Movie Show Theater: The Podcast

We are a couple of Illinois natives, lifelong friends, and lovers of all movies! We are thoroughly fascinated by the inner workings of movies, and we seem to gain some kind of insight out of every movie we watch(good or bad). We started five years ago in Peoria, Illinois, huddled around one microphone in my dining room, and now we live in Chicago and geek out about movies a few times a month. Check us out or get a hold of us to join us in the studio to talk shop with us on the air!

It's also responsible for injecting the 'Who's the killer' trope back into horror as well as using humor to breathe humanity into the story's characters. Also it's BRUTAL even by today's standards. Also Scream 1-4 are all...

#85- The Mummy (1999)

After recently watching a 25th anniversary theatrical screening of The Mummy (a movie I already loved), I haven't been able to shut up about it (just ask my wife). I think it's time we had a little talk about what made this movie work so well in 1999 and why it not only holds up 25 years later, but is actually a better constructed story than most modern movies releasing in 2024!
