Summary

"You guys are like mummy magnets!" - An actual quote from The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. It could easily be about US though, because we're dusting off an old topic to tell more mummy tales! From the 1932 film with Boris Karloff to the 2017 film with Tom Cruise. Real-life discoveries, the RECIPE for making a mummy of your own!* We're talking Brendan Fraser's trilogy, too. Prepare to be shocked by our opinions on these films. It's a Mummy Monstravaganza! Wrap yourself in toilet paper and have a blast with us! *GTTU does NOT condone mummy-making For full sources and links, visit http://www.talkbomb.com/news/gttu131 Get access to monthly bonus podcasts and tons of other content by supporting us through http://www.patreon.com/gttupod!
