While having a little extra time on our hands during social distancing, we decided to watch a BAD movie. This week we watched the 2017 reboot, The Mummy. And, it was pretty dang bad.Listen as we talk about what didn't work in this film, the blatant male gaze seen throughout the movie, and offer up our own alternative endings.For a movie that was supposed to set up a dark universe for a monster movie franchise, The Mummy falls short. And the scariest thing about this monster movie, is how bad it is.Intro/Outro Music: "Hotshot" by Scott HolmesFrom the Free Music ArchiveCC BY NC

On this week's episode, we recommend 4 movies YOU should watch while social distancing. Come along as we discuss why Midsommar is the perfect break up movie, how the Last Black Man in San Francisco soundtrack will make you cry, why all romance movies should be as eloquent as Portrait of a Lady on Fire, and how much we love The Farewell.  In our opinion, these 2019 movies didn't get the hype they deserved during award season. Now, you can honor them / stream them from your couch!   Intro/Outro Music: "Hotshot" by Scott HolmesFrom the Free Music ArchiveCC BY NC Snippet of "San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Flowers in Your Hair)" [feat Mike Marshall]From Emile Mosseri, Daniel Herskedal & Joe Talbot
