WEBVTT
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:04.639
Gentlemen, do you smell what the rock is clawing?
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:08.800
It's the mummy returns coming up next on least important things.
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:45.520
The mummy returns.
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:02.880
Welcome to a podcast called Least Important Things, a show about movies, friendship, and finding meaning in the most important of the least important things.
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:04.239
I'm your host, Luke Ferris.
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:12.400
In today's episode, Yes Friends, we are uncovering the 2001 sequel of the mummy for our special rewatch series.
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:14.480
It's the mummy returns.
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:19.680
And of course, we have some returning guests that look nervous to talk about this film.
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:26.640
Joining me on the mummy cast, as we're calling it, uh, is my theme park connoisseur, Mike Wynn.
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:27.680
Mike Wynn, welcome back.
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:28.799
Yeah, happy to be back.
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:29.920
Thanks for returning.
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:33.040
I almost wore my uh Universal Studio shirt.
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:34.159
Oh, that would have been good.
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:36.400
We're gonna talk about some theme parks a little later on.
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:37.040
We're really excited.
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:46.560
And of course, we uh brought back our our our beautiful friend who's typically here for notorious sequels.
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:48.640
Yeah, and Zach Hall, welcome back.
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:52.480
Uh, this one might be the best notorious sequel of them all.
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:54.640
This this one's gonna be one of the tops.
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:58.879
Yeah, this is the top one for all of my reviews of everything.
00:01:59.200 --> 00:01:59.760
Um, yeah.
00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:02.959
Is it possible that this is the least important of the least important?
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:04.959
Yes, definitely the least important of all of them.
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:06.879
That is actually a good post.
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:08.000
Thanks for having me on, by the way.
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:08.400
Yes.
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:10.639
I didn't know if your viewers knew that I had a bottom half.
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:11.520
You yeah, you do.
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:12.800
You have a bottom half.
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:17.759
Yeah, if you're watching on YouTube or on Apple Podcasts, both Mike and Zach are here in the studio.
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:18.319
We're thrilled.
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:20.240
Zach's been here before, but first time recording.
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:20.639
Yes.
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:22.560
Um, and you brought your your the bottom half.
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:24.479
I brought it with me, yes, and then put it on.
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:25.039
The better half.
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:25.599
The better half.
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:27.599
Some would say the better half.
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:32.800
Um, we also have a long time uh I would say behind the scenes.
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:33.520
Oh, look at this.
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:34.719
This is hilarious.
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:35.919
He's got it.
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:36.560
Well long time.
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:38.319
I hope that was an important rip.
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:39.280
No, no, it's not important.
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:40.159
It's actually not.
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:40.639
It's not.
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:41.840
But he's doing advertising.
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:42.400
Incredible.
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:43.599
He's advertising the podcast.
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:44.800
No, it's fine.
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:46.080
He's gonna be mad.
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:54.159
Long time producer of the show actually was uh part of Two Beers Two Nerds, a defunct podcast that's kind of started years ago.
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:55.120
Yes, yes.
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:56.879
Our producer, Winston, is is here.
00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:58.400
Winston, what are your thoughts?
00:02:58.560 --> 00:02:59.680
Yes, tell us.
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:02.800
I agree, I agree.
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:04.000
We've come a long way.
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:06.960
We've come a long way since that very small apartment.
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.639
This will take a this will have to be cut out soon.
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:11.280
No, it won't.
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:13.120
We're very we'll keep it all in, keep it all in.
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:14.639
I'm very happy to have Winston here.
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:15.360
Thank you for joining us.
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:18.080
I'm a longtime producer who's thrilled to be here.
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:18.240
Yeah.
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:20.080
I'm thrilled to talk about the mummy.
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:29.599
In honor of the return of the mummy, in honor of Winston, in honor of a very special movie star that launched his career in this film.
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:37.039
I thought we could have a beverage that is created by said star, The Rock, Dwayne The Rock Johnson.
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.199
This is his tequila, teramana.
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:41.280
This is an Anyeho tequila.
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:43.199
Now, there's no pressure to drink a lot of this.
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:43.520
Okay.
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:45.199
There's a little pressure to drink a little.
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:50.000
I have some mugs that we can put this, and I brought ice as well, so you can put a little ice.
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:50.879
Thank you.
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:56.080
In honor of the rock, I felt like we should drink a little teramana tequila.
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:56.479
Okay.
00:03:56.639 --> 00:04:01.520
I was gonna start the podcast upside down in my chair, but I will end it instead.
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:05.520
So there's a little terramanopour.
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:06.080
Wow.
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:06.479
Okay.
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:07.840
That's a that's a gentleman's pour.
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:09.199
That was a gentleman's pour, right?
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:10.639
It's a terramanopour.
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:11.520
Okay.
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:15.039
Do you like ice?
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.199
Uh oh, just one QB, please.
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:18.160
I appreciate it.
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:18.560
Thank you.
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:19.680
Teramana.
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:20.560
Terramana.
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:21.120
Wow.
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:21.680
Okay.
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:27.120
I do a little ice in mine, and we are drinking these in our uh fake corporation mugs in honor of the show.
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:27.439
Yes.
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:29.680
You can put I put a little lime in mine.
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:30.399
I think that's nice.
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:32.319
Let the record reflect I hate tequila.
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:32.720
Yes.
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:34.399
I figured you both don't like tequila.
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:35.759
I would care of tequila.
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:36.879
I had a lot of tequila back.
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:40.000
Yes, I I think the good old days.
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:43.920
This is this is soaked in whiskey barrels, so it's the closest tequila I could get to that.
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:46.800
But in honor of rock, the movie star, cheers.
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:48.000
Yes, cheers, gentlemen.
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:48.560
Cheers.
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:50.959
I like these mugs, by the way.
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:52.639
Oh, that's good.
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:53.199
That's good.
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:54.480
Oh, thank goodness for lime.
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:56.240
Taste like scorpions.
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:57.360
Tastes like scorpions.
00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:58.480
Not like scorpions.
00:04:58.720 --> 00:04:59.120
Do you agree?
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:00.480
Not as bad as I thought.
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:04.240
I figured the whiskey-aged barrel stuff would be good.
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:04.879
Yeah.
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:06.480
What do you think, Winston?
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:07.360
What do you think?
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:07.920
Yes.
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:10.879
Well, friends, before we get started, thank you for joining us.
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:14.000
Uh, thank you for returning to the mummy returns and the mummy cast.
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:15.600
Um, if you're here, you're in for it.
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:21.120
If you had if you didn't listen to the first episode about the mummy, uh, wow, welcome.
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:22.879
Uh, this is gonna be a journey.
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:25.279
Uh, if you have, thank you for joining us.
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:31.199
Um, before we get into the nitty-gritty, but we want to just say uh we're really excited to do this.
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:34.959
This is we haven't done a rewatch series in a long time, and uh we're we're loving it.
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:36.399
So we're gonna continue this on.
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:40.720
Obviously, this is the second of the third uh three movies in the trilogy.
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:47.120
Uh, we will also be doing a fourth where we we actually just decided this where we're going to literally two minutes before this.
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:58.000
We're going to instead of doing the Tom Cruise one, instead of doing all the Scorpion King sequels, uh, instead of doing the original mummy, we're gonna divide and conquer and kind of do homework and come back.
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:05.279
So it's going to be all the other mummy properties, all the other movies in this universal mummy properties, and then we're gonna talk about it.
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.759
So yeah, uh, that's gonna be kind of like where we're headed.
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:10.240

Um, when's the last time you guys have been on a blimp or a zeppelin um and done a journey across uh ancient lands?
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:53.519
I actually have an actual story about this.
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:54.160
You do?
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:54.720
Yeah.
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:56.160
I this is not planned.
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:58.959
Yeah, I've actually so in in Turkey, yes.
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:00.319
I have a Turkey.
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:02.160
That's the pr that's how you pronounce it.
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:02.399
Yep.
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:03.279
Oh, got it cool.
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:04.240
Um I didn't know.
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:07.199
I think they were uh I've I've been podcasts.
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:11.360
You know, they didn't like being the second top Google search uh for Turkey.
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:12.319
Okay, gotcha.
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:13.439
That's bad.
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:23.759
Um but when I I've been to Turkey a couple times, I have friends there, and um in the middle of the country, there's a national park, Gorme National Park or whatever.
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:27.439
It's a massive national park, and it's where Cappadocia is.
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:36.960
And Cappadocia is famously one of the things that like Turkey is known globally for are their hot air balloon rides at sunrise.
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:49.919
So I have actually done a hot air balloon ride um in Gorome, uh, where you know we got up at two o'clock in the morning and got bus to a field where they blew up a hot air balloon and we went up.
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:52.720
Yeah, they blew it up.
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:54.879
Okay, gas powered.
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:55.600
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:56.480
Gas powered.
00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:00.720
And so so uh and I'm I was actually very scared of this.
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:02.240
I wouldn't be scared, I'd be terrified.
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:07.919
But uh it was one of the smoothest like rides ever.
00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:11.759
It was it was it was it was actually a very amazing experience.
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:19.279
And if you're ever in Turkey, I think this is like one of the coolest things you could do traveling ever.
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.159
And we learned that it's quiet too, so it's good for sneak attacks.
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:23.120
Very quiet.
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:30.559
I mean, it's like still and quiet, and the the pilot that we had is like a legitimate, like that's that's his job.
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:35.840
Like his job is to pilot airplanes, to pilot hot air balloons, to yeah.
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:40.080
Now, how many people were planning on proposing that day, like out of the group?
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:42.399
Because there's a lot that go off all at once, right?
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:43.600
Oh yeah, yeah.
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:48.000
There was like there was hundreds of every other person like about to give a do a proposal.
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:51.679
No, there was actually a lot of uh there it's so funny you asked.
00:09:51.759 --> 00:10:15.360
The uh thanks for asking by the um uh what actually is kind of a like a reasonably large or relatively large business in that area is people will travel um from neighboring countries and regions to uh uh Turkey, which is strategically located, like you have Asia, the Middle East, yeah, um, and Europe all kind of there.
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:19.360
And um this is a very very like Instagrammable place.
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:19.759
Uh-huh.
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:42.639
And so people will act people actually own dress rental businesses in town, and you will you can rent like really nice dresses and then take them on your photo shoot, whether you're gonna be in an air uh in a blimp um or hot air balloon, or just having it as a backdrop, or having yeah, the whole skyline as a backdrop.
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:51.039
And so we were so as we were in there, as we were in this hot air balloon, there were people um in different sections because it's like there's like nine sections in the hot air balloon.
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:54.399
There were people in there who were you know taking photos and everything.
00:10:54.480 --> 00:11:14.480
It was kind of chilly that early in the morning, but then also as we were going up and down throughout Gorome, there were people there was there was I mean, does hundreds, maybe even thousands of people just in different areas of the national parks taking photo shoots where their backdrop they're on the ground, their backdrop is me.
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:15.840
It's you, yeah.
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:22.080
It's the biggest photo bomb in human history, just sitting there, just sitting there, just like his letterbox.
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:23.840
Yeah, just really letterbox program.
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:25.840
Look, if you're listening and you're like, what is going on?
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:26.799
I've never heard of this.
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:34.000
If you just Google Cappadocia hot air balloons or turkey hot air balloons, I mean this is like it's this is a very famous thing.
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:34.480
Yeah.
00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:41.039
No, I would like them to have a rental shop where you can get uh the costumes from Mummy Two Mummy Returns.
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:43.440
Uh so Brendan Fraser and Rachel Vise, you could dress up.
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:47.600
I would like to dress up as Rachel Vise, yes.
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:48.799
Well, thank you.
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:56.159
I did not expect that we were gonna have a hot air balloon corner here on the podcast, but that's just the scratching the surface of what could possibly happen today.
00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:02.480
I honestly I think that's more content than uh we might have for the rest of this episode, so it might replace everything.
00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:03.440
It's a good filler.
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:05.919
All right, let's move on to back of the VHS.
00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:09.840
Now, this is the segment where let's just say it's 2001.
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:24.799
Um, it is a a summer's day like today, a beautiful summer's day, but you want to watch a film as a family or with your friends, and maybe you're at a local blockbuster or video store and you're walking down the aisles, and you say, Hey, they made another mummy.
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:26.240
I really love the mummy.
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:27.600
Such a good movie.
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:32.639
So you take uh that box and you flip it around, and this is what you would read, Michael.
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:34.720
Oh, yeah, we give it to him, right?
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:35.360
Yes.
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:42.639
The year's biggest action adventure is coming home with a vengeance.
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:54.799
Brendan Fasier and an all-star cast reunite with Steven Summers for explosive non-stop thrills in the ultimate roller coaster movie ride from the Seattle Post intelligence.
00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:58.639
Wow, the Seattle Post.
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.919
They made it in the back of the uh the back of the VHS.
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:12.720
An ancient legacy of terror is unleashed when an accursed mummy, Emotep, played by Arnold Volslo, is resurrected along with a force even more powerful.
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:15.600
The Scorpion King, the Rock.
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:16.720
Just the Rock.
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:19.759
Yeah, not Dwayne, not Dwayne, yeah.
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:36.879
Now, as fate of now, as the fate of all mankind hangs in the balance, Rick O'Connell, played by Brendan Fraser, and his wife Evie, played by Rachel Wise, embark on a daring, desperate race to save their son and the world from unspeakable evil.
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:39.200
We'll get into why it's unspeakable.
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:46.399
Supercharged and pulse pounding action and spectacular special effects that'll blow you away.
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:50.960
The Mummy Returns is the best adventure movie of the year.
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:52.559
Uh MTV Radio.
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:53.840
Beautiful, Mike.
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:55.679
Thank you for sharing the back of the VHS.
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:58.960
I like that one because it was uh it mentioned roller coasters, so I thought you would like that one.
00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:03.600
Yeah, yeah, I also they put uh the rock on the back because the rock doesn't have speaking roles.
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:05.440
Dwayne would have speaking roles, Dwayne would.
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:09.039
He's just a character who just makes noises.
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:09.519
Yes.
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:12.320
Now I think that's a pretty that's accurate of what the plot is.
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:15.360
And you're like, okay, that seems like a very basic, straightforward plot.
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:17.759
Maybe not so much once we get into it.
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:18.159
Yeah.
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:19.039
All right.
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:21.279
Is there any description of plot in there?
00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:23.440
Well, um yeah, save the world.
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:24.559
Save the world.
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:27.039
Yeah, big heavy hitter knockout fight.
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:28.320
They're kind of previewing it there.
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:29.600
Is that plot?
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:33.759
Uh we just it's more of this like name-dropping.
00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:36.159
Have you guys seen there's a popular book?
00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:39.440
Um you can go online and look it up.
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:42.320
Uh, the title of the book is The Plot.
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:43.519
Oh, that's good.
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.399
And it's a it's like a satire, right?
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:47.039
Oh, really?
00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:48.080
And there's a sequel.
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:49.360
You want to know what the name is?
00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:50.080
Plot twist.
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:52.240
No, that would be hilarious.
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:52.720
No.
00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:53.759
The setting?
00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:54.879
No, the sequel.
00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:55.600
The sequel.
00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:55.840
Cool.
00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:56.320
Nice.
00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:56.960
Nice.
00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:05.039
Well, this is a sequel, and it is directed and written by Steven Summers, and it is starring Brendan Frazier, Rachel Vise, John Hannah, Arnold Volslo.
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:06.480
These are all returners.
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:08.559
Um Patricia Vele.
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:09.840
Oh, this is gonna be tough.
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:10.159
Okay.
00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:14.240
Um Patricia, who did Achmaur?
00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:14.960

Um Freddie Both as Alex, uh, Oded Fair uh Fahir returns as Arthur Bay.
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:23.679
Um, and then we have some newcomers.

Um, the the guy the bad guy from The Born Identity as Lakna.
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:32.720
I cannot say his name.
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:33.279
I'm so sorry.
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:34.159
Isn't it Mr.
00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:34.960
Echo too?
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:38.799
Yes, and he's in he's in everything, uh, especially at this time.
00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:41.919
Like he's about to be in everything that you love.
00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:51.840
Um Sean Parks as Izzy, and then this says Dwayne Johnson in IMDB, but it is the rock as the Scorpion King.
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:54.080
All right, onto facts that you can fact check.
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:55.840
I'm not gonna do the work for you.
00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:59.360
The Mummy Returns was released on May 4th, 2001.
00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:06.960
That weekend, you could have also seen Driven, Bridget Jones's Diary, Spy Kids, and Along Came the first Spy Kids?
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:07.679
The first spy cast.
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:09.120
Can we do a rewatch for spy kids?
00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:09.840
Yeah, that would be good.
00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:10.320
That's pretty great.
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:11.279
Spy cast?
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:11.840
Yeah.
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:13.279
That's great.
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:14.559
Spy Kids is really good.
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:15.919
I haven't watched in a long time.
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:16.480
That would be fun.
00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:18.320
The film's budget was 98 million.
00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:24.320
The film's budget was 98 million, and it went on to gross an incredible 436 million worldwide.
00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:26.159
Briefly setting home video recording.
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:27.200
How much worldwide?
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:28.080
436.
00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:28.799
And what was the budget?
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:29.200
98.
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:29.840
98.
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:30.639
This movie did.
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:32.080
Why are people watching it?
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:34.240
So we've talked about this in our other franchises.
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:37.679
If a the first movie does well, the second movie always does better.
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:42.320
Doesn't matter about the quality because people are buying tickets based on the first movie.
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:45.519
It's just like how in the Pirates movies, like stop.
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:47.519
The second Pirates movie was good.
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:49.039
We don't have time for that.
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:55.200
But it also like it kind of jumps into another genre because it becomes like not just a horror movie in the second one.
00:16:55.279 --> 00:17:01.360
It you bring your family after the first one because you know it's like PG 13 enough for your kids to go.
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:03.759
So it definitely became like a family movie the second round.
00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:05.599
So bring your kids, enjoy that.
00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:07.680
And also, like it's a pretty good international film, too.
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:09.119
Yeah, and the VHS aspect.
00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:11.359
Like because of the multilingual.
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:11.599
Yeah.
00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:13.519
Because multilingual.
00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:14.799
Yeah, it's really inclusive.
00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:16.079
It has all these languages that come out.
00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:20.400
Yeah, a lot of languages that you actually would understand outside of this country.
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:20.960
You're right.
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:21.680
Yeah.
00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:26.799
The much criticized digital effects, we're just getting right into it, of the Scorpion King.
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:34.799
If you haven't seen this movie, um, yes, the criticized at the time because I okay Yes, uh, was rushed.
00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:38.400
Uh they only completed it eight days before the film's release.
00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:41.200
Eight days before the film's release.
00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:42.160
Eight days?
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:42.799
Yes.
00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:44.240
Oh my god.
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:45.839
How did they ship the movie then?
00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:46.640
I don't know.
00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:53.599
Uh Mike, how would you describe the CGI of the rock in the finale sequence, uh Battle Royale at the end of the movie?
00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:57.599
They did a really good job of trying to make sure the close-ups were still shots.
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:02.480
The smoothest skin for a scorpion king ever.
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:05.519
It is when we talked about it in the first episode.
00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:08.640
The mummy holds up pretty well from a CGI standpoint.
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:14.559
The CGI of the rock, he is, it's the rock's much as we mentioned Zach brought his bottom half.
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:14.720
Yep.
00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:17.119
The rock brought his top half.
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:17.279
Yeah.
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:19.599
And it doesn't really look like the rock, but it is.
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:20.559
It's supposed to be the rock.
00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:21.279
It looks like the rock.
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:21.920
It's got muscles.
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:23.039
And then it's the rock.
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:24.400
A scorpion body.
00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:24.880
Yes.
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:27.039
It's one of the most frightening things you would ever see.
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:29.519
Did did ILM do the no?
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:31.920
Did they do they did the mummy though, didn't they?
00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:32.480
I don't know.
00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:34.000
We have to do you can't.
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:35.279
I think you said that MLS.
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:35.680
Yeah.
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:36.240
Did I?
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:36.559
Okay.
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:39.359
I'm not going to fact check your back.
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:41.359
I'm not going to do the work for you.
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:46.079
Um, Brednan Frazier tore his spinal disc, cracked a rib, and injured his knees during production.
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:52.960
Dwayne Johnson suffered from food poisoning and sunstroke, and he lost over 10 tones and 10 pounds and said it was the worst I've ever felt in my life.
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:54.079
Food poisoning from what?
00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:54.960
Eating sand?
00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:55.759
I guess so.
00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:57.759
In order to keep his scorpions.
00:18:58.079 --> 00:18:59.039
Yeah, when he ate that scorpion.
00:18:59.279 --> 00:18:59.920
Oh, he ate that scorpion.
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:03.200
That's not food poisoning, that's scorpion poisoning.
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:11.599
In order to keep his smooth, smooth body hairless, Arnold Volslo had his entire body shaved twice a day.
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:12.319
What?
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:12.640
Yeah.
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:13.279
Whoa.
00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:14.160
Twice a day.
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:17.119
Originally he tried waxing, but he couldn't stand the pain.
00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:19.359
Um, that's called doing it for the for the movie.
00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:21.359
Dude, that's like razor bum scalar.
00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:24.480
Oh man, Demotep uh doing it for the for the the cleaning.
00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:26.319
So the CGI of the razor bumps.
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:26.799
Yeah.
00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:28.880
Wait, did he not do that in the first one then?
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:30.000
I'm sure he did it in the first one.
00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:31.359
Well they didn't have to.
00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:31.680
Yeah.
00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:33.599
That's why they did that's why they did one scene.
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:35.200
Yeah, one scene where he has skin.
00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:36.160
That's why they killed him off.
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:38.640
Yeah, they're like, that's too much shavy.
00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:44.880
Uh Freddie the kid was a huge I don't believe this, but well, this is Freddie was a huge fan of the mummy.
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:47.519
He had seen it over 30 times, he proclaims.
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:54.240
He passed on the opportunity to play in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone to participate in this movie because the mummy was one of his favorite movies.
00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:58.000
He also knew so much that he became a consultant on the first film.
00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:00.000
He knows every line and detail from the movie.
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:04.480
When anyone on the set of the mummy returns needed to know something about the first movie, they asked him.
00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:07.200
It was his first professional acting job and his last.
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:09.440
And I think that's why is this like Bat Kid?
00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:10.160
Like he was about to die.
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:19.039
I think this is someone who was interviewed on a podcast 15 years later and is making up that he was going to be cast in Harry Potter.
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:20.640
I think this is Tall Tales.
00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:24.400
Has an IMDB profile that can edit things and add stuff to the trivia.
00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:28.799
Yes, I think this is a someone who's working the cons and making it.
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:30.559
Yeah, what's the source on that?
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:32.240
Uh you can check the facts.
00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:42.319
I but but this is a classic with uh a lot of these genre movies, is like, yeah, a child actor, like they are not real reliable narrators.
00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:46.640
Yeah, especially for something that isn't popular, they want to that's the best one to claim.
00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:51.039
Yeah, they're like, I am the mummy too guy, and I can I can go to Kevin.
00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:58.559
My favorite is when you get the uh like the sweet the kids who did the sweet life and the sweet life on deck who are those life is Zach and Cody.
00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:01.200
Zach and Cody, I forget the Zach and Cody, yeah.
00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:08.960
The Sprouses, the Sprouses, the Sprouses, yeah, um, I mean, look, Disney stars, Disney Child Stars, whatever, but but sometimes I'm just like I'm really excited.
00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:10.799
You guys weren't five.
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:13.920
Like you you did have some agency.
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:17.279
I love you going over going at the Sprouse trees.
00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:18.240
Yeah, going at the Sprouse.
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:23.039
It's not just about that, it's the whole thing.
00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:23.920
It's a whole thing.
00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:32.319
The battle sequence and the Con O Man, uh the Conal Manor was originally supposed to be set in a casino owned by Jonathan, which I actually think would be cool.
00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:33.279
That would be really cool.
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:37.920
But the budget constraints meant that the house used at do you know what that house was also in?
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:42.240
I did peep at the trivia, so I was The Omen nineteen seventy six was that house.
00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:43.440
I have so many questions.
00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:44.640
So hold on.
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:51.359
You're saying that there were budget constraints, so we couldn't be in a casino.
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:58.480
So instead we're in a four hundred thousand square foot house that we ruin unreliable shoot through doors.
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:06.559
Um Ardeth Bey is the only person in the film who refers to Imotep as the creature, which I love when he says that.
00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:14.720
This is explained in the novelization of the film, which also states that Ardeth uh fears even referring to Imotep by name.
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:20.319
Uh Ardeth Bey in the novel overcomes this unease and reluctantly infers him as Immitap.
00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:24.640
I'm kind of glad the novelization goes into Ardeth because I actually have a problem with Ardeth in this movie.
00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:25.200
Oh, really?
00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:26.640
I don't do not enjoy it.
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:28.240
We love novelization.
00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:29.599
So I need to know what was going on.
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:30.400
I want to read the novel.
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:33.200
So novelization is in like a novel.
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:39.119
Universal commissioned an author to make a book after the movie was produced.
00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:41.359
Did you listen to my novelization episode?
00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:43.759
No.
00:22:43.920 --> 00:22:45.839
Okay, you could take it a list and it'll explain a lot.
00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:46.880
You'll learn a lot.
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:49.599
I don't have any actually down here.
00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:51.759
We have all of our novelizations near the TV.
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:57.440
Audrey Audrey organized them, so all of the book books with adaptations or novelizations.
00:22:57.680 --> 00:22:58.079
But that's different.
00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:02.240
So a book with an adaptation to a movie is different than a the what you're describing.
00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:03.759
That's what I was trying to understand.
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:04.160
Yes.
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:05.279
So so a novelization.
00:23:05.599 --> 00:23:08.400
Sorry, Luke, I don't listen to every freaking word that comes out of your mouth.
00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:22.720
In the director's commentary for the film, Rider Director Steven Severs expressed that the idea of the Scorpion King keeping stones carving directions of how to kill him and the cypher was ridiculous.
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:24.559
So I'm glad at least he was self-aware.
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:27.759
And then according, I don't know if you knew this, guys.
00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:29.440
We might have to add this to our list.
00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:29.839
Okay.
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:32.720
The mummy, the animated series.
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:33.279
What?
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:35.119
Yeah, I uh yeah, it exists.
00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:35.599
I watched it.
00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:42.240
Magi was created by Amar, the son of the Pharaoh's bodyguard, and it also reaffirmed that the Magi have been around for 3,000 years.
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:44.480
Um so go check out Mummy, the animated series.
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:47.599
He has Brennan Fraser has blonde hair in it.
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:48.480
Interesting.
00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:49.440
Yeah, okay.
00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:52.079
So look, I'm new to the whole mummy thing.
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:53.279
Like I knew about the movies and everything.
00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:55.839
I had seen the mummy and I'd seen the Tom Cruise one.
00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:56.720
Oh, the rides.
00:23:56.960 --> 00:23:57.119
Yes.
00:23:57.599 --> 00:23:58.000
And the rides.
00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:00.319
So so yeah, in the ride, yeah, whatever.
00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:02.240
So I'm familiar with the franchise.
00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:10.559
The more we get into this, the more it seems like Universal upon completing building Universal Studios Florida.
00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:10.960
Yes.
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:18.799
They looked at what they their IP and they looked at what Disney had and they were like, We need something.
00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:22.720
Can we spend billions of dollars on something?
00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:25.279
Like, can we find something to spend money on?
00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:26.160
To spend money on.
00:24:26.240 --> 00:25:01.519
And the because because we're gonna get into, I mean, there's spin-offs, there's an animated series, there's novelizations, like it really seems like there should be there's gotta be some uh something out there, some like um some un what's the right word that I'm looking for, some unsanctioned verbal, like oral history, yeah, of what was going on in uh Universal Studios at the C-suite level that drove this because nothing suggests this level of investment besides 48,6 million.
00:25:01.839 --> 00:25:05.440
But universal the other properties that were doing that, it wasn't like this.
00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:07.200
I mean, it's interesting.
00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:41.519
I think what I could see if I was a C-suite at Universal, I would look at our competitors, I would say Lucasfilms owns the rights to Indiana Jones, they are licensing Indiana Jones to the Disney parks, but they're at this point they are not making Indiana Jones movies, and they're not they're doing like young Indiana Jones and they have some novels, but like they're not maximizing it, and and there's not a lot of action adventure, like this type of era of swashbuckling tales, like you had Romance of the Stone, but like not from like a franchise.
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:43.839
Why didn't they take what they saw an opportunity?
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:56.799
But they had it, but but they had um yes, they saw an opportunity to understand, but why didn't they drive that through Amblin and Spielberg's vehicle rather than that's true?
00:25:56.880 --> 00:25:57.359
That's a good point.
00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:00.720
I don't know because they have the property and they gotta keep it going, probably.
00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:04.559
So, like yeah, with the mummy, I think they they have to keep the mummy going.
00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:09.119
Like they I think they legally have to keep making mummy stuff or they lose the rights to it.
00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:11.599
We'll we'll have to double check that because I think that's an interesting point.
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:12.160
We should do it.
00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:15.680
We should actually do an episode on that.
00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:23.279
Why studios um reinvigorate properties that nobody wants so that they can keep the money?
00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:24.799
Because they keep the rights, yeah.
00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:27.119
Because that's part of it, is you have to keep the rights.
00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:32.960
Uh, for those that don't know, a lot of times if you don't make up a especially if it's a bought property.
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:43.200
So if I'm if Luke's movie studio buys the Mike Wynn show um from Mike Wynn, because in the con but in the contra it's a big IP and it has a lot of fans.
00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:51.119
In the contract, I have to make a Mike Wait Win show movie every five years, otherwise it goes up basically becomes a free agent or goes back to you.
00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:51.920
Yeah, exactly.
00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:52.559
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:53.440
I think that works.
00:26:54.079 --> 00:26:54.480
I like it.
00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:54.880
I like it.
00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:56.480
It's it's a fascinating through land.
00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:57.359
I think so.
00:26:58.000 --> 00:26:59.759
We're no longer having an episode about the mummy.
00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:01.599
I'm asking you to make a different episode now.
00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:08.799
So it's a good idea though, because I mean there's a lot of potential to do some deep dive research that honestly we love.
00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:10.559
Yeah, I get Greg Jackson in on this.
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:12.559
We do, we gotta get Greg uh Our Man in the West.
00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:15.359
We'll have to get him and uh and get some some intel.
00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:16.240
He's the man in the West.
00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:17.279
He is the man in the West.
00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:18.160
Yes, he is.
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:20.880
We have a man our man in the West.
00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:23.680
Our man in the West, Greg Jackson.
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:24.799
Love you, brother.
00:27:24.960 --> 00:27:26.160
Okay, overall thoughts.
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:27.680
You kind of just jumped into it.
00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:33.119
Um, history with this movie, uh, thoughts of rewatching it, thoughts watching it for the first time.
00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:34.319
Is the first time for you, Mike?
00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:35.599
Yeah, first time for me.
00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:37.359
So I told you guys this.
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:39.920
Uh, something was wrong with my stream.
00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:48.720
Um where literally every scene in which they talk in a different language, I did not have subtitles for.
00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:51.519
Despite me trying to get them.
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:56.160
Um this is happening to be fair, this is happening to me when I stream movies on certain platforms.
00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:07.039
Like they do not like I just watched the French connection for the first time and all the way through, and they do not have none of the French was translated on my Tubi stream.
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:09.039
Not very connected, obviously.
00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:14.319
Yeah, um, which it was fine, it didn't hurt, but uh there was no French control.
00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:15.119
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:21.599
So here's the problem, though, because significant exposition of this movie takes place in a different language.
00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:22.240
Yes, that's true.
00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:26.799
So I had to use context clues to understand what this movie was about.
00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:38.880
And I just I like just so you guys know what I'm coming in with, to the best of my understanding, the movie is about a mummy who's upset that there's no more moisturizer.
00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:41.519
Whoa, you pull that out.
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:59.759
So he is eating other people's skin so that he can have moisturized moisturizer, which makes sense because he's in the desert, and that's why Dwayne, the Scorpion King's skin, is so smooth at the end.
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:01.519
Because he has a a wake.
00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:05.839
He has the moisture, he has all the moisture in the desert.
00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:09.519
This could just be like a Cetophil or Cera V commercial, essentially.
00:29:09.680 --> 00:29:11.680
Yeah, like a two uh yes, I like it.
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:16.480
Wow, a Jergens commercial The Mummy Returns, sponsored by Jergens.
00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:18.559
Because when he gets skid, he is moist.
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:22.400
That is moist, um well exfoliated and also hydrated.
00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:26.400
And as we know, shaved multiple times and buttered, probably this is buttered up.
00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:27.279
Oh, they buttered it up.
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:28.160
It was buttered up, yeah.
00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:28.720
They buttered up.
00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:29.680
Zach, how about you?
00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:30.799
What what was your experience?
00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:34.400
Uh you're a big fan of this franchise, the first film, but like for first film.
00:29:35.039 --> 00:29:37.039
What's your what's your walk with this movie?
00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:40.559
I my walk with this movie is definitely I have watched it before.
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:45.680
I remember watching it as a 12-year-old and being very disappointed.
00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:49.759
And I was disappointed yet again.
00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:56.559
So I I think but watching re-watching this, this dug up a lot of that old trauma from the original watch.
00:29:56.640 --> 00:29:58.480
Like um, pigbees.
00:29:58.640 --> 00:30:00.400
Like the pigbees, I forgot that.
00:30:01.119 --> 00:30:03.519
I was like, I do not remember that in the TNT cut.
00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:13.680
I did think that um for some reason in the first movie there was a double bus in that, and it was cool to see that come out from out of frame, out of nowhere.
00:30:13.839 --> 00:30:14.000
Yeah.
00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:16.160
Uh and also like the it's a fun chase scene.
00:30:16.240 --> 00:30:16.720
So it is.
00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:21.440
I like I like anytime like an adventure movie they go back to like London or a different urban area.
00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:22.079
Exactly.
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:32.079
So I think it's it's definitely one where recommending the series um I knew was gonna be a step down for us, and I'm sorry for that going in.
00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:35.440
Um, I will continue to apologize profusely for it.
00:30:35.599 --> 00:30:37.440
I know that it's a You don't need to apologize.
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:38.319
We knew what we were in for.
00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:44.160
Yeah, it's definitely anytime we've done these franchise rewatch, it's not like we're like, wow, four amazing.
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:45.279
Second movie is.
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:46.960
Yeah, that second movie is so good.
00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:47.440
That's it.
00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:48.240
Born was better.
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:49.839
Born was very good.
00:30:50.079 --> 00:30:52.960
I thought, I thought the second was better than the first.
00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:53.359
Yes.
00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:54.160
Born is better.
00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:56.400
We had to do the episode, then let it simmer for him.
00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:57.200
Yes, but America.
00:30:59.920 --> 00:31:00.160
Yeah.
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:09.359
So I think looking back at again, it was definitely a better family Friday night movie for us sitting at home and watching an adventure.
00:31:09.519 --> 00:31:15.119
Yes, but not anything notable that like I can't say that I this one sticks with me through life.
00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:15.519
Yes.
00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:17.519
So but this the pygmies do.
00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:19.759
Yes, this movie I forgot so much about it.
00:31:19.839 --> 00:31:21.680
It was one that was kind of always on TV.
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:23.839
I mean, the first two movies were kind of always on.
00:31:24.079 --> 00:31:29.119
So it's like I I don't really remember watching it all the way through in like an adult context.
00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:32.240
I don't think I ever have, and I missed there was a lot of stuff.
00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:36.319
Again, we talked about this last episode, but I think this is a really interesting time in cinema.
00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:41.839
This is the pre-9-11 films, and I think a lot of them are I don't know if we really make movies.
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:49.519
I guess the like Minecraft movie or some of the animated movies are like this, they're PG-13 or like a hard PG, and like everyone can go.
00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:53.839
Yeah, like an eight-year-old can go, a 13-year-old can go, a parent can go.
00:31:54.079 --> 00:32:02.400
And I just feel like the innocence of these movies and that they are bombastic and crazy is part of this like pre-9-11 era of movies.
00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:06.880
Like we talked, we were mentioning Borns, like Borns are very much post-9-11.
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:12.480
We distrust the government, uh, the government power, like it is yeah, darkness.
00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:18.480
Like, this is really the last year of these big, huge, happy, campy movies.
00:32:18.559 --> 00:32:22.960
Jurassic Park 3, we've talked about came out that summer as well.
00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:25.440
It's just a it's just an interesting time in history.
00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:28.240
I also think this is probably the perfect bar movie.
00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:44.079
Now, if you're at a bar and it has TVs, you're sitting down, you're hanging out with friends, you're catching up, you'd be having a couple, a couple of pints, and maybe they have a a sports game on, and maybe they have another another monitor that has TNT.
00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:47.119
I've only been to one bar that's like this.
00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:49.039
And maybe they have a movie on.
00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:49.279
Yeah.
00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:55.039
Like they're on a different channel, or maybe they like there was a hockey game on TNT, and then now we're now like they forgot to switch it.
00:32:55.119 --> 00:32:55.440
Yeah.
00:32:55.680 --> 00:33:00.640
And the mummy to or the mummy returns, excuse me, is on in the background.
00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:09.200
Is the perfect just like you look up every now and again while you're walking to the bathroom or you're ordering another drink at the bar, you're just like, huh, what's going on here?
00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:10.559
What's Brendan Fraser doing?
00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:11.759
What's Ritual Wise doing?
00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:13.279
Look, like you don't really need.
00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:15.279
I mean, maybe there's subtitles, maybe there's not.
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:17.279
It's just kind of a good background movie.
00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:18.559
That's how I would describe it.
00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:19.279
This is the case.
00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:21.440
So so there's a bar in Holland that you really like.
00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:21.839
Yes.
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:22.960
Our brewing company.
00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:23.599
Shout out.
00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:24.079
Shout out.
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:24.880
Become a sponsor.
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:30.240
Um and I do kind of think that this is the kind of movie that I would see on there.
00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:32.799
Yeah, it like it's a five o'clock happy hour.
00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:33.839
You're waiting for a friend.
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:37.759
Like you, I don't like going on my phone if I'm alone at a bar or coffee shop.
00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:44.799
I like, and that's why it's nice if they have a TV with a channel on, and that's a perfect example of a place where just if the mummy two is on, I'd be thrilled.
00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:48.160
And a giant mouth and a wave of water just catches your eye.
00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:48.960
You're like, why?
00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:50.240
What is going on here?
00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:51.440
And you see it, yeah.
00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:52.799
To me, it's a perfect bar movie.
00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:52.960
Okay.
00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:53.359
Let's go.
00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:59.039
I'm gonna take a sip of Terramana because I have to talk about Dwayne Johnson.
00:33:59.200 --> 00:33:59.519
Okay.
00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:00.799
Dwayne the Rock Johnson.
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:01.759
He was in this movie?
00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:02.960
Yes, yes.
00:34:03.279 --> 00:34:07.119
In spirit, yes, in CGI form and real life form.
00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:11.519
They just use this image, actually, because there is no like that could not be his voice possibly.
00:34:11.599 --> 00:34:11.679
No.
00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:12.880
Like, we don't, we can't verify.
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:16.800
I'm gonna, this is my take.
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:17.280
Okay.
00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:20.559
I think this is one of the most important movies in modern cinema history.
00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:21.599
Oh, dude.
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:23.119
Oh my gosh.
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:24.800
Welcome, welcome to the show.
00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:25.920
Oh my gosh.
00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:29.039
This guy gave five stars in Jurassic World.
00:34:29.360 --> 00:34:31.199
Give it to us because he saw it in a theater.
00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:38.159
Dwayne Johnson is pound for pound, the one of the biggest movie stars of all time.
00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:40.719
The amount of money he brings in, the amount of people who see his movies.
00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:43.440
Are you saying pound for pound because he literally has pounds of money?
00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:44.719
And and pound for pound.
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:48.480
Culturally, he is one of the biggest stars of all time in movie history.
00:34:48.880 --> 00:34:49.760
In modern movie history.
00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:50.480
Box office.
00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:51.199
Box office.
00:34:51.840 --> 00:34:52.800
All the numbers huge.
00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:55.440
This is his first film feature debut.
00:34:56.000 --> 00:34:59.199
He has this movie comes out in 2001.
00:34:59.360 --> 00:35:04.880
He does another movie uh called Long Shot in 2001, where he plays a cameo.
00:35:05.039 --> 00:35:06.400
That's his 2001.
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:10.079
Then Scorpion King 2002.
00:35:10.719 --> 00:35:14.800
The Rundown, 2003, which I just started watching, which I kind of I'm excited to be watching.
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:15.679
That's when it starts, yeah.
00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:21.760
Walking Tall, 2004, which is a remake, Doom in 2005, which is a video game added up to Ashutation.
00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:31.199
Gridiron Gang, 2006, The Game Plan, 2007, Get Smart in 2008, Race to Witch Mountain, 2009.
00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:32.000
Great.
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:33.840
And then we get to 2010.
00:35:34.400 --> 00:35:38.559
Does three movies Tooth Fairy, Faster, and the Other Guys.
00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:40.639
Oh yeah, other guys.
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:44.320
So he's doing a big movie every year where he's the star.
00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:46.239
They're not like the best movies.
00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:51.840
Some of them are Disney movies, some of them are kids' movies, but he is the face of a movie.
00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:54.000
Right after this, it changes everything.
00:35:54.159 --> 00:36:04.159
And then we get all the way up, we do other guys in 2010, and then there's a franchise, which we've mentioned before, that is has done four movies.
00:36:04.559 --> 00:36:07.199
They're kind of like we want to make more.
00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:10.719
Um we're owned by Universal.
00:36:11.119 --> 00:36:16.159
And who can we bring in to help inject life into this franchise?
00:36:16.400 --> 00:36:17.920
And it's Fast Five.
00:36:18.239 --> 00:36:26.159
Dwayne Johnson is brought in as Hobbes in Fast Five, and then then it turns, and and Dwayne Johnson becomes the Dwayne Johnson we know.
00:36:26.400 --> 00:36:35.199
He's not just like, oh, the WDWE star who's now doing uh Fond Disney movie, he becomes a behemoth, box office behemoth.
00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:38.719
But it all goes back to this first appearance in the Scorpion King.
00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:40.639
I can't disagree with you more.
00:36:41.039 --> 00:36:41.440
Really?
00:36:41.599 --> 00:36:41.760
Yeah.
00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:44.639
That it's a good movie or that I'm not saying it's good or bad.
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:50.639
I'm just saying this launches a career and within 10 No, this movie has nothing to do with that.
00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:51.519
Here's why.
00:36:51.840 --> 00:37:02.800
It it it I would agree with you if Dwayne The Rock Johnson was the first WWE star to parlay fame in the ring to a successful film career.
00:37:03.039 --> 00:37:03.280
Yes.
00:37:03.519 --> 00:37:04.800
And he's not, he's not.
00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:13.199
I know he's not, but I'm just saying this movie is and you actually made a better case for Fast Five being a bigger movie in his career than this one.
00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:14.480
But this is where it starts.
00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:15.519
This is where it starts.
00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:18.000
This is I'm not saying this is the most important thing.
00:37:18.239 --> 00:37:22.239
They threw him into a desert and just had him try to act for the first time ever.
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:24.960
Clearly, he's got a lot to work on.
00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:25.519
Yes.
00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:27.760
And they make him eat a scorpion.
00:37:27.920 --> 00:37:32.159
Like, this is where he starts, like, okay, this is what I could be as a wrestler.
00:37:32.239 --> 00:37:34.320
They could just throw me into the fire at every film.
00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:42.079
Or I could also be uh, you know, I could take some smaller, subtle, more subtle roles or roles that aren't as risky.
00:37:42.239 --> 00:37:43.599
I think it's a good start for him.
00:37:43.760 --> 00:37:48.800
And Scorpion King honestly is that it leads to Scorpion King to create him as like an actual protagonist.
00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:51.440
He's not just gonna be a character like a heavy.
00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:53.599
He and I I think I I agree, Mike.
00:37:53.920 --> 00:38:03.119
I think all the way up to maybe Git Smart, but I really think to the other guys, he is that he's in the other guys for five minutes.
00:38:03.280 --> 00:38:03.679
For five minutes.
00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:11.760
But what I'm saying is those all those movies post his first appearance, pretty typical WWE star, John Cena level.
00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:12.079
Like, okay.
00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:14.800
I think Stone isn't Steve Austin in Walking Tall 2.
00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:19.119
Yeah, like like what I'm saying is like that is pretty average WWE star.
00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:22.719
Like, okay, fine, you made a Disney movie, action movie, blah blah blah blah.
00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:28.400
And then Fast Five, I think, elevates him to the next level because he's by he's not even comparable to John C.
00:38:28.719 --> 00:38:30.880
I actually think Tooth Well, so you mentioned Tooth Fairy.
00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:36.639
I actually haven't seen it, but the thing about Tooth Fairy was it actually showed just wait for the Tooth Fairy episode coming up.
00:38:36.719 --> 00:38:39.679
Uh yeah, it actually did show that he had range, right?
00:38:39.840 --> 00:38:48.960
And so it was the Tooth Fairy that actually challenged this you know macho perception that he had to show that this guy's actually got a little bit of range.
00:38:49.039 --> 00:38:52.880
He can he can work with kids, yeah, which is a big deal in Hollywood.
00:38:53.199 --> 00:38:56.320
And we know he's got muscles for days.
00:38:56.559 --> 00:38:57.920
When did he do Moana?
00:38:58.320 --> 00:39:00.320
Moana was later, 2018.
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:01.199
2018.
00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:03.440
So Moana, he's already yeah, yeah.
00:39:03.679 --> 00:39:08.480
But then I agree that that he that's the thing is like it's like what what do they talk about technology?
00:39:08.639 --> 00:39:10.800
Technology, like when advancement it doubles.
00:39:11.039 --> 00:39:11.679
Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:16.000
Like I I after Fast Five, it just he goes elevates, elevates.
00:39:16.480 --> 00:39:22.239
I remember Fast Five, and I remember, but here's the thing is and in my you know, our memories are weird, you know.
00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:24.239
We tend to speak for yourself.
00:39:24.400 --> 00:39:27.760
We well, we tend to remember things differently, right?
00:39:27.920 --> 00:39:28.159
Yes.
00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:35.920
Um, and I remember him in Fast Five, I remember watching Fast Five in the theater, and I remember thinking, like, oh yeah, that's weird.
00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:37.039
That's Dwayne Johnson.
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:43.599
Like, he's not like a huge movie star, but like I also was not surprised that he fit in that movie.
00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:46.159
Yeah, like he worked, like he was an established actor.
00:39:46.239 --> 00:39:59.119
I I I'm struggling with your assertion, which is what you made, is your assertion is that this movie, The Mummy Returns, is one of the most important movies in cinema history.
00:39:59.519 --> 00:40:02.400
Because it launches one of the biggest stars of all time.
00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:05.920
Without this movie, we don't have the one of the biggest stars of all time.
00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:07.519
This begins the journey.
00:40:08.239 --> 00:40:10.079
Someone get Stevenson okay.
00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:14.719
Watch there's an actors on actors uh variety with Brendan Fraser and Dwayne Johnson.
00:40:15.119 --> 00:40:20.559
You do your own and Dwayne Johnson says to Brendan Fraser, thank you for casting me.
00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:24.480
He's like, You took a chance on me because you were yeah, but that's so so what?
00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:27.280
It was his first, that's just his first ones.
00:40:27.440 --> 00:40:30.079
But he believes it, he agrees with me, and that's all you need about it.
00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:33.599
All right, imagine that they didn't make a Scorpion King movie.
00:40:33.679 --> 00:40:36.719
That was his like what if it just stopped at Scorpion King?
00:40:36.800 --> 00:40:39.039
Yeah, it would be oh you remember that no, not even Scorpion King.
00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:39.840
This was it.
00:40:40.159 --> 00:40:41.679
This imagine that.
00:40:42.079 --> 00:40:48.800
Imagine that alternative Scorpion King, because he was already cast in Scorpion King by the time this was released.
00:40:49.679 --> 00:40:51.360
They were in post-production, yeah.
00:40:51.440 --> 00:40:55.199
Yeah, Scorpion King was a Scorpion King, the biggest movie in the Sure.
00:40:55.280 --> 00:40:57.679
You could argue, you could probably get out of here.
00:40:57.840 --> 00:41:01.440
All right, let's move on to the last time on the O'Connells.
00:41:01.519 --> 00:41:02.639
That's a new segment.
00:41:02.880 --> 00:41:09.360
So the last time we talked we saw the O'Connells, they weren't the O'Connell's, they were not married, yeah.
00:41:09.440 --> 00:41:11.280
Uh, but they did get married, they had a kid.
00:41:11.360 --> 00:41:11.679
Yeah.
00:41:11.840 --> 00:41:13.679
Also, the O'Connells have money.
00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:15.360
We talked about this in the last episode.
00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:16.239
We weren't sure.
00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:19.119
Uh, they have lots of money, they have an estate.
00:41:19.280 --> 00:41:22.559
Um, they're still very much into each other, maybe a little too much.
00:41:22.639 --> 00:41:25.760
Uh, the parents are still very incredibly into each other.
00:41:26.159 --> 00:41:27.599
But it's beautiful, it's good for a marriage.
00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:31.760
It's great to watch, and then you realize the kids over there playing with a dangerous brace.
00:41:32.000 --> 00:41:32.480
Yes, yes.
00:41:32.559 --> 00:41:35.280
Like too problematic, uh not taking care of your kids.
00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:40.639
Just quit hitting at it, and also and also still tomb raiding, uh, which I'm glad they haven't stopped that.
00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:43.199
Um as we mentioned the first episode.
00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:48.559
But tomb raiding and leaving their kid out in a public area with lots of ladders.
00:41:48.880 --> 00:41:49.119
Exactly.
00:41:49.280 --> 00:41:51.440
It was a different time of parenting, you know.
00:41:51.679 --> 00:41:53.840
He felt bad for rescuing his parents.
00:41:53.920 --> 00:41:54.639
Like, that's crazy.
00:41:54.960 --> 00:41:59.119
Kids today are so overwatched, people care way too much.
00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:02.159
Back in the 30s, we really knew how to parent.
00:42:03.280 --> 00:42:04.800
It was just better times back then.
00:42:05.039 --> 00:42:06.079
Let me tell you.
00:42:06.320 --> 00:42:10.239
And then, of course, as I mentioned, they do have a kid, and his name is Alex.
00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:10.480
Oh.
00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:13.920
Zach, uh, what are your thoughts on Alex the Kid?
00:42:14.159 --> 00:42:20.960
So, Alex, I wasn't a fan of until after watching this movie and thinking and really like stewing on his presence in this film.
00:42:21.199 --> 00:42:21.519
Yeah.
00:42:21.840 --> 00:42:28.400
Alex himself is an interesting thing because he just becomes very second Phil, like almost immediately.
00:42:28.800 --> 00:42:32.639
He is just something to get kidnapped, but also just keep Jonathan company.
00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:33.119
Yes.
00:42:34.400 --> 00:42:40.400
But as I thought about this more, guys, I realized what the theme of this specifically this movie is about.
00:42:40.480 --> 00:42:43.199
Yes, it is reincarnation.
00:42:44.400 --> 00:42:44.639
Okay.
00:42:45.119 --> 00:42:50.079
So Ellie is yeah, Ellie is like reincarnate a reincarnated thing.
00:42:50.320 --> 00:42:52.719
Axon no more is like also brought back.
00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:57.199
What if Alex was also a subject of reincarnation?
00:42:57.440 --> 00:42:57.599
Oh.
00:42:57.920 --> 00:43:00.320
Who are we missing in this movie that isn't really Benny?
00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:11.519
Benny! What if Alex is a reincarnation of Benny, punished by the Egyptian gods to accompany in his entire life the people?
00:43:12.079 --> 00:43:13.440
Arch nemesis Ricokado.
00:43:14.000 --> 00:43:14.559
I like it.
00:43:14.639 --> 00:43:15.840
I I actually really like it.
00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:17.760
The movie is ten times better now.
00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:22.960
And also just like to keep Jonathan company, because we need Jonathan there to save the day at the end.
00:43:23.199 --> 00:43:23.519
Yes.
00:43:23.760 --> 00:43:24.480
I really like that.
00:43:24.639 --> 00:43:24.800
Yeah.
00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:28.079
I think that that whichever necklace god you want to pull off.
00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:35.360
Well, it is weird that they're like they do all this backstory, which we'll get into, and then it's just Alex.
00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:36.480
Just like just Alex.
00:43:36.960 --> 00:43:39.360
So far, that's the best take of this entire podcast.
00:43:39.519 --> 00:43:43.440
I I'm glad I didn't think about it until literally like three days ago.
00:43:43.679 --> 00:43:44.239
That's incredible.
00:43:44.480 --> 00:43:46.639
But his presence otherwise is not.
00:43:47.199 --> 00:43:48.079
Alex is Benny.
00:43:48.239 --> 00:43:48.880
Alex is Benny.
00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:49.519
Alex is Benny.
00:43:49.679 --> 00:43:53.679
And it's and it does show why he's he's a little scared of Imotep, but not really.
00:43:53.760 --> 00:43:58.559
Like he's going to he's he's he's like used to Imotep because in his previous life he worked with him.
00:43:58.719 --> 00:43:59.840
And immediately co worker.
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:02.719
He's like the first scene you see him and Rick's yelling at him.
00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:03.840
Just like you would Rick.
00:44:04.639 --> 00:44:05.199
Oh my gosh.
00:44:05.519 --> 00:44:06.480
Ouse, go back.
00:44:06.639 --> 00:44:07.280
Get away.
00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:09.039
And he grabs stuff.
00:44:09.119 --> 00:44:10.559
He grabs the the bracelet.
00:44:10.800 --> 00:44:11.119
Exactly.
00:44:11.280 --> 00:44:14.079
He's very, very like shiny shiny things.
00:44:14.400 --> 00:44:14.800
Wow.
00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:16.400
I the that's pretty good.
00:44:16.639 --> 00:44:19.280
All right, let's move on to Mike's nap check-in.
00:44:19.920 --> 00:44:24.880
Um I know you had trouble with the subtitles, but how was uh how was your how was your watch experience?
00:44:25.119 --> 00:44:27.920
Uh so I split this watch into two different evenings.
00:44:28.000 --> 00:44:35.920
So I watched great strategy like thirty thirty to some odd minutes one night and then the rest of it uh actually beforehand today.
00:44:36.239 --> 00:44:37.440
I fell asleep a lot, guys.
00:44:37.599 --> 00:44:37.840
Yes.
00:44:38.079 --> 00:44:47.519
I um you know I look, I probably fell asleep five five or six times and I had to go back.
00:44:47.840 --> 00:44:48.159
Okay.
00:44:48.320 --> 00:44:50.559
Uh, you know, I'd watched it multiple times.
00:44:50.719 --> 00:44:53.679
I would wake up and I'd be like, why are we in a double decker bus?
00:44:53.840 --> 00:44:59.360
And like jump back five minutes and be like, oh, it literally shows up out of nowhere.
00:44:59.599 --> 00:45:00.400
Yeah, it's okay.
00:45:00.719 --> 00:45:04.000
I think that he kind of woke up and then texted us, like, what's going on?
00:45:06.159 --> 00:45:07.599
Like we were there in the room with him.
00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:09.679
That was mostly because of the subtitles.
00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:21.519
Because there was at one point, like, um, it the like Imotep is talking to Alex and uh and he's talking in English, and I'm like, Oh, so I don't need subtitles anymore.
00:45:22.239 --> 00:45:23.760
So that was very obvious.
00:45:24.079 --> 00:45:29.760
It's a very subtle, but essentially they knew it would be weird if the kid speaks Egyptian.
00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:31.039
But he does speak Egyptian.
00:45:31.199 --> 00:45:32.880
He does, but at the end he speaks Egyptian.
00:45:34.400 --> 00:45:34.800
Sure, okay.
00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:43.519
So they do the um they do the trick where essentially oh they're speaking Egyptian, but they're speaking it.
00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:46.559
Yeah, they kind of like it.
00:45:46.639 --> 00:45:52.559
Like they they they do that in the first scene of the the hunt for the well I wouldn't know because I don't I never knew what language we were speaking.
00:45:52.800 --> 00:45:54.400
Yeah, you never knew, it wasn't helping you at all.
00:45:54.639 --> 00:45:56.639
Subtitles about moisturizer sometimes.
00:45:56.719 --> 00:45:57.440
It was Egyptian.
00:45:57.599 --> 00:45:59.920
I guess Scorpion King speaks Arabic.
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:04.159
That's uh yes, and then our you know, Pharaoh and all that stuff is Egyptian.
00:46:04.800 --> 00:46:09.920
Yeah, there's something in his like historical thing there that they're trying to play off of that I'm trying to read.
00:46:10.159 --> 00:46:12.800
Like I'm very interested, but there's no like standard.
00:46:13.199 --> 00:46:14.400
There's no consistency, yeah.
00:46:14.559 --> 00:46:15.599
You can't you can't figure it out.
00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:16.400
Yeah, all right.
00:46:16.480 --> 00:46:19.840
Moving on to another Mike segment, Mike's theme park corner.
00:46:19.920 --> 00:46:27.119
Now we deep dived into the original mummy ride, but I wanted to bring up what could there be a Zeppelin water park ride?
00:46:27.280 --> 00:46:31.039
That's the first thing I saw when we saw the big water face from Imhotep.
00:46:31.119 --> 00:46:34.400
Um, how would you design it if we did a water mummy ride?
00:46:34.559 --> 00:46:36.639
I'm so surprised you even brought the segment back, Luke.
00:46:36.880 --> 00:46:40.400
Um, I wish I would have read the rundown so I had time to think about this.
00:46:41.119 --> 00:46:46.079
Um I don't think it bike I really don't think it would work great for a ride.
00:46:46.159 --> 00:46:52.559
So here's the thing confrontation, which is what the mummy replaced was a water ride?
00:46:52.719 --> 00:47:13.599
No, okay, no, but it was um a ride where where you were suspended in a car and so like the track is above, those rides are really difficult to manage, and and then any ride that you add water to is just really tough if the water isn't if it's not like a boat ride.
00:47:13.840 --> 00:47:18.719
Okay, so if you add water elements on top of the water, if you add water elements, electronics, yes, 100%.
00:47:18.960 --> 00:47:31.360
So that was one of the issues confrontation had was that the maintenance costs were so high because there was there was a water there was water involvement, but it was it was actually like corroding the rest of the ride.
00:47:31.679 --> 00:47:32.079
Interesting.
00:47:32.239 --> 00:47:41.599
So like any ride that you have where the the vehicle is gonna be suspended from the ceiling, so you're not in a boat.
00:47:41.760 --> 00:47:52.000
Like the blimp would be and you're adding water, those typically tend to be really difficult rides to design and maintain, and they and if they do exist, they don't last very long.
00:47:52.159 --> 00:47:54.800
But what if they used hydrogen for the balloon instead of suspending?
00:47:55.199 --> 00:47:55.599
Oh, okay.
00:47:55.679 --> 00:47:59.679
So if you use hydrogen for the balloon, yeah, if it blows up, there's water there.
00:47:59.840 --> 00:48:00.800
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
00:48:01.039 --> 00:48:01.599
It's very safe.
00:48:01.840 --> 00:48:04.000
So Zach's Zach's found the loophole.
00:48:04.159 --> 00:48:05.679
Yeah, I am an engineer.
00:48:05.840 --> 00:48:06.159
Yes.
00:48:06.320 --> 00:48:06.880
At heart.
00:48:06.960 --> 00:48:09.440
Yes, at our life.
00:48:09.760 --> 00:48:10.960
Universal imagineering.
00:48:11.440 --> 00:48:17.199
Well, we're gonna check back in because that maybe there's a ride for the third movie that we could that we could pitch, but I think that's a good point.
00:48:17.280 --> 00:48:17.760
There it would be.
00:48:18.159 --> 00:48:18.719
You don't see a lot of them.
00:48:18.800 --> 00:48:31.039
Like if you it listener, if you researched uh theme park rides, you would not find a lot of rides where the vehicle is on a track that's above the passenger and there's significant water elements.
00:48:31.360 --> 00:48:32.079
Yeah, okay.
00:48:32.239 --> 00:48:35.280
All right, gentlemen, let's move on to leasties and besties.
00:48:35.440 --> 00:48:39.119
Okay, we have some recurring leases and besties, just for continuity.
00:48:39.280 --> 00:48:40.719
We'll start with the leasties.
00:48:41.280 --> 00:48:47.760
This is job you'd least likely want the Scorpion King minions who die in the desert.
00:48:47.840 --> 00:48:48.639
That's a rough way to go.
00:48:48.960 --> 00:48:51.280
Also just annihilated by Anubis' warrior.
00:48:51.599 --> 00:48:52.239
Oh no, sorry.
00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:54.239
They become those never mind.
00:48:54.880 --> 00:48:57.119
Yeah, once again, the main gig, actually.
00:48:57.199 --> 00:48:58.159
Yeah, that's a good gig.
00:48:58.320 --> 00:49:04.559
Once again, the manual labor work, any of the workers at the dig site who die from the scarabs this time.
00:49:04.639 --> 00:49:11.199
So uh in the first movie, they die from the uh acid that comes out of the tomb, the booby trap.
00:49:11.360 --> 00:49:14.400
Um, this one they die from we'll talk about the scarabs later.
00:49:14.480 --> 00:49:16.239
Um, that's always a tough gig.
00:49:16.480 --> 00:49:18.000
The book holder for Mr.
00:49:18.159 --> 00:49:18.559
Javez.
00:49:19.199 --> 00:49:20.880
I don't know if you guys caught this.
00:49:21.280 --> 00:49:27.920
So we're at the British Museum, they're doing the seance to Awaken Imatep.
00:49:28.800 --> 00:49:30.159
And uh Mr.
00:49:30.320 --> 00:49:42.480
Javes, who works with Evie uh at the British Museum, or is at the British Museum, he is reading from the Book of the Dead or the the book from the first movie.
00:49:43.039 --> 00:49:45.280
There is one of the Red Guards, as I like to call them.
00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:46.719
Red Guards is a good name for it.
00:49:46.960 --> 00:49:47.679
The Red Guard.
00:49:48.320 --> 00:49:55.119
He is crouched and has the book on his back so Mr.
00:49:55.280 --> 00:49:58.079
Javez can read the incantation.
00:49:59.280 --> 00:50:01.679
Go go and watch it, friends.
00:50:01.920 --> 00:50:03.360
I could not unsee it.
00:50:03.519 --> 00:50:07.280
There is one of the red guards kneeling with the book on his back so he can read it.
00:50:07.360 --> 00:50:09.360
It is not a heavy book.
00:50:09.519 --> 00:50:13.119
No, yeah, it's just pretty much like tying your shoe and then someone just puts the book on.
00:50:13.519 --> 00:50:18.000
Yeah, so it's like when you like you use someone's back to sign a paper.
00:50:18.079 --> 00:50:18.800
That's kind of what it was.
00:50:19.199 --> 00:50:20.320
Yeah, maybe it gets bonus pay.
00:50:20.639 --> 00:50:22.880
This guy had done it before because his form was impeccable.
00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:24.719
You're like, okay, this guy's this he was ready to be.
00:50:24.880 --> 00:50:25.440
It's his job.
00:50:25.679 --> 00:50:26.480
He's the red guard.
00:50:26.559 --> 00:50:28.639
And I just said in general, any of the red guards.
00:50:28.880 --> 00:50:30.320
Not sure what they were there for.
00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:32.960
Are they like a cult or are they like what are they?
00:50:33.199 --> 00:50:36.719
I thought that they were yeah, I guess because they're like Motep's followers.
00:50:36.880 --> 00:50:38.559
Okay, so they're it's the cult of the Motep.
00:50:38.880 --> 00:50:40.079
They're committed to the cause.
00:50:40.320 --> 00:50:40.960
Yes, okay.
00:50:41.519 --> 00:50:45.840
Maybe so I need to do they possibly work.
00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:48.480
Does he work for the Bembridge scholars?
00:50:48.639 --> 00:50:53.519
Did is there he works for the British Museum, but no, that was that they did pay my tuition though.
00:50:53.679 --> 00:50:54.320
Yeah.
00:50:56.960 --> 00:51:01.280
Just want to know, like, I I didn't know if how associated with them they might be.
00:51:01.840 --> 00:51:11.039
I feel like they might be the big evil, like see, that's what I would have loved to see if there was I here's a little like way you can make this movie, I think, a lot better.
00:51:11.360 --> 00:51:15.519
Our our friends are in London, they're living their life.
00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:20.400
Maybe the Connells are both a little bored, the parents, like sure.
00:51:20.559 --> 00:51:25.440
One's working in the museum, one's kind of like fixing cars because like he's not doing much, like getting tattoos.
00:51:25.599 --> 00:51:26.639
Yeah, getting tattoos.
00:51:27.280 --> 00:51:33.440
And then there's this whole cult around Immotep that's like in London in the museum.
00:51:33.679 --> 00:51:44.400
Kind of like if the first uh uh Sherlock Holmes, like the um Robert Downey Sherlock Holmes, there's kind of like this yeah, cult of people who are into like witchcraft and things like that.
00:51:44.480 --> 00:51:54.400
Like, I think that would have been a cool place to start, is like they're in London living their boring lives, and they get brought into it by this cult that is trying to raise Imatep.
00:51:54.480 --> 00:52:00.559
Like, I I feel like they had something there that could have been explored in a different way, but then you finally go back to the desert desert.
00:52:00.639 --> 00:52:03.199
But I think starting in the desert and then coming back and then going back in the room.
00:52:03.599 --> 00:52:05.440
So, what is the mo uh honest question?
00:52:05.599 --> 00:52:08.639
What is the motivation for the red guard to raise Imatep?
00:52:08.960 --> 00:52:11.679
Just to follow him and to shave his body.
00:52:12.320 --> 00:52:20.559
So were they so like if I try to link if I try to they needed a uh Godzilla they needed a halt for or a Kong for the Godzilla, essentially.
00:52:21.440 --> 00:52:24.559
What they're doing is yeah, King Kong to fight a Godzilla.
00:52:24.719 --> 00:52:25.920
Well, okay, let's we'll get into this.
00:52:26.000 --> 00:52:28.880
We'll get into this because this is but go on your comment really quick.
00:52:28.960 --> 00:52:29.360
I'm sorry.
00:52:29.519 --> 00:52:34.320
Um, they the problem is that they didn't deviate from the structure of the first movie.
00:52:34.719 --> 00:52:40.079
Like that's the thing, is they needed to go from the desert to back home back in a urban setting.
00:52:40.320 --> 00:52:47.920
Kind of like when you go back and a T-Rex from the island to San Diego to start a zoo, yes, and you got to copy that structure.
00:52:48.159 --> 00:52:48.480
Yes, you do.
00:52:48.639 --> 00:52:51.280
They wanted to do that because it was popular in the first one, yeah.
00:52:51.760 --> 00:52:59.920
But that's the big issue here is that it just gets redundant, and essentially every there's so much of it is copy and paste from the first one.
00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:07.760
It is like the structure of three for the three uh Americans that are also three robbers in this that also get their faces sucked.
00:53:08.159 --> 00:53:11.039
And they reference the Americans who die in the same way that they they do.
00:53:11.280 --> 00:53:11.599
Exactly.
00:53:11.679 --> 00:53:12.400
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:53:12.559 --> 00:53:17.760
So I think that that's they they felt it necessary to just copy and paste from the previous one.
00:53:17.840 --> 00:53:21.599
So what's the least 1933 part of this movie?
00:53:21.840 --> 00:53:25.199
Rachel Vise's 2001 outfit in the first scene, yeah.
00:53:25.360 --> 00:53:29.440
Um, which I'm not complaining about, but uh very definitely wasn't period.
00:53:29.679 --> 00:53:30.079
Love that dress.
00:53:31.920 --> 00:53:33.360
I I don't even remember what we're talking about.
00:53:33.679 --> 00:53:34.000
That's okay.
00:53:34.079 --> 00:53:37.039
Uh Little Umbrellas in the Drinks uh as a reference.
00:53:37.119 --> 00:53:38.800
I don't know, I don't know if that was 1933.
00:53:39.199 --> 00:53:40.880
Bond has some of that though.
00:53:41.280 --> 00:53:42.320
In 33, though.
00:53:42.480 --> 00:53:43.199
In 33.
00:53:43.360 --> 00:53:49.920
No, not having the Nazis involved in this in 1933 in like each in London.
00:53:50.000 --> 00:53:52.159
There's like that's a really good one, yeah.
00:53:52.400 --> 00:53:54.159
But I get it because that would be too Indian.
00:53:54.559 --> 00:53:55.119
Indiana Jones.
00:53:55.280 --> 00:53:57.679
But like they reference it in the first movie, though.
00:53:57.840 --> 00:54:00.000
I thought the umbrellas or Indiana Jones.
00:54:00.719 --> 00:54:01.519
Or Nazis.
00:54:01.679 --> 00:54:02.000
Sorry.
00:54:02.159 --> 00:54:03.039
Or Nazis.
00:54:03.280 --> 00:54:09.599
I thought the Nazis no, no, okay, it would be much more like Lawrence of the Arabia of Arabia times, anyways.
00:54:09.840 --> 00:54:10.559
Yeah, because it's a 20.
00:54:10.800 --> 00:54:12.480
No, you want to talk about a boring movie.
00:54:12.719 --> 00:54:13.760
Yeah, long, too.
00:54:14.239 --> 00:54:14.800
It's a long one.
00:54:14.880 --> 00:54:15.599
That's one I did.
00:54:15.840 --> 00:54:19.280
That's one of the few movies I I've ever fallen asleep to is Lawrence of Arabia.
00:54:19.360 --> 00:54:19.440
Yeah.
00:54:19.679 --> 00:54:20.800
That was like two years old.
00:54:21.039 --> 00:54:22.559
It's like a month-long journey for us.
00:54:22.719 --> 00:54:24.000
But now I probably will love it.
00:54:24.079 --> 00:54:25.199
I'm like right in the pocket.
00:54:25.760 --> 00:54:27.199
It deserves a rewatch.
00:54:27.280 --> 00:54:27.760
It's time.
00:54:28.000 --> 00:54:39.440
Um, or uh the least 1933 part of this movie is Immotep's Turtleneck slash collarless outfit, which is a long line of villains who wear collarless shirts or outfits thinking starting with Dr.
00:54:39.599 --> 00:54:39.840
No.
00:54:40.400 --> 00:54:45.280
Um, I think it looks good, but what's the least 1990 or 1933 part of this movie?
00:54:45.599 --> 00:54:51.199
Yeah, I think I I think you make a good point about not bringing up the war or the Nazis.
00:54:51.760 --> 00:54:53.039
Any of the wars, yeah.
00:54:53.280 --> 00:54:56.960
Like World War One or even World War II, like is about to happen.
00:54:57.119 --> 00:55:20.960
Like, yeah, I I mean I think the most not 1933 thing, uh you're right, like the Indiana, they're trying to avoid being copycats, but you can't set the movie in 1933 and do a swatch buckle, yeah, and do and do something where you're tomb raiding and not and not include the Nazis because that's all they were doing.
00:55:21.119 --> 00:55:22.159
Yes, yeah.
00:55:22.480 --> 00:55:27.199
It I feel like it would have been on the nose, but at this point it's like, why not?
00:55:27.440 --> 00:55:27.679
Right?
00:55:28.000 --> 00:55:28.559
Why not?
00:55:28.800 --> 00:55:29.199
Why not?
00:55:29.440 --> 00:55:37.360
I think you in my my movie that I'm making of this movie, the the red guard cult and are are tied to the Nazis.
00:55:37.920 --> 00:55:39.119
I'm gonna rewrite this movie.
00:55:39.280 --> 00:55:43.280
But they really aren't, they they really aren't because emotep is pulling all the strings.
00:55:44.000 --> 00:55:49.360
All right, this is a new uh leasty the mummy returns honorary least fitting title.
00:55:49.519 --> 00:55:52.079
Now, Mike, you were confused on the title of this movie.
00:55:52.320 --> 00:55:58.880
So the it's called The Mummy Returns, but what's confusing is in the first movie, The Mummy Does Return.
00:55:59.119 --> 00:55:59.679
Right, exactly.
00:55:59.760 --> 00:56:01.360
Yeah, that's what I was confused about.
00:56:01.440 --> 00:56:07.360
Was I feel like calling a movie The Mummy, it's implied somebody's returning.
00:56:07.679 --> 00:56:08.719
Returning from the dead.
00:56:08.880 --> 00:56:09.119
Yeah.
00:56:09.599 --> 00:56:13.840
So this movie should be called The Mummy Returns Again.
00:56:14.000 --> 00:56:19.519
Or The Mummy's Revenge, which is actually the move, the movie of the or the name of the next movie, right?
00:56:19.840 --> 00:56:20.000
No.
00:56:20.320 --> 00:56:22.800
No, no, no, Revenge of the Mummy or something like that.
00:56:23.039 --> 00:56:24.400
There's a movie that's Revenge of the Mummy.
00:56:24.719 --> 00:56:24.960
Sure.
00:56:25.519 --> 00:56:27.760
Or no, Revenge of the Mummy is actually called The Ride.
00:56:28.159 --> 00:56:28.960
Revenge of the Sith.
00:56:29.199 --> 00:56:30.079
Yeah, I think it's the Ride.
00:56:30.559 --> 00:56:30.960
Oh, the ride.
00:56:31.280 --> 00:56:32.320
The ride is Revenge of the Mummy.
00:56:32.480 --> 00:56:32.960
Yeah, yeah.
00:56:33.199 --> 00:56:34.559
So that's the better title for this movie.
00:56:34.880 --> 00:56:35.840
But the ride already had it.
00:56:36.000 --> 00:56:39.199
But it's not even revenge, though, because like why is the mummy there?
00:56:39.360 --> 00:56:40.639
Why is the mummy giving revenge on the movie?
00:56:40.800 --> 00:56:41.280
I guess it is.
00:56:41.360 --> 00:56:42.000
He does return.
00:56:42.159 --> 00:56:44.000
Yeah, he gives revenge on the movie set.
00:56:44.239 --> 00:56:47.280
I've been calling it the mummy also in my head.
00:56:47.519 --> 00:56:48.400
The mummy also.
00:56:48.880 --> 00:56:49.760
The mummy also.
00:56:51.199 --> 00:56:52.800
I really like that one.
00:56:53.280 --> 00:56:54.079
Dot dot dot also.
00:56:54.480 --> 00:56:55.519
Also, yeah, there's the lipside.
00:56:55.840 --> 00:56:56.159
Yeah.
00:56:56.400 --> 00:56:57.599
Is this the time?
00:56:57.760 --> 00:56:59.599
There was a time in movie making.
00:56:59.679 --> 00:57:06.079
Maybe this is the time, you know, to the early 2000s, they really were trying to avoid using numbers.
00:57:06.400 --> 00:57:07.440
Right, yes, I agree.
00:57:07.519 --> 00:57:11.920
I I think Jurassic Park Claw Mark is probably one of the few.
00:57:14.480 --> 00:57:15.840
Yeah, the few differences there.
00:57:15.920 --> 00:57:16.559
But yeah, I agree.
00:57:16.639 --> 00:57:25.440
They're trying because this is the VHS era, the home video era, and typically if there was a numerical sequel, it was straight to video.
00:57:25.840 --> 00:57:26.159
Okay.
00:57:26.639 --> 00:57:29.280
So like all the Disney sequels, like little Mercury.
00:57:29.519 --> 00:57:32.000
All the screams had uh numbers.
00:57:32.239 --> 00:57:32.719
That's true.
00:57:32.880 --> 00:57:33.519
That's true.
00:57:33.760 --> 00:57:36.639
Um but that's like playing on that whole idea.
00:57:36.960 --> 00:57:38.639
When did Toy Story 2 come out?
00:57:39.280 --> 00:57:40.639
Probably 2002.
00:57:42.079 --> 00:57:43.920
So I mean, I mean, there's always exceptions.
00:57:44.079 --> 00:57:44.239
Yeah.
00:57:44.800 --> 00:57:45.039
True.
00:57:45.519 --> 00:57:47.920
I I'm a big fan of like the two and the three and the four.
00:57:48.000 --> 00:57:52.159
Like I would just re don't give me some like calling all the mummies to the dance floor.
00:57:52.320 --> 00:57:52.719
Yeah.
00:57:55.440 --> 00:57:57.119
Alright, let's move on to leasties.
00:57:57.360 --> 00:57:57.599
Okay.
00:57:57.840 --> 00:57:59.679
Least clear plot point.
00:58:00.800 --> 00:58:01.599
Wait, wait.
00:58:02.000 --> 00:58:03.920
Least clear plot point.
00:58:04.480 --> 00:58:07.760
Why did Anubis use the Scorpion King in the first place?
00:58:08.639 --> 00:58:10.480
Well, that was I thought that was pretty clear.
00:58:10.880 --> 00:58:11.760
To just murder people?
00:58:11.920 --> 00:58:12.800
No, no, no, no, no.
00:58:13.119 --> 00:58:14.800
He made at the beginning of the movie.
00:58:14.880 --> 00:58:17.280
This is probably the only thing that I think makes sense.
00:58:18.079 --> 00:58:18.960
Explain it to me.
00:58:19.119 --> 00:58:31.519
At the beginning of the movie, uh the Scorpion King is alone in the desert and makes makes a pact with a god to uh to save his life.
00:58:33.280 --> 00:58:34.239
So I look it's a good thing.
00:58:34.400 --> 00:58:38.320
Yes, but why did a numus want to why did he want to use the scorpion king just to like kill him?
00:58:38.559 --> 00:58:39.920
Availability is the best ability.
00:58:42.239 --> 00:58:50.559
Also, I I think the the bigger the bigger issue is why did he like just take out the Scorpion King so quickly at the end of his conquest?
00:58:50.719 --> 00:58:52.159
Like it's like Yeah, that's the one.
00:58:52.800 --> 00:58:53.280
I was confused.
00:58:53.360 --> 00:58:58.079
It was like they murdered a bunch of maybe it's like this like Thanos thing, like it's like the original snap.
00:58:58.159 --> 00:59:08.639
Like we gotta take out, we gotta like prune the hedges and take out half of the Anubis is the god of death, and let's bring as many people down to the underworld.
00:59:09.360 --> 00:59:12.719
There's probably I don't look, haven't watched the Scorpion King.
00:59:14.000 --> 00:59:16.960
I don't know how much this ties to the actual Scorpion King.
00:59:17.119 --> 00:59:32.480
Well, okay, so this is what I was gonna say is um I think that there's a legitimate backstory that could be explored about why the god of death is in need of a servant, yes.
00:59:32.719 --> 00:59:36.880
Kind of like how like Palpatine is in need of somebody.
00:59:37.199 --> 00:59:38.559
Yes, unlimited power.
00:59:38.960 --> 00:59:43.360
There's a rule of two in Egypt that we have to definitely a rule of two, a master and a power.
00:59:43.599 --> 00:59:45.519
Every master has a unlimited power.
00:59:46.559 --> 00:59:46.880
Yeah.
00:59:47.199 --> 00:59:47.920
Power.
00:59:49.119 --> 00:59:50.480
All right, what are the other plot points?
00:59:50.719 --> 00:59:50.880
Sorry.
00:59:51.360 --> 00:59:55.599
Uh digging up Imotep for a WWE match to control Anubis' army.
00:59:55.840 --> 00:59:56.960
He was in a cocoon, right?
00:59:58.639 --> 00:59:58.960
That was weird.
00:59:59.440 --> 01:00:06.159
Well, why was he in taste and like I thought his another thing is he his soul his soul's gone.
01:00:06.320 --> 01:00:08.159
Yeah, they got sent down.
01:00:08.800 --> 01:00:10.480
Feel like that was established in the first movie.
01:00:10.639 --> 01:00:11.039
Oh, okay.
01:00:11.119 --> 01:00:14.079
His soul's gone, and then they brought his soul back in the seance.
01:00:14.400 --> 01:00:15.119
Yes, correct.
01:00:15.360 --> 01:00:17.199
What if that isn't his body?
01:00:17.440 --> 01:00:19.440
What if it's Benny's body?
01:00:20.320 --> 01:00:26.159
That makes more sense because like the liquid he went into, I feel like his body would like Wait, so okay, I kind of forget.
01:00:26.239 --> 01:00:36.000
I know we just watched this movie not too long ago, but I kind of forget like how did they dispose of or get rid of like a in the like jelly water in jelly water?
01:00:36.159 --> 01:00:38.000
Yeah, like an ogre like underworld.
01:00:38.079 --> 01:00:38.880
He kind of got a big thing.
01:00:38.960 --> 01:00:41.360
So like uh so like okay, so let me get this straight.
01:00:41.519 --> 01:00:43.599
A mosquito lands on a dinosaur.
01:00:46.400 --> 01:00:48.079
And then lands on a tree.
01:00:48.320 --> 01:00:54.320
It's an emote DNA in amber.
01:00:56.079 --> 01:00:57.199
That's all connected.
01:00:57.360 --> 01:00:58.559
It's all connected, you're right.
01:00:58.800 --> 01:00:59.679
And voila.
01:01:00.079 --> 01:01:01.039
It's immote.
01:01:03.840 --> 01:01:05.920
Were there other things that didn't make sense, Luke?
01:01:06.239 --> 01:01:08.159
Uh Rick's hidden tattoo.
01:01:08.400 --> 01:01:10.719
No, that one I have the biggest problem with.
01:01:11.039 --> 01:01:17.679
So they they they do this because he wears these these cuffs in the first movies, part of the awesome like outfit.
01:01:17.920 --> 01:01:18.880
The pack sun bracelets.
01:01:19.119 --> 01:01:20.719
The pack sun bracelets, very era.
01:01:21.119 --> 01:01:22.239
Uh very cool.
01:01:22.320 --> 01:01:34.960
Yeah, but they use that to say he's been hiding a tattoo the whole entire time that he got when he was an orphan, which is like, oh, so he was an orphan in Egypt.
01:01:35.280 --> 01:01:38.000
But in the in the novelization, it's another place, by the way.
01:01:38.159 --> 01:01:38.559
Oh, really?
01:01:38.960 --> 01:01:39.519
Animated version.
01:01:39.599 --> 01:01:40.320
So this is okay.
01:01:40.400 --> 01:01:40.639
Here we go.
01:01:40.719 --> 01:01:41.360
The animated series.
01:01:42.880 --> 01:01:43.119
No.
01:01:43.679 --> 01:01:44.239
I just went.
01:01:44.559 --> 01:01:45.199
I do want a copy of it.
01:01:45.360 --> 01:01:47.039
I would not like a copy of the book.
01:01:47.199 --> 01:01:47.840
Yeah, yeah, okay.
01:01:47.920 --> 01:01:49.280
No, for the first time.
01:01:49.360 --> 01:01:51.039
Is there a modern novelization of the first one?
01:01:51.280 --> 01:01:51.440
Yeah.
01:01:51.599 --> 01:01:52.239
Oh, yeah, totally.
01:01:52.480 --> 01:01:54.480
They made one for every movie back in the day.
01:01:54.800 --> 01:01:55.119
Yeah.
01:01:55.280 --> 01:01:58.719
Um, but yeah, there's just confusion around that stuff entirely.
01:01:59.119 --> 01:02:00.559
There's there's no reason.
01:02:01.039 --> 01:02:01.199
Okay.
01:02:01.280 --> 01:02:03.840
It was just to get have him have a backstory.
01:02:04.079 --> 01:02:04.639
Uh okay.
01:02:05.199 --> 01:02:06.079
Did he need it though?
01:02:06.159 --> 01:02:08.159
Like, what is the connection there with that stuff?
01:02:08.400 --> 01:02:13.760
Even with Evelyn, like she is she she's a reincarnated princess of the Pharaoh.
01:02:14.079 --> 01:02:14.559
Yeah, yeah.
01:02:14.639 --> 01:02:16.079
The daughter of the Pharaoh.
01:02:16.320 --> 01:02:20.639
Her job was to protect the spear?
01:02:20.880 --> 01:02:23.519
No, the Anub.
01:02:23.840 --> 01:02:24.480
The bracelet.
01:02:24.719 --> 01:02:25.039
The bracelet.
01:02:25.280 --> 01:02:25.760
The bracelet, right?
01:02:26.159 --> 01:02:26.719
The scorpion king.
01:02:27.039 --> 01:02:27.679
You watched it today.
01:02:27.840 --> 01:02:29.039
The scorpion king bracelet.
01:02:29.119 --> 01:02:29.599
She protected it.
01:02:29.760 --> 01:02:30.480
I watched it a week ago.
01:02:31.760 --> 01:02:35.920
Okay, so then Anuxu was not in in this movie, she was not a cock concubine.
01:02:36.000 --> 01:02:37.199
She was like the fiance.
01:02:37.760 --> 01:02:40.559
Yeah, much more of like a stepmom vibe.
01:02:40.800 --> 01:02:41.119
Yeah.
01:02:41.760 --> 01:02:43.039
It was very much the step-mom.
01:02:43.199 --> 01:02:43.840
Very much the step-momp.
01:02:44.000 --> 01:02:53.280
This reminds me of a bit that Luke did on the Pirates podcast that I swear he was doing, but he claims that he was not doing it, which was in every episode that we did.
01:02:53.599 --> 01:02:54.559
He would say.
01:02:55.119 --> 01:02:57.039
So they had to go to the place to get the thing.
01:02:57.199 --> 01:03:00.239
And then once they got the thing, they went to the place to do the thing of the other thing.
01:03:00.320 --> 01:03:02.000
And I'd be like, Luke, I know what you're doing.
01:03:02.079 --> 01:03:04.239
And he goes, No, I'm just trying to keep it all together.
01:03:05.840 --> 01:03:06.960
This one has exactly that.
01:03:07.199 --> 01:03:07.920
It is, it is.
01:03:08.000 --> 01:03:22.800
And and I think that's very fitting into a great segue to move on to besties, and we're gonna go with the Pirates of the Caribbean Honorary Bestie for Best McGuffin slash Totem, the double scarab key as a callback, the bracelet of Anubis, the aka the mini projector.
01:03:22.880 --> 01:03:23.039
Yeah.
01:03:23.360 --> 01:03:23.920
Way ahead of its time.
01:03:24.079 --> 01:03:31.280
It's the Book of the Dead and the Book of the Living come back, the Lost Oasis, the Scepter slash spear, and the Gold Pyramid.
01:03:31.440 --> 01:03:34.000
Um, so not as many totems, but a decent amount.
01:03:34.079 --> 01:03:36.079
What's your favorite one out of the totems?
01:03:36.320 --> 01:03:38.960
So the gold pyramid, that's the thing that's at the top of the pyramid.
01:03:39.440 --> 01:03:40.800
I would just say the whole pyramid.
01:03:40.960 --> 01:03:41.119
Yeah.
01:03:41.280 --> 01:03:43.920
You could add that, well, and then there's It does come in clutch.
01:03:44.159 --> 01:03:45.199
There's a lot of chests.
01:03:45.360 --> 01:03:46.719
There's three chests in this movie.
01:03:46.960 --> 01:03:48.000
There's the original chest.
01:03:48.320 --> 01:03:49.039
Chess watch.
01:03:49.760 --> 01:03:50.639
Well, hold on.
01:03:50.719 --> 01:03:51.920
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
01:03:52.239 --> 01:03:53.920
It's not that kind of podcast.
01:03:54.800 --> 01:03:55.280
Yeah.
01:03:55.760 --> 01:03:56.480
There's two chests.
01:03:56.800 --> 01:03:58.320
I need to replace dumps, guys.
01:03:59.119 --> 01:04:00.079
The only bird I'm gonna do.
01:04:05.199 --> 01:04:06.239
Wait, wait.
01:04:07.039 --> 01:04:07.440
All right.
01:04:07.760 --> 01:04:08.480
But chess watch.
01:04:08.880 --> 01:04:09.440
Three chess.
01:04:12.079 --> 01:04:12.960
We can't do it.
01:04:13.119 --> 01:04:13.679
Can't do it?
01:04:13.920 --> 01:04:16.320
But the the pyramid does come in clutch, I will say.
01:04:16.559 --> 01:04:16.880
Yes.
01:04:17.360 --> 01:04:18.239
I like it.
01:04:18.400 --> 01:04:19.360
Um it's gold.
01:04:19.599 --> 01:04:20.880
It's the only thing that like keeps them from.
01:04:21.280 --> 01:04:21.760
It keeps them alive.
01:04:21.840 --> 01:04:22.400
Yeah, it keeps them alive.
01:04:22.800 --> 01:04:24.880
They have to climb up the pyramid and then yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:04:25.199 --> 01:04:26.159
Okay, I guess I was confused.
01:04:26.559 --> 01:04:30.480
Because like, what's the thing at the very end of the movie that Jonathan grabs?
01:04:30.719 --> 01:04:32.559
Jonathan grabs just it's a chest.
01:04:32.719 --> 01:04:33.519
It's a chest.
01:04:34.559 --> 01:04:35.199
Is that a chest?
01:04:35.360 --> 01:04:36.159
It's a legit chest.
01:04:36.320 --> 01:04:36.719
It is a box.
01:04:37.119 --> 01:04:39.920
Shannon literally turned to me and she goes, What's the importance of that?
01:04:40.000 --> 01:04:42.079
And I'm like, probably something for the next movie.
01:04:42.400 --> 01:04:44.480
Because the spear is what he took from the first movie, right?
01:04:44.719 --> 01:04:45.119
Yes, yes.
01:04:45.280 --> 01:04:45.760
That's the one.
01:04:46.719 --> 01:04:49.920
That's the idea Jonathan takes something every time and it connects and builds.
01:04:50.079 --> 01:04:51.119
Okay, I actually kind of like the movie.
01:04:51.840 --> 01:04:53.440
I'm on board with the it doesn't ever get him in trouble.
01:04:53.519 --> 01:04:54.320
It didn't get him in trouble.
01:04:54.400 --> 01:04:55.760
I thought it would be like the catalyst for this.
01:04:56.159 --> 01:04:57.519
No, it's no curse, it's nothing.
01:04:57.599 --> 01:04:59.039
It's just it's just the Jonathan judgment.
01:04:59.280 --> 01:05:02.320
No, I'm on I'm on board with the Jonathan stealing something, creating an issue for the next movie.
01:05:02.400 --> 01:05:02.880
I'm cool with that.
01:05:03.119 --> 01:05:05.760
We didn't have an official Brie Paradox, but is it the entire movie?
01:05:05.920 --> 01:05:08.159
Because you said that Shannon started watching this movie with you.
01:05:08.400 --> 01:05:08.880
Shannon?
01:05:08.960 --> 01:05:12.800
Well, Shannon, okay, it's not fair because Shannon literally sat down in the middle of it.
01:05:12.960 --> 01:05:14.000
And doesn't really matter.
01:05:14.239 --> 01:05:22.800
Immediately after she sits down, is one of the scenes with it's like a five-minute scene, all in Egyptian with no subtitles.
01:05:23.280 --> 01:05:24.480
All the flashbacks.
01:05:24.639 --> 01:05:25.280
Yeah.
01:05:26.000 --> 01:05:26.719
The flashbacks.
01:05:27.199 --> 01:05:29.199
This movie is a Brie Paradox.
01:05:29.280 --> 01:05:37.360
Um, let's move on to the Peter Jackson bestie for grimiest moment of the film, eating the scorpion when the rock got food poisoning, apparently.
01:05:37.519 --> 01:05:40.480
Um, just the scorpions guarding the tomb, scorpions everywhere.
01:05:40.559 --> 01:05:41.519
Lots of scorpion work.
01:05:41.760 --> 01:05:43.280
Um, shout out to the scorpion wrangler.
01:05:43.519 --> 01:05:45.119
They also had more than just scarabs, too.
01:05:45.199 --> 01:05:46.079
They had rodents in this one.
01:05:46.320 --> 01:05:47.760
Rodents, yes, like here.
01:05:48.000 --> 01:05:48.880
Pest control should have been.
01:05:49.199 --> 01:05:49.920
Yeah, it was crazy.
01:05:50.000 --> 01:05:59.760
Uh, I would say the scarab geyser, I'm calling it a scarab geyser when they go back to take out uh emotep, it's just a geyser of scarabs that jump out, like old.
01:06:00.159 --> 01:06:00.480
Faithful.
01:06:00.639 --> 01:06:01.039
Yes, it was.
01:06:01.599 --> 01:06:02.559
I thought it was beautiful.
01:06:02.639 --> 01:06:02.800
Yeah.
01:06:02.960 --> 01:06:04.559
Until the scarabstone.
01:06:04.880 --> 01:06:06.000
Until the mur the murder started.
01:06:06.239 --> 01:06:07.760
Is this guy still making movies?
01:06:10.800 --> 01:06:13.920
Um the makeout with the mummy, uh, another good makeout.
01:06:14.000 --> 01:06:15.920
Um, that that wins for me.
01:06:16.000 --> 01:06:16.320
I'm sorry.
01:06:16.880 --> 01:06:18.880
I'm not really not willing to hear the rest of the nominees.
01:06:18.960 --> 01:06:19.440
Yeah, that wins.
01:06:19.599 --> 01:06:21.119
It's it happened in the lat first one, too.
01:06:21.280 --> 01:06:21.599
The first one.
01:06:21.679 --> 01:06:23.039
But this one was like a deep makeup.
01:06:23.199 --> 01:06:23.679
This was continually.
01:06:24.800 --> 01:06:25.440
Yeah, she liked it.
01:06:25.679 --> 01:06:36.000
The thing with this one was not only was it like a deep, very like interest, weird thing that happened, but like the CGI was also terrible.
01:06:36.639 --> 01:06:41.119
So that's uh the skin like who was she kissing in real life?
01:06:41.440 --> 01:06:43.679
Yes, uh, she was just a guy, a guy in green.
01:06:44.400 --> 01:06:45.199
Guy in green, I hope.
01:06:46.320 --> 01:06:49.440
Um the skin transfers, the pygmy mummies.
01:06:49.599 --> 01:07:00.639
Um, also, we've talked about it already in reference tip, but uh a timeless wisdom throughout all cinema is don't go in the long grass.
01:07:00.880 --> 01:07:02.239
Oh, yes, I thought about it.
01:07:02.480 --> 01:07:03.760
The red guards went in the long grass.
01:07:04.079 --> 01:07:07.840
I wouldn't call that a grimy moment, but that was 100% on my mind when I was watching.
01:07:08.159 --> 01:07:12.400
I thought they were monkeys at first, but that the they're more offensive than that.
01:07:12.559 --> 01:07:14.800
They're pygmies because the shrunken head thing is also part of that.
01:07:15.599 --> 01:07:17.280
Very it's not HL.
01:07:17.360 --> 01:07:18.960
Uh the tar pits, there's some tar pits.
01:07:19.039 --> 01:07:20.159
We had quicksand in the first movie.
01:07:20.320 --> 01:07:22.480
It's some like kind of tar pits, which I liked.
01:07:22.639 --> 01:07:26.000
Um the scorpion anus carving the hand.
01:07:26.079 --> 01:07:30.480
Uh, do you remember when when the guy sticks his hand in the scorpion anus?
01:07:30.559 --> 01:07:32.719
Oh, he pulls it out and it's just his bone.
01:07:32.880 --> 01:07:33.760
Was that an anus?
01:07:34.079 --> 01:07:36.480
Um it was a hole.
01:07:37.039 --> 01:07:39.440
I I'll be honest, I don't know what it was.
01:07:39.679 --> 01:07:42.800
Um, it was a hole, and there was scorpion stuff around it.
01:07:42.880 --> 01:07:50.559
And then um the famous uh Immotep Underworld uh trust fall at the end.
01:07:50.639 --> 01:07:50.960
Oh, yeah.
01:07:52.480 --> 01:07:55.039
Which I thought it was actually kind of beautiful because there was no trust anymore.
01:07:55.199 --> 01:07:56.639
What's the spirit of this category?
01:07:56.960 --> 01:07:58.800
I feel like there's a lot in here that's not grimy.
01:07:59.039 --> 01:08:00.559
I was trying to fit in some grimy stuff.
01:08:00.639 --> 01:08:02.320
Yeah, I mean the underworld's a little grimy.
01:08:02.559 --> 01:08:08.960
I mean, the fast motion, slow motion thing was another one I would add to this because it's very Peter Jackson, like that slow motion, low frame rate thing.
01:08:09.039 --> 01:08:09.360
Yeah.
01:08:09.519 --> 01:08:13.440
Um, ghosting effect, but then like weird time remapping.
01:08:13.599 --> 01:08:15.920
Um, that was my most jarring part.
01:08:16.159 --> 01:08:16.720
That was jarring.
01:08:16.880 --> 01:08:17.920
This fight was the worst.
01:08:18.000 --> 01:08:20.319
It was also let's just throw a spear at people.
01:08:20.640 --> 01:08:22.640
Also, we didn't actually get the WWE fight.
01:08:22.720 --> 01:08:29.199
Like Emotep doesn't fight the Scorpion King, which is like built up the entire movie, and you're like, great, Emotep versus Scorpion King.
01:08:29.279 --> 01:08:32.640
And he then he like immediately is like, Oh, I'm a servant of you.
01:08:32.800 --> 01:08:33.439
He pulls a betty.
01:08:33.520 --> 01:08:34.560
Is that what he pulls a benny?
01:08:34.720 --> 01:08:35.199
Is that what he said?
01:08:35.359 --> 01:08:38.159
I thought he was worshiping his moisturized skin.
01:08:39.039 --> 01:08:41.680
He was worshiping the moisture of the scorpion king.
01:08:42.479 --> 01:08:46.319
All right, so we have you said make out with a mummy, and you have the frame rates.
01:08:46.399 --> 01:08:47.760
Um because that was the makeout.
01:08:48.159 --> 01:08:50.880
I thought the scorpion anus was definitely hands.
01:08:51.520 --> 01:08:51.760
I don't know.
01:08:51.840 --> 01:08:56.159
I didn't identify it as an anus, but yeah, that's I really wasn't looking at the positioning of the whole.
01:08:57.359 --> 01:08:59.279
Why did you pause it for 20 minutes?
01:08:59.439 --> 01:09:02.239
He's trying to figure out what trying to figure out this podcast.
01:09:02.479 --> 01:09:04.079
It's a long reach, but we need it.
01:09:04.319 --> 01:09:04.560
All right.
01:09:05.920 --> 01:09:09.039
This is a sequel, so we're doing a new category called Best Callback.
01:09:09.119 --> 01:09:09.359
Yeah.
01:09:09.439 --> 01:09:15.600
Uh the library bookshall fall with the pillars when Alex knocks down all the pillars, just like his mom.
01:09:15.840 --> 01:09:17.119
It's like two minutes into the movie.
01:09:18.880 --> 01:09:19.920
Ha ha ha.
01:09:21.760 --> 01:09:22.960
I do not remember it.
01:09:23.039 --> 01:09:32.239
Yeah, the Book of the Dead, uh, the Scarab Attack, of course, um, the urn, uh, where Imitep resurrects his bodyguards.
01:09:32.399 --> 01:09:32.880
Yeah.
01:09:33.119 --> 01:09:34.720
Uh chess.
01:09:35.760 --> 01:09:36.399
Chess.
01:09:37.199 --> 01:09:39.039
We had that bread.
01:09:39.199 --> 01:09:42.159
Uh the Goldman group gets an appearance in one of the flashbacks.
01:09:42.239 --> 01:09:43.520
I don't know if you noticed the gold man group.
01:09:43.680 --> 01:09:44.000
Oh, yeah.
01:09:44.479 --> 01:09:45.119
Yes, yes, yes.
01:09:45.199 --> 01:09:46.319
Um great.
01:09:46.640 --> 01:09:50.800
Yeah, as they're all following Imitep, and there's like that moment where it was great to see those guys.
01:09:50.960 --> 01:09:52.640
They get a whiff of each other as they walk past each other.
01:09:52.720 --> 01:09:56.960
And then one of my favorites, the Brimbridge scholars have been begging me to run the British Museum.
01:09:57.199 --> 01:09:59.920
I like that change in like uh her status with the Bremburg.
01:10:00.960 --> 01:10:03.359
Now they're begging for her to participate.
01:10:03.520 --> 01:10:04.000
That's good.
01:10:04.319 --> 01:10:15.920
Um, I'm gonna submit an honorary nominee for the honorary category of um, and that is just the just the role that the spear plays throughout the entire movie.
01:10:16.159 --> 01:10:17.439
The whole thing is a callback.
01:10:17.760 --> 01:10:26.720
And then and then uh now knowing that John that the chest that he steals at the very end is part of the next movie, that I think I don't know.
01:10:26.800 --> 01:10:27.439
We'll we'll find out.
01:10:27.520 --> 01:10:28.479
I have not seen the third movie.
01:10:28.560 --> 01:10:30.239
I don't know how it connects to China, but yeah, somehow.
01:10:31.439 --> 01:10:32.960
Yeah, that's uh spoiler.
01:10:33.039 --> 01:10:33.199
Sorry.
01:10:33.439 --> 01:10:33.920
Spoiler.
01:10:35.520 --> 01:10:36.319
But what were you saying?
01:10:36.399 --> 01:10:39.119
You said that that's a yeah, there's just that that it is a great callback.
01:10:39.359 --> 01:10:45.840
Because like we know it's talked about, like they they argue it with the blimp driver, like they like they both like are trying to fight over it.
01:10:46.159 --> 01:10:58.640
Really had forgotten about it until like and then it's great because you wouldn't have to have the subtitles because uh we see the use of what it is written on the wall right in the scorpion king tomb, of that it becomes a uh spear.
01:10:58.800 --> 01:11:06.640
It just it's a it's a healthy it's like we being on uh uh uh an airplane where it has kind of like the the visual diagrams so you know what to do.
01:11:06.800 --> 01:11:10.079
Like grab the oxygen mask, put it on the children first.
01:11:10.159 --> 01:11:10.880
It's the same thing.
01:11:11.039 --> 01:11:14.000
Grab the scepter, turn it into a spear, and kill the scorpion king.
01:11:14.079 --> 01:11:14.560
It's easy.
01:11:14.640 --> 01:11:16.159
Come on, didn't follow that?
01:11:16.319 --> 01:11:17.439
Don't don't you read walls?
01:11:17.600 --> 01:11:18.079
Don't you read?
01:11:18.239 --> 01:11:18.560
I do.
01:11:18.640 --> 01:11:19.279
I do.
01:11:19.600 --> 01:11:24.079
Alex did best line hun, let's do it your way.
01:11:24.640 --> 01:11:25.520
That was a fun one.
01:11:25.680 --> 01:11:27.279
There was a little sexual innuendo there.
01:11:27.359 --> 01:11:28.239
I don't know if you guys caught that.
01:11:28.319 --> 01:11:28.800
I I caught it.
01:11:28.880 --> 01:11:30.960
You guys oh, there was sexual innuendo in this movie?
01:11:31.039 --> 01:11:32.239
Yeah, I guess I missed all of that.
01:11:32.479 --> 01:11:36.399
Yes, um, because it was they anyways, hun, let's do it your way.
01:11:36.560 --> 01:11:37.199
There was another way.
01:11:37.279 --> 01:11:43.680
They're about to that I learned from your father once um Evy gets superpowers.
01:11:43.840 --> 01:11:47.680
Yeah, so was she does have superpowers in this?
01:11:48.000 --> 01:11:49.760
So she was a reincarnation.
01:11:50.000 --> 01:11:57.680
Was the other was Imotep's bae, was she a reincarnation?
01:11:57.920 --> 01:12:00.159
She just looked like or just looked like her, right?
01:12:00.319 --> 01:12:10.319
I had a moment because I thought the whole idea in this movie is that they gave her a backstory of like my mom or like my I'm related to the original character, but they don't even talk about that.
01:12:10.479 --> 01:12:11.520
No, it's just like she's there.
01:12:11.920 --> 01:12:12.479
No, why would they?
01:12:12.560 --> 01:12:13.119
That would make too much.
01:12:13.359 --> 01:12:22.640
Yeah, she just happens to have like a really like weird kink where she just wants to get possessed by the spirit of a 3000 very dry skinned mommy.
01:12:22.720 --> 01:12:24.560
Yeah, yeah, not enough moisture.
01:12:24.720 --> 01:12:26.079
Um I like this.
01:12:26.159 --> 01:12:28.479
This is uh great Brennan Fraser delivery.
01:12:28.720 --> 01:12:31.520
You lighten up, you in big trouble, you get in the car.
01:12:31.760 --> 01:12:35.199
That's like one of the few like Rick things for the city.
01:12:35.359 --> 01:12:38.399
I felt like Rick did not have enough in this movie.
01:12:38.640 --> 01:12:40.880
Oh god, and it's better with uh no sound.
01:12:40.960 --> 01:12:42.000
Yes, it's great in a bar.
01:12:43.039 --> 01:12:44.640
Because you don't need to remember any of it.
01:12:44.800 --> 01:12:49.840
Uh Jonathan, uh, he's fun in this movie, he plays himself, uh, but uh I like this.
01:12:50.000 --> 01:12:52.239
The old wipe out the world ploy.
01:12:54.159 --> 01:12:56.239
Saying what exactly the audience is thinking.
01:12:56.560 --> 01:12:57.119
Yes.
01:12:57.439 --> 01:12:59.520
They do that a few times in this movie.
01:12:59.760 --> 01:13:04.319
It actually reminds me, it's like, oh, this is like pre-Marvel quip era type of writing.
01:13:04.960 --> 01:13:06.079
It's fascinating.
01:13:06.239 --> 01:13:09.520
Uh Ardeth, I prefer the Thompson when they were going through the guns.
01:13:09.840 --> 01:13:10.560
Most useless gun.
01:13:10.800 --> 01:13:11.119
That was good.
01:13:11.279 --> 01:13:12.159
Yeah, I like.
01:13:12.640 --> 01:13:14.880
Um sorry, I have a problem with Ardeth.
01:13:14.960 --> 01:13:15.439
I'm sorry.
01:13:15.680 --> 01:13:16.800
Do you want to talk about that now?
01:13:16.960 --> 01:13:20.640
Uh, I mean, the Thompson wasn't effective against the mummies, neither the shotgun.
01:13:20.880 --> 01:13:21.119
Yes.
01:13:21.279 --> 01:13:22.560
We all know that it wasn't helpful.
01:13:24.560 --> 01:13:26.800
I was I thought he got a lot more time in this movie.
01:13:26.880 --> 01:13:29.840
Do you do you think his character was buffooned a little bit?
01:13:30.000 --> 01:13:30.159
Yes.
01:13:30.319 --> 01:13:30.640
Yeah.
01:13:30.800 --> 01:13:31.199
I think so.
01:13:31.520 --> 01:13:32.239
I think so too.
01:13:32.479 --> 01:13:34.960
He didn't have to come like into the oasis with them.
01:13:35.119 --> 01:13:39.920
I feel like it would have been better to just keep him because he wanted to go like talk to the generals of the armies, right?
01:13:41.039 --> 01:13:47.840
I think that there's a there's a place for him in a prequel because there's obviously so much history he has.
01:13:48.720 --> 01:13:51.840
I think without having seen any of the other movies.
01:13:52.159 --> 01:13:52.479
Okay.
01:13:52.800 --> 01:13:57.279
I think the best placement for him would be the Scorpion King.
01:13:57.520 --> 01:13:57.760
No.
01:13:58.079 --> 01:14:07.439
In the movie that sh uh maybe he leads the force that separates the god of death.
01:14:07.680 --> 01:14:08.239
Oh, yeah.
01:14:08.479 --> 01:14:09.119
You know what I mean?
01:14:09.279 --> 01:14:09.520
Yeah.
01:14:09.840 --> 01:14:10.960
That would be cool.
01:14:11.199 --> 01:14:13.199
Um, a few other lines here.
01:14:13.520 --> 01:14:14.720
Honey, what are you doing?
01:14:14.800 --> 01:14:18.399
These guys don't use cars or don't use cars or don't use walls or doors.
01:14:18.479 --> 01:14:18.880
No, sorry.
01:14:19.119 --> 01:14:19.760
They don't use doors.
01:14:19.920 --> 01:14:20.800
Honey, what are you doing?
01:14:20.960 --> 01:14:22.640
These guys don't use doors.
01:14:22.880 --> 01:14:26.560
Uh the line that's delivered, which is the trailer line.
01:14:26.720 --> 01:14:28.640
Oh, I hate mummies.
01:14:28.960 --> 01:14:31.600
Art of this says, uh, this was my first bus ride.
01:14:31.840 --> 01:14:32.239
That was good.
01:14:32.319 --> 01:14:33.359
I thought that was a good one.
01:14:34.079 --> 01:14:40.560
Spivey, one of the uh kind of disposable, not Americans this time, they're British.
01:14:40.720 --> 01:14:41.359
Yeah.
01:14:41.600 --> 01:14:45.039
Um You Ain't Happy Without a Good Curse.
01:14:45.600 --> 01:14:48.560
Which I I'm glad they call out how terrible the writing is.
01:14:48.800 --> 01:14:49.439
Yeah.
01:14:49.920 --> 01:14:50.479
Alright.
01:14:50.720 --> 01:14:51.439
None of those are good.
01:14:51.680 --> 01:14:52.079
That was it?
01:14:52.239 --> 01:14:53.439
No, here's the best one.
01:14:53.840 --> 01:14:54.159
Okay.
01:14:54.319 --> 01:14:55.119
None of them are best.
01:14:56.560 --> 01:14:57.600
Here's the best one.
01:14:58.880 --> 01:15:00.079
Horace the Falcon.
01:15:00.239 --> 01:15:01.039
Yeah, I wondered.
01:15:01.439 --> 01:15:03.439
My best and most clever friend.
01:15:05.039 --> 01:15:05.359
Okay.
01:15:05.600 --> 01:15:07.039
I talked about Ardith a little bit.
01:15:07.199 --> 01:15:07.760
Horace.
01:15:08.000 --> 01:15:12.079
Horace the Falcon is artist, oh, as he says, my best and most clever friend.
01:15:12.239 --> 01:15:18.000
He is a Falcon who does uh message he does messaging um uh to the other groups.
01:15:18.640 --> 01:15:20.960
This character wins the movie for me.
01:15:21.199 --> 01:15:23.039
He uh deserved a lot more.
01:15:23.199 --> 01:15:27.119
He sacrificed his life for the group, uh, traveled many miles.
01:15:27.199 --> 01:15:30.800
Uh he escaped the emotep water ride.
01:15:30.960 --> 01:15:38.800
Uh he did so much to communicate and make sure that there was a force ready for their uh Anubis' army.
01:15:39.119 --> 01:15:42.640
He loved, he gave, he sacrificed everything.
01:15:42.880 --> 01:15:46.000
The last scene that he's in, he was doing his job and doing it well.
01:15:46.239 --> 01:15:47.279
He's doing it well, and Mr.
01:15:47.359 --> 01:15:48.319
Echo took that from him.
01:15:48.560 --> 01:15:48.880
Yes.
01:15:49.039 --> 01:15:52.479
Uh and he he did get his comeuppance um in the final battle.
01:15:52.800 --> 01:15:55.359
Um I was hoping we'd we'd we got a line.
01:15:55.520 --> 01:15:57.840
We didn't get a line about Horace.
01:15:58.319 --> 01:15:59.760
I was waiting for it.
01:16:00.000 --> 01:16:01.119
That's for Horace.
01:16:01.520 --> 01:16:02.319
We didn't get any of that.
01:16:02.479 --> 01:16:05.680
It is definitely like Gandalf and Shadow Facts in a lot of ways.
01:16:05.920 --> 01:16:13.119
It is Shadow Facts, and just go into like there's clearly like a history of Falcons, and he's the Falcon Lord, uh King of the Falcons.
01:16:13.279 --> 01:16:16.800
Yes, and uh I need I need I need a backstory.
01:16:16.880 --> 01:16:23.920
I need a full movie of the adventures of Horror Horace and Ardeth and their how they're defending against the evil cursing.
01:16:24.319 --> 01:16:26.159
I think that's in Scorpion King 3.
01:16:28.560 --> 01:16:30.560
Just doing my research before this.
01:16:31.119 --> 01:16:33.600
You know, it's not easy being a dad.
01:16:33.760 --> 01:16:34.960
Oh, that was a cute one.
01:16:35.039 --> 01:16:41.039
And then my one of my favorites, Jonathan! It opens up into a spear! Uh, and those are my best lines.
01:16:41.199 --> 01:16:42.159
Any other lines I missed?
01:16:42.319 --> 01:16:43.279
Oh, there was one in there.
01:16:43.359 --> 01:16:46.000
I was hoping you would capture it because I thought about it when they said it.
01:16:46.079 --> 01:16:47.520
So I'm sorry, listeners, I can't remember.
01:16:48.079 --> 01:16:50.399
What in the name of Anubius is this?
01:16:50.720 --> 01:16:52.079
It's in lock and line.
01:16:52.479 --> 01:16:53.039
That's a good one.
01:16:53.279 --> 01:16:57.600
I guess that tells you that it is a cult because he says, What in the name of Anubius is this?
01:16:58.479 --> 01:16:59.199
I had one.
01:16:59.359 --> 01:16:59.680
Okay.
01:17:00.079 --> 01:17:06.000
By putting this bracelet on, you've started a chain reaction that will start the apocalypse.
01:17:06.159 --> 01:17:07.359
It's like, fuck.
01:17:07.920 --> 01:17:09.039
Okay, cool.
01:17:09.359 --> 01:17:14.159
It's a call back to the the line in the first movie with the creature we have field for thousands of years.
01:17:14.399 --> 01:17:14.880
Yeah.
01:17:15.119 --> 01:17:16.720
But it just doesn't hit as much.
01:17:16.960 --> 01:17:23.119
If the Scorpion King think it came back, would it be like the apocalypse, or would it just be kind of a bummer for the desert?
01:17:23.279 --> 01:17:25.920
Like, I don't think I don't think it the stakes were high.
01:17:26.159 --> 01:17:28.640
No, we it was none of the stakes were high.
01:17:28.720 --> 01:17:39.359
I feel like so much is confusing that we've talked about, but I just think they really missed that they set up this showdown and it was not a showdown.
01:17:39.439 --> 01:17:39.840
Yeah.
01:17:40.079 --> 01:17:41.520
And it's a fair assessment.
01:17:42.159 --> 01:17:47.840
If you're gonna make a WWE movie and have a WWE star, one don't see GIM.
01:17:48.800 --> 01:17:54.960
This movie would be so much better if they just had the rock as the Scorpion King battling Immotep with magic powers.
01:17:55.039 --> 01:17:57.359
Like also, they've taken away Immotep's magic powers.
01:17:57.439 --> 01:17:59.920
I didn't like yeah, like when he once he's in the pyramid.
01:18:00.239 --> 01:18:01.439
Yeah, what's the story behind that?
01:18:01.600 --> 01:18:02.560
No, there's subtitles.
01:18:03.279 --> 01:18:04.399
They just wanted to make him a coward.
01:18:04.560 --> 01:18:05.600
That I think that's pretty much it.
01:18:05.760 --> 01:18:08.640
And that's why I hate it because it Imotep is a great character.
01:18:09.279 --> 01:18:15.600
I love that character in the first movie, and he's I it's fine that they brought him back, but it's like don't make him not cool.
01:18:15.760 --> 01:18:18.960
I liked his ending where he he he his heart breaks.
01:18:19.039 --> 01:18:20.319
I think that's a beautiful part.
01:18:20.479 --> 01:18:23.760
Yeah, that's a beautiful part, and they could have kept that, but like make him awesome.
01:18:23.920 --> 01:18:26.159
Yeah, don't make him like this.
01:18:26.399 --> 01:18:27.439
Don't make him Benny.
01:18:27.600 --> 01:18:29.840
Yeah, don't make him Benny, don't make him a coward.
01:18:30.159 --> 01:18:31.760
Why even bring him back?
01:18:32.319 --> 01:18:33.840
They had to have a mummy for this.
01:18:34.000 --> 01:18:34.800
I think that's the thing.
01:18:35.279 --> 01:18:39.520
In order to have a mummy return, you have to have mummy returns for some reason.
01:18:39.680 --> 01:18:42.079
Otherwise, it would have just been the mummy, the scorpion king.
01:18:42.239 --> 01:18:42.560
Yeah.
01:18:42.720 --> 01:18:45.920
Oh, so so Scorpion CGI, they Hercules.
01:18:46.000 --> 01:18:46.800
You guys remember that show?
01:18:46.960 --> 01:18:47.199
Yes.
01:18:47.359 --> 01:18:49.279
They had centaurs in that that looked so much better.
01:18:49.680 --> 01:18:50.479
It's the same concept.
01:18:50.800 --> 01:18:51.279
It is.
01:18:51.600 --> 01:18:52.479
How can you not centaurs?
01:18:52.800 --> 01:18:53.920
The centaurs in Harry Potter.
01:18:54.159 --> 01:18:56.399
Like, there's so many examples that were so much better.
01:18:56.479 --> 01:19:00.000
Yeah, it's it is it is terrible.
01:19:00.239 --> 01:19:05.520
Just well, okay, so I okay in the defense, just a little bit, right?
01:19:05.680 --> 01:19:07.199
It is only a 90 million dollar budget.
01:19:07.359 --> 01:19:08.560
Don't fall on the sword.
01:19:08.800 --> 01:19:12.000
And don't fall on the there was a lot of CGI.
01:19:12.079 --> 01:19:18.479
So I I don't think I don't think that the issue is that the CGI in isolated incidents is bad.
01:19:18.640 --> 01:19:19.359
It's the problem.
01:19:19.520 --> 01:19:23.600
The problem is they had so much CGI, the budget was spread thin.
01:19:23.840 --> 01:19:26.079
So if they had you're actually right, I agree.
01:19:26.159 --> 01:19:28.880
Like this is we're we talked about this in the first movie.
01:19:29.199 --> 01:19:34.399
We are the next year is the Clone Wars, which is was shot all on blue screen.
01:19:34.479 --> 01:19:34.880
Boof.
01:19:35.199 --> 01:19:43.760
Um so like we I I think that's a great point, Mike, is where we're at the precipice where Hollywood is over becoming over reliant on CGI.
01:19:43.920 --> 01:19:51.680
We're about to hit kind of that breaking point, and the reason that the first movie holds up is the reason why this movie does not.
01:19:51.840 --> 01:19:52.079
Yeah.
01:19:52.239 --> 01:20:02.399
I mean, in film, there's always a technical achievement that gets overused and then finally finds its niche in film after many, many atrocities.
01:20:02.560 --> 01:20:02.800
Yes.
01:20:03.359 --> 01:20:05.840
So there's a lot of those things that pop up over the years.
01:20:06.000 --> 01:20:12.319
So which we haven't talked much about the new movie that's gonna be coming out um in a couple years.
01:20:12.399 --> 01:20:14.479
Uh Brennan Frazier was just on Jimmy Fallon.
01:20:14.640 --> 01:20:16.960
He did give us some hints of what to come.
01:20:17.119 --> 01:20:21.439
Uh, they are retconning the next movie, so maybe we'll talk about this.
01:20:21.920 --> 01:20:23.680
Um, they're gonna shoot on location.
01:20:23.840 --> 01:20:30.640
I hope they get back to the parts of the first movie that are just great.
01:20:30.720 --> 01:20:33.840
Um I don't mind him being on sets and stuff, that's fine.
01:20:33.920 --> 01:20:36.000
But yeah, the over reliance on CGI.
01:20:36.079 --> 01:20:52.720
I would love to see a tons of like practical effects, horror effects on this new movie because I think they have a huge opportunity to make it fun, campy for all ages, but like grounded in not what this was.
01:20:52.960 --> 01:21:00.079
I hope they learn from their mistakes, but also at the same time, right now there's a lot of mistakes happening in just regular film for this kind of stuff.
01:21:00.399 --> 01:21:01.359
So yeah, yeah.
01:21:01.439 --> 01:21:03.520
Well, it's the same, it's the same issue, right?
01:21:03.760 --> 01:21:06.319
Where um the studios have found a new tool.
01:21:06.479 --> 01:21:08.640
This time it's called artificial intelligence, yeah, yeah.
01:21:08.880 --> 01:21:11.600
And they're like, how can we fit it into everything?
01:21:12.079 --> 01:21:14.239
Guys, what if they just make it as AI?
01:21:14.319 --> 01:21:16.720
Like most of it's AI, except for Brendan Fraser.
01:21:17.279 --> 01:21:18.000
No, it wouldn't.
01:21:18.319 --> 01:21:19.600
Rachel Wise wouldn't sign up.
01:21:19.920 --> 01:21:20.560
She would not sign up.
01:21:21.039 --> 01:21:21.359
She's back.
01:21:21.520 --> 01:21:21.920
She is back.
01:21:22.079 --> 01:21:22.800
She's not in the middle of the body.
01:21:23.119 --> 01:21:23.760
Why would you say that?
01:21:23.920 --> 01:21:24.159
Yes.
01:21:24.319 --> 01:21:26.560
She she's got bills to pay.
01:21:27.359 --> 01:21:28.880
But she's done some amazing stuff.
01:21:29.279 --> 01:21:30.720
She does not have bills to pay.
01:21:30.960 --> 01:21:33.920
Her husband Her husband makes no money.
01:21:35.039 --> 01:21:36.640
She has no bills to pay.
01:21:36.800 --> 01:21:37.439
She is fine.
01:21:37.600 --> 01:21:37.840
Yeah.
01:21:38.000 --> 01:21:39.119
Alright, best scene.
01:21:39.199 --> 01:21:49.039
Uh, the Scorpion King cold open, digging up Immotep, the house battle, Rick jumping through the fire and the gunfight with the double ducker bus to the bridge, which I think is great.
01:21:49.119 --> 01:21:49.439
I love it.
01:21:49.520 --> 01:21:57.119
When that's the best use of slow motion when Rick jumps through the fire to save Evie when she's on, like about to be be sacrificed.
01:21:57.359 --> 01:21:58.000
Yeah.
01:21:58.319 --> 01:22:08.159
I agree, and I think the reason why that is such a good use of slow motion is fire is very difficult to capture on film.
01:22:08.319 --> 01:22:08.560
Yeah.
01:22:08.720 --> 01:22:08.960
Right?
01:22:09.119 --> 01:22:20.000
Or like even on digital digital film, but like um, and so you kind of need because you have so much contrast of like the darkness behind the fire with the light of the fire.
01:22:20.079 --> 01:22:22.000
Now I'm getting into film theory.
01:22:23.039 --> 01:22:24.079
He's a gaffer, guys.
01:22:26.560 --> 01:22:31.600
Otherwise, the shot of Brennan Fazer jumping over the fire is completely useless.
01:22:31.840 --> 01:22:32.079
Yes.
01:22:32.239 --> 01:22:33.199
Mike the DP.
01:22:33.439 --> 01:22:33.760
I know.
01:22:33.920 --> 01:22:34.319
Look at this.
01:22:34.399 --> 01:22:34.800
Look at it.
01:22:34.880 --> 01:22:35.920
We're rubbing off on you.
01:22:36.000 --> 01:22:37.039
I've I'm very impressed.
01:22:37.119 --> 01:22:38.640
That's like film theory.
01:22:38.720 --> 01:22:39.039
Yes.
01:22:39.359 --> 01:22:40.239
I like the bus.
01:22:40.399 --> 01:22:41.840
Uh the bus is great.
01:22:42.319 --> 01:22:43.279
I love that fight.
01:22:43.439 --> 01:22:47.520
It's it's it's it's it's it's frenetic, it's moving.
01:22:47.840 --> 01:22:49.760
Comes in, there's humor of it.
01:22:49.840 --> 01:22:50.000
Yeah.
01:22:50.159 --> 01:22:52.560
It's it's a well choreographed designed fight.
01:22:52.640 --> 01:22:54.800
It's it's probably the the highlight of the movie.
01:22:54.880 --> 01:22:59.359
Um, we also have meeting Izzy and Horace, um, both two great characters.
01:22:59.600 --> 01:23:02.640
The Oasis battle, aka the battle for Horace.
01:23:04.800 --> 01:23:06.560
The battle for Horace.
01:23:07.119 --> 01:23:07.680
Vengeance.
01:23:08.000 --> 01:23:08.800
Vengeance is vengeance.
01:23:09.119 --> 01:23:09.680
Driven by vengeance.
01:23:10.079 --> 01:23:12.000
And then um Imagine if Horace was there though.
01:23:12.079 --> 01:23:12.640
He could have just sworn.
01:23:13.359 --> 01:23:13.920
I know there's so much.
01:23:14.479 --> 01:23:15.920
They missed that a huge opportunity.
01:23:16.479 --> 01:23:18.479
Um just like battle.
01:23:18.720 --> 01:23:19.199
It's perfect.
01:23:19.439 --> 01:23:20.960
Great, great life for like size.
01:23:21.199 --> 01:23:27.600
And then the Mortal Kombat gong fight slash the Magi Rahirum charge slash the resurrection fight.
01:23:27.680 --> 01:23:28.960
Uh so much slow-mo.
01:23:29.199 --> 01:23:40.479
I mean, good for them in like the second wave of Anubis' like warriors where like they're like they like are really proud that they beat all of them and then very quickly, too.
01:23:40.640 --> 01:23:51.119
Yeah, and but like they've lost all their horses, and then it's like you're right, very quickly, but um character's name, main dude Ardeth.
01:23:52.000 --> 01:23:52.720
Yeah, yeah.
01:23:52.880 --> 01:23:57.039
Um, he's the only one that seems to recognize like that.
01:23:57.119 --> 01:23:58.079
It was too easy, yeah.
01:23:58.159 --> 01:23:58.880
Yeah, which is great.
01:23:58.960 --> 01:24:00.159
I just great which is great.
01:24:01.600 --> 01:24:04.399
I he has bad lines, but he is a good character, I think.
01:24:05.039 --> 01:24:06.399
I he's still my favorite character.
01:24:06.560 --> 01:24:07.359
Probably my favorite character.
01:24:07.520 --> 01:24:08.319
I actually really liked him.
01:24:08.399 --> 01:24:08.960
I really like it.
01:24:09.039 --> 01:24:09.520
I just don't.
01:24:09.680 --> 01:24:12.720
I don't think they gave him I think they gave him too much like comedy.
01:24:12.880 --> 01:24:15.840
They're trying to like he I like it when he's more mysterious.
01:24:16.239 --> 01:24:20.319
It was like a little too much it's a screen time, he's just not with the gang too much, I think.
01:24:20.479 --> 01:24:27.359
Yeah, it's too much Scooby Gang with him, or I like how he's kind of the wise mentor coming in and coming out.
01:24:27.439 --> 01:24:30.479
Yeah, I think that's better suited for him rather being part of the Scooby gang.
01:24:30.640 --> 01:24:32.479
Let the tattoos speak for themselves for him, yeah.
01:24:32.880 --> 01:24:34.720
In the beauty in his beautiful face.
01:24:34.960 --> 01:24:40.239
Uh so favorite scene better or best scene you guys think double deck or bus, probably.
01:24:40.399 --> 01:24:40.880
I'm bus.
01:24:41.199 --> 01:24:43.359
I like the I actually I do like the bus scene.
01:24:43.439 --> 01:24:45.520
I actually like the scene right before that at the house more.
01:24:45.680 --> 01:24:48.079
Yeah, how I think the house battle is fun.
01:24:48.159 --> 01:24:49.520
I I I really enjoy that.
01:24:49.680 --> 01:24:50.960
It's it's a different setting.
01:24:51.199 --> 01:24:53.039
I have questions like how do we got there?
01:24:53.199 --> 01:24:53.760
I don't know.
01:24:53.920 --> 01:24:55.840
But um They just went home, dude.
01:24:57.359 --> 01:24:58.239
They just went home.
01:24:58.479 --> 01:24:59.439
You mean how they got the house?
01:24:59.680 --> 01:25:00.319
Well, all of that.
01:25:00.640 --> 01:25:00.960
All of it.
01:25:01.600 --> 01:25:03.920
Is it the family home, or is that like so?
01:25:04.000 --> 01:25:04.800
That's the question.
01:25:04.960 --> 01:25:09.119
Is is Evie and Jonathan come from lots of money.
01:25:09.199 --> 01:25:09.840
Yeah.
01:25:10.319 --> 01:25:13.279
Or did they acquire the money through their raids?
01:25:13.520 --> 01:25:14.159
We don't know.
01:25:14.239 --> 01:25:15.279
I think it's a mixture of both.
01:25:15.600 --> 01:25:16.880
I think she had she had money.
01:25:17.199 --> 01:25:18.720
Did Rick marry Evie for the money?
01:25:18.880 --> 01:25:22.800
Absolutely, totally money, beauty, and smarts.
01:25:22.960 --> 01:25:23.119
Yeah.
01:25:23.359 --> 01:25:25.439
And then now like uh combat skills.
01:25:25.600 --> 01:25:27.840
Yeah, they're clearly the intimacy is still strong.
01:25:28.319 --> 01:25:29.840
I mean, they are inspired.
01:25:30.159 --> 01:25:32.399
I have a I have a submission for the best scene.
01:25:32.479 --> 01:25:32.640
Yeah.
01:25:32.880 --> 01:25:33.840
That you didn't mention.
01:25:34.479 --> 01:25:35.840
Thank you for reminding me of this.
01:25:36.640 --> 01:25:41.920
The scene where Rick is explaining to Evie how to use a gun.
01:25:42.159 --> 01:25:42.640
Yes.
01:25:42.880 --> 01:25:43.840
That's my favorite scene.
01:25:44.000 --> 01:25:45.359
The man splaining of how to use a gun.
01:25:45.600 --> 01:25:53.039
Well, it's not the man splaining because he the way the reason he's explaining it is not because he doesn't think she can use the gun.
01:25:53.279 --> 01:25:56.159
He's actually showing nerves for the first time.
01:25:56.319 --> 01:25:56.800
Oh, that's right.
01:25:57.119 --> 01:26:00.880
And he's actually like his character is actually showing concern for her.
01:26:01.199 --> 01:26:01.600
That's a good point.
01:26:01.680 --> 01:26:06.479
Yeah, he's actually doing it like she's like, I got it, but he's doing it because it's he's nervous.
01:26:06.720 --> 01:26:10.800
He's like, I don't know how to say goodbye, so I'm gonna instead tell you how to use a gun.
01:26:11.039 --> 01:26:17.680
It's it's interesting because that's a better that was a better like emotional scene than the actual like dramatic shit stab scene.
01:26:17.920 --> 01:26:18.479
Yeah, I think.
01:26:18.720 --> 01:26:20.399
Oh, yeah, I forgot she gets stabbed.
01:26:20.560 --> 01:26:21.600
I wasn't, I didn't really.
01:26:21.680 --> 01:26:22.479
I kind of knew that's a good idea.
01:26:22.560 --> 01:26:33.359
That was the yeah, the scene where he's explaining the gun is more Han Solo, which is what we talked about, than the you know, the interaction of him with her after she got stabbed.
01:26:33.520 --> 01:26:40.079
Although I did one thing I did appreciate that Brendan Fraser did as an actor in the stabbing scene was touching her face.
01:26:40.239 --> 01:26:40.560
Yeah.
01:26:40.800 --> 01:26:45.359
Because that is something like when I saw that, I'm like, that's exactly what I would do in that situation.
01:26:45.520 --> 01:27:04.960
Like I'd be touched like when and I feel like actors want to be like, you know, because the camera's behind him, and the camera's very clearly the shot is of her face being dead, and he's like, and the actor's probably thinking, like, I don't want to get my hand in front of the between the camera and her, you know, face, but but it actually was like, that's exactly what any reasonable person would do.
01:27:05.119 --> 01:27:12.640
Yeah, Steven Summers great director that we don't know his other pro works of yeah, for sure.
01:27:12.960 --> 01:27:13.520
Offhand.
01:27:13.680 --> 01:27:16.479
I think he did uh no, he did another movie, yeah.
01:27:16.800 --> 01:27:17.760
Definitely did that one movie.
01:27:17.920 --> 01:27:18.399
That one movie.
01:27:18.560 --> 01:27:27.279
Zach, you were gonna say something else about uh um I think that with that relationship too, it's very interesting to watch it because it once Alex gets kidnapped.
01:27:27.359 --> 01:27:29.199
I think it's a totally different group.
01:27:29.439 --> 01:27:36.640
The tone switches, huge tone, but also I don't think uh I really looked at them as parents until they lost their children, their child.
01:27:36.960 --> 01:27:39.520
Alex is like, he could have been just like an orphan kid, yeah.
01:27:41.680 --> 01:27:42.560
Yeah, like our ward.
01:27:42.800 --> 01:27:45.119
It's very funny you mentioned that because Or like an assistant.
01:27:45.199 --> 01:27:46.560
Yeah, cage boy.
01:27:46.880 --> 01:27:54.159
Rick is like, um, see he says to Izzy, They have my son, and I will do whatever it takes to get him back.
01:27:54.399 --> 01:27:59.760
It's like, but you wouldn't do whatever it takes to make sure they didn't take him in the first place.
01:28:00.079 --> 01:28:02.319
It's kind of a good justification for being a helicopter parent.
01:28:02.800 --> 01:28:04.319
Yes, yes, yes, it is.
01:28:04.560 --> 01:28:07.680
But they did you know, the thirties parents, they were they were just different.
01:28:07.760 --> 01:28:08.399
It was a different time.
01:28:08.560 --> 01:28:08.640
Yes.
01:28:09.119 --> 01:28:09.920
It was 1930s.
01:28:10.159 --> 01:28:11.920
You know, there was no World War II yet.
01:28:12.000 --> 01:28:14.000
There's Nazis barely existed yet.
01:28:14.399 --> 01:28:18.239
They were there, but it was like it was the we had signed the Treaty of Versailles.
01:28:18.319 --> 01:28:18.960
Everyone was at peace.
01:28:19.199 --> 01:28:19.920
Everyone is fine.
01:28:20.000 --> 01:28:20.800
Everything was fine.
01:28:20.960 --> 01:28:22.079
There's just mummies.
01:28:22.399 --> 01:28:24.560
All right, let's move on to ratings and meetings.
01:28:24.640 --> 01:28:30.159
Uh, we're gonna do our new tradition where Zach reads his letterbox review for the mummy returns.
01:28:30.479 --> 01:28:37.760
Yeah, so before we do that, I do I will put my letterbox review, but I did feel I'd feel bad for having you guys watch this.
01:28:37.840 --> 01:28:41.520
I'm you guys went through pirates and I heard those.
01:28:42.399 --> 01:28:43.199
I don't heard that trauma.
01:28:44.560 --> 01:28:47.840
I don't want you guys to relive, like, have to like put you through these things.
01:28:48.000 --> 01:28:50.720
This was more fun to watch than any of the pirates' sequels.
01:28:50.960 --> 01:28:51.680
Okay, that's fair.
01:28:51.760 --> 01:28:52.239
That's fair.
01:28:52.399 --> 01:28:57.600
I did write simpl I wrote I am ending we're we're in contract negotiations.
01:28:59.840 --> 01:29:03.439
I I did write cards for you guys because I felt bad.
01:29:04.000 --> 01:29:05.359
So there you go, Luke.
01:29:05.600 --> 01:29:06.720
And then there you go, Mike.
01:29:06.960 --> 01:29:07.439
Is it true, Joe?
01:29:09.039 --> 01:29:10.640
I'm sorry, I got a little messy there.
01:29:10.800 --> 01:29:11.359
Thank you, Zach.
01:29:11.439 --> 01:29:15.199
This is so these are these are apology, these are consoling cards.
01:29:15.439 --> 01:29:17.439
Yours, yours is a little different than Mike's.
01:29:17.680 --> 01:29:19.039
Winston's on my well, not really.
01:29:19.279 --> 01:29:20.239
No, not really.
01:29:20.560 --> 01:29:22.960
This says, My deepest sympathy.
01:29:24.880 --> 01:29:26.399
Anakin said it best.
01:29:26.560 --> 01:29:29.439
I don't like I don't like the mummy returns.
01:29:29.680 --> 01:29:30.800
Sand is crossed off.
01:29:30.960 --> 01:29:34.560
It's coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere.
01:29:34.880 --> 01:29:44.239
Thinking of you, Luke, after you had to watch such a really bad movie, the death of such a majestic falcon like Horace is not easy.
01:29:44.399 --> 01:29:47.439
Also, mummy pygmy pygmies question mark.
01:29:47.600 --> 01:29:48.079
Blah.
01:29:48.960 --> 01:29:52.800
I hope the third movie will be better, but it won't be Zach.
01:29:53.279 --> 01:29:55.279
That's that is true sweetness.
01:29:56.479 --> 01:30:00.560
Mine is a is a dog, and it says, feeling a little rough.
01:30:03.039 --> 01:30:06.880
And it says, Mike, hope you feel better soon.
01:30:07.119 --> 01:30:10.960
The curse of the mummy returns can really be hard to get through.
01:30:11.279 --> 01:30:21.680
Symptoms are chronic drowsiness, wrist tattoos that you didn't have in the first movie, and your bottom half being scorpionized.
01:30:22.079 --> 01:30:24.720
Hope you get through it okay, Zach.
01:30:25.039 --> 01:30:26.079
Oh, that is beautiful.
01:30:26.159 --> 01:30:26.960
Zach Haldank.
01:30:27.359 --> 01:30:29.520
Just wanted to show my appreciation for sticking it through.
01:30:29.920 --> 01:30:32.239
If you're watching on YouTube or Apple Podcasts, those are great.
01:30:32.319 --> 01:30:34.399
We'll uh we'll post these on our Patreon.
01:30:34.560 --> 01:30:35.439
Thank you, Zach.
01:30:35.680 --> 01:30:38.079
Okay, so I will read my review.
01:30:38.239 --> 01:30:44.239
I did want to bring up that I felt that I feel, and we'll always feel that the first mummy slaps.
01:30:44.560 --> 01:30:46.079
So I do need to bring that up.
01:30:46.319 --> 01:30:48.399
The mummy re That's a slap.
01:30:48.640 --> 01:30:49.600
That's the slap of it.
01:30:49.760 --> 01:30:51.840
The Mummy Returns does not slap.
01:30:52.880 --> 01:30:53.520
Clear.
01:30:53.760 --> 01:30:56.079
A film haunted by its own petard.
01:30:56.319 --> 01:30:56.640
Yes.
01:30:56.880 --> 01:31:05.840
Returns copies of the original 1999 work, but overconvolutes the adventure by devolving the genre into a family film with too many antagonists.
01:31:06.079 --> 01:31:14.880
Still, the arc of Immotep is fully drawn, and we didn't talk about this too much as he finally understands that love is not always true and pure.
01:31:15.520 --> 01:31:17.039
Rest in peace, sir.
01:31:17.359 --> 01:31:20.560
She was not as into you as maybe you had thought.
01:31:23.439 --> 01:31:24.239
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:31:25.520 --> 01:31:26.479
Resurrected girl.
01:31:26.640 --> 01:31:33.199
She leaves you to just be mainly because she doesn't want to get at uh hit by boulders that are crumbling.
01:31:33.439 --> 01:31:36.159
It was a big that was a big gap in their relationship.
01:31:36.479 --> 01:31:39.119
You know, the the skin, the moisture, this is so much.
01:31:39.359 --> 01:31:42.880
It was the boulders falling that she chose not to go save him.
01:31:43.119 --> 01:31:44.560
This is really where, you know.
01:31:45.199 --> 01:31:46.720
Shout out to Juliet.
01:31:47.199 --> 01:31:51.520
I mean, she she she loved Romeo.
01:31:51.840 --> 01:31:52.159
Yes.
01:31:52.399 --> 01:31:52.880
Oh, okay.
01:31:52.960 --> 01:31:54.159
I was like, who's Julia?
01:31:55.439 --> 01:31:56.239
The famous love story.
01:31:56.479 --> 01:31:58.079
You can copy that you can cut that.
01:31:58.720 --> 01:31:59.760
No, no, no, no.
01:31:59.840 --> 01:32:00.319
You're right.
01:32:00.479 --> 01:32:03.039
They to truly die together is something romantic and awesome.
01:32:03.680 --> 01:32:04.479
But she chose not to.
01:32:04.560 --> 01:32:04.800
Yeah.
01:32:04.960 --> 01:32:07.039
But the this is not truly her.
01:32:07.359 --> 01:32:08.079
This is true.
01:32:08.239 --> 01:32:08.640
Are you sure?
01:32:08.880 --> 01:32:11.119
Well, it is because they resurrected her soul.
01:32:11.359 --> 01:32:11.840
Her soul is.
01:32:12.079 --> 01:32:12.960
Yeah, but you remember okay.
01:32:13.039 --> 01:32:13.520
Well, hold on.
01:32:13.600 --> 01:32:25.119
Because remember, there was a there was a time in the in the pyramid where Imotep and her were like next to each other, and then like water came up and like covered her, like kind of symbolizing moisturizing her skin.
01:32:25.359 --> 01:32:26.000
Yep.
01:32:26.640 --> 01:32:28.560
This movie is about get fighting moisture.
01:32:29.039 --> 01:32:29.840
Fighting moisture.
01:32:29.920 --> 01:32:32.319
And he eventually could the moisture couldn't hold.
01:32:32.399 --> 01:32:33.279
And he he he left.
01:32:33.680 --> 01:32:34.960
Finding love in our hearts and finding the moisture.
01:32:35.199 --> 01:32:45.279
You know, I feel bad for Emotep, but I there's your one word box review is moisture.
01:32:45.520 --> 01:32:46.319
No, it wasn't.
01:32:46.399 --> 01:32:47.279
It was subtitles.
01:32:47.439 --> 01:32:48.319
Oh shit.
01:32:49.119 --> 01:32:52.880
Check us out in Letterboxd, Zach Hall, Mike, Mike Wynn, Luke Ferris.
01:32:53.039 --> 01:32:55.359
Uh, what does this movie mean to you, gentlemen?
01:32:55.680 --> 01:32:56.319
Mike.
01:32:58.319 --> 01:32:58.800
Nothing.
01:32:59.039 --> 01:32:59.520
Nothing.
01:32:59.840 --> 01:33:00.319
It was fun.
01:33:00.479 --> 01:33:01.600
It was fun to do this.
01:33:01.760 --> 01:33:02.239
Yes, okay.
01:33:02.399 --> 01:33:03.199
Zach, what about you?
01:33:03.439 --> 01:33:04.079
Not a lot.
01:33:04.239 --> 01:33:05.199
Not a lot at all.
01:33:05.439 --> 01:33:08.159
Um, maybe I uh nope, nothing.
01:33:08.319 --> 01:33:08.640
Got nothing.
01:33:08.960 --> 01:33:17.359
This movie means to me, I think we it it was the starting point of one of the most powerful movie stars of all time.
01:33:18.000 --> 01:33:35.119
And I also think this reminds me that sometimes a movie can just be a movie on the background, on a bar TV with subtitles or without subtitles, and you can still enjoy it.
01:33:35.439 --> 01:33:37.039
Guys, it's gonna get worse though.
01:33:37.680 --> 01:33:48.319
This somewhere on uh a TV that uh is connected to 2012 uh cable.
01:33:48.720 --> 01:33:50.800
This movie is still playing on G4.
01:33:51.039 --> 01:33:52.479
Yes, yes, yes.
01:33:52.960 --> 01:33:53.760
G4.
01:33:54.479 --> 01:33:54.880
Wow.
01:33:55.920 --> 01:33:56.560
Yep.
01:33:56.800 --> 01:33:58.800
And attack of the show is on next.
01:34:04.000 --> 01:34:08.239
All right, so we are doing the third movie next month.
01:34:08.319 --> 01:34:11.680
Uh, and then and we will be following that up with a fourth episode.
01:34:11.840 --> 01:34:13.680
Now, there are a bunch of mummy properties.
01:34:13.760 --> 01:34:20.000
We have the original mummy in the 30s, Universal property, we have the Tom Cruise one, and then we have some spin-offs, the Scorpion Kings.
01:34:20.079 --> 01:34:23.920
We talked about at the start of the show that we want to cover that maybe in one big mega episode.
01:34:24.239 --> 01:34:27.840
Um, we're gonna do some homework uh and divide and conquer this.
01:34:28.000 --> 01:34:29.840
So, listeners, we want to do this for you.
01:34:29.920 --> 01:34:37.600
We don't want you to have to watch all these movies, but we want to give you a summary kind of to be like an end note to this franchise rewatch series.
01:34:37.840 --> 01:34:40.399
Now, let's talk about who wants to take what.
01:34:40.560 --> 01:34:40.800
Okay.
01:34:41.039 --> 01:34:45.279
So we have the original mummies, like the black and white ones, the horse carloss.
01:34:45.840 --> 01:34:48.880
I there's the original, but I'll do some research.
01:34:48.960 --> 01:34:50.159
There's probably some other spin-offs.
01:34:50.239 --> 01:34:54.159
There's more, there's some hammer horror mummies as well that are not official.
01:34:54.319 --> 01:35:00.000
Um, which it's all you, which is all the probably um we have the Tom Cruise mummy.
01:35:00.079 --> 01:35:02.720
Does anybody want to uh I mean that's kind of up my alley.
01:35:02.960 --> 01:35:04.399
It does feel is there only one though?
01:35:04.560 --> 01:35:04.960
There's only one.
01:35:05.039 --> 01:35:06.640
There was that's probably right up my alley.
01:35:07.199 --> 01:35:13.920
There's only one the only one you have to do, and then um we do have five Scorpion King movies.
01:35:14.000 --> 01:35:16.640
We have the the so uh do you want to split it up?
01:35:17.039 --> 01:35:18.560
Mike, would you want to take like two?
01:35:18.800 --> 01:35:19.840
I think Zach should watch them all.
01:35:20.159 --> 01:35:21.920
I think you could take four and five.
01:35:22.239 --> 01:35:22.800
What?
01:35:23.039 --> 01:35:25.199
I think five of them?
01:35:25.680 --> 01:35:29.840
What what's uh give me an give me like so did you watch anything?
01:35:29.920 --> 01:35:33.039
Does anybody know anything about I watched all the trailers last night?
01:35:33.279 --> 01:35:33.600
Okay.
01:35:33.760 --> 01:35:37.039
So the Scorpion King, the first one, The Rock is in it, solo movie.
01:35:37.119 --> 01:35:37.279
Cool.
01:35:37.359 --> 01:35:42.880
Uh the second movie, uh uh Randy Couture, who is uh MMA fighter, is the villain.
01:35:43.119 --> 01:35:43.439
Okay.
01:35:43.600 --> 01:35:48.159
Um the third and fourth movie, uh The Scorpion King is the same uh actor.
01:35:48.319 --> 01:35:53.199
Uh the third or fourth one, one of them, um Billy Zane is one of the villains.
01:35:53.359 --> 01:35:53.840
Wait, what?
01:35:54.000 --> 01:35:55.359
Yes, Billy Zane is in it.
01:35:56.239 --> 01:35:57.760
Listen to your friend Billy Zane, he's a good guy.
01:35:57.920 --> 01:36:00.000
Yes, uh he's wearing a wig.
01:36:00.079 --> 01:36:04.800
Uh it's Arnold Vozlov or whatever his name is, but like with more hair.
01:36:05.039 --> 01:36:05.520
With more hair.
01:36:05.600 --> 01:36:09.600
Uh he's not a mummy, he's just like a war, like a warlord.
01:36:09.760 --> 01:36:12.640
Oh, uh, in against Ron Pearlman, also in a wig.
01:36:12.800 --> 01:36:12.960
Okay.
01:36:13.359 --> 01:36:14.960
And then there's a couple other ones.
01:36:15.119 --> 01:36:19.680
Uh, like what's the runtime are we talking about?
01:36:19.760 --> 01:36:21.119
I I think they're all under two hours.
01:36:21.199 --> 01:36:23.279
So uh Mike, would you want to jump you know?
01:36:24.159 --> 01:36:28.079
I want to give I want to give first random refusal to Mike to watch a Scorpion King movie.
01:36:28.319 --> 01:36:30.960
I will watch a Scorpion King movie.
01:36:31.279 --> 01:36:31.600
Okay.
01:36:31.920 --> 01:36:35.680
But will you be able to report back adequately on your experience?
01:36:36.000 --> 01:36:36.479
Probably not.
01:36:36.640 --> 01:36:37.039
Probably not.
01:36:37.279 --> 01:36:38.159
I will fall on this soul.
01:36:38.479 --> 01:36:38.720
Thank you.
01:36:38.960 --> 01:36:40.720
I will tell you, I will fall on this spear.
01:36:40.880 --> 01:36:41.359
The scepter.
01:36:41.840 --> 01:36:42.479
This scepter spear.
01:36:43.119 --> 01:36:44.640
If you extended it to spear.
01:36:45.760 --> 01:36:53.279
