Ross is away today but we’re joined by Jay Jay and Patty from the University of the Philippines to discuss The Mummy (1999), a remake of the classic Universal monster movie which has become a classic in its own right. Regular listeners know how much we love Brendan Fraser and also that we don’t know anything about Ancient Egypt, so Patty and Jay Jay help us navigate the history of papyrus, pigments, and petitions to drink coffin juice.
