This week we're joined by Cristina Giraldo to unwrap Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026). We unpack Cronin's grief-soaked reinvention, dissect the film's oppressive body horror, and debate whether its ending lands with satisfying force. In this episode's b-side, we plan our respective wakes, and conjure a new recipe for Sean's Kitchen. This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 41:18.
