This week, no harm ever came from reading a book, and we test out if the same is true of watching a movie as we discuss 1999's The Mummy on the day it returns to theatres for a 25th anniversary re-release. The Mummy is written and directed by Stephen Sommers, and stars Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, John Hannah, Arnold Vosloo, Patricia Velasquez, Oded Fehr, Kevin J. O'Connor and Erick Avari. Hayley has put this one up for canon consideration, as it is once again the last Friday of the month and we just might be adding another title to the illustrious pod pantheon. It's a movie that did big business on home video, and may just do decent business at the weekend box office again 25 years later this weekend.

If you'd like to watch The Mummy before listening to our discussion, it is currently streaming on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Tubi and Starz at the time of publication. Not sure how! But it is.

Other films discussed on this episode include Defending Your Life, The Good Place, Live By Night, Veronica Guerin, The Fifth Estate, BlackBerry, Bon Cop Bad Cop, Stronger, The Exorcist: Believer, Valkyrie, Inglourious Basterds, Oblivion, Knight & Day, The Beekeeper, Suicide Squad, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Blast From The Past, Stargate, The Mummy Returns, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, Batman ('89), The Amazing Spider-Man, The Rocketeer, Mr. Deeds, Daredevil, Speed Racer and Spider-Man 2.

We'll be back next week to kick off a new month, as David Leitch's TV adaptation The Fall Guy hits the big screen. And you know what else falls? Domino...s. Yes, we're going back to the well with our man Tony Scott as we watch his 2005 thriller Domino, starring Keira Knightley, Mickey Rourke and Edgar Ramirez, which is sadly not streaming anywhere. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!
