Lizzie and Sam set off on an adventure with 90s epic, The Mummy, starring Rachel Weisz (longtime icon of the pod) and Brendan Fraser (the himbo of your dreams). We also consult The Mummy experts and friends of the pod Lauren (@lserver362) and Tishon Pugh (@tishyp_) to dive into what it means to unearth your own queerness, the importance of mythology, and to reckon with the sheer number of hot people and beetles in this film.
