raw or whatever. I know. But
- 19:56when Brendan Fraser was hung on this, that's where a lot of the issues
- 20:00started with him. He almost died. I was listened to him when he
- 20:03was on the Dana Carvey, David Cross, David Spade podcast. He talks
- 20:07about how he was there too long, it wasn't right, and yeah,
- 20:10he almost died. He got choked out. Oh, Jana Carvey and David
- 20:14Spade. They have a podcast. It's pretty good. It's called Fly on
- 20:17the Wall, And if you listen to Ben Stiller episode, at the end,
- 20:21they go, oh, we have a question from Andrew Lipsy. Ah,
- 20:26so basically I'm featured on that too. Oh my god, Yeah,
- 20:27I need to listen to that. Yeah, I I didn't see if I
- 20:32understand this. So she creates a fuckstorm of a mess in that library and
- 20:37messes up everything, and then goes to her boss and is like, will
- 20:41you finance this wild expedition for me? Like, like, even though like
- 20:48he's the boss, is a little suspicious. She that's if I fucked up
- 20:52at work, I wouldn't be like, Oh, by the way, can
- 20:55I have a week? Yeah? That's like you don't even think you have
- 21:00any rights yet. Yeah, that's a great boss though, Like he's great
- 21:03for his role. That that dude's face is exactly what I would picture.
- 21:07It's like, if I was reading the Screenplight'd be like, Oh, get
- 21:08that guy from a Big Daddy or whatever. He's from Big Daddy. Maybe
- 21:12is that Adam? When you haven't bragged about being on Data Carvey show,
- 21:18No, I think I did say something about it they didn't have like me
- 21:22on a feature. It's not like I was like, hey, first we
- 21:25have Bet Stiller, then we have this guy and like no, but like
- 21:29if I see a like today, my big thing was a ferret with a
- 21:33hat on that. I would rather say that than listen to me. I'm
- 21:37not I mean that other than my question. You know, but what was
- 21:41your question? What's the very first concert you guys ever went to and what's
- 21:44the one concert you wish you could see? Oh okay, that's a good
- 21:47question. Either the answer seprick. No, I was hoping, but neither
- 21:52one. Yeah. I like Mike Myers. Okay, he's not one of
- 21:56those two, know I thought, Uh no, I Rachel looks from like
- 22:00she's from the twenties. Yeah for sure. Yeah, she looks like she's
- 22:03in a time that she's a time machine. Yeah, so this might be
- 22:07right around when I pause the movie for something, I can't maybe write a
- 22:11note or something. And I looked down and I was like, thirty minutes
- 22:15went by, It felt like maybe seven. Like I am so entertained and
- 22:18I'm so into this movie that it's great. It's just it was fast,
- 22:22like it's wonderful, It's like, this is a really good fucking movie.
- 22:25I'm really excited. So yeah, all right, So we head out to
- 22:29Hamanoptra with the Majai on their tail. On the ship is the warden,
- 22:33a band of Americans Benny, doctor Chamberlain, and an Egyptologist Evian Jonathan and
- 22:40O'Connell. O'Connell interrupts Evie while she's reading. She's searching for the Book of
- 22:44aman Rah, and O'Connell stumbles on Benny, who explains that he's leading the
- 22:48Americans to Haminapdra for money. You never believed in Hamanoptro. Come, why
- 22:55are you going beg this is the other girl? She said, my neck,
- 23:06you always did have more bowls and brains. O'Connell casually throws him overboard
- 23:21to kill him and notices wet footprints on the deck and we cut the EV's
- 23:26quarters. She can't focus on her reading because, oh my god, she
- 23:29keeps thinking about the kiss with O'Connell when he was in prison, which was
- 23:32like an awful kiss by the way, I was like, I would not
- 23:36be like thinking about that, well, would you say, like, if
- 23:40it's a bad kiss with something who's really attractive, that does that like Teeter
- 23:45the scale, Brendon fred is pretty good looking. Yeah, I don't know.
- 23:51I don't know if it's a really bad kiss. I'm just like,
- 23:52it doesn't matter how hot you are. I don't want to kiss you again
- 23:57if you suck. So she's interrupted by you that sounded so dirty I was
- 24:03looking at She's interrupted by one of the Magi who's searching for the map and
- 24:11key. O'Connell saves Evy, but the Magi are able to take the key.
- 24:15A shootout in the boat between the Majai and the passengers happens. The
- 24:19Americans are shown as having this Wild West shootout, and Jonathan remarks Americans but
- 24:25is saved by their shots, which I think is funny because then he's like,
- 24:29yeah, Americans. Apparently they're all very close to shore, because everyone
- 24:33escapes to shore, Like are they on the nile? I'm really confused,
- 24:37And all I can think of when I'm watching this is like all the horses
- 24:41and camels that died. It was really yeah, and then we have some
- 24:45casual racism. One of the Americans says that this is a messed up country.
- 24:51O'Connell and the team having lost all their belongings and animals visit a local
- 24:56town to trade and Evie gets a glow up. They out to the desert
- 25:00on some adorable camels. Jonathan makes a racist remark, I think that should
- 25:06be a drinking game. By the way, like anytime anyone makes some racist
- 25:11makes a micro or macroaggression, you drink. Yeah. The majia watching and
- 25:15remark on O'Connell's fortitude. Benny and O'Connell's teams reach the site where they will
- 25:21be shown the way to Hamanopscha. They have a five hundred dollars bet on
- 25:25who will reach the city first, and of course even O'Connell gets there first.
- 25:30How are we doing, patience, my good veracu patience, remember our
- 25:33bet O'Connell first one to the city five hundred cash bucks, one hundred of
- 25:38them bucks as years if you help us win that bet, Oh, my
- 25:41pleasure. Hey O'Connell, nice camel. Both teams set up camp. O'Connell's
- 25:48team decided to enter the city under Anubis, where allegedly the Book of amen
- 25:52ra is. Doctor Chamberlain from a farm makes a misogynistic comment about the camp
- 25:57being led with women led by women and what a woman know. As they
- 26:03descend into the cave, the warden remarks about hating bugs, but you know,
- 26:07we'll come back into play later. They find the legs of Anubis and
- 26:12begin looking for the secret compartment. When they run into the other team and
- 26:17a showdown occurs. Ev spots like this thing underground, and she's like,
- 26:23well, let's just leave them. It's fine, It's fine. So the
- 26:30warden finds the blue golden scarves and takes them. Cut to Chamberlain and the
- 26:34Americans opening a compartment on Anubis. The Americans are prepared to open it,
- 26:38but Chamberlain warns the diggers to warns that the digger should open it. So
- 26:44like he's like, eh, they're expendable. So they do, and they're
- 26:48quickly dispatched by acidic salt, which I was like, I didn't know that
- 26:55was the thing. I still don't know if that's a thing. Another quick
- 26:59cut to Ev and O'Connell underneath the statue. They plan to wait until the
- 27:03Americans are asleep to dig up through the floor and get the book. While
- 27:07they wait, Jonathan is playing golf. I think uh. He swings his
- 27:14club and hits some trap release and a sarcophagus falls from overhead. Let me
- 27:18get this straight. They ripped out your guts and they stuffed them in jars,
- 27:22and then they take out your heart as well. Oh and you know
- 27:25how they took out your brains either. I don't think we need to know
- 27:26this. They take a shot red hot poker, stick it up your nose,
- 27:30scramble things about of it, and then rip it all out through your
- 27:33nostrils. That's hurt. It's cool mummification. You'll be dead when they do
- 27:37this. For the record, If I don't make it out of here,
- 27:40don't put me down for mummification. Light Why, oh my god, it's
- 27:52a it's sarcophagus. Cut back to the warden. One of the scarbs falls
- 27:59on the sand and then comes alive, quickly burrowing into his skin. Cut
- 28:03back to Evie. The inscription on the sarcophagus reads the one who shall not
- 28:07be named, which, of course, then they're gonna read it out loud.
- 28:12They need a key to open it, and today they happen to have
- 28:15one. They lay it on the sarcophagus, but do not turn it.
- 28:18When they are interrupted by the warden, Jonathan grabs the key from the sarcophagus,
- 28:22and they follow the warden out to watch him cartoonishly hit his head and
- 28:26die. I was just like, wow, that is some cheese. It
- 28:30was great. As they sit around the fire that night, the Magi attack
- 28:33in an attempt to scare everyone off. Because this is a PG thirteen movie,
- 28:38we get no blood. The Magi tell the encampment that they have one
- 28:42day to leave or die. Evie gets drunk and explains that her mother is
- 28:48Egyptian, which is hardly believable. What are you doing here? Ooh?
- 28:56So I may not be an explorer or an adventurer, or a treasure sec
- 29:03or a gun fighter, mister O'Connell, but I am proud of what I
- 29:11am and what is that I have? My librarian, we find it find
- 29:22out O'Connell's name is Rick. The next morning, the American crew finds Immtep's
- 29:27organ chest, which has a curse on it, but being Americans, they
- 29:33open it anyway, and Jonathan finally opened immtep sarcophagus and finds him to be
- 29:40a bit juicy. The Americans find the Book of the Dead, and while
- 29:45everyone asleep is asleep, Evie steals the Book of the Dead and reads it
- 29:48aloud, waking imp Now they're fucked, and I was wondering, how is
- 29:53this movie only halfway over? Like I feel like a lot happened, and
- 29:59the way they cut it to like it's going pretty quick. So even though
- 30:02like a lot's going on, it's still super entertaining. And I don't feel
- 30:04like they're force feeding any information because like, I'll just go back to a
- 30:08Lord of the Rings. I watched all three movies twice. I fucking don't
- 30:11know who anybody is. I don't know what they're I know they were trying
- 30:15to get a ring. I know that. I don't know why. I
- 30:15don't know what the better, I don't know. I have no idea,
- 30:18but this I knew I could. I could easily follow this movie. Yeah.
- 30:22When those when they when like the main characters and the horse guys come
- 30:26and they fight and they go, okay, you have one day. You
- 30:30just killed like twenty of our guys, but like they don't give a fuck.
- 30:33They're like, a, whatever, you just killed a bunch of my
- 30:34friends, like and then they I don't know, it's weird. Yeah,
- 30:38I just don't understand Jonathan, he's the comic relief. Yeah, but he
- 30:42really shouldn't be there because he's only there to like cause make things a lot
- 30:48more difficult. Yeah. Yeah, but I guess he's like the wild card
- 30:52and like if he's there to like kind of look after his sister because she's
- 30:55going with like people that she doesn't know to the desert. But like,
- 31:00I'm not a murderer, but if I I would, I would murder drama
- 31:03than if I was a murderer. Yeah, Like he'd be easy to murder.
- 31:07I feel, yeah, for sure, all of them. And then
- 31:10I always think watching these movies and like scary movies, I'm like, okay,
- 31:12would I survive? But like when are they pooping or peeing in this
- 31:18movie? Like that's what I want to know. I know that would that
- 31:19would take away from the movie, like all the ship's going down and all
- 31:25of a sudden, like EV's over there, like's like diarrhea. Well,
- 31:27I'm like, like, here's the tip. If you ever have to pee
- 31:30on the beach, you just you just lay down on your stomach, right,
- 31:34and then you just dig a little hole and then you just be in
- 31:38the hole and then when you get up, you just kick the sand over
- 31:41it. I think, but you have to lay down flat, you have
- 31:44to dig a hole, put your wiener in it, and then pee in
- 31:47it. See, And then if you're just flat, nobody would even know
- 31:49what you're doing. I would know that's just have you done that? No,
- 31:56I heard it on a podcast. And then I do like when Brena
- 32:00Fraser is on the boat just cleaning his guns. What a weird time to
- 32:04clean your guns and place to do it, Like I would just what if
- 32:07you shot one by accident? You know? Yeah, he pointed directly at
- 32:10Evy and that's just like, uh, what are you doing? Where are
- 32:15these very dangerous? Yeah? I agree with Ria like about the animals that
- 32:20die in this movie, like that's so sad and it's so gross too.
- 32:23Well, in nineteen ninety six, that's when Braveheart was being made, and
- 32:27they use a mechanical dinosaur or their horses were harmed during the making of that
- 32:34one, so I would assume by nineteen ninety nine they probably had some.
- 32:37I don't know. I have no idea some may have got hurt, but
- 32:39I feel like maybe I don't know if any actually died in I don't know.
- 32:44What seems to be happening is this is the kind of sidebar is animals
- 32:47are not used as often. They're kind of getting retired from movies, but
- 32:52they're still a live so they're getting sold to like millionaires or like rich fucks.
- 32:54But then the rich fucks are like renting them out for like parties and
- 32:59whatever. They're almost game is treated more in retirement quote unquote than when they
- 33:02were acting against their right. But I think that with the I know back
- 33:07then they couldn't do it, but now they shouldn't use horses or camels or
- 33:10they should use cgi that shit, right, I think they do should be
- 33:15legal to own a horse in general. Where do they go, Well,
- 33:21I don't know. I don't know where they live. And that's how I
- 33:27feel about with Ai. And this is I'm so sorry, Riya. This
- 33:30is my AI rant really quick with Ai that we should get rid of using
- 33:35real animals and movies. And I think that we should get rid of using
- 33:37kids in movies, sure, because I don't think that there's so many like
- 33:42what kid is like. I'm sure they think it's fun, but it's like
- 33:45a lot of work their parents are using like using them for profit for the
- 33:50probably ninety percent or just awful parents. And then you remember this is not
- 33:53supposed to be a joke. Okay, but you remember that movie that came
- 33:55out last year that was like a Q and on E child trafficking movie about
- 34:01child Do you remember that? It was like Songs of the Freedom or something
- 34:06like that. Anyway, it was like super white, right wing movie about
- 34:08child sex trafficking, which is super hard conversation. But I just got me
- 34:13thinking, like, there's kids in that movie that are playing They can cut
- 34:17this out, but are are playing traffic children? What's the audition process?
- 34:22Sure, like that's fucked up. Use ai children or don't use child don't
- 34:27make movies with children in right? But one, two, three, four?
- 34:30Yeah? A podcast? What's a cold bag? Podcasts? In a
- 34:37podcast? It's a cold bad Camels can run up to forty miles per hours.
- 34:44Did you know? Camels are known to live up to fifty years five
- 34:46zero camels blew my mind, can live without water for over six months.
- 34:53And check this one out. The most expensive camel was sold for fifty three
- 34:58million dollars. What's a coldback podcast? And a podcast? What's a cold
- 35:07bag? A camel? Yeah? For fifty three Why? I don't know,
- 35:29you don't have any like details on who it was sold to or Andy
- 35:34Fax doesn't go deep into the details. He just gets you what you need
- 35:36to go and he gets out. Yeah. Have you heard the Colony at
- 35:39Disneyland thing? They're gonna I read it off of like a really not credible
- 35:46website, but uh, they're gonna do like Mickey's colony, like for the
- 35:52like you can get a colon at Disneyland, Yeah, or like anyways,
- 35:58but yeah, apparently it's supposing Curry people getkolonoscopes, which is good. Yeah,
- 36:01I think it's good. Any any other I do have my notes that
- 36:07Brenda Fraser makes a really good action star. He has the charisma and good
- 36:09looks to be perfect. Yeah, he's beautiful. Yeah. I feel really
- 36:14bad for him. They really did him dirty in Hollywood. So this I
- 36:19have like a little thing that I'm stealing from another podcast, but I kind
- 36:22of want to know. Like at this point, so you read, you
- 36:25open the Book of the Dead, you read aloud waking up em TEP.
- 36:30Now, what would you do if you were any one of these characters?
- 36:36Pick a character. What would you do if I if I if I didn't
- 36:45know enough about the history or anything like that, I would just leave.
- 36:49I'd be like, Okay, that thing going through people's skin, I'm good.
- 36:52I don't need any part of this. I'll walk home. Those bugs
- 36:55freak me out. And if that's the beginning of this, and whoever this
- 37:00emotep guy is, I'm out. Fun guys, here's my guns. I
- 37:04am leaving. I'm going to Big Mac. I'll get a big Mac.
- 37:07I would betray everybody and join enjoin the one. Yeah for sure. Yeah,
- 37:15I'd be like I'm doing this guy. That's what I always said about
- 37:16zombies. You know. I don't want to get off on another tape.
- 37:20Yeah, but I would join up quickly. I would become one of the
- 37:22first zombies. Just let him bite me and then I would be fine.
- 37:24But yeah, no, I'm out. Yeah, yeah, I'd just be
- 37:28well. And if I knew, like what would happen if I read the
- 37:30book the day and just be like, well, I'm just gonna kill myself,
- 37:35goodbye. I'm good. I don't want any part of this. Yeah.
- 37:37She probably should have read it in her head first. Yes, I
- 37:40don't understand why she read it out loud. Do you think ryall the answer?
- 37:46Honestly? Do you think that you could name all of the letters in
- 37:51the alphabet, not in order and not using the A, B, C,
- 37:54the EFG. Do you think you can name all of them? No,
- 37:59that's tough, right, not on how you prove that you didn't use
- 38:01that? Anyway? Where did that come from? I don't know. It
- 38:06made sense in my head reading out Yeah, okay, sorry, go ahead
- 38:09back to the rear. So for so they read this thing right, and
- 38:15then now for some explic unexplicable reason, they run back into the caves,
- 38:20which I was like, well why why? Yeah? Uh? Immo Tape
- 38:24takes the eyes and tongue from one of the Americans. I'm sure you putrince
- 38:34Simo Tip does not like to be touched, a silly Eastern superstition. I'm
- 38:38afraid I wish forget on, Oh Phips, mister Burns putting Simo Tips sanks
- 38:50you for your hospitality and for your eyes and for your tongue. But I'm
- 39:00afraid more is needed. The princess finished it up, and Constant makes the
- 39:07show in your friend it brought down yourself. And I don't know if I
- 39:15choose him since he needs glasses, like does that transfer? Yeah? Well,
- 39:24did they have glasses back then? Yeah, he was wearing glasses.
- 39:28No, I meant, like back when Emotip was alive, maybe he didn't
- 39:30even know what that was. He's a homosexual, the emo Tip now the
- 39:36guy that can't see you without his glasses. Oh, I think I don't
- 39:38know. He was in desperate housewise pay, I think it was him.
- 39:50He becomes face to face ish with Imitep, who mistakes her for an oxygen
- 39:54moon. O'Connell shoots him and they escape defined Chamberlain and the Magi, who
- 39:59explained the gravity of the situation, and Benny becomes Immotep's minion who will help
- 40:04him find the other jars. We get him that. Yeah, so that's
- 40:08you, Jeff, Yeah, what would you do? Rheah, I told
- 40:13you, I kill myself. But like if but that's they can just bring
- 40:17you back or something. So if you, oh yeah, just keep bringing
- 40:21you back yeah alone, Yeah, yeah, I bet I bet if this
- 40:25went down, you would like reveal that she has powers of her own.
- 40:34No, I would just ship myself and yeah, kill myself. I mean,
- 40:37like, I don't know what else you can do at that point.
- 40:44So we are back in a hotel in Cairo and Eve tries to convince O'Connell
- 40:47that they need to stay put. Wait, they need to put im back
- 40:53in his sarcophagus and save the world. Is that what I said? I
- 40:58don't know what I meant by that sentence. Imiteb finishes the job on the
- 41:01first American. With the help of Benny, we get several more plagues and
- 41:07the group is saved by a cat, because of course that was one of
- 41:09my favorite things. They go back to the Museum of Antiquities and find the
- 41:15Professor's part of them in Jai, and they discuss how they can't let the
- 41:17creature fully regenerate or he'll be Invincible's is any one person I know that can
- 41:25possibly give us any answers? Ms? Connahem, gentlemen, what is he
- 41:31doing here? Do you really want to know? What? Do you prefer
- 41:36to just shoot us? After what I just saw? I'm willing to go
- 41:39on a little faith here. We are part of an ancient secret society for
- 41:45over three thousand years. We have guarded the city of the Dead sworn at
- 41:49Man want to do any and all in our part to stop the high priest
- 41:52dem or Tap from being reborn into this world. Now because of you,
- 41:54we have fears and you think this justifies the killing of innocent people to stop
- 41:59this creature. Let me think yes, And they find Benny, who spills
- 42:02the Imtep is looking for the Book of the Dead and ev Immotep has found
- 42:07the Egyptologists and the second Jar and starting to appear more human. He can
- 42:13breathe insects, which is cool. Uh. They realize they need to rescue
- 42:17ev who's being guarded, albeit poorly by a couple of Americans because they're just
- 42:22like, I'm just gonna go get a drink. Immteps finds one is now
- 42:28almost fully regenerated. He comes upon Evie, who's sleeping, and they head
- 42:32back to the museum for the location of the Book of aman Ra, which
- 42:37they hope will send him back to the underworld. Immatep has put the villagers
- 42:40into a trance to use as his army, setting them on the museum.
- 42:45Immotep consumes his final victim and is now fully regenerated. Cornered, Evie lets
- 42:51imitate Immtep take her back to Hamanoptra. O'Connell, Jonathan, and Ardath escape
- 42:55down the sewage tunnels and they find Winston as Royal Air Force pilot to fly
- 43:01them to haminopdra a word. Awesome, te whatut your little problem got to
- 43:08do with His Majesty's royal acall? It's not a damn thing? Is it
- 43:15dangerous? So you probably won't live through it? Hi, Joe? You
- 43:17many think so? Well, everybody else bumped into has died. Why not
- 43:21you? What's the what's the challenge? Then? Rescue the damsel in distress,
- 43:25kill the bad guy, and save the world. Oh, Winston Havelock
- 43:30at your service up? Oh yeah, commands a sandstorm to attack the plane,
- 43:42but they're able to land. However, Winston dies in the process.
- 43:45So that leads me to my next question, how should this movie end?
- 43:52Well? Uh, first, I think one of the funniest things in the
- 43:55movie was a little bit ago when Benny tries to ans late. Oh yeah,
- 44:00he says, uh, I wrote it down because I thought, oh
- 44:07for the Mummy, and he says, come with me and I'll make you
- 44:08my bride forever, and she goes for all eternity. Yeah, oh man,
- 44:13I thought that was the delivery is great. That's how funny it was.
- 44:15I just love that part. Yeah, and I love the I love
- 44:19the World War One pilot too. I love that guy, you know.
- 44:22But how so at this moment, if I've never seen the movie, how
- 44:24do I think the movie should end? Is that's what we're doing? I
- 44:28say nine to eleven, the guy who drove the plane to drive right into
- 44:31the fucking pyramid? I like that. Yeah, wait, so kill who
- 44:37whoever? He needs to? Just got it? You know? Uh No,
- 44:40I don't know at this moment. I guess what I would probably do
- 44:45is that I wanted that pilot to live longer. I really liked him.
- 44:49I thought he was fun. I thought it was like the levity of it
- 44:51was great brevity, levity, levity, mutual. Ha, I'll let someone
- 45:00else go. I can't think of how it ended. I want to try
- 45:02to include the pilot somehow in the ending. So I'm trying to think of
- 45:05it really quick. I think not to be like yeah, but I think
- 45:07that they probably knew going into this movie like that it was gonna be a
- 45:13hit. So in my opinion, they probably should have led it up to
- 45:16the ending of this movie. The ab But what's the guy's name, the
- 45:22bald guy that sexyes fuck? Yeah, so they should have let him win
- 45:28or whatever and like set up where like, Oh, this person's fucked.
- 45:30This person's fucked, We're all fucked. It's the end of the world.
- 45:35Cut to the next movie. But instead what they did, and I don't
- 45:37know if you're talking about the second movie, but instead of what they did
- 45:39the movie he had its perks the second movie like the Rock Number one and
- 45:45then Sexy horse Boy. But what they did and there's a really good fight
- 45:50scene between the two ladies that's like killer, But what they did do horribly
- 45:53is they there's a lot of new discovery that does not make sense to the
- 45:58first movie at all. And then they cousin Oliver the second movie where they
- 46:02invite like a stupid fucking child to be in the movie, and that just
- 46:06I fucking hate that. Like the only like there's no good name. One
- 46:09good kid like quick quick, like an actor like any any kid, and
- 46:14was a pretty good actor Andy Lawrence, well when he was a kidie he
- 46:17was on Missus Duftfire. It was pretty good. Yeah, and that movie
- 46:21like where they uh where he clones himself lots of times, which we really
- 46:24should talk about. I forget what it's called. My sister's listening, she's
- 46:29saying it right now. But yeah, he clones himself and it's amazing.
- 46:32Okay, in social studies, you can get at least a see in social
- 46:37studies the answer every question Washington, Will Brownie needed to ace his school science
- 46:42project to afolly go into summer boot camp. Where there's a Will, there's
- 46:45another Will kill Will Browning's calling himself, which Will is going to school today?
- 46:55You look like me? But do you have a computer brain? He's
- 46:59last couple of weeks, you've become pretty otulous. Your mother and I are
- 47:02very impressed with you. It's like you're a different kid. It's something so
- 47:07cheesy, but yeah, but they cousin you know, cousin Oliver, Brady
- 47:12Bunch super popular. You know the Brady Bunch. Yes, I know the
- 47:15Rain I've seen like maybe a couple of episodes. Yeah. So the the
- 47:20youngest ones, Bobby and Cindy, they aged up so like they were they
- 47:23were kind of going to the awkward stage. So and back in the day
- 47:27they used to think like, oh, if a show's failing, let's bring
- 47:30in like a young cute kid. They brought in cousin Oliver, who was
- 47:34a fucking piece of ship. If he's if he's listening, right, now
- 47:37fuck you cousin Oliver, and fuck you the actor who made him. I
- 47:40hate him so much. He looked like a asshole. Yeah. Anyways,
- 47:45so that's what they did with like Super Badass and The Mummy too, with
- 47:49all of the same return people and the Rock. But then they bring cousin
- 47:52Oliver for no. I hate that, soays so long story short, they
- 47:55should have made the Mummy and on oh or fucked I think mm hmm,
- 48:02I think the I think the plane should have crashed. But the guy doesn't
- 48:06die yet, and he's like, you know, I've been with this plane
- 48:07for too long. I have to stay with the plane or whatever. So
- 48:10they go, well, you're not gonna survive, and he goes, if
- 48:13I have to go down, A captain goes down with the ship, right,
- 48:15cool, leave it like that type of thing. They leave, they're
- 48:17about to get killed by Imotep or whatever, and then he shows up behind
- 48:22him and shoots him in the head or something, and then it turns out
- 48:23the one that nobody thought would save the day, it turns out he's actually
- 48:28the savior of everything. Better because that'd be really good comedy too. They'd
- 48:30be like, oh my gosh, I'm so glad you're here. So that's
- 48:34how I would have done it. The hot horse guy should be though,
- 48:37like he should very underutilized in this movie, Like you just I feel like
- 48:40he should have had a way bigger role, like that he's talking a bunch,
- 48:44but he doesn't really do that much. I'm with you. Yeah,
- 48:45they less clothing too, Yeah yeah, or maybe not, because like I
- 48:51think that also, men shouldn't be objectified too or just weird clothing, Like
- 48:55he just has a bunch of clothing on and it's really hot. He's like,
- 49:01oh, I have fudying over he sweater on, Like I would love
- 49:07to do like craft services on this movie. Yeah, Like I bet there
- 49:10was so much like fun, like behind the scenes practical jokes and maybe I
- 49:15don't know. They seem like a fun group and it seems like a fun
- 49:17movie too, Like I think it'd be hard to make this movie and everybody
- 49:21like, oh, it was a fucking bummer, badass movie. Okay.
- 49:25So O'Connell cuts out a scarb from Jonathan, who miraculously heals right up,
- 49:31like there's no blood when he cuts him and there's no scar, Like it's
- 49:36weird. Immotep uses ash from one of the jars to bring his prespect to
- 49:39life. The boys find Horus and Benny begins loading up the camels with treasure.
- 49:46Imt has prepared to raise an Oxen the Moon from the dead by strapping
- 49:51Evie down and laying an Oxen the Moon's corpse and organ jars next to her.
- 49:55He raises her spirit and an Oxyn the Moon's corpse comes back to As
- 50:00he readies to kill Evie, Jonathan bursts in holding the Book of Amenroth.
- 50:05They need the key that's in Immotep's robe to open the book. Jonathan begins
- 50:09reading inscriptions on the cover of the book, which awakened more soldiers. As
- 50:14all seems lost, Jonathan finishes the inscription and commands the soldiers to kill an
- 50:17Oxynomon. Immtep goes to kill Jonathan, but O'Connell saves him and Jonathan's able
- 50:23to grab the key. Evi instrucks a Connell to keep Immateep busy while she
- 50:28finds the correct password. Oh yeah, this just keeps getting better and better.
- 50:35Do something. You can come on them. You got to be choking.
- 50:39Finish the inscription on the copy, then you can control them right In
- 50:47a really quick end scene, the Underworld comes to take Immotep's soul, rendering
- 50:52him a mortal, and O'Connell stabs him and he falls into the weird spirit
- 50:57leg and dies. I just thought that scene was so short, Like it
- 51:00was a really short like boss scene, I don't know to me. Yeah,
- 51:06Benny rests a bag full of treasure on a ledge sticking out from a
- 51:09cave cave wall, which triggers its destruction in a ripoff from Indiana Jones.
- 51:15Evie tries to save the book, but a Connall and Jonathan graf her.
- 51:19Benny is stuck in the cave with this treasure and scaabs Ardith has survived and
- 51:24tells them that they have earned the respect and gratitude of his people and blesses
- 51:29them, and we finally get the kiss. O'Connell, Evey, and Jonathan
- 51:32ride into the sunset on the camels, not knowing Ben Benny had loaded them
- 51:37with treasure. The end. Yeah. You know what's funny is I had
- 51:43to eat this whole podcast without any notes because I had so much fun.
- 51:46About thirty minutes into it, I fucking stopped writing notes because I was so
- 51:50into the movie. And then like every now that I'm like, oh shit,
- 51:52I forgot. I have to remember to do notes. Yeah, this
- 51:54movie overall, it's great. You know, the ending was a little quick
- 51:58for how badass he was. Same one. Okay's fine, I guess,
- 52:00you know, because they really built it up, you know, like now
- 52:05he's done. So I'm with you on that one. But I love the
- 52:07kiss at the end. I know it's well everybody was expecting to happen.
- 52:09But I loved it. I thought it was great. And they they they
- 52:14got the treasure at the end. There's wonderful. I loved it. That's
- 52:15a great movie. Probably later that night after they discovered the treasure, there's
- 52:19gonna be some TP on his on his FBM A right tongue punch on my
- 52:25fart box. I learned that today. Okay, so there's an actor in
- 52:32this movie, Jonathan Hyde. You know who that guy is. He's Okay,
- 52:37I'm gonna google it really quick. Hey, Siri, show me a
- 52:40picture. Okay, show me a picture of Jonathan Hyde. This guy.
- 52:49Okay, so you know who? Yeah, Yeah, he's he's one of
- 52:52the Yeah, he's one of the Yeah. So he is in like Jumanji.
- 52:58He plays two characters. He plays the dad, and he plays like
- 53:00the hunter guy. And then he's in Titanic he plays the guy that's like
- 53:04yo, Captain, like let's go faster. He's in like Richie. He's
- 53:07in so many movies from our childhood, but he's like a you know nobody
- 53:12now, you know whatever, Like I'm sure he stole a lot. He
- 53:14might not be. I don't know who cares. But the point of that
- 53:19was, but I'm just like this movie. Yeah, yeah, I'm like
- 53:23the physiologist. Yeah, if I brought like Marissa Tome, that wouldn't makes
- 53:28sense right now. Yeah. I was like, oh, but I thought
- 53:30I was like, okay, I thought you were gonna say I wish he
- 53:31was in the movie, and I'm like, yeah, it would have been
- 53:32cool. No. I mean yeah, no, I thought the Indian was
- 53:37you know whatever. But how would you think that it should have ended?
- 53:40Rhea? Oh, I don't know. You know what's funny is like I
- 53:44asked these questions and then I never thought about it. I don't know.
- 53:49I think I do think there needed to be a longer Boss scene. I
- 53:52think that they built him up so much to have like being invincible, and
- 53:58then he's just like Met you're dead. So I think it just it needed
- 54:01more. And I also think that like, I don't know, I think
- 54:07it just ended really cheesy like it. I think that it wasn't at that
- 54:13time where it was a guaranteed sequel. Maybe not. But but you know,
- 54:17India you said Indian Jones came before, like people probably knew this is
- 54:22gonna be a thang. So maybe they really should have presented it more of
- 54:24like a two movies or three movies potentially and made something like really you know,
- 54:30like just yummy, like just scrumptious. Well, before this one,
- 54:32Brendan Frager was known, but I don't think he this this might have been
- 54:36what catapulted him, right because before this it might have been George of the
- 54:39Jungle. So I don't know if you would have really it was like a
- 54:43breakout star yet so this right, so maybe when they maybe they didn't expect
- 54:46this to be as big of a hit. Maybe I don't know, Yeah,
- 54:49yeah, I don't know. Uh, Georgia of the Jungle. Is
- 54:52that Leslie Man? I think so she's underrated? Do you know what movies
- 54:57underrated? Because you said Leslie Man is heavyweights with Ben Stiller because her husband
- 55:05was a writer for that, and now I can't think of her. I
- 55:13don't know. I hope he makes it, but I just think Leslie Leslie,
- 55:17No, not Leslie Jones, Leslie Man. I feel like she is
- 55:21so funny. I don't think that she gets enough credit for how funny she
- 55:23She's been, like the cable guy who wrote but yeah, I know,
- 55:28I'm with you. Yeah, yeah, she's She's way better than Charlie's Sarin.
- 55:31Anyways, sure I'm connecting them. Do you have any alternative titles for
- 55:39this? So glad you brought this up? I have a list? Yes?
- 55:44How many? Who wants? Did she? Just? Yeah? Do
- 55:45you have any? I just have one. How about we do one two
- 55:50three? One two three? We'll just all keep only has one? All
- 55:52right? So what have you start? Yeah? So I did Indiana Jones
- 55:59and the Sands of Time also Jones movie. I mean it's basically Indiana Jones,
- 56:06Yeah right, and the Sounds of the Time. It's really good.
- 56:07Do you want to go to me? To go? You can go the
- 56:10Sand Wizard because there's magic. Mine aren't good. I haven't read this since
- 56:15I wrote it. My mummy Vinnie, all right, I have this one
- 56:21too, the sand Man Witch. That's a good one. That's a good
- 56:25one. Sand Wizard and sand Man Witch yours are way better. Home Alone
- 56:31three. The Mummy. This one's kind of a serious one. Unburied.
- 56:37That one's okay. I'm not a big fair that one. This is not
- 56:39good. But I see I see that. I see why I chose these.
- 56:43Now, let's see if you can connect why I chose them. I
- 56:45have Cassin. It's not funny casino Mummy like in cino casino, like a
- 56:57casino like slots in the Las Vegas. Yeah, because so casino Mummy,
- 57:00my mummy, vinny Home Alone three movies. This one. When I thought
- 57:08of it, I thought of you, look who's curse now with babies?
- 57:15Who's talking now? You baby? Zombies? Or these are zombies. I
- 57:22have a lot more. Yeah, let's do No, I only have three?
- 57:23Okay ready, yeah, big, bigger, faster, stronger, the
- 57:28best curse in history. Okay, that's good. The Cummy porn parody wrap
- 57:34wrap it up either a dance movie or porn parody. Unwrapped porn parody where
- 57:39it's raw dogging the Gummy where they take weed gummies and it's a weed parody
- 57:45and then my personal favorite Mumchi it's a Munchie and the Mummy. Yeah yeah,
- 57:54I love them, you killed it and genres and like, how great
- 57:59would it be if like the Mummy would like shows up and it's Munchie exactly.
- 58:06And then I think it'd be funny if Wrap it Up was a porn
- 58:07parody and then they have Unwrapped, but it's also a poor parody. But
- 58:12they just don't use a condom on that one. Some states, I think
- 58:14they make you wear condoms if you film porn. Oh yeah, maybe I
- 58:17don't know how they would enforce that. That's really difficult, of course,
- 58:24uh okay an yeah, I would any overall thoughts as I think this is
- 58:34if if you want to explain to somebody that doesn't know what Like back in
- 58:37the day, remember how there used to be summer blockbuster movies. Now it's
- 58:39just like with all the Marvel movies. It seemed like it was like coming
- 58:43out every couple of months. It kind of lost its luster. And yeah,
- 58:45I know that sounding old, but back when you were, when you
- 58:49were younger, there wasn't as many. You know, it only really came
- 58:51out in summertime because that's when all the kids could go anyways. I think
- 58:54this is a perfect blockbuster summer movie. Great casting, good fun story.
- 59:00It wasn't too violent, nothing was too scary. You're engaged in the entire
- 59:04time. And I think Rachel Weiss's her name. I think her and Brenda
- 59:07Fraser together, that chemistry on screen is perfect and it's wonderful. I it's
- 59:13not one of my favorite movies, of course, but like it is like
- 59:15a fun action movie. So overall with all movies, I'll probably give it
- 59:19like a seven point five out of ten, but if you're looking for just
- 59:22fun action movies, it's like a nine point five out of ten. Yeah.
- 59:25No, I thought it was good, Like it was a good like
- 59:31my look back at j I'm like, well that was so good. I
- 59:34don't know it was. It was alright, like whatever I was thinking about
- 59:37the Mummy movie that came out with Tom Cruise. We're just like every other
- 59:42action movie of his, but then there's like a Mummy, And then I
- 59:45was also thinking, like he probably runs in it. Really cool. Yeah,
- 59:47it's like is fucking hot too? Just FYI? But no, I
- 59:52think this movie was fun and it's it takes you on it. Whoever shot
- 59:55it did a nice job or whatever. I don't know. The score was
- 59:58great too, the music in the background. Yeah, it was fine,
- 1:00:01and so i'd probably give it like a Back then it was like a nine
- 1:00:07point five out of ten. But then, god, I'm so bored with
- 1:00:09my voice. Okay, do a funny voice. I'll do like a robot
- 1:00:15from the future. Okay, okay, all right, I'm a robot from
- 1:00:20the future. Beep beep. I would give it a four point five out
- 1:00:25of ten. Wow, four point five. Oh, that's great. Like
- 1:00:34I'm not gonna rewatch. I'll probably rewatch The Mummy too, just like you
- 1:00:37know, because now I cannot want to watch it and criticize it and chat
- 1:00:40about it. And it has some really cool, fucking awesome scenes, but
- 1:00:45again, the fucking child. So I would say that, like without nostalgia
- 1:00:53goggles on, I would say it's probably like an a seven for me,
- 1:01:00but like with nostalgia goggles, definitely like a nine to nine and a half.
- 1:01:05Yeah, yeah, I fucking love this movie. Yeah, it takes
- 1:01:08a lot for my attention. I have really bad attention span issues, Like
- 1:01:13it's hard for me to focus on something for so long if it's not like
- 1:01:16it's because your phone phone. When I'm watching a movie or TV show,
- 1:01:21I literally put my phone in another room now so I have to focus on
- 1:01:22it. And I'm finding so much more joy in movie and TV shows again.
- 1:01:25I'm like, oh yeah, because I'm not like every couple of minutes,
- 1:01:29you know, or even like I love watching like ninety D Fiance now
- 1:01:32like I'm like re relapsed and I'm watching that a lot, and like that's
- 1:01:37more my thinge yeah, yeah, it's good. Yeah. All right,
- 1:01:43let's do retro. Reboot tells the past. It's time to recast. It's
- 1:01:47retro, all right, So let's start with Jonathan. Oh. I recasted
- 1:02:00Jonathan as not the brother but the mother. And I want to choose none
- 1:02:05other than Jennifer Cooley. Of course you are, yeah, I think she
- 1:02:07would kill it, so okay, Andy. So for Jonathan, I chose
- 1:02:15Josh Gadd because I really like Josh jos He did the voice for the Snowman
- 1:02:21and Frozen and he was, oh yeah, yeah, I love him.
- 1:02:24Yeah, I think he's great. Is he homosexual? I don't believe.
- 1:02:27So he was in Beauty and the Beast and he got to start with the
- 1:02:31Mormon. Uh, play with from the South Park guys, the Mormon.
- 1:02:37I think it'd be. I think he'd be a great kind of buffoon in
- 1:02:40the background, like I think. No, I love that. I love
- 1:02:44that. Yeah, yeah, I like it. Okay, So for me,
- 1:02:50I chose I'm gonna drop this guy in the chat. I chose Darryl
- 1:02:54McCormick. Oh yeah, Jonathan yeah fuck yeah, listener, go Google google
- 1:03:02him right now. Beautifulies. Yeah. Yeah. So he he was in
- 1:03:07Bad Sisters, which is an Irish film show, Irish series, and The
- 1:03:12Woman in the Wall, which is also a British series. He's British,
- 1:03:15but I think he can play the comedic relief really well. Anyway, I
- 1:03:21think, what's it what's his name again, Darryl McCormick. Where the fuck
- 1:03:25did I get Josh hide from him? Is that what you said? I
- 1:03:29said, Josh yad not good brain. Oh. I think he's in a
- 1:03:37movie with what's that chick's name who's like kind of sad, like I would
- 1:03:40switch teams for her. She's in uh, what's that movie called the Christmas
- 1:03:51Movie with Hugh Grant that I love. Actually Emma Thompson. So he's in
- 1:03:54a movie with Emma Thompson where they have like an affair anyways, okay,
- 1:04:00okay, who who do you want to do next? Yeah? Yeah,
- 1:04:02let's dotey I did. I apparently I was feeling a certain person during this
- 1:04:10one, so I did. Joe Pesci. Jennifer plays all the roles.
- 1:04:15She's iconic, Joe Pesci Jennifer Coolidge. Like what other Like, that's a
- 1:04:19good DEALO so far? I love that so much. I love Okay,
- 1:04:26I love Yeah, I got a curse now, Oh that's wonderful. I
- 1:04:30chose Tony Shaloub. I guess he's Lebanese and that's only ten hours away from
- 1:04:34Egypt. I was like, that's kind of closed, you knowing. What
- 1:04:39does he look like? Uh? He was on Wings? He has my
- 1:04:42favorite scene on Wings. He plays Antonio. Oh monk oh he's mom Yeah
- 1:04:46yeah yeah, oh yeah he can easily. Who's he playing the pharaoh guy?
- 1:04:49M yeah he could play him like Tony. I think it's funny actor.
- 1:04:53So he's the guy from Chips Andy Estrada something like that. Okay,
- 1:05:02go ahead, are you okay? So I went with I'm gonna butcher this
- 1:05:06name. I'm so sorry for listening. Jaman Hans Sue. Oh, yeah,
- 1:05:13no, he's great. Yeah, yeah, Jazam it was this he
- 1:05:19that's he played Zachary Levi, who played Shazam. It's like a weird MetaType
- 1:05:23casting. Oh, he's so attractive, Like he's a good actor. He
- 1:05:28was in a quiet place too, he was in Gladigator. That's what I
- 1:05:30know him from the most. Yeah, he's gonna be in a quiet place,
- 1:05:33a new one with Lepida Youngo, Youngo. She's cute. She's a
- 1:05:41cute little lady. I like her. Yeah, Okay, who's your next
- 1:05:44one? All right, let's go with Evy. I did. Mine's kind
- 1:05:48of like a pitifuck. So I did Luke Hemsworth. He's the third Hemsworth
- 1:05:55brother, because I feel like he doesn't have as much star power as his
- 1:05:59brother, and I feel like this would be a good way for him to
- 1:06:01feel less shitty. And yeah, because if you were Liam and Chris Hemsworth's
- 1:06:10brother, I would feel like a piece of shit, like like I every
- 1:06:15day, like God, I'm so shitty, Like I would feel like literally
- 1:06:20like hammered dog shit if I was so. Yeah, So I'm gonna give
- 1:06:25him, give it to give the role to him, I'm sure he could
- 1:06:27do it. Yeah, for sure, I'm gonna go who. I've had
- 1:06:31a crush on her since she was in the movie Funny People. But Aubrey
- 1:06:35Plaza, Yeah, I mean she's not. I think she's I think she's
- 1:06:41like Irish or something. Actually, but uh yeah, no, I think
- 1:06:43she's beautiful. I think she would be great, especially playing off the person
- 1:06:46I have for Brenda Fraser's character. Yeah, so yeah, I think she'd
- 1:06:50be wonderful. To ask you a Batman question really quick? Sure, So
- 1:06:53the new Batman that came out with Robert Pattinson, how would you feel if
- 1:06:57she would have been cast as Catwoman? I really liked that Catwoman. They
- 1:07:00chose Zoe Gravis daughter. I feel like that one was a little too dark,
- 1:07:06even though she is dark, but it comes off kind of funny dark.
- 1:07:10I don't, I don't know. I think and the Mummy is kind
- 1:07:13of it's like action adventure but it's comedy. So yeah, I think she'd
- 1:07:17have a lot of funny quick. Yeah, this is really good, all
- 1:07:21right? So for Evie, I went with Zandaia. Oh sure, she's
- 1:07:29iconic, iconic. No, I'm obsessed with her and Tom Tom Hard Tom
- 1:07:35Hardy, Tom Brady. Tom is his name, Tom, Tom, Tom
- 1:07:40Zillow. That's all right, Tom, Tom, Tom Hardy to Tom,
- 1:07:48He's she's she's together with Tom something. Tom is his name. I don't
- 1:07:55know he's he's not, He's not Zendia. But wait, where do we
- 1:07:58go? Oh? Did you lose me? No? Oh? Sorry,
- 1:08:01I got the wrong screen up. Oh I like to look at Rio is
- 1:08:04beautiful? All right? Finally, Holland Tom Holland. So Tom Holland if
- 1:08:14they get married, do you think his name is going to be Tom?
- 1:08:16Or is her name gonna be Zindeia Holland? Oh no, she's not taking
- 1:08:19his name. Do you think he's gonna take hers? And she doesn't have
- 1:08:21a last name, so he's just gonna be Tom. That's poetic Tom.
- 1:08:27It's like Zindia and then Tom. It was like, it's it's very You
- 1:08:30have to be with somebody who has a similar cool name, is you because
- 1:08:35like Zindaia beautiful, iconic, and there's Tom we have and Tom. Yeah,
- 1:08:41it just doesn't it doesn't flow well. My number one or whatever O'Connell
- 1:08:46because I did some gender swapping is the iconic. I have a girl crush
- 1:08:50on Her Palmer. Oh sure, yeah, so Keiky Palmer, Luke Hemsworth,
- 1:08:57Jennifer Coolidge, and Joe Petty. Yeah so good, all right?
- 1:09:02Oh my gosh, you can't let Joe but his name is Joe Pesci.
- 1:09:08You can't let Joe Pesci finish the curse. Uh. So this person I
- 1:09:15felt like is very good looking, very charismatic, can be funny, super
- 1:09:19ripped. I chose Michael B. Jordan. I think Michael B. Jordan
- 1:09:24and Aubrey Plaza together would be so fucking good because he he confuses me because
- 1:09:30he is either one of the best actors I've ever seen, or he's not
- 1:09:33acting in every single role I can't tell. So, like, I love
- 1:09:39the nero, right, but you can tell he's playing a role of a
- 1:09:41gangster and he's doing it perfectly. But every time Michael B. Jordan's in
- 1:09:44any movie I ever seen, it just it feels so not acting. But
- 1:09:48it maybe it is acting, So I don't know. I can't explain it,
- 1:09:51but I think he's great. I think he's a wonderful action star.
- 1:09:55So yeah, I'll go Michael B. Jordan. Nice. I like it,
- 1:09:57I like it all right, So for ocom I went with Brian Gleeson,
- 1:10:02the son of Brendan Gleeson. Who's Brendan Gleeson, the father of Bride.
- 1:10:11Yeah, so wait, who's your Zindaia? He looks. Yeah.
- 1:10:16The age difference might be a little thing. I don't know how old he's
- 1:10:20day. She may be thirty and this guy is in his sixties for sure,
- 1:10:26kidding forty. I think maybe he's or maybe he's closer to my age.
- 1:10:30He might be like thirty eight and then Zindaya is what like twenty four
- 1:10:34something. He's that's a rough, that's a hard forty. But he would
- 1:10:39be perfect for this movie though, for sure, especially what he's wearing in
- 1:10:43this picture he showed with his jacket, he looks like he's about to go
- 1:10:45on an expedition. Yeah, and he is hilarious. He was in a
- 1:10:48show called Frank of Ireland where he plays like this kind of fucked up loser
- 1:10:56son and he's great in it. And I think he just would have like
- 1:11:01the comedic chops to play this. Well, would you have this dude do
- 1:11:08it like that character kind of to he's kind of like maybe like a drunken
- 1:11:11stuff. That would be fucking hilarious. That would be so good. He
- 1:11:15doesn't really want to do it. That's wonderful. Yeah, for sure.
- 1:11:19I think we nailed it. Like I think we just made three. I
- 1:11:23think we should be casting directors. I don't know why. Yeah, I
- 1:11:26mean that should. How do we get that job? We just gotta start
- 1:11:29making movies. I already have a few names for a movie. What movie?
- 1:11:33I say, Look, who's curse? Now? I don't the babies
- 1:11:36come cursed? I think we have three very different movies. So we're just
- 1:11:44nailing this. Yeah, so before we go, should we? Uh?
- 1:11:49Do you have anything? Yeah? I do actually have something. Go ahead.
- 1:11:55I wrote a children's books it called It's called Back in Time with Gabe.
- 1:12:00So my buddy, Gabe's wife keeps sending me pictures a Gabe because Gabe's
- 1:12:03weird, and so I have photoshopped all those pictures in history. And if
- 1:12:11you want a good children's book that rhymes before you put your kids to bed,
- 1:12:15you can get a copy of it for twenty bucks. How do we
- 1:12:17get it? I haven't thought about it. Okay, Message and Instagram I
