Episode Details

Lee Cronin has dug up The Mummy for a whole new generation—and this is DEFINITELY not the mummy movie you remember! 😱

In this spoiler-lite review, Jim takes a look at Lee Cronin’s The Mummy (2026), the dark, twisted new reimagining from Blumhouse and Atomic Monster. With the director of Evil Dead Rise behind the camera, you can probably guess this isn't exactly Brendan Fraser battling Imhotep while delivering one-liners.

We’re talking:

⚰️ How this version completely reinvents Mummy mythology

😱 The seriously disturbing horror Cronin brings to the story

🎭 Strong performances and surprisingly deep worldbuilding

🩸 Some spectacular—and VERY nasty—effects

🏺 How it compares to previous Mummy movies

🤔 Why Jim thinks this is good horror… but a bad Mummy movie

😬 And an ending that requires a LOT of suspension of disbelief

Jim has loved the classic Universal Monsters for decades, enjoyed the Brendan Fraser Mummy trilogy, survived the attempted Dark Universe reboot, and appreciated Cronin's Evil Dead Rise. So where does this bizarre new interpretation fit?

Is Lee Cronin’s The Mummy a bold reinvention—or did it stray too far from what makes The Mummy… The Mummy?
