Summary

We dream about dead guys, and all the daddies in The Mummy [1999], with Neeraja Viswanathan. You can find Neeraja on Twitter here (https://twitter.com/bad_indian_girl), and you can find Neeraja's writing on mystery movies here (https://mysteryonscreen.com/). We made a playlist to accompany this episode! (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/34mUf87LCMlGYYInFR9BRc?si=9320c1d30fdb482e) It's comprised of songs that come to mind when we all think about this movie. You Are Good is a show in which hosts Sarah Marshall and Alex Steed attempt to understand what the hell it means to be the grown children of dads and other dad-like figures. And, as they do with all difficult subject matter, they do so by looking through a pop culture lens. You can find us on Twitter (https://twitter.com/youaregoodpod), Instagram (https://instagram.com/youaregoodpod) and Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/youaregood). You can find producer and music director Carolyn Kendrick's music here. (fanlink.to/ctuc) She's also on Twitter (https://twitter.com/carekendrick). Fresh Lesh (https://www.freshlesh.com/) produces the beats for our episodes. Abigail Swartz of Gray Day Studio (https://www.graydaystudio.com/) designed our logo!

Welcome to You Are Good, everybody. We're doing the thing. We're talking about the feelings

0:10.9

and movies. Yeah. We're using the movies as a recipe for feelings. We're like, it calls

0:16.4

for this much grief and this much exuberance and this many dad jokes. Just sprinkle it

0:22.3

on freely. Yes. And we're doing our summer stretch, which brings us to what movie right

0:28.0

now, Sarah. Oh, we're talking about the mummy, which is one of the summeriest movies ever

0:32.9

to some summer, summer, summer, you found it the drive through and down at the drive. And

0:40.9

who, who were we joined by and how did this, how did this all happen? Like what are the,

0:44.9

what are people getting involved in right now? We are joined by my friend, Neroja, who's

0:49.5

one of my dearest friends and one of the people I know who most deeply loves cinema. And

0:57.3

we talked about the mummy, which is a frequently requested movie because people really love

1:01.4

it. And we talked about the fact that it is a movie that it is very easy to love and

1:06.2

that we all individually love and that it's like very racist and like why is it possible

1:12.8

to enjoy it so much? Yeah. Yeah. We did talk about that. What stood out to you in this

1:17.6

chat about the mummy? Well, first of all, that like Neroja clearly needs to have just

1:24.6

a show about cinema and some capacity or like a chance to talk about films more often.

1:31.6

You just put a quarter in her and she's just too blessed to be stressed. She just goes

1:37.0

straight for it. She's like ready to be asked about the mummy and about the literature

1:43.2

of colonialism and about Agatha Christie and kind of tropes of 1930s movies. I mean, this

1:51.8

felt in like the best way possible. I say this is someone who like stayed in school until

1:56.8

I was 28. This feels like a wonderful like summer film class. So I hope that you people

2:04.7

enjoy it in that vein. And also in other ways, because we also talk about how horny we

are for all the characters. One of the things that like I think, especially for first time
