In the last episode before we hit our 500th show – Erik and Alec, with guest Stevie, are talking about M. Night Shyamalan’s 2021 horror/mystery Old. We have a great time and a lot of laughs picking this one apart, BUT we also give some high praise the Shyamalan and his creativity. We truly believe he one of the last writer/directors who does things his way or the highway – so be sure to give this one a listen while you’re…young.

Today we are talking about the action-packed, supernatural spectacle of The Mummy Returns (2001). Join Alec & Erik as we revisit Rick O’Connell, Evelyn, and their son Alex on a globe-trotting adventure filled with spooky ancient mummy curses, resurrected WWF star warriors, and one very angry Billy Zane looking  Imhotep.We break down what makes this sequel bigger, louder, and more chaotic than its predecessor, from the introduction of the PS2 graphics of the Scorpion King to the film’s ambitious and sometimes questionable early-2000s CGI. Whether you’re a longtime fan or watching it for the first time, this episode is your ticket back to the sands of ancient Egypt. Enjoy!
