In this week’s episode Cody and Zach discuss their thoughts on a couple of shows and movies that they were excited about at the beginning of the year, providing their thoughts now that said projects are out. With the release of Kenobi, Cody shares his initial impressions of the first couple of episodes and his general concerns. This leads to a discussion between the guys of how “good” Star Wars actually is. Despite modern pessimism towards the franchise, it is important to remember that it has roots in greatness.
For the main topic of this week’s episode, Cody and Zach discuss the Action-Horror hit of 1999, The Mummy. While this movie might be standard action material, it does quite a few good things within the story that make it a very easy and enjoyable watch. The world was a different place in 1999 and our standards for a blockbuster were much different, but this is one that the guys believe has stood the test of time. The modern blockbuster really could learn a lot from the success of films like the Mummy and late 90’s and early 2000’s mega hits, especially if there is going to be success in the cinema outside of massive superhero franchises.
