Lee Cronin's The Mummy

Terrible fucking movie.

Other Mummy, killing it.

Terrible fucking movie.

And this movie that feels original, feels unique.

So, and apparently, like it was a good working relationship because is, was announced shortly after this film came out, he's gonna be working with Atomic Monster again on Sleepover, which gets, I think in Octo- I think it's getting the, we said this when we first recorded, it's gonna be like the October 2027 Blumhouse release.

So it's gonna get the other Mummy slot, which, you know, feelings about that really terrible movie aside, like maybe the worst thing I've seen in theaters all year aside from Scream VII, feelings about that aside, it did really well.

People saw it.

You know, I think we talked about this, right? Like you- we talked a little bit about what you would say to Jason Blum if you were ever to interview him at Blumfest.

You know, some of the more hyped up and more crazy over-the-top stuff that we've seen lately.

Again, I'm thinking of, you know, Evil Dead Bird, The Mummy, you know, stuff like that, where you really are going hard into the R, poor, cringe, wits, look away kind of factor, like playing on the audience's... you know, kind of fears and not, you know, and kind of, you know, the grossness of it all, just kind of like the, the, the extremeness of it, where this was just kind of playing with, you know, people's kind of like fear of general fear of just the spiders.

And, you know, the, the, the trailer summed it up perfectly.

If you've seen the trailer, uh, There's a woman sleeping and she's kind of like snoring, sleeping with her mouth open.

Yeah.

And then we have James Wan and his Atomic Monster with The Conjuring universe, Leigh Whannell's The Mummy, Malignant, Lights Out, M3GAN one and two, and his resume keeps going on and on.

So out of those four, what are the thoughts? Like, who do y- who do you personally consider the powerhouse? I'm going with Blumhouse because of the titles and the franchises that are attached to them.

A24 is close though, I will say that.

Definitely.

All right, I got a- another one.

Lee Cronin's The Mummy, another underrated one, and it's better than what people give it credit for.

And IMDb hit it.

Obsession they were on.

Lee Cronin's The Mummy they were on probably before they got on Obsession.

They kinda acquired that, right?

Hmm.

Get Out was great, even though that's not an original pro- property.

Or that is an original property, I should say.

But they're gonna have misses, like with The Mummy this year.

Lee Cronin's The Mummy, that was just not a great adaptation.

... it'll come back somehow, some way, but for now, it's like take a break.

You know, you know what movie no one's ever gonna say? The Mummy.

True.

Uh, Jack Reacher was fun.

Oh, yeah, I really liked Buddy.

It was good, for sure.

Lee Cronin's The Mummy was not as bad as people gave it credit for, too.

A lot of people-

but we didn't have the ju- we didn't pay for the D-Box.

Um, 'cause we, we went to see The Mummy in D-Box and I got like a headache 'cause it kept, the chair kept [laughs] shaking my head.

I'm like, "This is too much."

Oh, wow.

So we-

Lee Cronin's The Mummy?

Yeah.

Yeah.

This is from 2026.

And then Faces of Death and Lee Cronin's The Mummy are two rewatches that I did for this year as well.

But before I, you know, jump away and start getting into those mini reviews, let me do my monthly review.

And let's do the monthly review here for September.

Kind of a good touch there.

So for me, both watches here have now solidified itself as a seven out of ten.

Then my last mini review here for this week is going to be Lee Cronin's The Mummy.

So he also wrote and directed this.

I've always felt that way when it comes to the horror, like when it, when it comes to horror movies that aren't scary, I always felt that they should be separated.

Same with like, like psychological horror, for example, and normal horror, like, psychological horror surprise I don't get why this one for example wouldn't be as well like for example you could even call you know Halloween movies it could be that could be literally its own genre I don't know Halloween something right so I do agree with what you're saying there's a lot of movies like for example the movie that you didn't really like but I really really liked it based on just the emotional feel that I had for it was the mummy of Jason Lee I don't know if I

was Lee Cronin's the mummy from earlier this year in 2026

Where did I get Jason Lee from? Apologies, but Lee Cronin's The Mummy, right? Who's

Jason Lee? Let me Google this.

That sounds like a real person.

At least I got Lee right.

Oh, his theme, my name is Earl Guy.
