1 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha. I'm welcome to Stephana 2 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: never told you protection of I Heart Radio. It is 3 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:25,319 Speaker 1: time for another feminist movie Friday the first. Yeah, Yes, 4 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: and we're starting it with one of my absolute favorite 5 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: movies of all time, the nine classic The Mommy, Mommy. 6 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 1: And by Samantha's insistence, the Mommy too, I feel like 7 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: it has to be there. According to you, you're very 8 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: very passionate about it. Yes, and the Mommy was a 9 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: listener's suggestion, So thank you, Kayla. I always love when 10 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: listeners suggests something that I love anyway, So it's like 11 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: I get to just rewatch something that I already really enjoy. 12 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: And she sent us a link to a blog post 13 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: by Lee in a Red Dress that was really helpful. 14 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: In all of this made a lot of great points 15 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: about the kind of feminist take on this movie. We'll 16 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: be getting into that later. Also. A recently, Ish watched 17 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: this with co worker and friend Lauren Vogelbaum, and we 18 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: kept saying how much Rachel Revices character still holds up. 19 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: We kept being like, well, yeah, I feel like unlike 20 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: a lot of the movies or TV that we watched 21 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: from twenty years ago, twenty years ago. I know it 22 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: doesn't hold up, and you kind of squirm and have 23 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: to accept that it was made back when, even though 24 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: it shouldn't have been made back when. And this one 25 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: doesn't do that as much, so you're like, Okay, we're cool. 26 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: We're cool. Although the second one a little less held up, 27 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: little less. We'll sign up. Yeah. Well, I absolutely adore 28 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: The Mummy. I it's one of six movies that I 29 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: can quote the whole way through the Egyptian in all 30 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: which I I have no idea if that's actually Egyptian, 31 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: but I can say it similarly to how they say 32 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,679 Speaker 1: it in the movie. And I remember I had to 33 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: campaign really hard to see this movie in theaters as 34 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: my dad because he's like, I think it might scare you, 35 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: and I don't know. I don't. I said these were 36 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: still my parents would go with me to PG thirteen movies, 37 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,119 Speaker 1: and I just I worked so hard to convince him, 38 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: and then I was trying really really hard to hide 39 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: how scared I was, because he was right. The Beatles, 40 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: the scare of Beatles really scared me. And I think 41 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: I had a crush on pretty much half the people 42 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: in this movie at one point in time and I 43 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: love the ride at Universal. It is so fun. That 44 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: is a good ride. I hope they don't take it 45 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: down because it's funny. It's like about the making of 46 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: the movie right, and I'm not sure how much like 47 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: the younger generation gets it, but right right, And it's 48 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: definitely old Brendon Fiser. Two's definitely way back when Brendon 49 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: Faser right because when you see him today it looks 50 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: attle different. Has gone through a lot of stuff, unfortunately 51 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: due and it's trying to come out of it on 52 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: the other side. But it's definitely taking him a minute. 53 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: I don't know how to do this, So it was 54 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: prime Britain Fraser. I will say that, although I will 55 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: say he was one of my first questions, not because 56 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: of this movie, but because of movies like Incino Man 57 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 1: and School Ties. Those two movies are the one things 58 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: that made him for me. That's so great. I've never 59 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: seen any of this, but I know the image like 60 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: on the cover. So yeah. In Sino Man, my friend 61 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: and I in high school we memorized that movie. We 62 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: know all of everything to do with that movie. We 63 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,839 Speaker 1: even got the soundtrack to that movie. Yeah, we were 64 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: really into it. Oh wow, Oh yes, whoa. I know 65 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: I've spoken before about my my New Year's tradition on 66 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: this show whereight I very specifically choose the last movie 67 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: I want to end a year on in the first 68 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: movie I want to start the New year on. And 69 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, I was in South Africa 70 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: for work over New Year's and the last movie I 71 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: saw was The New Mummy with Tom Cruise on the plane. 72 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: Oh no, it was not good. It was bad, bad, bad, 73 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: bad movie to go out on. So when I got home, 74 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: the first movie I watched in the New Year was 75 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: the nineteen versions. It never had a desire to see 76 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: the Tom Cruise version because I was like, what is 77 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: this trying to make something that was like, yes, action filled, 78 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: but also fun to just action watch Tom Cruise get 79 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: hurt and hurt things. Okay, cool? Yeah yeah. And I 80 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: mean the ending was pretty weird too, because they were 81 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: trying to set up that whole like the new Universal 82 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: Monster series. So it's like, clearly meant to be a series, 83 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: but you just knew it probably wasn't gonna happen, so 84 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: what yeah yeah, And also when The Mummy too, the 85 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: Mummy returns, I keep saying, Mommy Returns. Let me get 86 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: correct that when that came out, that there was this 87 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: website for the movie, which I actually after we watched 88 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: You've Got Mail, I got really into that for a minute, 89 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: remembering those like old Remember when movies would come out, 90 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: they would have these like websites and you can play 91 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: games on them and stuff. Well, the Mummy Returns had 92 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: one where you could see what you were. You would 93 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: take this test in it would tell you what you 94 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: were in a past life. And I got dune beetle, 95 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: and I've never forgotten it. I have never forgotten it. 96 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: I see. I mean, you've come out on top. That's 97 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: the good news, I guess. So you're not a dune beetle. Congratulations. 98 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: Proud of you, Thank you, Thank you, Samantha. I have 99 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: not a doug beetle. You're not a dung beetle. Proud 100 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 1: of you. Thanks for being here about Yes, let's talk 101 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: about the Mummy and all the dung beetles. So the 102 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,559 Speaker 1: Mummy is a nineteen ninety nine, twenty two years old 103 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 1: we are old American adventure movie and remake of the 104 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: nineteen thirty two film. And it starts, Yes, Brendan Fraser 105 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: and Rachel Weiss, and it's written and directed by Stephen Summers. 106 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: Apparently there were all kinds of issues while they filmed 107 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: it in Morocco, like snakes and sandstorms and yeah no 108 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: thank you, but I think that's also how they play 109 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: into the ride. But when the movie came out, it 110 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: was a financial success, which is why we have three 111 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: of them. The credits were so so on it, but 112 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: the audience obviously, like us, really love it. Do you 113 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: know there's like a cartoon series two, so is there. Yeah, 114 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: there's a lot of stun I think it is something 115 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen some series came out, So yeah, people 116 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: really really dug it. It's funny because a lot of 117 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: reviews I was reading of it, like recent reviews said, 118 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: you know, the c g I isn't great, but it 119 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: holds up. I think it holds up pretty There's clearly 120 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: this is obviously for the first one, Scorpie King is 121 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: like notoriously one of the worst c g I things ever. 122 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: But in this one. Yeah, so the plot I could again, 123 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: I could just quote the whole movie. I could do 124 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: the sound effects, I could do it all. But I 125 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: know that you don't want it, so I won't. It 126 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: opens in ancient Egypt, and we learned that an Ox 127 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: in the Moon the Fair his mistress, is having an 128 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: affair with its high priest Emo Tep, who spoiler alert 129 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: is the Mummy. On one of their forbidden praise the 130 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: pharaoh catches them making out and they both kill him. 131 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: The guards are hammering down the door to get in, 132 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: so an ox in the Moon convinces Emotep to leave, 133 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: telling him to use his abilities to resurrect her. So 134 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: he does uh and before the guards can arrest her, 135 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: an ox in the Moon kills herself, Emotep and his 136 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: presteeler body and take it to the lost City of 137 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: the Dead Hamlinatra. Emotup begins the ritual to bring her back, 138 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: but is interrupted by the Magi, who are the pharaoh's 139 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: bodyguards before he can complete the ritual. So as punishment 140 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: for this, Emo Tep is sentenced to the Honda, which 141 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: is a punishment so horrific it's never been used before. Basically, 142 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: he's mommified alive, his tongue has cut out, He's wrapped 143 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: tightly in bandages, put it in a sarcophagus, and buried 144 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: alive with those flesh eating beatles. A curse is placed 145 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: on him too, for good measure that if he's ever 146 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: brought back, he would unleash the seven plagues of Egypt 147 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: and you know, like destroy everything. So to top it off, 148 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: the Magi are sworn to guard him to make sure 149 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: no one brings him back. So cut to the early 150 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: nineteen hundreds, American Ric O'Connell played by Brendan Fraser leading 151 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: some soldiers in the midst the battle at the sites 152 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: of the ruins of how A Naptra. He also meets 153 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: his Weasley acquaintance Benny. We all know, Benny, you're gonna 154 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: get yours. And as the battle goes on, Rick realizes 155 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: that's something supernatural going on, warning him away, and he 156 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: makes off into the desert under observation of the Magi. 157 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: Then we jump to and we meet e V played 158 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: by Rachel Weiss, who is the daughter of famous Egyptologists. 159 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: She's a librarian, but she wants to follow in her 160 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: parents footsteps. However, as maybe opens, she has once again 161 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 1: been rejected by the prestigious Bimverge scholars, and she has 162 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: one of the best worst intros ever in my opinion. 163 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: While she's precariously balanced on a ladder trying to replace 164 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: a book on the top shelf. The ladder falls into 165 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: the shelves and it's a domino effect knocking over all 166 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: these huge shelves of books just go askew. There's papers everywhere, 167 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: so good. Then we meet her screwp brother, Jonathan, who 168 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: shows her an ancient key he quote found akse tool Jonathan. 169 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: It takes EVI to a jail to meet the person 170 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: who stole it from, because she recognizes immediately like this 171 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: might be something special. And of course he stole it 172 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: from none other than Rick O'Connell, who is scheduled to 173 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: be hanged. O'Connell promises to take them to Hominoptra if 174 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: they can secure his release, and this is after he 175 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: grabs EV's face and kisses her. Of course, she's able 176 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: to cut a deal with the warden and O'Connell is 177 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: freed in the nick of time.

They're not aware of 190 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: who they are, and they make a narrow escape, switching 191 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: over to Cable's and it's the O'Connell's turn to be 192 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: impressed with Evie's new clothes and looks right.

But that's not 279 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: how that goes, but you know whatever. By the way, 280 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: when this is all happening, he stumbles on Benny, who 281 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: can speak Manya languages and starts praying to every god 282 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: there is, and Window says, oh, you're speaking the language 283 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: of my slaves. He assumes that he could, you know, 284 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: serve him, and so promises been he a fortune if 285 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: he helps the Mummy regenerate, which of course involves killing 286 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: all the Americans and retrieving the jars. And because he 287 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: is Benny, he says, of course, yes, yes, please, let's 288 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: do this. Yes, yes, So now the Mummy and has 289 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: got a little psychic Benny a henchman. Now that's better. 290 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: So Evie refuses to leave. Like they fled the scene 291 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: and they're back in the city. They're back in Cairo, 292 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: I believe, but there like, Evie refuses to leave until 293 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: she can put a stop to the curse, despite Rick's 294 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: attempts to convince her otherwise. Um and more and more 295 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: of the plagues are starting up. The water turns into blood. 296 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: They're slaves in the sky. Darkness descends, even though it's 297 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: the middle of the day. The Mummy arrives, kills one 298 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: of the Americans, kisses Evie while she is asleep, again, 299 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: calling her an ox in a moon. Rick arrives and 300 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: scares him away with a cat, because you know cats 301 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: regardings the underworld in Egyptian mythology, and the group meets 302 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: up with a member of the magi artist Bay and 303 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: the egyptologist at the library Evie works at, who also 304 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: works with the magi and they realized that the Mummy 305 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: is planning on using ev as a sacrifice to bring 306 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: back his beloved an oxon a Moon. Ev is able 307 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: to correct a mistranslation to learn the location of the 308 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: Book of the Living, which should be enough to destroy 309 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: the Mummy, and it's a Bimbage scholar mistranslation, so that's 310 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: a powerful moment. But the Bummy corners them after killing 311 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: all the Americans and fully regenerating himself, so now he 312 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: looks human, and Evie agrees to go with him in 313 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: order to save the rest of the group. Right, So 314 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: Rick and Jonathan and the Magi art at Bay Sexy 315 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: self made their way to Hamanaptra, fight their way through 316 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: the Mummy, fight priests a half, resurrected a sun of Moon, 317 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: and the Mummy himself, and succeed in killing him thanks 318 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: largely to Evie's wits, and escape the collapsing city. Of course, 319 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: then Rick and Evie kiss after they're like, oh, you know, 320 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: I didn't get anything out of that. That didn't get 321 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: any treasures, and Rick says, oh, I don't know about that. 322 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 1: And they right off happily ever after, of course, until 323 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: the second one of comes roight. Yeah, that's always a 324 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: funny thing when a movie and so happily after ever 325 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: but then you know there's a sequel, so you're like, well, yeah, 326 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: I give it sometimes, yeah, sometimes. And I just wanted 327 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 1: to put it in here because every time I watched this, 328 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: I think that this Even as a kid, I remember 329 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 1: like Evie's armpits were so well shaved, and I was like, 330 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: did women do that back then or did they get 331 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 1: that close? Like I don't know, but every time that 332 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: sticks out to me, that's true. All right. So that's 333 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: the Mummy, And now I guess we should talk about 334 00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: The Mummy Returns, the Mummy Too. But first let's pas 335 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: for a quick break for word from our sponsor, and 336 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: we're back. Thank you sponsoring. Okay, So, yes, the Mummy 337 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: Too or the Mummy Returns as it's actually, honestly, I 338 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 1: love all of the Mummy movies. I know they're not great, 339 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: not all of them are winners, but yes, I love them. 340 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: And I just really wanted to make any watch this 341 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: because she refuses to do so, and honestly, I would 342 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: have chosen to do the third one too, but I 343 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 1: thought it maybe too much for her to handle, so 344 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: I gave gave it up. But I mean, come on, 345 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 1: Russell long Gently and Michelle Yow. There's some of my 346 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 1: favorite actors and I really do love who they are 347 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 1: and the fact that they are part of this franchise too. Yeah, 348 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: and okay, So Samantha was very adamant that we watched this, 349 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 1: and I'm actually not even sure why I'm so resistant 350 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: to it, but so I watched it last night. I 351 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: kept putting it off and putting it off, and I 352 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: was like, well, I guess I'd better watch it. And 353 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 1: then after it was over, I checked the outline and yeah, 354 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: we so this was happening. We're recording it the day after. 355 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,679 Speaker 1: And I had a moment because Samantha hadn't added anything 356 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: to the outline about the money returns, where I thought 357 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: she had played a prank on me and tricked me 358 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: into watching it, and I was like oorried by the 359 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: way it was done. But I did have a moment 360 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: of like, what if I just deleted all that part 361 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,239 Speaker 1: she put it in about the mommy too and just 362 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 1: moved on, I would have been furious. So, like last night. 363 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: I was fuming, even though for all I knew you 364 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: were going to we were going to talk about it, 365 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: but even the possibility, right, it would have been a 366 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: good break. But fortunately for everyone around, it's not a prank. 367 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 1: And yes, we are going to talk about it very 368 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: briefly though, because we are mainly going to focus on 369 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: the original. But I just had to put a very 370 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: quick SYNOPSI so we can all bask in this glory 371 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: of the sequel. Sure, all right, So like the first movie, 372 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 1: we have the opening scene that begins with a legend 373 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: of the Legend of the Scorpion King played by the 374 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: one and only the Rock, Dwayne at the Rock Johnson, 375 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: who I believe this is one of his first acting Actually, yeah, 376 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: and I that was one of the first things I 377 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 1: texted Samantha last night was while the acting is, he's 378 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: improved a lot, I'll say. And yeah, So he the 379 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,120 Speaker 1: Scorpion King became the Scorpion King by giving his soul 380 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 1: to the god A knew this, who takes him after 381 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: giving him victory over his enemies with the help of 382 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: his armies. So there's just like the Scorpion King will 383 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: rise again with the army of the dead thing, and 384 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: then we cut to the O'Connell's Vicken Evelyn Evie with 385 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: their son Alex, and yeah, there's still getting into mischief 386 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 1: by digging up things they shouldn't. Yeah, archaeologists that keep 387 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: taking things up, and it is really funny because it 388 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 1: plays on the whole how many mummies and dead armies 389 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,199 Speaker 1: and things can we raise? And they seem to have 390 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,479 Speaker 1: just accepted this, I guess. So they discover a new treasure, 391 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: the very slid of a new Bosh, which is a 392 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 1: huge mistake. And as they discover it, they also learned 393 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,919 Speaker 1: that there's a trap that for anyone who removes it 394 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: too late. Did they see the inscription saying like, don't 395 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 1: open this warning you? And we cut do like waters 396 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: from the nile rushing into their dig site where they 397 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 1: almost drowned, but by chance, their son, who is trying 398 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 1: to protect the site from some shady thieves, breaks through 399 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: the wall, releasing them. And yeah, that's the pillar scene. 400 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: That's very reminiscent of how we meet Evie in the 401 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 1: first one, right, and poor kid, I really like him, 402 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 1: but his acting is on par with the rock as well. 403 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: Just go in with that out there all the while 404 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 1: ev is having visions as if she was present during 405 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: the time of parah I was able to know where 406 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: everything is mysteriously as if she's been there before. Cut two, 407 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: we see crew of the Bad Guys and digging up 408 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: the mummy Imo Tep and the crew was led by 409 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 1: the reincarnation of Emmo Tep's love, a Nux on a moon, 410 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: who like a v is able to know where things 411 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: are without being there before. And of course they bring 412 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 1: him back to life and tried to retreat the bracelet 413 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 1: from the O'Connell's so that Emo Tip can have command 414 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: the army of a Nubis to take over the world. 415 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: Unbeknowns to all the adults, Alex has actually put the 416 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: bracelet on and started the journey of the Bracelet that 417 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: will lead them to the Scorpion King. Why does everybody 418 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: want to rule the world with these armies? I don't 419 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 1: want to tell me. Also, just just note faris that 420 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: he is the one that an Oxydo Moon Emotep killed, 421 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: so that's kind of the vision's Evis having. Alex is 422 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: then kidnapped by the Mummy and the bad the bad Dudes, 423 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: which lead all of them on a journey to get 424 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 1: to the location with Scorpion King, and we couldn't have 425 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: a good mummy adventure without magi artist Bay. He returns 426 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: Evie's brother Jonathan Um and this time we had that dirigible. 427 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,199 Speaker 1: Of course I was like, oh my god, flown by 428 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 1: an old friend of Rix is he and some shrunken 429 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: heads pigmy mummies to the mix. We also discover that 430 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: not only do we have the reincarnation of an Oxida Moon, 431 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: but Princess Nefertiti, which turns out to be Evy from 432 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 1: a past life who was the daughter of Pharas set Uh. 433 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: Yeah again an Oxida Moon and imotup kills him and 434 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 1: she she witnessed that from like a balcony away and 435 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: she is the protector of the bracelet as well. I 436 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,360 Speaker 1: guess we should also say Rick is apparently some like guardian. 437 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: Meant to look that up, but yeah, somebody he is 438 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: the guardian of He's like part of the magi think. Yeah, yeah, 439 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: some brotherhood of swords because he has a tattoo doo 440 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: as they say, And yeah, this is where my whole 441 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: dumb beetle past life test comes from. So as they 442 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: arrived to get Alex back and try to stop Scorpion King. 443 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: Eb is killed and then brought back to life through 444 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 1: the Book of the Dead, of course by Alex. She 445 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: fights a Knox in the moon while Rick is fighting 446 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: a really ridiculous looking c g I up the rock 447 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: as a scorpion king. I'm not exaggerating when I say 448 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 1: this consistently comes up on list of the worst c 449 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 1: g I at a time, especially from like a big 450 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: budget movie. I think it was like I remember seeing 451 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: this either in the theaters I can't remember, but the 452 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: audible laughter to seeing him come out of the wall 453 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: or the doors or the cave, and we were all like, what, Yeah, 454 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: that guy like appears out of nowhere, that kind of 455 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: top he was ahead of the British Museum and he's 456 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: sort of like top goon. Yeah, he sort of appears, 457 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 1: and then the Scorpion King rips him into five pieces, 458 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 1: and I was like, why is what he's got to 459 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: show strength? Yeah, they were trying to They're trying to 460 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 1: show what you could do with his little scorpion limbs. Again, 461 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: if no one's seen this, this is essentially the rock 462 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 1: with the scorpion bottom right, he's the top half is 463 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: the rock, but it's all c g I is all 464 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: badly c g I, And at this point in time, 465 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 1: there's really no excuse about how bad it was. Why 466 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: it was so bad. I'm sure that people working on 467 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 1: it would argue if you think so, I've seen But 468 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: that's the thing is, like we've seen so much better. Why, Yeah, 469 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: they're working things out back then. I don't know. I 470 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: don't know. Okay, she made the Mummy noise noise. So 471 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: as these fights are going, Evie races in, so does 472 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: the Noxia Moon. See they're kind of loves in this battle, 473 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: although Emo Tep is really throwing Rick under the bus, 474 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 1: which I get, but yeah, whatever. So Rick is able 475 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 1: to kill the Scorpion King, and Emo Tep and Rick 476 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: are both like hanging precuriously over this chasm of dead 477 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: soul essentially, and they're trying to pull them the these 478 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: souls are trying to pull Rick in Emo Tip down 479 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 1: and the whole place is collapsing. Evie runs in and 480 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 1: saves Rick, while Anoxy the Moon abandoned Inmo Tip and 481 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 1: Emo Tip is so heartbroken he lets go and presumably dies. 482 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,160 Speaker 1: Who knows. Anyway, they escape, an Oxy Moon gets eaten 483 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: by the scare beetles but Evie and Rick and Jonathan 484 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 1: all the crew escape via dirigible. Did they ever explain 485 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 1: how they fixed it and got the gas? He found 486 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: something I shouldn't ask any questions, is he is? He 487 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 1: came through? Um? Yeah, So they escape and again happily 488 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 1: ever after until the next one comes along, I guess. 489 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: And there's a third one, And in this one, we're 490 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: not going to talk anything, but I had to mention 491 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 1: it because I love it so much, just the fact 492 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: that they are now wealthy people. Yeah, and they're no 493 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: longer digging there, now retired, and they're both very bored. 494 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: And yes, Rachel Weiss is no longer there. It is 495 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: now Maria Bellows. So it's not Mummy three but the 496 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, which by away got 497 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 1: a one star rating. We only talked about the finest films. 498 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: And also twelve percent on Rotten Tomatoes, the lowest we've 499 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 1: ever hit because Hocus focused in practical magic. We're like, okay, 500 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: twelve percent on that, but three of the Google users 501 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 1: like it, so hey, hey, okay, sorry. So anyway, all 502 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: of that is say, they kind of jump into a 503 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: new one where Alex becomes an older archaeologist and is 504 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: digging in China and finds the Dragon Emperor and his 505 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: vast army in the Phils. Whatever, I'm not gonna go 506 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: do it, but it's fantastic because I do love again 507 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 1: those Asian actors, and I think they're fantastic and to 508 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: see them for just to split second is delightful. But yes, 509 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: there's a ridiculous in this, like yoh, I don't know 510 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: how Rick O'Connell could possibly beat in combat gently but 511 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 1: okay the Dragon King who was also magical and knows 512 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: a lot of martial arts, but hey, who cares? Right? 513 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,120 Speaker 1: Who cares? But yes, that one is also a franchise. 514 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: But the Mummy is no longer imotep. They've now moved 515 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: on to China. Kind of finished as this child a 516 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: little bit, but whatever, still a delight to me, a 517 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: delight and worth one watch. But I'm not a second 518 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: one to talk about. But I just have to throw 519 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: that in there. Yeah, I've only seen it once and 520 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: the only part I early remember is when it zooms 521 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: in on should be Rachel Vice and it's like it's 522 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: like I'm a whole new person or something. Her line 523 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: an English an American actor with not great English accent 524 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: say she's a whole new person, which is true. That 525 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: was one thing I noticed when I watched The Mummy Returns, 526 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: because I think I've seen that like two or three 527 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: times before, but it's been I mean since it came out. 528 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: It was it was like a classic action sequel in 529 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: the sense that everything was way bigger. And Rick O'Connell, 530 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: like I love him, but he was doing things where 531 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: I was like, Wow, you've really up to your game. 532 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: You caught the knife like over here, you're doing all 533 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: kinds of stunts. I'm very impressed. But right, and also 534 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: we're not going to talk about the side of the 535 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: there was a whole franchise of The Scorpion King. Oh yeah, 536 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: that's right. Oh boy. That was also a one and 537 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: done for me. But if you're looking for a laugh, 538 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: the Scorpion King. So all right, now that we've gone 539 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: through the plots of these and we didn't want to 540 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: talk about some themes, but first we're gonna fausse for 541 00:29:50,360 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: one more quick for word from responsor and we're back. 542 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 1: Thank you. Sponsored. So I did want to put a 543 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: disclaimer in here that maybe I should have put it 544 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: at the top, but whatever, neither of these movies, or 545 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: I guess none of these movies if we're going to count. 546 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: The third one would be a movie that pops into 547 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: my head if somebody asked me, like, name a feminist movie. 548 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 1: Like if I was trying to list feminist movies, I 549 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: might get to the Mommy, but it would be way, way, 550 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: way way down the list. But then, you know, honestly, 551 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 1: I have some trouble thinking of feminist movies when people 552 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: ask me. So I don't know, but it's definitely not 553 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: something that I would come to mind for me until 554 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: the listener suggested it. The first one doesn't pass the 555 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 1: Bechdel test, I don't think. I don't think the second 556 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: one does either. Not that that's the end all be 557 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: all of feminist movies, but of note, um, and there 558 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: are definitely some problematic things in all of them, but 559 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: there are some excellent feminist elements to particularly in the 560 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: character of Evie. So let's start with her, and I'll 561 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: be focusing on the first one. So Evie is a 562 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: really competent, smart, funny, determined, adventurous, charming, and decisive character. 563 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: Most of the plans she comes up with them on 564 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: her own, quickly, and under pressure. I also really appreciate 565 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: as she's just sort of she's really quick to anger 566 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: or to be happy, like she's just yeah, I don't know, 567 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: fiery or so, I don't know. I like it. She 568 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: is feminine in a dress and with her long hair, 569 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 1: but that doesn't hold her back. She still has a 570 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: lot of agency and in a flip, her brother Jonathan 571 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: is the mess up in their family. Although it's kind 572 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: of funny because, especially in the beginning, I feel like 573 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: there's this vibe where I guess she thinks she's the 574 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: screwup in the family, but compared to Jonathan, she's definitely not. 575 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: Evie is the one that gets to I'm notch at first. 576 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: She's the one that I had to stop the mummy 577 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 1: after she brought him back, but she accepts her fault 578 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: in that she's the one to correctly translate something from 579 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: the Bembage scholars that that they had messed up, and 580 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: this is all after they consistently rejected her. She's the 581 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 1: one that helps Jonathan translate an Egyptian inscription that saves them, 582 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: and this is while she's being attacked and strangled by 583 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: an ox Sooner moons mummified half alive corpse. You know, 584 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: there's that distracting And I love her reaction when Jonathan 585 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: accidentally drops the Book of the Living into that pool 586 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: and as the city is collapsing, she stops and it's like, 587 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 1: what have you done? They have to drag her away 588 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: because she's just so passionate about these things. She's a scholar. Yeah, 589 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: and Evie generally serves as the leader of the group. Obviously, 590 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 1: she's the one that that's like, we need to go 591 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: dig here instead of here, Let's do this this way. 592 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 1: And Rick is the muscle, you know. Even in the 593 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: second one, she does the same thing. She leads them 594 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: towards they need to go, and she's like, here, you know, 595 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 1: start working. And then he uses the bigger tools because 596 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 1: of course he's something and he's comfortable in that position 597 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: and comfortable following her lead. The only time Rick takes 598 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: the lead is during physical situations or obviously when Evie's 599 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 1: not there, and he he pretty much listens to her 600 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 1: and trust her, follows her lead without complaint, and when 601 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 1: they do disagree or argue, they do as equals. So 602 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 1: that's nice. Yeah, yeah, And I mean it is funny 603 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 1: because she is the leader and often, especially in the 604 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: second one, which again I hadn't seen a very long time, 605 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: but he's like, are you do we have to do this? 606 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: And she's like, she's just so adventurous and passionate about 607 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: these things, and he's kind of resigned to Okay, okay, 608 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: I guess. And I would argue that the first movie 609 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: especially is driven by her, and Rick just follows her. 610 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 1: I think she You could make a good argument that 611 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 1: she's the main character. At the very least. They kind 612 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: of share that role of main characters. Um and even 613 00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 1: when Evie is the damsel in distress in the in 614 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 1: the first one, it is by choice to give the 615 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: group the best chance of success. She's not the passive victim. 616 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 1: She is not cowed during her imprisonment. She does use 617 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 1: her femininity to kiss Imo Tep and distract him from 618 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: killing her friends. She threatens in box Binny, which I 619 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 1: do love. That seems she's like always He's like, no, no. 620 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 1: She helps her brother translate the inscription while she's being attacked, 621 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 1: and she's the one that reads the passage that renders 622 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: the Mummy as mortal and allows Rick to kill him. Right. 623 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: And then the second one, they do blame her for 624 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 1: killing Mo Tup and that's why they kidnap her, because 625 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: they won't revenge against her. They could care less about Rick. 626 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 1: They obviously blame her, as they should, as well as 627 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 1: the fact that when you look at the second one 628 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: is her and a Naxana Moon, who are the protectors 629 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: of pretty much the realm, whether it's the racelet or 630 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,760 Speaker 1: the Pharaoh. They protect and they are chosen to protect 631 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: and fight, So it's kind of interesting to ticket that. 632 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,439 Speaker 1: And and yes, she actually gets to fight a little 633 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 1: bit in this one where she has some sword play 634 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 1: and play. It was size even of course it was 635 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 1: very obvious it wasn't her during those scenes. Was still 636 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 1: nice to think on um and of golf. Of course, 637 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:14,839 Speaker 1: we could also talk about the constant use of white 638 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 1: women with dark hair for characters like Nepfortini and Cleopatra, 639 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 1: but that's a whole other conversation because she's supposed to 640 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: be a lineage of that in English as well, from 641 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,319 Speaker 1: what I understood from the first one, right, her mother 642 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 1: was Egyptian and her father was English. Yeah, but you know, 643 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: whatever they know, we know all know. This has to 644 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: be a stretch to tie things together perfectly. To bring 645 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 1: it to one. But yes, in both movies that she 646 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 1: also saves Rick, whether she saved him from the gallows 647 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 1: or she saves him from the pen of hell obviously, 648 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,760 Speaker 1: so she is the hero in both of these things. 649 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 1: They also still follow her footsteps in the second one, 650 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 1: and she even has her maternal instincts as a drive 651 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: and a push for this one as well to get 652 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 1: her son back. So yeah, you know, she she's the 653 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 1: main character. I would agree with that. Yeah, I definitely 654 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 1: think so. She's the leader for sure, absolutely. And I 655 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 1: did wanna talk about the relationship aspect between ev and Rick, 656 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,720 Speaker 1: because Rick is clearly attracted to more than just her looks, 657 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:20,440 Speaker 1: which is unfortunately kind of rare in these adventure action 658 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:24,280 Speaker 1: adventure movies. He gives her the tools that he stole 659 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 1: because he knows that she's passionate about what she does 660 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 1: and good at what she does, and he wants her 661 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 1: to be able to lead them and find what she 662 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,839 Speaker 1: wants to find. And Rick doesn't pursue romance with her 663 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 1: like most male characters from these adventure movies do. Um, 664 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,799 Speaker 1: he isn't showing off for her. He's just kind of 665 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 1: this consistent, capable, respectful kind tender and in the way 666 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,879 Speaker 1: that he follows her and respects her. Um. That's really 667 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 1: allowed in male characters in this genre. Um. And also 668 00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,600 Speaker 1: you do see, like as we mentioned when we were 669 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:04,400 Speaker 1: doing the symnopsis, you see Eve kind of pining after him, 670 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,359 Speaker 1: which is rare to like normally, it's just like it's 671 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,920 Speaker 1: the guy's perspective and he and she's just over the 672 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:14,319 Speaker 1: moon about him and so smitten with him, and it's 673 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 1: very one dimensional. But in this she's like, it's equally. 674 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 1: You can tell that they're both charmed equally by each other, 675 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 1: which is nice and yeah, pretty pretty rare for this 676 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,799 Speaker 1: genre really, especially at that time, right. And it does 677 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,480 Speaker 1: continue in the second one. You do see them build 678 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:38,920 Speaker 1: on that, on this trust and uh like loving and 679 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,239 Speaker 1: care and being on this equal ground and having their 680 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 1: like areas of expertise right where they trust that their 681 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 1: partner to handle this part of it or this part 682 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: of it, and the very accepting of each other, I 683 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,400 Speaker 1: would say, right, I think, yeah, in the second one, 684 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:57,319 Speaker 1: you definitely see the relationship of them compromising because they 685 00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 1: do still go on adventures. They do go on dangerous 686 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:05,319 Speaker 1: site digging, but she gives in by saying let's not 687 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,239 Speaker 1: go to the next one now, let's go ahead and 688 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 1: stay here. And of course they also have to add 689 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: that the Bembridge scholars have been begging her of course 690 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 1: for them now, so that did equal out. We do 691 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,360 Speaker 1: get to see all of that. You see the conversations 692 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 1: they have as parents, but at the same time still 693 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,400 Speaker 1: being madly in love. So of course they have the 694 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,920 Speaker 1: one up that one as well, so it is good 695 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,760 Speaker 1: to see that type of relationship. We also see Jonathan 696 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 1: still being a rake, as they would say, I've been 697 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 1: watching Bridger danni'all. It's is sleeping that language is sleeping in. 698 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 1: But yeah, so you see that as well, and I 699 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 1: found that really of course on par like with everything else, 700 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 1: his greed and his playboy acting, I guess. But it 701 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,799 Speaker 1: is also fun to see their relationships still intact and 702 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:57,719 Speaker 1: him being pretty childish still and them kind of taking 703 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 1: care of him. Yeah, troublemaker for sure, and I did. 704 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,279 Speaker 1: I did appreciate that you get to see Evie and 705 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 1: Rick separately as being I would say, good parents are 706 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:14,000 Speaker 1: very caring parents, like protective, so you do like it's 707 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 1: kind of understood often that you're going to see the 708 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 1: mother and those maternal instincts, but you did with Rick. 709 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 1: You really saw him being protective and the paternal protective 710 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 1: instincts too, so that was nice. And yeah, you do 711 00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 1: have the comparison of because this whole thing starts with 712 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:37,320 Speaker 1: a Knox, Suda Moon and Amo Tep trying to be together, 713 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 1: although I guess now after the second one you could 714 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 1: argue that Anoxia Moon really wanted power and ultimately and 715 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,360 Speaker 1: that moment and the end of the second one where 716 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: Evie and Anoxiner Moon are watching there, their husband's like, 717 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm anox Moon is married Tomoti, 718 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 1: but you know, lovers in danger and Evie decides to 719 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:03,160 Speaker 1: save Rick and Anoximon flees. I always thought that part 720 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,760 Speaker 1: was interesting, that there's like which one is the true 721 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,359 Speaker 1: love and that you, you know, you still have this 722 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,480 Speaker 1: sort of an Oxymon throughout is kind of painted as 723 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 1: this power player who's got something else going on, which 724 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 1: is pretty common among female villains. Right. The thing is, 725 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 1: like the first one, she was not the villain. She 726 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,759 Speaker 1: was definitely someone you felt sorry for because we don't see. 727 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 1: What we don't see is that the pharaoh is kind 728 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 1: of evil, like he keeps her as a slave essentially, 729 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,400 Speaker 1: like he calls her protector and we talked about that. 730 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 1: But essentially she has no choice because we know that 731 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,840 Speaker 1: her body paint is to show her purity, that she 732 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 1: would only be touched by him, and so she was 733 00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:42,759 Speaker 1: in love with another man. So it's kind of a 734 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:44,759 Speaker 1: sad story in itself, but at the same time, it's 735 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 1: don't become a mommy and kill everyone else the moral 736 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 1: of the story. That's not cool. The moral of the story. 737 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:55,960 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I think we could end on that. Thanks 738 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,919 Speaker 1: again to the listener who suggested this and the blood 739 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,600 Speaker 1: post lean in Reddress. I know that that blog post 740 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,240 Speaker 1: was written after another podcast really tore into this movie 741 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 1: for not being feminist, So we're just presenting a different 742 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:15,320 Speaker 1: point of view. We know it's not the most feminist. 743 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 1: It's definitely not the most feminist, but it is enjoyable 744 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:20,959 Speaker 1: and there are some things to take away from for sure. 745 00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,640 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and like I said at the top, Evie 746 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:27,080 Speaker 1: still holds up. Evie is still a pretty great character. 747 00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 1: So if you haven't seen it, we highly recommend it. 748 00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,360 Speaker 1: Samantha recommends the other two as well. Go for it. 749 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 1: Just go ahead and enjoy it. Enjoy I get your 750 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:40,239 Speaker 1: favorite drink.
