Description

Dylan, Dalton, and Sarah review the new non-Universal monster movie, "Lee Cronin's The Mummy," which takes the basic conceit of "What if there was a mummy?" and goes in a very different direction. We don't mind different! But does this new feature hold up as either a Mummy movie or the Exorcist movie it plainly wants to be?

PLUS: A sneak preview at the forthcoming Pod Universe crossover spectacular, WAR OF THE WORLDS!
