Spoilerpiece Theatre Episode 152: The Mummy

“Spoilerpiece Theatre” is a weekly movie podcast where I talk about new releases with fellow BOFCA critics Dave Riedel and Kris Jenson. We don’t give a shit about spoilers. We just want to talk about the movies.

In Episode 152 below, we review The Mummy, It Comes at Night, Clueless, and Heat. This week we surprise ourselves by reflecting more on string cheese than any adult probably should. Then I delve into “Crewind,” the segment formerly known as “Catching up with Crean,” to share my experience watching Clueless (at 5:14) for the first time and rewatching Michael Mann’s Heat (at 9:24) on blu-ray. After I’m done talking about the loving satire of Clueless and the awesome actors I forgot were in Heat, I cede the floor to Dave to cover It Comes at Night (at 14:35), the sophomore effort by Krisha director Trey Edward Shults. Dave explains why the film deserves a second and possibly third viewing, even though nothing really comes at night, before Kris and I explain why The Mummy (at 39:24) doesn’t deserve a single viewing due to its stupidity and failure to launch Universal’s Dark Universe franchise.
