Allen and Chris get on the rag…the Mummy’s rags that is!

Universal recently released The Mummy starring Tom Cruise, hoping to kick of their Dark Universe shared universe….how does it stand up next to the last big budget Mummy reboot, Stephen Sommers’ wildly successful 1999 film starring Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz and John Hannah?

We talk,

Cool voiceovers

The Egyptian Devil

Geopolitics

Tobe Hooper’s Lifeforce!

I’ve heard of a Dr Jekyll..but a Mr Hyde?

Russell Crowe and his plummy accent

And the lesser-known Universal monster we want to see rebooted
