This week we’re joined by Em, host of Verbal Diorama, to discuss quite possibly the perfect movie: the 90s adventure, horror fun-time classic, The Mummy. Em explains how the film came to be (thank-you Babe: Pig in the City) whilst Kim and Alice find out that love makes you do some crazy things, like unhinge your jaw and cover Egyptians in boils.
For more fascinating film history, you can find Em at:

[00:00:10] Hello and welcome to Fetch the Smelling Salts, I'm Alice
[00:00:13] And I'm Kim and this is our podcast all about historical dramas from movies and TV shows to miniseries from every era and all around the world
[00:00:22] Woo! Because it's October which means we're in Spookstorical Double Feature Month once again
[00:00:32] For our first installment we bring you the 1999 film that awakened an ancient curse
[00:00:38] and all of the world's bisexuals, Brandon Fraser's The Mummy
[00:00:43] Woohoo! And today we're joined by Em, the host of the podcast Verbal Diorama
[00:00:49] where she gives you the history and legacy of all the movies, movies you know, movies you don't
[00:00:56] movies you know but for some reason you never want to watch
[00:00:59] Welcome Em!
[00:01:01] Hello!
[00:01:02] Thank you! It's like I didn't even tell you to say all that
[00:01:06] and you've just basically said like my tagline and everything, it's great
[00:01:10] This is the full experience of being a guest on someone's podcast
[00:01:14] It's like they know me, it's awesome
[00:01:16] Hello! How are you both?
[00:01:18] Yeah, we're great and you know what, we know you really well
[00:01:22] you know, we've listened to your podcast
[00:01:23] so we know that you're like a medium fan of The Mummy
[00:01:28] You're like a 6 out of 10
[00:01:30] Yeah, yeah, just a wee bit
[00:01:32] Yeah, I mean it's okay I guess
[00:01:34] I mean you really had to force me to come on
[00:01:37] You were like, do you want to do The Mummy?
[00:01:39] And I was like, oh my god, do I have to?
[00:01:41] Like, okay I guess
[00:01:44] I mean, yeah
[00:01:45] So you did The Mummy, your episode on your podcast Verbal Diorama
[00:01:49] You did an episode on The Mummy in 2019
[00:01:51] which was also the 20th anniversary year of The Mummy
[00:01:55] and since then you've been on at least, no less than, six podcasts as a guest
[00:02:04] talking about The Mummy
[00:02:05] which is now already in its 25th anniversary year
[00:02:10] It's actually more podcasts than that
[00:02:12] I was gonna say
[00:02:13] So we shout out to Pocket Casts
[00:02:16] which you introduced me to
[00:02:18] I found it really easy if I just typed in like Verbal Diorama The Mummy
[00:02:22] that it, like more than other, you know, podcast apps that I've used
[00:02:26] it's really good at giving me a list
[00:02:28] of the ones that you've been on talking about The Mummy
[00:02:30] Yeah, no, honestly, it's a great app
[00:02:33] I absolutely love it
[00:02:34] I genuinely think
[00:02:35] I don't even work for them or anything
[00:02:36] and I genuinely think it is the best podcast app
[00:02:39] because you can do stuff like that
[00:02:40] but no, it's actually
[00:02:42] I think this might be the 15th
[00:02:45] Are you kidding?
[00:02:46] Wow
[00:02:47] Like, no
[00:02:48] We really thought we were onto something
[00:02:51] We were sitting there so proud of ourselves
[00:02:52] like, I know, let's get Emma to talk about The Mummy
[00:02:56] because she likes it
[00:02:59] Sure, throw it on the pile
[00:03:01] Yeah, I get around
[00:03:04] Were they all movie podcasts?
[00:03:06] Yes
[00:03:07] Amazing
[00:03:08] So I'm hoping today that we'll be able to tell you
[00:03:12] something that you didn't know
[00:03:15] maybe not about The Mummy the movie
[00:03:17] but maybe about some history connected to The Mummy the movie
[00:03:22] Oh, absolutely
[00:03:23] No, I absolutely believe that you will
[00:03:25] That's my goal
[00:03:26] I do listen to your podcast as well
[00:03:28] and I find it completely fascinating
[00:03:30] because I love period dramas anyway
[00:03:32] I am such a huge fan
[00:03:34] and I know we've spoken quite a lot on Instagram
[00:03:36] about things like Pride and Prejudice
[00:03:39] and how much I love Pride and Prejudice
[00:03:42] Which one?
[00:03:43] The 1995 BBC serial, of course
[00:03:46] Of course
[00:03:47] Yeah, it is the superior one
[00:03:49] It is
[00:03:50] Honestly, I've seen that so many times
[00:03:53] Me too!
[00:03:54] Oh, it's like my go-to movie
[00:03:56] when I'm just feeling sick
[00:03:57] Yeah, it's like comfort watch
[00:04:01] Oh, I love it so much
[00:04:03] and I love the fact
[00:04:04] because it's a series
[00:04:05] and it's like six episodes
[00:04:06] they've got plenty of time
[00:04:08] to like build up this world
[00:04:10] and the characters
[00:04:11] Right? Yes
[00:04:11] Yeah, it's great
[00:04:13] Yeah, Colin Firth
[00:04:14] I know they say about the lake scene
[00:04:17] and it is good
[00:04:17] but I just think his Darcy
[00:04:19] is just the best Darcy
[00:04:21] It's the best
[00:04:22] It is the best
[00:04:23] He's so good
[00:04:23] And, you know
[00:04:24] it's like Jennifer Ailey
[00:04:25] as Elizabeth Bennet
[00:04:26] Like she is
[00:04:28] She is the Elizabeth Bennet
[00:04:30] that I compare all Elizabeth Bennets to
[00:04:32] Yes
[00:04:33] And they don't measure up
[00:04:34] All due respect to everyone else
[00:04:36] who's ever played Elizabeth Bennet
[00:04:38] on screen, on stage
[00:04:39] in your living room, whatever
[00:04:41] but you've been reaching for Jennifer Ailey
[00:04:43] and just not quite making it
[00:04:44] No
[00:04:45] But, you know, land amongst the stars
[00:04:46] I know
[00:04:47] And also she looks amazing
[00:04:49] She's so busty
[00:04:50] and so gorgeous
[00:04:51] and, you know
[00:04:52] she's just great
[00:04:53] So I recently learned
[00:04:55] about this phenomenon
[00:04:57] in Regency dress
[00:04:59] where the corsets create
[00:05:00] if you're doing like
[00:05:02] cosplay kind of Regency dress
[00:05:04] what you want to do
[00:05:06] is get yourself
[00:05:07] a corset for your dress
[00:05:09] that will create
[00:05:10] a boob shelf
[00:05:11] That's how you know
[00:05:12] that you're in the period
[00:05:13] and you're in that dress
[00:05:16] Yes, historically, accurately, boobily
[00:05:18] Yeah
[00:05:19] I want to be historically, accurately, boobily
[00:05:22] Yep
[00:05:23] I want a boob shelf so bad
[00:05:25] Like we
[00:05:25] made a little promise
[00:05:27] to ourselves
[00:05:28] that one of these days
[00:05:29] we're going to make it
[00:05:30] to the Jane Austen Festival
[00:05:31] Yes
[00:05:31] In Bath
[00:05:32] all the boob shelves
[00:05:33] Oh my god
[00:05:33] That sounds amazing
[00:05:34] Shelves upon shelves upon shelves
[00:05:35] I want like three boob shelves
[00:05:37] Mm-hmm
[00:05:38] You recently did an episode
[00:05:40] on
[00:05:41] so the latest of your episodes
[00:05:42] that I have listened to
[00:05:43] was on
[00:05:45] one of my
[00:05:45] very favorite period dramas
[00:05:47] Prey
[00:05:48] Yes
[00:05:49] Which is a predator movie
[00:05:51] Yeah
[00:05:51] Which is set in
[00:05:53] 18th century
[00:05:54] Yeah
[00:05:54] Plains United States
[00:05:56] and it's all indigenous people
[00:05:58] and
[00:05:59] I always have wanted
[00:06:01] more indigenous stories
[00:06:02] and kind of like
[00:06:03] more out there stories
[00:06:04] that are away from
[00:06:05] the Isle of Britain
[00:06:06] Mm-hmm
[00:06:07] Because I find them
[00:06:08] so interesting and fascinating
[00:06:09] I love being immersed
[00:06:10] in that world
[00:06:11] but to find it
[00:06:12] in a predator movie
[00:06:14] was amazing
[00:06:16] and wild
[00:06:17] and
[00:06:17] it's become
[00:06:19] one of my favorites
[00:06:19] I know
[00:06:21] and it's just
[00:06:21] so amazing as well
[00:06:23] because obviously
[00:06:24] Hollywood is full of
[00:06:25] white men
[00:06:26] and we know this for a fact
[00:06:28] but when you've got
[00:06:29] a white man like
[00:06:30] Dan Trachtenberg
[00:06:31] who's like
[00:06:32] yeah okay
[00:06:33] I've got privilege
[00:06:33] I'm a white man in Hollywood
[00:06:35] he's got the privilege
[00:06:36] to get stuff done
[00:06:37] but he actually kind of
[00:06:39] thinks about it
[00:06:39] and goes
[00:06:40] well do you know what
[00:06:40] I'm going to actually
[00:06:41] speak to some Comanche people
[00:06:43] and I'm going to get
[00:06:44] some proper Comanche people
[00:06:46] in the cast and crew
[00:06:47] and you know
[00:06:48] we're going to
[00:06:49] basically do this
[00:06:49] big wide search
[00:06:51] for indigenous people
[00:06:52] from all tribes
[00:06:53] to kind of get them
[00:06:54] all involved
[00:06:54] and to get elders involved
[00:06:56] and to kind of resurrect
[00:06:58] a language
[00:06:58] that's pretty much
[00:07:00] dying
[00:07:01] you know
[00:07:01] to kind of get
[00:07:02] this Comanche dub
[00:07:03] honestly for me
[00:07:05] Prey is one of the most
[00:07:06] astonishing movies
[00:07:07] of recent years
[00:07:08] and it still pains me
[00:07:09] so much
[00:07:10] that we didn't get it
[00:07:11] at the cinema
[00:07:12] I wish
[00:07:13] I wish we'd got it
[00:07:14] at the cinema
[00:07:15] I'm glad we have it
[00:07:16] and I will always be glad
[00:07:17] for Prey
[00:07:17] I think it's just
[00:07:18] so phenomenal
[00:07:19] that there is
[00:07:20] so much space out there
[00:07:21] and there's so much
[00:07:22] opportunity out there
[00:07:23] for these
[00:07:25] you know
[00:07:25] big name directors
[00:07:26] okay Dan Trachtenberg's
[00:07:27] not really a big name
[00:07:28] but he is a name director
[00:07:29] just to kind of say
[00:07:31] well you know
[00:07:31] I could make this project
[00:07:33] about you know
[00:07:34] these white people
[00:07:34] or I could actually go
[00:07:37] but you know what
[00:07:38] let's do something
[00:07:39] a bit different
[00:07:39] you know
[00:07:40] let's
[00:07:41] representation
[00:07:41] is so important
[00:07:43] you know
[00:07:43] and I say that
[00:07:44] as a cis white woman
[00:07:45] you know
[00:07:46] representation
[00:07:47] is so important
[00:07:48] and if we can do it
[00:07:50] across the spectrum
[00:07:51] of cinema
[00:07:52] then great
[00:07:52] but especially
[00:07:53] with period drama
[00:07:54] when we're talking
[00:07:55] about like
[00:07:55] actual history
[00:07:57] even if it might be
[00:07:58] slightly
[00:07:58] you know
[00:07:59] not completely factual
[00:08:00] because sometimes
[00:08:01] they're not
[00:08:01] but
[00:08:02] it's just so important
[00:08:04] to tell those stories
[00:08:05] and I think that's why
[00:08:06] I love your podcast
[00:08:07] so much
[00:08:08] is because you actually
[00:08:09] take the time
[00:08:09] to find those stories
[00:08:10] and talk about those stories
[00:08:11] because those are the stories
[00:08:13] that we actually
[00:08:14] need to know about
[00:08:15] Pride and Prejudice
[00:08:16] is great
[00:08:16] and I love it
[00:08:17] but you know
[00:08:19] it's basically
[00:08:20] just full of white people
[00:08:21] talking about
[00:08:22] you know
[00:08:23] lots of British history
[00:08:23] that we know about
[00:08:24] so let's find
[00:08:26] some period dramas
[00:08:27] talking about history
[00:08:28] that we don't know about
[00:08:29] and that's what
[00:08:30] you know
[00:08:30] that's what you do
[00:08:31] so well
[00:08:32] oh thank you
[00:08:33] I mean to be fair
[00:08:34] we do love Jane Austen
[00:08:35] we do love a bunch
[00:08:36] of white people
[00:08:36] just visiting each other's houses
[00:08:38] and then eventually
[00:08:39] kissing
[00:08:41] but
[00:08:42] it's like
[00:08:43] oh my god
[00:08:43] they're showing
[00:08:44] all kinds of ankle
[00:08:45] in this period drama
[00:08:46] it's scandalous
[00:08:47] but honestly
[00:08:48] if you can make
[00:08:49] a predator
[00:08:50] period drama
[00:08:51] you've got no excuse
[00:08:52] exactly
[00:08:52] just to all
[00:08:53] filmmakers everywhere
[00:08:54] so keep
[00:08:55] making stories
[00:08:57] in which
[00:08:58] people visit
[00:08:59] each other's houses
[00:08:59] and kiss
[00:09:00] maybe stop making them
[00:09:01] just about white people
[00:09:02] which I think
[00:09:03] Bridgerton
[00:09:03] has already
[00:09:05] opened the door
[00:09:05] for
[00:09:06] Bridgerton
[00:09:06] has stepped through
[00:09:07] the door
[00:09:08] that Brandy's
[00:09:09] Cinderella
[00:09:10] opened for them
[00:09:11] and then
[00:09:12] keep giving us
[00:09:14] what we want
[00:09:14] I think
[00:09:15] period dramas
[00:09:16] are in
[00:09:16] like a beautiful
[00:09:17] era right now
[00:09:18] and we're loving it
[00:09:19] but
[00:09:20] can we bring it back
[00:09:22] yeah
[00:09:22] now
[00:09:22] to a different
[00:09:23] era of cinema
[00:09:24] because 1999
[00:09:25] I think was a very
[00:09:27] different era
[00:09:28] of cinema
[00:09:28] and I'm so glad
[00:09:30] for it
[00:09:30] because
[00:09:31] it gave us
[00:09:33] what I hadn't
[00:09:34] really considered
[00:09:35] a period drama
[00:09:36] until I kind of
[00:09:37] looked at it
[00:09:38] through our lens
[00:09:39] because of course
[00:09:41] it is a romp
[00:09:42] it is
[00:09:43] it's not sci-fi
[00:09:44] it's an action romp
[00:09:45] but there's
[00:09:46] real history
[00:09:47] to be had there
[00:09:48] and there's
[00:09:49] so many interesting
[00:09:50] things around
[00:09:51] this movie
[00:09:51] that we're so
[00:09:53] excited to talk
[00:09:54] about
[00:09:54] are you excited
[00:09:54] to talk about
[00:09:55] it too
[00:09:56] yeah
[00:09:57] yeah
[00:09:58] should we start
[00:09:59] that
[00:10:00] summary
[00:10:01] all right
[00:10:01] so
[00:10:02] we are in
[00:10:03] ancient Egypt
[00:10:04] specifically in
[00:10:06] Thebes
[00:10:06] in about
[00:10:07] 1290
[00:10:08] BC
[00:10:08] where we are
[00:10:09] introduced to
[00:10:10] Imhotep
[00:10:11] the high priest
[00:10:11] of Pharaoh
[00:10:12] Seti I
[00:10:13] now
[00:10:15] Imhotep
[00:10:16] is a bad
[00:10:17] bad boy
[00:10:17] Imhotep
[00:10:18] is a bad
[00:10:19] bad boy
[00:10:20] because he's
[00:10:21] having an affair
[00:10:22] with the Pharaoh's
[00:10:23] super hot mistress
[00:10:24] oh my gosh
[00:10:26] oh my god
[00:10:28] awakenings
[00:10:30] she's so
[00:10:30] freaking hot
[00:10:31] it's ridiculous
[00:10:31] because is what
[00:10:32] she's wearing
[00:10:33] actually
[00:10:33] it's not
[00:10:34] transparent
[00:10:35] no
[00:10:36] it's like
[00:10:36] holes in it
[00:10:37] right
[00:10:37] basically
[00:10:38] yeah
[00:10:38] but it's just
[00:10:39] an
[00:10:39] yeah
[00:10:40] I mean
[00:10:40] her body
[00:10:41] is freaking
[00:10:41] ridiculous
[00:10:42] right
[00:10:42] so
[00:10:42] her name
[00:10:43] is
[00:10:43] Angsunamun
[00:10:44] one fateful
[00:10:45] day
[00:10:46] Pharaoh
[00:10:46] catches them
[00:10:47] together
[00:10:47] and
[00:10:48] they slay him
[00:10:49] as the palace
[00:10:50] guards come in
[00:10:51] Imhotep manages
[00:10:52] to escape
[00:10:53] but
[00:10:53] Angsunamun
[00:10:54] kills herself
[00:10:55] believing that
[00:10:56] her lover
[00:10:56] will find a
[00:10:57] way to
[00:10:57] resurrect her
[00:10:58] true enough
[00:10:59] Imhotep
[00:10:59] and his priest
[00:11:00] steal
[00:11:01] her corpse
[00:11:02] and they take
[00:11:03] it to
[00:11:03] Hamunaptra
[00:11:04] the city
[00:11:05] of the dead
[00:11:05] where he tries
[00:11:06] to resurrect
[00:11:06] her using
[00:11:07] the book
[00:11:07] of the dead
[00:11:08] however
[00:11:09] Imhotep is
[00:11:09] smack in the
[00:11:10] middle of this
[00:11:11] resurrection ritual
[00:11:12] when he's
[00:11:13] interrupted by
[00:11:13] the pharaoh's
[00:11:14] bodyguards
[00:11:15] the magi
[00:11:15] as punishment
[00:11:17] Imhotep's
[00:11:18] priests are
[00:11:19] mummified alive
[00:11:20] superheroes
[00:11:21] while Imhotep
[00:11:23] himself is
[00:11:24] condemned
[00:11:24] to their
[00:11:25] home die
[00:11:25] so it's
[00:11:26] this curse
[00:11:26] so his
[00:11:27] tongue is
[00:11:27] cut
[00:11:28] he's
[00:11:28] buried alive
[00:11:29] with flesh
[00:11:30] eating
[00:11:30] scarabs
[00:11:31] and most
[00:11:31] importantly
[00:11:32] there is a
[00:11:33] curse that says
[00:11:34] if he's
[00:11:35] ever released
[00:11:36] he would
[00:11:36] literally bring
[00:11:37] death and
[00:11:37] destruction
[00:11:38] onto the
[00:11:38] world
[00:11:39] while being
[00:11:39] invulnerable
[00:11:40] himself
[00:11:41] so I made
[00:11:42] a note here
[00:11:42] you know
[00:11:43] my note is
[00:11:43] see that's
[00:11:44] the thing
[00:11:44] I don't
[00:11:45] get
[00:11:45] the curse
[00:11:46] is what
[00:11:47] gives him
[00:11:48] power
[00:11:48] right
[00:11:49] why not
[00:11:50] curse him
[00:11:51] to become
[00:11:51] a dung beetle
[00:11:52] or have
[00:11:54] something where
[00:11:54] the curse
[00:11:55] is upon
[00:11:56] the people
[00:11:57] who release
[00:11:58] him
[00:11:58] and have
[00:11:59] them die
[00:12:00] a horrible
[00:12:00] death
[00:12:00] so I'm
[00:12:01] not an
[00:12:01] Egyptian
[00:12:02] wizard
[00:12:02] but in
[00:12:03] defense of
[00:12:04] the curse
[00:12:05] I think
[00:12:05] it's about
[00:12:06] give and
[00:12:06] take
[00:12:06] what you
[00:12:07] really
[00:12:09] want
[00:12:09] is for
[00:12:10] him
[00:12:10] to be
[00:12:11] eaten
[00:12:12] semi-alive
[00:12:13] by beetles
[00:12:14] forever
[00:12:15] and ever
[00:12:15] with no
[00:12:16] tongue
[00:12:17] then the
[00:12:18] flip side
[00:12:19] of that
[00:12:19] is
[00:12:20] you've got
[00:12:20] to risk
[00:12:21] him being
[00:12:21] resurrected
[00:12:22] and turned
[00:12:22] into this
[00:12:23] monster
[00:12:23] and bringing
[00:12:24] all the
[00:12:24] plagues
[00:12:25] so that's
[00:12:26] that's my
[00:12:26] limited
[00:12:27] understanding
[00:12:28] of curses
[00:12:29] and magic
[00:12:30] is you've
[00:12:30] got to
[00:12:30] take the
[00:12:31] bad with
[00:12:31] the good
[00:12:31] I mean
[00:12:32] was it
[00:12:33] a bit
[00:12:34] of overkill
[00:12:35] maybe not
[00:12:36] I mean
[00:12:36] to be fair
[00:12:37] they didn't
[00:12:37] have to
[00:12:38] kill the
[00:12:38] king
[00:12:39] did they
[00:12:40] they just
[00:12:41] got caught
[00:12:41] like
[00:12:42] in the same
[00:12:44] room together
[00:12:44] and he was
[00:12:45] like hey
[00:12:45] and they were
[00:12:50] going to
[00:12:51] die horrible
[00:12:53] deaths anyway
[00:12:53] right so
[00:12:54] they figured
[00:12:55] might as well
[00:12:55] take someone
[00:12:55] with them
[00:12:56] anyway
[00:12:57] fast forward
[00:12:58] to 1923
[00:12:59] we are back
[00:13:00] in Hamunatra
[00:13:01] where Rick
[00:13:01] O'Connell
[00:13:02] our Brendan
[00:13:03] Fraser
[00:13:03] is fighting
[00:13:04] with the
[00:13:04] French Foreign
[00:13:05] Legion
[00:13:05] so again
[00:13:06] I still have
[00:13:06] no idea
[00:13:07] what the
[00:13:07] whole battle
[00:13:08] is about
[00:13:08] someone can
[00:13:09] enlighten me
[00:13:10] you know
[00:13:10] anyway
[00:13:11] just as he's
[00:13:11] about to get
[00:13:12] shot by the
[00:13:12] opposing faction
[00:13:13] they all
[00:13:14] suddenly flee
[00:13:14] because he's
[00:13:15] standing in
[00:13:16] some forbidden
[00:13:17] cursed place
[00:13:17] the sand
[00:13:18] around him
[00:13:19] you know
[00:13:19] forms a face
[00:13:20] and we hear
[00:13:21] someone whispering
[00:13:22] you will die
[00:13:23] so he runs
[00:13:24] away into the
[00:13:25] desert where
[00:13:26] the magi are
[00:13:26] watching from
[00:13:27] a distant
[00:13:27] spoiler
[00:13:28] he does not
[00:13:29] die
[00:13:29] so now
[00:13:30] three years
[00:13:30] later in
[00:13:31] Cairo
[00:13:31] and you have
[00:13:32] Evelyn
[00:13:33] who is working
[00:13:34] as a librarian
[00:13:35] at the
[00:13:35] museum
[00:13:36] of
[00:13:36] antiquities
[00:13:37] so as
[00:13:38] someone who
[00:13:38] was a
[00:13:39] library
[00:13:39] assistant
[00:13:39] for many
[00:13:40] many
[00:13:40] years
[00:13:40] I was
[00:13:40] like
[00:13:41] awesome
[00:13:42] yeah
[00:13:43] so she's
[00:13:43] a bit
[00:13:44] clumsy
[00:13:46] but extremely
[00:13:47] knowledgeable
[00:13:47] in Egyptology
[00:13:48] one day
[00:13:49] her free-spirited
[00:13:50] brother
[00:13:50] Jonathan
[00:13:51] presents her
[00:13:51] with a
[00:13:52] box
[00:13:52] which he
[00:13:52] supposedly
[00:13:53] found on
[00:13:54] a dig
[00:13:54] upon opening
[00:13:55] Evelyn finds
[00:13:56] it contains
[00:13:56] a map
[00:13:57] to the
[00:13:57] legendary
[00:13:58] city
[00:13:58] of
[00:13:58] Hamunapra
[00:13:59] she shows
[00:14:00] it to
[00:14:00] her boss
[00:14:00] the curator
[00:14:01] who not
[00:14:01] only claims
[00:14:02] that the
[00:14:03] whole
[00:14:03] Hamunapra
[00:14:03] legend is a
[00:14:04] bunch of
[00:14:05] hokum
[00:14:05] but also
[00:14:06] you know
[00:14:08] accidentally
[00:14:08] burns part
[00:14:09] of the
[00:14:09] map
[00:14:10] oh
[00:14:10] whoops
[00:14:11] yeah
[00:14:11] oh dear
[00:14:12] oh no
[00:14:13] nonetheless
[00:14:14] Jonathan
[00:14:14] takes Evelyn
[00:14:15] to see
[00:14:16] Rick
[00:14:16] who is now
[00:14:17] in prison
[00:14:17] in Cairo
[00:14:18] so Evelyn
[00:14:18] not only
[00:14:19] convinces
[00:14:19] Rick
[00:14:20] to take
[00:14:20] them
[00:14:20] to
[00:14:20] Hamunapra
[00:14:21] but basically
[00:14:22] bribes
[00:14:22] the prison
[00:14:23] warden
[00:14:23] into setting
[00:14:23] him free
[00:14:24] so the trio
[00:14:25] accompanied
[00:14:26] by the
[00:14:26] warden
[00:14:26] they travel
[00:14:27] by boat
[00:14:27] part of
[00:14:28] the way
[00:14:28] to
[00:14:28] Hamunapra
[00:14:29] and on
[00:14:29] the boat
[00:14:30] they meet
[00:14:30] with a
[00:14:31] bunch
[00:14:31] of
[00:14:31] American
[00:14:32] treasure
[00:14:32] hunters
[00:14:32] like very
[00:14:33] American
[00:14:34] this is so
[00:14:34] hilarious
[00:14:35] right
[00:14:35] led by
[00:14:36] this
[00:14:36] spineless
[00:14:37] guy
[00:14:37] called
[00:14:37] Benny
[00:14:38] whom
[00:14:38] had
[00:14:38] previously
[00:14:39] left
[00:14:39] Rick
[00:14:40] to die
[00:14:40] like three
[00:14:41] years ago
[00:14:41] meanwhile
[00:14:42] Evelyn is
[00:14:42] clearly both
[00:14:43] enamored by
[00:14:44] Rick
[00:14:44] who had cheekily
[00:14:45] kissed her
[00:14:45] when she met
[00:14:46] him at the
[00:14:46] prison
[00:14:46] and annoyed
[00:14:47] by him
[00:14:48] right
[00:14:48] this whole
[00:14:48] you know
[00:14:49] will they
[00:14:49] won't they
[00:14:50] blah blah
[00:14:50] blah
[00:14:50] as she's
[00:14:52] in her
[00:14:52] cabin
[00:14:53] she's
[00:14:53] attacked
[00:14:53] by the
[00:14:54] magi
[00:14:54] who want
[00:14:55] to take
[00:14:55] the map
[00:14:56] away
[00:14:56] from her
[00:14:57] huge
[00:14:57] couple
[00:14:57] ensues
[00:14:58] and the
[00:14:58] entire
[00:14:58] boat
[00:14:59] ends up
[00:14:59] being set
[00:14:59] on fire
[00:15:01] miraculously
[00:15:01] no one
[00:15:02] dies
[00:15:02] not even
[00:15:03] the horses
[00:15:03] yay
[00:15:04] yay
[00:15:05] yeah
[00:15:06] and when
[00:15:06] they all
[00:15:06] arrive on
[00:15:07] shore
[00:15:07] Rick and
[00:15:08] his crew
[00:15:08] they end
[00:15:09] up buying
[00:15:09] some camels
[00:15:10] and traveling
[00:15:10] over the
[00:15:11] desert
[00:15:11] to Hamunapra
[00:15:12] soon enough
[00:15:14] however
[00:15:14] they encounter
[00:15:15] the Americans
[00:15:15] again
[00:15:16] right
[00:15:16] and both
[00:15:17] parties
[00:15:17] like race
[00:15:18] to the
[00:15:18] side
[00:15:19] claiming that
[00:15:19] whoever gets
[00:15:20] there first
[00:15:21] will own
[00:15:21] it
[00:15:22] you know
[00:15:22] because
[00:15:22] hashtag
[00:15:23] colonialism
[00:15:24] anyway
[00:15:26] Rick and
[00:15:27] his crew
[00:15:27] get there
[00:15:28] first
[00:15:28] but both
[00:15:29] crews begin
[00:15:30] excavating
[00:15:31] and obviously
[00:15:31] the sexual
[00:15:32] tension between
[00:15:33] Evelyn and
[00:15:34] Rick
[00:15:34] needless to
[00:15:35] say
[00:15:35] shit starts
[00:15:36] to happen
[00:15:36] when the
[00:15:36] prison warden
[00:15:37] and with
[00:15:38] the prison
[00:15:38] warden
[00:15:39] and the
[00:15:39] American
[00:15:40] diggers
[00:15:40] being the
[00:15:41] first to
[00:15:41] succumb to
[00:15:41] a series
[00:15:42] of like
[00:15:42] booby traps
[00:15:43] so the
[00:15:43] warden gets
[00:15:44] eaten alive
[00:15:45] by like
[00:15:45] this
[00:15:46] flesh-eating
[00:15:47] scarab
[00:15:47] which like
[00:15:48] hatches from
[00:15:49] you know
[00:15:49] this blue
[00:15:50] gold scarab
[00:15:51] ornament
[00:15:52] that he tries
[00:15:52] to steal
[00:15:53] and the
[00:15:54] poor
[00:15:54] digging
[00:15:54] crew
[00:15:55] to get
[00:15:55] scalded
[00:15:55] by like
[00:15:56] acid
[00:15:56] which pours
[00:15:57] out of
[00:15:58] the wall
[00:15:58] right
[00:15:59] meanwhile
[00:16:00] Evelyn
[00:16:01] Rick
[00:16:01] and Jonathan
[00:16:02] come across
[00:16:03] the sarcophagus
[00:16:04] of Imhotep
[00:16:05] which just
[00:16:06] falls out
[00:16:07] from the
[00:16:07] ceiling
[00:16:08] miraculously
[00:16:09] not killing
[00:16:10] anybody
[00:16:10] you know
[00:16:11] and they're
[00:16:12] just like
[00:16:12] oh
[00:16:12] hello
[00:16:13] what is
[00:16:13] this
[00:16:14] you know
[00:16:14] anyway
[00:16:15] Evelyn
[00:16:16] realizes
[00:16:16] that the
[00:16:17] box that
[00:16:17] she has
[00:16:18] is the
[00:16:18] key
[00:16:18] to
[00:16:19] opening
[00:16:19] the
[00:16:19] sarcophagus
[00:16:20] and before
[00:16:21] long
[00:16:21] the magi
[00:16:22] arrive
[00:16:23] warning them
[00:16:23] all to
[00:16:24] just stay
[00:16:24] the hell
[00:16:24] away
[00:16:25] but obviously
[00:16:26] no one
[00:16:26] listens
[00:16:26] in fact
[00:16:28] the americans
[00:16:29] end up
[00:16:29] finding a
[00:16:30] chest
[00:16:30] with a
[00:16:31] warning
[00:16:31] literally
[00:16:31] inscribed
[00:16:32] onto it
[00:16:33] right
[00:16:34] and obviously
[00:16:35] what they
[00:16:35] do
[00:16:36] they open
[00:16:36] it
[00:16:36] inside
[00:16:37] they find
[00:16:38] the book
[00:16:39] of the dead
[00:16:39] together with
[00:16:40] some gold
[00:16:41] urns
[00:16:41] containing
[00:16:42] what I
[00:16:43] found
[00:16:44] out to be
[00:16:45] later
[00:16:45] the remains
[00:16:46] of
[00:16:46] Ang Sunamun
[00:16:47] yeah
[00:16:48] so
[00:16:48] yeah
[00:16:49] yeah
[00:16:49] because I
[00:16:49] was a bit
[00:16:50] confused at
[00:16:50] first
[00:16:50] it was like
[00:16:51] what is
[00:16:51] in there
[00:16:52] okay
[00:16:53] so
[00:16:53] Rick and
[00:16:53] his crew
[00:16:54] they use
[00:16:55] the box
[00:16:55] to open
[00:16:56] Immunep's
[00:16:57] sarcophagus
[00:16:58] where they
[00:16:59] find his
[00:16:59] corpse is
[00:17:00] still decomposing
[00:17:01] after literally
[00:17:02] thousands of
[00:17:02] years
[00:17:03] it's juicy
[00:17:04] I know
[00:17:04] it's like
[00:17:05] literally still
[00:17:05] juicy right
[00:17:06] yeah
[00:17:06] finding the
[00:17:07] skeleton of
[00:17:08] a scarab
[00:17:08] Evelyn
[00:17:09] realizes that
[00:17:10] Imhotep was
[00:17:11] given the
[00:17:11] hom-dye
[00:17:12] punishment
[00:17:12] and left
[00:17:13] to be eaten
[00:17:14] alive
[00:17:14] that night
[00:17:15] she steals
[00:17:16] the book
[00:17:16] of the dead
[00:17:16] from the
[00:17:17] Americans
[00:17:17] and uses
[00:17:18] her little
[00:17:18] box key
[00:17:19] right
[00:17:19] to open
[00:17:19] it
[00:17:20] and
[00:17:20] reads aloud
[00:17:21] from it
[00:17:22] thus
[00:17:23] awakening
[00:17:24] Immhotep
[00:17:24] who starts
[00:17:25] attacking
[00:17:26] the various
[00:17:27] Americans
[00:17:27] and somehow
[00:17:29] confuses
[00:17:29] Evelyn with
[00:17:30] Ang Sunamun
[00:17:31] so then
[00:17:32] everybody
[00:17:32] you know
[00:17:33] flees back
[00:17:33] to Cairo
[00:17:34] but Immhotep
[00:17:35] follows them
[00:17:36] having taken
[00:17:37] Benny as his
[00:17:37] personal assistant
[00:17:38] so to speak
[00:17:39] one by one
[00:17:40] he attacks
[00:17:41] the remaining
[00:17:42] Americans
[00:17:42] using their
[00:17:43] bodies and
[00:17:43] like
[00:17:43] life force
[00:17:44] to regenerate
[00:17:45] oh yeah
[00:17:46] and he brings
[00:17:46] about the
[00:17:47] 10 plagues
[00:17:47] of Egypt
[00:17:49] again
[00:17:49] my note
[00:17:50] here says
[00:17:51] bit confused
[00:17:52] wasn't that
[00:17:53] a Moses thing
[00:17:53] yeah I can
[00:17:54] clarify the
[00:17:55] the 10
[00:17:56] commandments
[00:17:56] thing but
[00:17:57] so
[00:17:58] if you think
[00:17:59] about the
[00:17:59] bible
[00:17:59] so we're
[00:18:00] in about
[00:18:01] you know
[00:18:01] if this all
[00:18:02] happened in
[00:18:03] 1290
[00:18:04] then
[00:18:04] bible times
[00:18:05] there
[00:18:06] you know
[00:18:07] Moses is in
[00:18:08] Exodus
[00:18:08] second book
[00:18:09] of the bible
[00:18:10] that's a way
[00:18:11] long time ago
[00:18:12] yeah
[00:18:13] so that'll be
[00:18:13] like several
[00:18:14] thousand years
[00:18:15] before that
[00:18:16] so if they're
[00:18:16] coming up with
[00:18:17] a curse
[00:18:17] then I don't
[00:18:19] know
[00:18:19] they have
[00:18:20] the 10
[00:18:21] plagues as
[00:18:21] reference already
[00:18:22] yeah
[00:18:23] they're like
[00:18:23] hey why the hell
[00:18:24] not right
[00:18:25] yeah remember
[00:18:26] how shitty that
[00:18:26] was when that
[00:18:27] all went down
[00:18:28] here
[00:18:28] let's do that
[00:18:29] again
[00:18:29] fair fair fair
[00:18:31] fair
[00:18:32] okay
[00:18:32] oh yes
[00:18:33] also
[00:18:34] turns out
[00:18:35] Immhotep is
[00:18:36] afraid of cats
[00:18:37] I love it
[00:18:38] my favorite
[00:18:38] part of the
[00:18:39] movie
[00:18:40] why doesn't
[00:18:41] that cat
[00:18:42] get a name
[00:18:42] right
[00:18:43] we were
[00:18:44] we were
[00:18:44] messaging about
[00:18:45] that
[00:18:45] we're like
[00:18:45] does he
[00:18:46] have a name
[00:18:47] so while
[00:18:47] trying to
[00:18:48] figure out
[00:18:49] how to
[00:18:49] kill
[00:18:50] Immhotep
[00:18:50] Evelyn and
[00:18:51] the crew
[00:18:51] realized
[00:18:51] that the
[00:18:52] curator
[00:18:54] is part
[00:18:54] of the
[00:18:55] magi
[00:18:55] this explains
[00:18:56] the whole
[00:18:56] burning of
[00:18:57] the map
[00:18:58] thing
[00:18:58] right
[00:18:58] because I
[00:18:59] was at
[00:18:59] the time
[00:19:00] I was like
[00:19:00] no self
[00:19:01] respecting
[00:19:01] Egyptologist
[00:19:02] would handle
[00:19:03] an artifact
[00:19:03] like that
[00:19:04] you know
[00:19:04] they also
[00:19:05] learn that
[00:19:06] Immhotep is
[00:19:06] afraid of
[00:19:07] cats
[00:19:07] because
[00:19:07] cats
[00:19:08] are the
[00:19:08] keepers
[00:19:08] of the
[00:19:09] underworld
[00:19:10] anyway
[00:19:11] so they
[00:19:11] figure out
[00:19:12] that somehow
[00:19:12] Immhotep wants
[00:19:13] to use
[00:19:13] Evelyn to
[00:19:14] resurrect
[00:19:15] Ang Sunamun
[00:19:16] and she
[00:19:16] herself
[00:19:17] being the
[00:19:17] brilliant
[00:19:17] woman that
[00:19:18] she is
[00:19:19] deduces
[00:19:20] that since
[00:19:21] the book
[00:19:21] of the
[00:19:22] dead
[00:19:22] brought
[00:19:23] Immhotep
[00:19:24] back to
[00:19:24] life
[00:19:24] the book
[00:19:25] of Amodra
[00:19:26] can kill
[00:19:27] him again
[00:19:28] also because
[00:19:29] she's
[00:19:29] brilliant
[00:19:30] like I said
[00:19:31] she figures
[00:19:31] that that
[00:19:32] book has
[00:19:33] to also
[00:19:34] be hidden
[00:19:34] back in
[00:19:35] Hamunaptra
[00:19:35] however
[00:19:36] before they
[00:19:36] can all
[00:19:37] get there
[00:19:37] Immhotep
[00:19:37] and his
[00:19:38] army of
[00:19:38] zombies
[00:19:39] they
[00:19:39] kind of
[00:19:39] like
[00:19:39] storm
[00:19:40] the
[00:19:40] museum
[00:19:40] chase
[00:19:41] them
[00:19:41] all
[00:19:42] and to
[00:19:42] save her
[00:19:43] crew
[00:19:44] Evelyn agrees
[00:19:45] to go
[00:19:45] with Immhotep
[00:19:46] figuring that
[00:19:47] you know
[00:19:47] what
[00:19:47] he has
[00:19:48] to take
[00:19:49] her to
[00:19:49] Hamunaptra
[00:19:50] anyway
[00:19:51] so they
[00:19:51] can all
[00:19:51] you know
[00:19:52] meet back
[00:19:52] there
[00:19:52] together
[00:19:53] with the
[00:19:54] help
[00:19:54] of an
[00:19:54] old
[00:19:55] World War
[00:19:56] One
[00:19:56] airman
[00:19:56] who has
[00:19:57] a severe
[00:19:58] case of
[00:19:58] survivor's
[00:19:59] guilt
[00:19:59] the poor
[00:19:59] guy
[00:20:01] Rick
[00:20:01] Jonathan
[00:20:02] and Ardeth
[00:20:03] who is
[00:20:04] also
[00:20:04] who is
[00:20:04] the
[00:20:05] hottie
[00:20:05] I think
[00:20:06] he's
[00:20:06] hot
[00:20:07] everyone
[00:20:07] thinks
[00:20:08] he's
[00:20:08] hot
[00:20:09] yes
[00:20:10] okay
[00:20:11] good
[00:20:11] because you
[00:20:11] know
[00:20:11] I also
[00:20:12] have
[00:20:12] really weird
[00:20:12] taste in
[00:20:13] Ben
[00:20:13] so you
[00:20:14] know
[00:20:14] I never
[00:20:15] know
[00:20:15] so
[00:20:15] all right
[00:20:16] with
[00:20:17] Hottie
[00:20:17] Ardeth
[00:20:18] who is
[00:20:18] the head
[00:20:18] of the
[00:20:18] Magi
[00:20:19] right
[00:20:19] they
[00:20:20] fly
[00:20:21] to
[00:20:21] Hamunaptra
[00:20:21] however
[00:20:23] Imhotep
[00:20:23] who has
[00:20:24] magically
[00:20:24] transported
[00:20:25] himself
[00:20:26] Benny
[00:20:26] and
[00:20:27] Evelyn
[00:20:27] by means
[00:20:28] of
[00:20:28] sandstorm
[00:20:29] to
[00:20:30] Hamunaptra
[00:20:30] conjures up
[00:20:31] another
[00:20:32] sandstorm
[00:20:32] to crash
[00:20:33] their plane
[00:20:33] thus killing
[00:20:34] the poor
[00:20:35] airman
[00:20:36] but you
[00:20:36] know
[00:20:36] what
[00:20:36] he died
[00:20:37] hero's
[00:20:37] death
[00:20:38] which is
[00:20:38] what he
[00:20:38] wanted
[00:20:38] so Rick
[00:20:39] Jonathan
[00:20:39] and Ardeth
[00:20:40] they manage
[00:20:41] to find
[00:20:41] the book
[00:20:42] of
[00:20:42] Amunrah
[00:20:42] and
[00:20:43] there's
[00:20:44] this whole
[00:20:44] bit where
[00:20:45] you know
[00:20:45] Imhotep
[00:20:45] is like
[00:20:46] preparing
[00:20:46] to sacrifice
[00:20:47] Evelyn
[00:20:47] to resurrect
[00:20:48] his love
[00:20:49] I'm not
[00:20:50] going to
[00:20:50] go into
[00:20:50] the crazy
[00:20:51] details
[00:20:51] of the
[00:20:51] whole
[00:20:52] fight
[00:20:52] with
[00:20:53] monsters
[00:20:53] but
[00:20:53] this
[00:20:53] is
[00:20:53] fun
[00:20:55] the fight
[00:20:56] scene
[00:20:56] amazing
[00:20:57] the fight
[00:20:57] scene
[00:20:58] the fight
[00:20:58] scene
[00:20:58] kicking
[00:21:00] around
[00:21:00] some
[00:21:00] mummies
[00:21:01] yeah
[00:21:02] exactly
[00:21:02] mummies
[00:21:03] you get
[00:21:04] some really
[00:21:04] good
[00:21:04] sight gags
[00:21:05] as well
[00:21:05] stone
[00:21:06] monsters
[00:21:07] come
[00:21:07] about
[00:21:08] you know
[00:21:09] fight
[00:21:09] fight
[00:21:09] fight
[00:21:10] Brendan
[00:21:10] Frazier
[00:21:11] you know
[00:21:11] rescues
[00:21:12] Evelyn
[00:21:12] and then
[00:21:13] this whole
[00:21:14] her bungling
[00:21:15] brother
[00:21:16] gets the
[00:21:17] book
[00:21:17] and he's
[00:21:18] like
[00:21:18] oh no
[00:21:19] I don't
[00:21:19] know
[00:21:19] how to
[00:21:19] read it
[00:21:20] and then
[00:21:20] she's
[00:21:21] almost
[00:21:21] dying
[00:21:22] but
[00:21:22] she's
[00:21:22] telling
[00:21:23] him
[00:21:23] how
[00:21:24] to
[00:21:24] read
[00:21:24] the
[00:21:25] text
[00:21:25] and
[00:21:26] stuff
[00:21:26] anyway
[00:21:26] eventually
[00:21:27] Evelyn is
[00:21:28] able to
[00:21:28] read from
[00:21:29] the book
[00:21:29] of
[00:21:29] Amunrah
[00:21:30] thus
[00:21:31] making
[00:21:31] Imhotep
[00:21:31] mortal
[00:21:32] so there's
[00:21:33] this whole
[00:21:33] big scene
[00:21:34] where
[00:21:34] you're
[00:21:34] like
[00:21:34] is he
[00:21:35] dying
[00:21:35] is
[00:21:35] he
[00:21:36] gonna
[00:21:36] die
[00:21:36] no
[00:21:36] this
[00:21:37] is
[00:21:42] yeah
[00:21:43] exactly
[00:21:43] he's
[00:21:44] like
[00:21:44] and then
[00:21:45] you're
[00:21:45] like
[00:21:46] wait
[00:21:46] he's
[00:21:46] not
[00:21:46] dead
[00:21:46] yet
[00:21:47] and then
[00:21:47] he
[00:21:47] realizes
[00:21:47] oh
[00:21:48] he's
[00:21:48] mortal
[00:21:49] so Brendan
[00:21:50] Frazier
[00:21:50] stabs him
[00:21:51] and he
[00:21:51] dies
[00:21:52] and he's
[00:21:53] like
[00:21:53] I'll be
[00:21:54] back
[00:21:55] meanwhile
[00:21:56] I mean
[00:22:03] paraphrased
[00:22:04] from the
[00:22:05] ancient
[00:22:05] Egyptian
[00:22:10] so meanwhile
[00:22:12] Benny
[00:22:12] don't forget
[00:22:12] about him
[00:22:13] right
[00:22:13] he's
[00:22:13] running
[00:22:13] around
[00:22:14] because
[00:22:14] by the
[00:22:14] way
[00:22:15] they
[00:22:15] actually
[00:22:16] found
[00:22:16] this
[00:22:17] giant
[00:22:18] cavern
[00:22:18] with
[00:22:19] all the
[00:22:20] riches
[00:22:20] of
[00:22:20] the
[00:22:21] pharaoh
[00:22:21] very
[00:22:22] a la
[00:22:22] Aladdin's
[00:22:23] cave
[00:22:23] you know
[00:22:23] cave
[00:22:24] of
[00:22:24] windows
[00:22:24] so cool
[00:22:25] right
[00:22:25] so he's
[00:22:26] like
[00:22:26] damn
[00:22:26] I'm
[00:22:27] gonna
[00:22:27] take
[00:22:27] all
[00:22:27] this
[00:22:27] shit
[00:22:27] so he's
[00:22:29] trying to
[00:22:29] like
[00:22:29] you know
[00:22:29] get out
[00:22:30] with all
[00:22:31] his
[00:22:31] riches
[00:22:32] and stuff
[00:22:33] ends up
[00:22:34] setting off
[00:22:34] this like
[00:22:34] booby trap
[00:22:35] you know
[00:22:36] which basically
[00:22:37] has to
[00:22:38] like
[00:22:38] causes the
[00:22:38] city to
[00:22:39] collapse
[00:22:39] thankfully
[00:22:40] everybody
[00:22:40] escapes
[00:22:41] not him
[00:22:42] though
[00:22:42] he
[00:22:43] basically
[00:22:44] is killed
[00:22:44] by a
[00:22:45] swarm
[00:22:45] of
[00:22:45] you know
[00:22:46] our
[00:22:46] favorite

[00:23:06] of the
[00:23:06] loot

[00:23:09] of stashed
[00:23:10] away

[00:23:10] didn't know
[00:23:11] that yet
[00:23:12] dn
[00:23:13] hooray
[00:23:16] okay
[00:23:16] great job
[00:23:17] thanks
[00:23:18] I try to
[00:23:19] make it as
[00:23:19] snappy as
[00:23:20] I could
[00:23:20] oh no
[00:23:21] brilliant
[00:23:22] there's so
[00:23:22] much going
[00:23:23] on in the
[00:23:23] movie
[00:23:24] so much
[00:23:25] going on
[00:23:25] and obviously
[00:23:26] not that
[00:23:27] not that
[00:23:27] I'm an
[00:23:28] expert on
[00:23:28] this movie
[00:23:29] by any
[00:23:30] stretch of
[00:23:30] the imagination
[00:23:32] however
[00:23:34] however
[00:23:34] I am happy
[00:23:36] to attempt
[00:23:36] to answer
[00:23:37] questions
[00:23:37] about this
[00:23:38] movie
[00:23:39] if you
[00:23:39] have any
[00:23:40] please
[00:23:40] yes
[00:23:42] I've seen
[00:23:43] it a lot
[00:23:43] this is the
[00:23:44] one movie
[00:23:45] you know
[00:23:45] there's always
[00:23:46] one movie
[00:23:46] that you've
[00:23:47] seen like
[00:23:47] so many
[00:23:48] times in
[00:23:48] your life
[00:23:49] like the
[00:23:49] most times
[00:23:49] this is the
[00:23:50] movie that
[00:23:51] I've seen
[00:23:51] the most
[00:23:51] times in
[00:23:52] my entire
[00:23:52] life
[00:23:53] so
[00:23:54] again
[00:23:55] if not
[00:23:56] this movie
[00:23:57] what movie
[00:23:58] exactly
[00:23:58] my question
[00:24:00] yeah
[00:24:00] it's
[00:24:01] and also
[00:24:02] as well
[00:24:03] in the UK
[00:24:04] especially
[00:24:05] this movie
[00:24:06] is always
[00:24:07] on like
[00:24:08] ITV2
[00:24:09] on a Saturday
[00:24:10] afternoon
[00:24:10] but it's
[00:24:11] like a
[00:24:11] really
[00:24:12] cut down
[00:24:12] version
[00:24:13] because
[00:24:13] it's like
[00:24:14] they put
[00:24:14] it on
[00:24:14] on a
[00:24:15] Saturday
[00:24:15] afternoon
[00:24:15] so they
[00:24:16] take out
[00:24:16] all of
[00:24:16] the really
[00:24:17] gory
[00:24:17] stuff
[00:24:18] it's not
[00:24:18] really
[00:24:18] gory
[00:24:18] but you
[00:24:19] know
[00:24:19] what I
[00:24:19] mean
[00:24:19] like
[00:24:20] the more
[00:24:21] suggestive
[00:24:22] stuff
[00:24:22] they take
[00:24:23] out
[00:24:24] yeah
[00:24:24] so it's just
[00:24:25] like
[00:24:26] ITV2
[00:24:26] just put it
[00:24:27] on at
[00:24:27] nine o'clock
[00:24:27] at night
[00:24:28] like a
[00:24:28] normal
[00:24:28] channel
[00:24:29] yeah
[00:24:29] exactly
[00:24:29] but anyway
[00:24:30] yeah
[00:24:30] so why
[00:24:31] do we
[00:24:31] love this
[00:24:32] movie so
[00:24:32] much
[00:24:32] why
[00:24:33] can you
[00:24:33] explain that
[00:24:34] to us
[00:24:34] can you
[00:24:35] can you
[00:24:35] elaborate
[00:24:36] on oh
[00:24:37] I don't
[00:24:38] know
[00:24:38] maybe the
[00:24:39] history and
[00:24:39] legacy
[00:24:40] of this
[00:24:40] film
[00:24:55] I mean
[00:24:56] the mummy
[00:24:56] quite
[00:24:56] fascinating
[00:24:57] so first
[00:24:57] of all
[00:24:58] I've never
[00:24:58] actually seen
[00:24:59] the original
[00:25:00] 1932 version
[00:25:01] but I really
[00:25:02] want to
[00:25:03] because
[00:25:04] this movie
[00:25:05] took so
[00:25:06] much from
[00:25:06] that
[00:25:07] so I've
[00:25:07] never seen
[00:25:08] that film
[00:25:08] Kim you've
[00:25:09] never seen
[00:25:09] that film
[00:25:10] no
[00:25:10] this is
[00:25:10] actually the
[00:25:11] only mummy
[00:25:11] film I've
[00:25:12] ever seen
[00:25:12] I mean
[00:25:13] it's the
[00:25:13] only one
[00:25:14] you need
[00:25:14] to see
[00:25:14] yeah
[00:25:17] okay
[00:25:17] well that's
[00:25:18] good
[00:25:19] I know
[00:25:19] that there
[00:25:20] was a
[00:25:20] 2017
[00:25:21] reboot
[00:25:21] which
[00:25:22] you said
[00:25:22] oh my
[00:25:23] god
[00:25:23] it was
[00:25:23] horrible
[00:25:24] I watched
[00:25:24] that one
[00:25:25] did you
[00:25:25] because I
[00:25:25] was bored
[00:25:26] we don't
[00:25:26] talk about
[00:25:27] that one
[00:25:27] no
[00:25:29] that's the
[00:25:30] Bruno of
[00:25:31] like all
[00:25:32] conversations
[00:25:32] we don't
[00:25:33] talk about
[00:25:33] Bruno
[00:25:33] that's the
[00:25:34] Bruno
[00:25:37] it's just
[00:25:38] not good
[00:25:38] so with
[00:25:40] regards to
[00:25:41] this movie
[00:25:41] Universal
[00:25:42] and sort
[00:25:43] of their
[00:25:43] history with
[00:25:44] their own
[00:25:45] monsters
[00:25:46] is quite
[00:25:47] fascinating
[00:25:47] because obviously
[00:25:48] they had a
[00:25:48] period of
[00:25:49] time where
[00:25:49] the Universal
[00:25:50] monsters
[00:25:51] kind of
[00:25:51] you know
[00:25:52] in the
[00:25:53] kind of
[00:25:54] 30s
[00:25:54] the 50s
[00:25:55] kind of
[00:25:56] thing
[00:25:56] the Universal
[00:25:56] Monsters
[00:25:57] were
[00:25:58] basically
[00:25:58] like cinema
[00:25:59] that was
[00:25:59] that was
[00:26:00] really what
[00:26:00] people wanted
[00:26:01] to see
[00:26:01] and there's
[00:26:02] so many
[00:26:03] Universal
[00:26:03] monster
[00:26:04] movies
[00:26:04] they are
[00:26:05] classics
[00:26:05] for a
[00:26:05] reason
[00:26:06] but like
[00:26:06] most things
[00:26:07] in Hollywood
[00:26:07] Hollywood
[00:26:08] will always
[00:26:08] try and
[00:26:09] make
[00:26:09] they don't
[00:26:10] even need
[00:26:10] to make
[00:26:10] an excuse
[00:26:10] they will
[00:26:11] always
[00:26:12] want to
[00:26:12] recycle
[00:26:12] IP
[00:26:13] and it's
[00:26:14] like you
[00:26:14] see it
[00:26:15] nowadays
[00:26:15] and it tends
[00:26:15] to be
[00:26:16] like in a
[00:26:16] particular
[00:26:17] you know
[00:26:17] the cycle
[00:26:18] of nostalgia
[00:26:18] like something
[00:26:19] that was big
[00:26:19] 30 years ago
[00:26:20] they'll do
[00:26:21] a reboot
[00:26:22] or you know
[00:26:23] a sequel
[00:26:23] legacy sequels
[00:26:24] are like all
[00:26:25] the rage
[00:26:25] at the moment
[00:26:26] oh yeah
[00:26:27] like you
[00:26:27] know
[00:26:27] Beetlejuice 2
[00:26:28] exactly
[00:26:29] literally
[00:26:30] just come out
[00:26:31] as of recording
[00:26:32] this podcast
[00:26:32] and in a way
[00:26:34] it makes sense
[00:26:34] because the
[00:26:35] people who are
[00:26:36] making these movies
[00:26:37] grew up with
[00:26:38] those movies
[00:26:38] just as we
[00:26:39] grew up
[00:26:39] watching
[00:26:40] those movies
[00:26:41] so it's like
[00:26:42] they're tapping
[00:26:42] into that nostalgia
[00:26:43] so that people
[00:26:44] like us
[00:26:44] will go
[00:26:45] oh my god
[00:26:45] I loved
[00:26:46] Beetlejuice
[00:26:46] I'm gonna go
[00:26:47] and see that
[00:26:47] and to be fair
[00:26:48] I love
[00:26:49] Beetlejuice
[00:26:50] oh I love
[00:26:51] Beetlejuice
[00:26:51] so I am probably
[00:26:53] gonna be that
[00:26:53] person going to
[00:26:54] the cinema this
[00:26:55] weekend and watching
[00:26:56] Beetlejuice
[00:26:56] Beetlejuice
[00:26:57] I need to see
[00:26:58] Winona Ryder
[00:26:58] and her triangle
[00:27:00] goth hair again
[00:27:01] oh she's
[00:27:02] and the thing is
[00:27:03] is literally
[00:27:04] I wanted to be
[00:27:05] Winona Ryder
[00:27:06] so much
[00:27:06] when I was a kid
[00:27:07] she was like
[00:27:08] my idol
[00:27:09] and like my
[00:27:10] little goth idol
[00:27:11] because I had
[00:27:12] like the dark
[00:27:13] hair and
[00:27:13] the pale skin
[00:27:14] and you know
[00:27:15] all of that
[00:27:17] you know
[00:27:17] in many ways
[00:27:18] I still kind of
[00:27:19] do
[00:27:20] because I am
[00:27:20] incredibly pale
[00:27:22] but it's
[00:27:23] it's one of those
[00:27:24] things that Hollywood
[00:27:25] loves to do
[00:27:26] and it's like
[00:27:27] why bother
[00:27:27] investing in
[00:27:28] something that
[00:27:29] we don't know
[00:27:30] if people will
[00:27:30] go and see
[00:27:31] when we've
[00:27:32] got something
[00:27:33] that we know
[00:27:34] people will go
[00:27:34] and see
[00:27:35] but it was
[00:27:36] quite interesting
[00:27:36] because they
[00:27:37] had very little
[00:27:38] faith in this
[00:27:40] as a concept
[00:27:40] so the story
[00:27:41] starts back
[00:27:42] in 1992
[00:27:43] with two
[00:27:44] producers
[00:27:44] James Jackson
[00:27:45] Sean Daniel
[00:27:46] and they
[00:27:46] basically had
[00:27:47] this idea
[00:27:48] to produce
[00:27:49] a new version
[00:27:50] of the
[00:27:51] 1932 version
[00:27:52] of The Mummy
[00:27:53] and Universal
[00:27:54] were like
[00:27:54] yeah yeah
[00:27:55] that's cool
[00:27:55] you can do
[00:27:56] that but
[00:27:56] you have to
[00:27:57] have
[00:27:57] you can only
[00:27:58] have 10
[00:27:58] million dollars
[00:27:58] and obviously
[00:27:59] nowadays
[00:28:00] that's practically
[00:28:01] nothing for a
[00:28:02] movie
[00:28:02] but even
[00:28:03] kind of
[00:28:03] in the 90s
[00:28:04] that's not
[00:28:05] a great deal
[00:28:06] of money
[00:28:06] for a
[00:28:08] monster movie
[00:28:09] but they
[00:28:10] were like
[00:28:10] okay well
[00:28:11] who's a
[00:28:12] director
[00:28:12] who is
[00:28:14] fairly good
[00:28:15] with monsters
[00:28:15] and stuff
[00:28:16] I know
[00:28:17] let's call
[00:28:17] Clive Barker
[00:28:18] and obviously
[00:28:19] Clive Barker
[00:28:20] probably most
[00:28:20] well known
[00:28:21] for Hellraiser
[00:28:21] which is
[00:28:22] very dark
[00:28:23] very sexual
[00:28:24] very violent
[00:28:26] so the fact
[00:28:28] that Barker's
[00:28:29] vision was
[00:28:30] very dark
[00:28:31] very violent
[00:28:32] very sexual
[00:28:32] not really
[00:28:34] a massive
[00:28:35] surprise
[00:28:36] but Universal
[00:28:37] were like
[00:28:38] no we
[00:28:39] don't really
[00:28:40] want like
[00:28:40] the mummy
[00:28:41] version of
[00:28:42] Hellraiser
[00:28:43] you know
[00:28:43] it's not
[00:28:44] really kind
[00:28:44] of our
[00:28:45] thing
[00:28:45] so then
[00:28:47] it's like
[00:28:47] they went
[00:28:48] through like
[00:28:48] a list
[00:28:48] of people
[00:28:49] and the next
[00:28:50] person they
[00:28:50] went to
[00:28:50] was Joe
[00:28:51] Dante
[00:28:52] he's one
[00:28:52] of the
[00:28:53] directors
[00:28:53] that we
[00:28:54] all grew
[00:28:55] up with
[00:28:55] and it's
[00:28:55] like things
[00:28:56] like gremlins
[00:28:56] and stuff
[00:28:57] like that
[00:28:58] and like
[00:28:59] Joe Dante
[00:29:00] is the sort
[00:29:00] of guy
[00:29:00] he makes
[00:29:01] something
[00:29:01] like gremlins
[00:29:02] and then he
[00:29:02] goes
[00:29:02] do you know
[00:29:03] what I'm
[00:29:03] going to make
[00:29:04] gremlins 2
[00:29:04] the new batch
[00:29:05] and it's just
[00:29:05] going to be
[00:29:05] so completely
[00:29:06] batshit crazy
[00:29:07] that no one's
[00:29:09] going to want
[00:29:09] to make
[00:29:09] another gremlins
[00:29:10] movie ever
[00:29:10] again
[00:29:11] and obviously
[00:29:11] they still
[00:29:12] haven't
[00:29:12] but his
[00:29:13] idea was
[00:29:14] Daniel Day
[00:29:15] Lewis
[00:29:16] which is
[00:29:17] bizarre
[00:29:17] Daniel Day
[00:29:18] Lewis
[00:29:19] as like
[00:29:20] this broody
[00:29:21] contemporary mummy
[00:29:22] who was like
[00:29:23] haunted
[00:29:24] and like
[00:29:25] it had this
[00:29:26] big epic
[00:29:26] love story
[00:29:27] oh my god
[00:29:28] I would love
[00:29:29] that
[00:29:29] okay
[00:29:29] yes
[00:29:30] so that does
[00:29:31] sound very
[00:29:32] sexy
[00:29:32] but you
[00:29:33] cannot give
[00:29:34] Daniel Day
[00:29:35] Lewis
[00:29:35] a mummy
[00:29:36] character
[00:29:36] to play
[00:29:37] he will
[00:29:37] literally
[00:29:38] mummify
[00:29:38] himself
[00:29:39] yeah
[00:29:40] he would
[00:29:40] he would
[00:29:41] he would
[00:29:42] but in my
[00:29:43] mind I kind
[00:29:44] of look at it
[00:29:44] a bit like
[00:29:45] Bram Stoker's
[00:29:45] Dracula
[00:29:46] you know
[00:29:46] when it's
[00:29:47] like
[00:29:47] because Gary
[00:29:47] Oldman
[00:29:48] in that movie
[00:29:48] you know
[00:29:49] he's kind
[00:29:50] of a bit
[00:29:50] method as
[00:29:51] well
[00:29:51] and he
[00:29:51] kind of
[00:29:52] went a bit
[00:29:52] vampire
[00:29:53] but he's
[00:29:54] like
[00:29:54] he's so
[00:29:55] sexy
[00:29:56] in that
[00:29:57] movie
[00:29:57] and I
[00:29:58] love
[00:29:59] Bram Stoker's
[00:29:59] Dracula
[00:29:59] I think
[00:30:00] it's
[00:30:00] awesome
[00:30:01] you too
[00:30:01] I think
[00:30:02] it's
[00:30:02] incredible
[00:30:03] movie
[00:30:03] beautiful
[00:30:04] production
[00:30:05] design
[00:30:05] almost
[00:30:06] completely
[00:30:07] practical
[00:30:07] effects
[00:30:07] as well
[00:30:08] which I
[00:30:08] love
[00:30:09] beautiful
[00:30:09] costumes
[00:30:10] everything
[00:30:10] perfect
[00:30:11] but that
[00:30:12] idea for
[00:30:13] like
[00:30:13] you can
[00:30:14] make
[00:30:14] Dracula
[00:30:14] sexy
[00:30:15] because
[00:30:15] like
[00:30:16] vampires
[00:30:16] are basically
[00:30:18] you know
[00:30:19] a metaphor
[00:30:19] for desire
[00:30:20] and sex
[00:30:21] and all
[00:30:21] of that
[00:30:21] sort of
[00:30:21] stuff
[00:30:21] you can't
[00:30:22] really
[00:30:22] make a
[00:30:23] mummy
[00:30:23] sexy
[00:30:24] I mean
[00:30:25] they try
[00:30:26] their best
[00:30:27] in this
[00:30:27] movie
[00:30:30] but
[00:30:31] Joe Dante
[00:30:32] actually was
[00:30:33] the one
[00:30:34] who thought
[00:30:34] of the
[00:30:34] flesh-eating
[00:30:35] scarabs
[00:30:36] so
[00:30:37] that's
[00:30:38] kind of
[00:30:38] Elizabeth and
[00:30:39] Joe Dante
[00:30:39] that kind
[00:30:40] of made
[00:30:41] it
[00:30:41] but the
[00:30:41] problem
[00:30:42] with this
[00:30:42] movie
[00:30:43] with Daniel
[00:30:43] Day-Lewis
[00:30:44] was it
[00:30:44] was going
[00:30:45] to cost
[00:30:45] 15
[00:30:45] million
[00:30:46] dollars
[00:30:46] so over
[00:30:47] the 10
[00:30:48] so they
[00:30:49] were like
[00:30:49] no it's
[00:30:49] too expensive
[00:30:50] you can't
[00:30:50] do it
[00:30:51] then they
[00:30:51] went
[00:30:52] to
[00:30:52] another
[00:30:53] legendary
[00:30:54] horror
[00:30:54] director
[00:30:55] George
[00:30:56] Romero
[00:30:56] obviously
[00:30:57] most famous
[00:30:58] for
[00:30:58] Night of
[00:30:59] the Living
[00:30:59] Dead
[00:30:59] which is
[00:31:00] an absolute
[00:31:01] classic
[00:31:01] I did it
[00:31:03] on the podcast
[00:31:03] last year
[00:31:03] and I
[00:31:04] completely
[00:31:04] loved that
[00:31:05] movie
[00:31:05] but Romero
[00:31:06] also wanted
[00:31:07] it to be
[00:31:08] quite dark
[00:31:08] and violent
[00:31:09] and he
[00:31:10] wanted like
[00:31:10] elements of
[00:31:11] tragic
[00:31:11] romance
[00:31:12] and all
[00:31:13] of that
[00:31:13] sort of
[00:31:14] stuff
[00:31:14] and his
[00:31:15] version was
[00:31:16] quite interesting
[00:31:16] but he
[00:31:17] had contractual
[00:31:18] obligations
[00:31:18] elsewhere
[00:31:19] so it
[00:31:20] kind of
[00:31:20] never
[00:31:21] happened
[00:31:21] well it
[00:31:21] didn't
[00:31:24] really
[00:31:25] know
[00:31:25] who
[00:31:25] Mick
[00:31:25] Garris
[00:31:25] is
[00:31:26] but he
[00:31:26] was
[00:31:27] offered
[00:31:27] it
[00:31:28] and then
[00:31:28] Wes Craven
[00:31:29] was offered
[00:31:30] it as well
[00:31:30] and obviously
[00:31:31] Wes Craven
[00:31:31] also another
[00:31:33] iconic horror
[00:31:34] director
[00:31:34] but Wes Craven
[00:31:36] turned it down
[00:31:36] so it was at
[00:31:38] that point
[00:31:38] it was not
[00:31:39] so this whole
[00:31:40] story all started
[00:31:41] in 1992
[00:31:41] with James Jackson
[00:31:43] and Daniel
[00:31:43] it's now
[00:31:44] 1997
[00:31:46] and completely
[00:31:47] separate
[00:31:48] Stephen
[00:31:49] Summers
[00:31:50] calls them
[00:31:51] and says
[00:31:52] I have an
[00:31:53] idea for a
[00:31:53] mummy movie
[00:31:54] and he
[00:31:55] wanted like
[00:31:56] an Indiana
[00:31:57] Jones
[00:31:57] style
[00:31:58] mix with
[00:32:00] like Jason
[00:32:00] in the Argonauts
[00:32:01] kind of
[00:32:02] action adventure
[00:32:03] movie
[00:32:03] with like
[00:32:04] a hero
[00:32:05] and a
[00:32:06] creature
[00:32:06] and basically
[00:32:08] he'd seen the
[00:32:09] original movie
[00:32:10] when he was a
[00:32:10] kid
[00:32:10] and he is
[00:32:12] just a huge
[00:32:12] fan of
[00:32:13] Universal
[00:32:13] Monsters
[00:32:14] he also did
[00:32:15] the movie
[00:32:15] Van Helsing
[00:32:16] as well
[00:32:16] where it's
[00:32:17] basically just
[00:32:18] a love-in
[00:32:20] for him
[00:32:20] and the
[00:32:21] Universal
[00:32:21] Monsters
[00:32:21] Van Helsing
[00:32:22] is a fascinating
[00:32:23] movie in its own
[00:32:24] right but
[00:32:25] it was like
[00:32:25] reminded him of
[00:32:26] his dad
[00:32:26] and so he was
[00:32:27] like I really
[00:32:28] want to make
[00:32:28] a mummy movie
[00:32:29] and the reason
[00:32:30] that this
[00:32:31] version of the
[00:32:31] mummy actually
[00:32:32] got made in
[00:32:32] the first place
[00:32:33] is fascinating
[00:32:34] because
[00:32:36] Universal
[00:32:37] weren't doing
[00:32:38] so well
[00:32:39] at the time
[00:32:39] and they
[00:32:41] basically had
[00:32:41] a string of
[00:32:42] box office
[00:32:42] failures
[00:32:43] and so that
[00:32:44] basically changed
[00:32:45] the management
[00:32:46] at Universal
[00:32:46] and the
[00:32:47] main box
[00:32:48] office failure
[00:32:49] that they
[00:32:49] had was
[00:32:50] the Babe
[00:32:51] sequel
[00:32:52] Babe
[00:32:52] Pig in the
[00:32:53] City
[00:32:54] and the
[00:32:55] loss of
[00:32:56] Babe
[00:32:56] Pig in the
[00:32:57] City
[00:32:58] led Universal
[00:32:59] to revisit
[00:33:00] those successful
[00:33:01] franchises of
[00:33:01] the past
[00:33:02] to kind of
[00:33:02] say well
[00:33:02] what can we
[00:33:03] do to make
[00:33:03] some more
[00:33:04] money
[00:33:04] we're running
[00:33:05] out
[00:33:05] like all
[00:33:06] of these
[00:33:07] particular
[00:33:07] movies
[00:33:07] aren't
[00:33:08] making
[00:33:08] money
[00:33:08] we've
[00:33:09] lost
[00:33:09] loads
[00:33:10] of money
[00:33:10] on Babe
[00:33:10] Pig
[00:33:10] in the
[00:33:11] City
[00:33:11] so what
[00:33:12] can we
[00:33:12] do to
[00:33:12] try and
[00:33:13] fix the
[00:33:13] problem
[00:33:13] and so
[00:33:14] basically
[00:33:15] the reason
[00:33:15] why we
[00:33:16] got this
[00:33:16] movie was
[00:33:16] because of
[00:33:17] Babe
[00:33:17] Pig in the
[00:33:18] City
[00:33:18] being a
[00:33:18] failure
[00:33:20] I love
[00:33:21] that movie
[00:33:24] it's just
[00:33:25] one of those
[00:33:26] weird things
[00:33:27] in Hollywood
[00:33:27] it's like
[00:33:28] the dominoes
[00:33:29] Hollywood sets
[00:33:29] up the
[00:33:30] dominoes
[00:33:30] and wherever
[00:33:31] the dominoes
[00:33:31] choose to
[00:33:32] fall is
[00:33:32] wherever
[00:33:33] they choose
[00:33:33] to fall
[00:33:33] but I
[00:33:34] find stuff
[00:33:35] fascinating
[00:33:36] like this
[00:33:36] that something
[00:33:37] else can
[00:33:38] basically be
[00:33:38] the catalyst
[00:33:39] for a
[00:33:40] studio
[00:33:40] like
[00:33:41] Universal
[00:33:41] to say
[00:33:42] oh well
[00:33:43] okay we'll
[00:33:43] make this
[00:33:44] then
[00:33:44] because
[00:33:45] they ended
[00:33:46] up liking
[00:33:47] the idea
[00:33:47] so much
[00:33:48] that they
[00:33:49] not only
[00:33:49] approved
[00:33:50] the concept
[00:33:51] but they
[00:33:52] increased
[00:33:52] the budget
[00:33:53] as well
[00:33:53] so even
[00:33:55] though they
[00:33:55] had these
[00:33:56] losses
[00:33:56] they were
[00:33:56] basically
[00:33:57] like okay
[00:33:57] we really
[00:33:58] like the
[00:33:58] concept
[00:33:58] but we're
[00:33:58] going to
[00:33:59] need to
[00:33:59] spend
[00:33:59] some
[00:33:59] money
[00:33:59] on
[00:34:00] this
[00:34:00] so the
[00:34:01] budget
[00:34:02] was
[00:34:02] increased
[00:34:02] up
[00:34:03] from
[00:34:04] like the
[00:34:04] 10
[00:34:04] million
[00:34:05] dollars
[00:34:05] that it
[00:34:05] was
[00:34:06] to
[00:34:06] 80
[00:34:07] million
[00:34:07] dollars
[00:34:08] oh my
[00:34:08] god
[00:34:08] that's a
[00:34:09] hell
[00:34:09] a lot
[00:34:09] increase
[00:34:10] yeah
[00:34:10] and
[00:34:11] but the
[00:34:12] reason why
[00:34:12] they needed
[00:34:13] to do
[00:34:13] that was
[00:34:14] for many
[00:34:15] different
[00:34:15] reasons
[00:34:15] but the
[00:34:16] biggest
[00:34:17] amount
[00:34:17] of money
[00:34:18] that was
[00:34:18] spent
[00:34:19] on you
[00:34:20] know in
[00:34:20] the budget
[00:34:21] in its
[00:34:21] entirety
[00:34:22] was on
[00:34:23] the visual
[00:34:23] effects
[00:34:23] and I
[00:34:25] hear a lot
[00:34:25] of people
[00:34:26] who will
[00:34:26] basically say
[00:34:27] oh the
[00:34:28] mummy
[00:34:28] looks
[00:34:28] crap
[00:34:28] it really
[00:34:30] doesn't
[00:34:30] where
[00:34:30] the mummy
[00:34:32] looks
[00:34:32] fantastic
[00:34:33] the CG
[00:34:34] ages
[00:34:35] and this
[00:34:36] is just
[00:34:36] a thing
[00:34:36] this is a
[00:34:37] fact of
[00:34:37] life
[00:34:37] CG
[00:34:38] age
[00:34:39] but the
[00:34:40] movie was
[00:34:41] a first
[00:34:41] this was
[00:34:42] industrial
[00:34:42] light of
[00:34:42] magic
[00:34:43] obviously
[00:34:43] one of
[00:34:44] the greatest
[00:34:44] visual
[00:34:45] effects
[00:34:45] studios
[00:34:45] in the
[00:34:46] whole
[00:34:46] of
[00:34:46] Hollywood
[00:34:46] and
[00:34:47] Imhotep
[00:34:47] was the
[00:34:48] first
[00:34:48] fully
[00:34:49] computer
[00:34:49] generated
[00:34:49] character
[00:34:50] to have
[00:34:50] full
[00:34:51] human
[00:34:52] anatomy
[00:34:52] so
[00:34:53] Imhotep
[00:34:53] was created
[00:34:54] as a
[00:34:55] skeleton
[00:34:56] and then
[00:34:56] he
[00:34:57] individual
[00:34:57] muscles
[00:34:58] were added
[00:34:58] and it
[00:34:59] was basically
[00:35:00] all sequenced
[00:35:01] Arnold
[00:35:02] Vosloo
[00:35:02] actually
[00:35:03] did
[00:35:03] motion
[00:35:04] capture
[00:35:04] for it
[00:35:05] which was
[00:35:05] also
[00:35:06] quite
[00:35:06] new
[00:35:07] they
[00:35:07] didn't
[00:35:07] really
[00:35:07] do
[00:35:08] very
[00:35:08] much
[00:35:08] motion
[00:35:08] capture
[00:35:09] at the
[00:35:09] time
[00:35:09] and it
[00:35:10] usually
[00:35:11] if you
[00:35:11] did
[00:35:12] do
[00:35:12] motion
[00:35:12] capture
[00:35:12] it
[00:35:12] was
[00:35:13] with a
[00:35:13] stunt
[00:35:13] person
[00:35:14] but
[00:35:14] Arnold
[00:35:14] Vosloo
[00:35:15] did
[00:35:15] that
[00:35:15] whole
[00:35:15] performance
[00:35:16] so
[00:35:16] the
[00:35:16] whole
[00:35:16] performance
[00:35:17] that
[00:35:17] you
[00:35:17] see
[00:35:17] as
[00:35:18] the
[00:35:18] CG
[00:35:18] version
[00:35:19] of
[00:35:19] Imhotep
[00:35:19] in all
[00:35:20] of his
[00:35:20] stages
[00:35:21] is
[00:35:22] all
[00:35:22] Arnold
[00:35:22] Vosloo
[00:35:24] and
[00:35:24] 20%
[00:35:25] of the
[00:35:26] budget
[00:35:26] was
[00:35:27] visual
[00:35:27] effects
[00:35:27] alone
[00:35:28] so
[00:35:29] a huge
[00:35:31] amount
[00:35:31] of money
[00:35:31] was spent
[00:35:32] on the
[00:35:33] visual
[00:35:33] effects
[00:35:34] of this
[00:35:34] movie
[00:35:34] it
[00:35:35] wasn't
[00:35:35] filmed
[00:35:35] in
[00:35:36] Egypt
[00:35:36] because
[00:35:36] they
[00:35:37] couldn't
[00:35:37] film
[00:35:37] in
[00:35:37] Egypt
[00:35:38] because
[00:35:38] filming
[00:35:39] in
[00:35:39] Egypt
[00:35:39] just
[00:35:39] doesn't
[00:35:40] happen
[00:35:40] I think
[00:35:41] there's
[00:35:41] I'm
[00:35:42] trying to
[00:35:42] think
[00:35:42] I think
[00:35:42] it's
[00:35:43] like
[00:35:43] a
[00:35:43] Transformers
[00:35:44] movie
[00:35:44] or
[00:35:44] something
[00:35:45] like
[00:35:45] that
[00:35:45] was
[00:35:45] one
[00:35:45] of
[00:35:45] the
[00:35:46] first
[00:35:46] movies
[00:35:46] that
[00:35:46] was
[00:35:46] allowed
[00:35:47] to
[00:35:47] film
[00:35:47] in
[00:35:47] Egypt
[00:35:48] but
[00:35:50] anything
[00:35:50] that
[00:35:50] says
[00:35:51] it's
[00:35:51] filmed
[00:35:51] in
[00:35:51] Egypt
[00:35:53] is
[00:35:53] normally
[00:35:54] filmed
[00:35:54] in
[00:35:54] Morocco
[00:35:56] so
[00:35:56] this
[00:35:57] movie
[00:35:57] was
[00:35:57] filmed
[00:35:58] in
[00:35:58] Marrakesh
[00:35:58] and
[00:35:59] Urfud
[00:35:59] Morocco
[00:36:01] and
[00:36:02] they
[00:36:20] the
[00:36:26] movie
[00:36:28] is
[00:36:34] the
[00:36:34] sixth
[00:36:35] highest
[00:36:35] grossing
[00:36:35] movie
[00:36:35] of
[00:36:36] 1999
[00:36:36] after
[00:36:37] Star Wars
[00:36:38] Episode
[00:36:38] 1
[00:36:38] The Phantom
[00:36:39] Menace
[00:36:39] which was
[00:36:39] the biggest
[00:36:40] The Sixth
[00:36:41] Then
[00:36:41] Toy Story
[00:36:41] 2
[00:36:42] The Matrix
[00:36:42] and
[00:36:43] Tarzan
[00:36:43] Oh wow
[00:36:44] I mean
[00:36:44] a lot of
[00:36:45] big hitting
[00:36:46] movies
[00:36:46] 1999
[00:36:48] is a
[00:36:48] huge
[00:36:49] year
[00:36:49] for
[00:36:50] movies
[00:36:50] and
[00:36:51] what's
[00:36:52] completely
[00:36:52] fascinating
[00:36:52] is that
[00:36:53] Universal
[00:36:54] had so
[00:36:54] little
[00:36:55] faith
[00:36:55] in this
[00:36:55] movie
[00:36:56] they
[00:36:56] didn't
[00:36:56] really
[00:36:57] do
[00:36:57] a
[00:36:57] great
[00:36:57] deal
[00:36:58] of
[00:36:58] marketing
[00:36:58] or
[00:36:59] push
[00:36:59] or
[00:36:59] anything
[00:36:59] like
[00:37:00] that
[00:37:00] this
[00:37:01] was
[00:37:01] basically
[00:37:01] very
[00:37:02] organic
[00:37:03] in
[00:37:03] people
[00:37:04] who
[00:37:04] went
[00:37:04] to
[00:37:04] see
[00:37:05] this
[00:37:05] movie
[00:37:05] it
[00:37:06] grew
[00:37:06] on
[00:37:06] word
[00:37:07] of
[00:37:07] mouth
[00:37:07] pretty
[00:37:07] much
[00:37:08] alone
[00:37:08] and
[00:37:09] people
[00:37:09] loved
[00:37:09] it
[00:37:09] and
[00:37:10] it's
[00:37:10] like
[00:37:10] even
[00:37:11] to
[00:37:11] this
[00:37:11] day
[00:37:11] like
[00:37:12] 25
[00:37:12] years
[00:37:12] later
[00:37:13] I
[00:37:13] went
[00:37:13] to
[00:37:14] see
[00:37:14] it
[00:37:14] at
[00:37:14] the
[00:37:14] cinema
[00:37:15] this
[00:37:15] year
[00:37:15] for
[00:37:15] its
[00:37:15] 25th
[00:37:16] anniversary
[00:37:16] and
[00:37:18] it's
[00:37:19] so good
[00:37:19] it's
[00:37:20] amazing
[00:37:20] to watch
[00:37:21] on the
[00:37:21] big screen
[00:37:21] and
[00:37:22] you
[00:37:23] can
[00:37:23] pick
[00:37:24] at
[00:37:24] it
[00:37:24] it's
[00:37:25] one
[00:37:25] of
[00:37:25] those
[00:37:25] things
[00:37:26] yes
[00:37:26] it
[00:37:26] does
[00:37:26] look
[00:37:27] its
[00:37:40] that's
[00:37:41] kind
[00:37:41] the
[00:37:41] whole
[00:37:42] point
[00:37:42] of
[00:37:42] it
[00:37:42] it's
[00:37:43] set
[00:37:43] in
[00:37:43] the
[00:37:43] 20s
[00:37:43] it's
[00:37:44] it's
[00:37:44] got
[00:37:45] that
[00:37:45] pulp
[00:37:45] cinema
[00:37:45] feel
[00:37:46] of
[00:37:47] adventure
[00:37:48] romance
[00:37:49] all of
[00:37:49] that
[00:37:49] sort
[00:37:50] of
[00:37:50] thing
[00:37:50] I
[00:37:50] loved it
[00:37:51] I
[00:37:51] loved it
[00:37:51] honestly
[00:37:52] this movie
[00:37:53] is the
[00:37:53] greatest
[00:37:54] movie
[00:37:54] ever made
[00:37:54] and that
[00:37:55] is just
[00:37:55] a
[00:37:55] stone
[00:37:56] cold
[00:37:56] fact
[00:37:56] I
[00:38:10] think
[00:38:10] of
[00:38:11] it
[00:38:11] as
[00:38:11] a
[00:38:11] period
[00:38:11] drama
[00:38:12] no
[00:38:12] yeah
[00:38:13] you
[00:38:13] think
[00:38:13] of
[00:38:13] it
[00:38:14] as
[00:38:14] a
[00:38:14] campy
[00:38:15] kind
[00:38:15] of
[00:38:15] goofy
[00:38:16] romp
[00:38:17] a
[00:38:17] really
[00:38:17] fun
[00:38:18] thing
[00:38:18] to
[00:38:18] sit
[00:38:18] down
[00:38:19] and
[00:38:19] watch
[00:38:19] on
[00:38:19] a
[00:38:19] Sunday
[00:38:20] something
[00:38:21] that
[00:38:21] awakens
[00:38:22] things
[00:38:22] in
[00:38:23] you
[00:38:23] sexually
[00:38:23] that
[00:38:23] you
[00:38:24] never
[00:38:24] knew
[00:38:24] were
[00:38:24] there
[00:38:26] more
[00:38:27] and
[00:38:27] more
[00:38:27] every
[00:38:28] time
[00:38:28] you
[00:38:28] watch
[00:38:28] it
[00:38:28] hopefully
[00:38:29] yeah
[00:38:30] but
[00:38:30] a
[00:38:30] period
[00:38:31] drama
[00:38:31] like
[00:38:32] you
[00:38:32] would
[00:38:32] think
[00:38:33] that
[00:38:33] it
[00:38:33] would
[00:38:34] have
[00:38:34] some
[00:38:34] kind
[00:38:34] of
[00:38:35] real
[00:38:35] connection
[00:38:37] aesthetically
[00:38:38] or
[00:38:38] historically
[00:38:39] to
[00:38:39] ancient
[00:38:40] Egypt
[00:38:40] or
[00:38:40] the
[00:38:41] 20s
[00:38:41] turns
[00:38:42] out
[00:38:42] it
[00:38:42] does
[00:38:43] are
[00:38:44] you
[00:38:44] gonna
[00:38:44] tell
[00:38:44] us
[00:38:45] about
[00:38:45] it
[00:38:45] Alice
[00:38:45] I'm
[00:38:46] sorry
[00:38:46] just
[00:38:46] please
[00:38:46] bear
[00:38:47] with
[00:38:47] my
[00:38:47] awkwardness
[00:38:47] while
[00:38:48] I'm
[00:38:48] drinking
[00:38:48] a lot
[00:38:48] of
[00:38:49] water
[00:38:49] and
[00:38:49] also
[00:38:50] some
[00:38:50] beer
[00:38:50] because
[00:38:51] they
[00:38:51] made
[00:38:51] beer
[00:38:52] in
[00:38:52] Egypt
[00:38:52] we
[00:38:53] checked
[00:38:53] it's
[00:38:54] true
[00:38:55] history
[00:38:56] over
[00:38:57] yeah
[00:38:59] there's
[00:39:00] just
[00:39:00] so
[00:39:01] much
[00:39:01] that
[00:39:02] one
[00:39:03] could
[00:39:03] cover
[00:39:04] about
[00:39:05] ancient
[00:39:06] Egypt
[00:39:06] and
[00:39:07] mummies
[00:39:08] okay
[00:39:09] to
[00:39:09] give
[00:39:09] you
[00:39:10] some
[00:39:10] kind
[00:39:10] of
[00:39:10] historical
[00:39:11] context
[00:39:11] for
[00:39:11] this
[00:39:12] film
[00:39:12] so
[00:39:12] I
[00:39:12] tried
[00:39:13] to
[00:39:13] zoom
[00:39:13] in
[00:39:13] really
[00:39:14] close
[00:39:14] and
[00:39:15] just
[00:39:16] talk
[00:39:16] about
[00:39:16] things
[00:39:16] that
[00:39:17] are
[00:39:17] directly
[00:39:18] related
[00:39:19] to
[00:39:19] the
[00:39:19] film
[00:39:20] that
[00:39:20] we
[00:39:20] see
[00:39:20] in
[00:39:20] the
[00:39:20] film
[00:39:21] so
[00:39:22] I'm
[00:39:22] going
[00:39:22] to
[00:39:22] talk
[00:39:22] a
[00:39:35] which
[00:39:36] is
[00:39:36] a
[00:39:36] series
[00:39:37] of
[00:39:37] blog
[00:39:37] posts
[00:39:38] from
[00:39:38] the
[00:39:38] Egypt
[00:39:39] at
[00:39:39] Manchester
[00:39:39] Museum
[00:39:40] blog
[00:39:42] Manchester
[00:39:43] Museum
[00:39:43] it turns
[00:39:44] out
[00:39:44] they
[00:39:44] have
[00:39:45] some
[00:39:45] really
[00:39:45] good
[00:39:46] things
[00:39:46] to
[00:39:46] say
[00:39:46] about
[00:39:47] the
[00:39:47] mummy
[00:39:47] and
[00:39:48] particularly
[00:39:49] by
[00:39:49] an
[00:39:50] author
[00:39:50] called
[00:39:51] Matt
[00:39:51] Zafran
[00:39:52] who
[00:39:52] pointed
[00:39:53] out
[00:39:53] the
[00:39:53] fact
[00:39:54] that
[00:39:54] the
[00:39:54] mummy
[00:39:54] obviously
[00:39:55] fictionalizes
[00:39:56] a lot
[00:39:57] and we
[00:39:57] don't
[00:39:57] care
[00:39:58] because
[00:39:58] it's
[00:39:58] a
[00:39:59] romp
[00:39:59] and
[00:39:59] Brendan
[00:39:59] Frazier
[00:40:00] and
[00:40:00] Rachel
[00:40:01] Weiss
[00:40:01] but
[00:40:02] the
[00:40:02] film
[00:40:02] producers
[00:40:03] did
[00:40:04] actually
[00:40:05] employ
[00:40:05] an
[00:40:05] Egyptologist
[00:40:06] named
[00:40:07] Dr.
[00:40:07] Stuart
[00:40:08] Tyson
[00:40:08] Smith
[00:40:08] and
[00:40:09] it's
[00:40:09] really
[00:40:10] interesting
[00:40:10] to see
[00:40:11] what
[00:40:11] historical
[00:40:12] details
[00:40:12] they
[00:40:13] did
[00:40:13] decide
[00:40:14] to
[00:40:14] work
[00:40:14] in
[00:40:15] in
[00:40:15] the
[00:40:15] film
[00:40:15] in
[00:40:16] the
[00:40:16] props
[00:40:16] and
[00:40:16] all
[00:40:17] sorts
[00:40:17] of
[00:40:17] things
[00:40:17] so
[00:40:18] I'm
[00:40:18] going
[00:40:18] to
[00:40:18] talk
[00:40:18] a
[00:40:35] a
[00:40:35] lot
[00:40:35] which
[00:40:36] I'm
[00:40:36] not
[00:40:36] mad
[00:40:36] about
[00:40:36] then
[00:40:37] we
[00:40:37] have
[00:40:38] Seti
[00:40:38] the
[00:40:38] first
[00:40:39] second
[00:40:40] pharaoh
[00:40:40] of
[00:40:40] the
[00:40:40] 19th
[00:40:41] dynasty
[00:40:41] which
[00:40:42] is
[00:40:42] what
[00:40:43] they
[00:40:43] refer
[00:40:43] to
[00:40:43] him
[00:40:44] as
[00:40:44] fully
[00:40:44] in
[00:40:44] the
[00:40:44] film
[00:40:45] and
[00:40:45] then
[00:40:46] we
[00:40:46] have
[00:40:46] Imhotep
[00:40:46] our
[00:40:47] boy
[00:40:47] Imhotep
[00:40:49] Immi
[00:40:49] Immi
[00:40:50] so
[00:40:52] the
[00:40:52] opening
[00:40:53] of
[00:40:53] the
[00:40:53] movie
[00:40:53] takes
[00:40:53] us
[00:40:54] to
[00:40:54] 1290
[00:40:54] BC
[00:40:55] during
[00:40:56] the
[00:40:56] reign
[00:40:56] of
[00:40:57] quote
[00:40:57] Seti
[00:40:58] the
[00:40:58] first
[00:40:58] second
[00:40:59] pharaoh
[00:40:59] of
[00:40:59] the
[00:40:59] 19th
[00:41:00] dynasty
[00:41:00] and
[00:41:01] Seti
[00:41:02] the
[00:41:02] first
[00:41:02] was
[00:41:03] a
[00:41:03] real
[00:41:03] pharaoh
[00:41:04] and
[00:41:04] he
[00:41:04] was
[00:41:04] really
[00:41:05] the
[00:41:05] second
[00:41:05] of
[00:41:06] the
[00:41:06] 19th
[00:41:07] dynasty
[00:41:07] he
[00:41:08] was
[00:41:08] the
[00:41:08] son
[00:41:09] of
[00:41:09] Ramses
[00:41:09] the
[00:41:10] first
[00:41:10] and
[00:41:11] the
[00:41:11] father
[00:41:12] of
[00:41:12] Ramses
[00:41:12] the
[00:41:13] second
[00:41:13] I
[00:41:14] don't
[00:41:14] know
[00:41:14] how
[00:41:14] many
[00:41:14] Ramses
[00:41:15] there
[00:41:15] were
[00:41:16] I
[00:41:16] know
[00:41:16] some
[00:41:17] of
[00:41:17] them
[00:41:17] are
[00:41:18] pretty
[00:41:18] famous
[00:41:18] and
[00:41:19] that
[00:41:20] is
[00:41:20] my
[00:41:20] level
[00:41:21] of
[00:41:21] Egyptological
[00:41:22] knowledge
[00:41:23] even
[00:41:24] though
[00:41:24] I
[00:41:25] did
[00:41:25] go
[00:41:25] through
[00:41:25] as
[00:41:26] a
[00:41:26] child
[00:41:26] an
[00:41:27] ancient
[00:41:27] Egypt
[00:41:28] phase
[00:41:28] did
[00:41:28] you
[00:41:28] guys
[00:41:29] oh
[00:41:29] yeah
[00:41:29] oh
[00:41:30] yeah
[00:41:30] of
[00:41:30] course
[00:41:31] Ramses
[00:41:32] the
[00:41:32] second
[00:41:32] was
[00:41:32] the
[00:41:32] big
[00:41:33] one
[00:41:33] right
[00:41:33] I
[00:41:34] thought
[00:41:34] maybe
[00:41:34] it
[00:41:34] was
[00:41:35] Ramses
[00:41:35] the
[00:41:35] third
[00:41:35] but
[00:41:35] I
[00:41:36] don't
[00:41:36] remember
[00:41:36] they
[00:41:39] get
[00:41:39] around
[00:41:40] yeah
[00:41:41] they
[00:41:42] did
[00:41:42] stuff
[00:41:42] well
[00:41:42] Seti
[00:41:43] the
[00:41:43] first
[00:41:44] did
[00:41:44] stuff
[00:41:44] too
[00:41:44] it
[00:41:45] turns
[00:41:45] out
[00:41:45] that
[00:41:45] Ramses
[00:41:46] the
[00:41:46] first
[00:41:47] he
[00:41:47] was
[00:41:47] a
[00:41:49] really
[00:41:52] tough
[00:41:53] warrior
[00:41:54] and
[00:41:54] a
[00:41:54] really
[00:41:54] good
[00:41:54] leader
[00:41:55] and
[00:41:55] he
[00:41:55] got
[00:41:56] back
[00:41:56] lands
[00:41:57] that
[00:41:57] Egypt
[00:41:57] had
[00:41:57] lost
[00:41:58] and
[00:41:59] he
[00:42:00] fought
[00:42:00] people
[00:42:00] and
[00:42:01] then
[00:42:01] Ramses
[00:42:02] the
[00:42:02] second
[00:42:02] I
[00:42:02] think
[00:42:03] he
[00:42:03] was
[00:42:03] also
[00:42:04] sound
[00:42:05] maybe
[00:42:05] he
[00:42:05] was
[00:42:05] famous
[00:42:06] again
[00:42:07] I
[00:42:07] could
[00:42:08] not
[00:42:08] get
[00:42:08] very
[00:42:08] deep
[00:42:09] into
[00:42:10] the
[00:42:10] history
[00:42:10] of
[00:42:10] ancient
[00:42:11] Egypt
[00:42:12] but
[00:42:13] I
[00:42:13] still
[00:42:13] think
[00:42:13] this
[00:42:14] is
[00:42:14] worthwhile
[00:42:15] the
[00:42:16] stuff
[00:42:16] that
[00:42:16] connects
[00:42:17] specifically
[00:42:17] to
[00:42:17] the
[00:42:17] mummy
[00:42:18] so
[00:42:18] Seti
[00:42:19] the
[00:42:19] first
[00:42:19] was
[00:42:20] a
[00:42:21] real
[00:42:21] pharaoh
[00:42:21] Seti
[00:42:22] the
[00:42:22] first
[00:42:22] was
[00:42:23] also
[00:42:23] made
[00:42:24] pharaoh
[00:42:24] in
[00:42:25] the
[00:42:25] year
[00:42:25] 1290
[00:42:26] so
[00:42:26] that's
[00:42:27] accurate
[00:42:27] that's
[00:42:28] not
[00:42:28] the
[00:42:28] year
[00:42:28] he
[00:42:28] died
[00:42:29] and
[00:42:29] we
[00:42:29] have
[00:42:29] no
[00:42:29] evidence
[00:42:30] that
[00:42:30] he
[00:42:31] died
[00:42:31] from
[00:42:32] violence
[00:42:32] he
[00:42:33] probably
[00:42:34] died
[00:42:34] from
[00:42:35] a
[00:42:35] toothache
[00:42:36] or
[00:42:36] something
[00:42:37] like
[00:42:37] that
[00:42:39] UTI
[00:42:39] you know
[00:42:42] scarabite
[00:42:43] yeah
[00:42:43] definitely
[00:42:44] infected
[00:42:45] scarabite
[00:42:46] and the
[00:42:46] other
[00:42:47] historical
[00:42:47] character
[00:42:48] that we
[00:42:48] meet
[00:42:49] is of
[00:42:49] course
[00:42:49] Imhotep
[00:42:50] and he
[00:42:51] was born
[00:42:51] sometime
[00:42:52] between
[00:42:52] 2667
[00:42:54] and 2648
[00:42:56] BCE
[00:42:57] so
[00:42:58] quite a ways
[00:42:59] before
[00:43:00] Seti
[00:43:00] and he
[00:43:01] worked for
[00:43:02] King
[00:43:02] Djoser
[00:43:03] who reigned
[00:43:04] from
[00:43:05] 2630
[00:43:06] to 2611
[00:43:07] BCE
[00:43:08] which is
[00:43:09] the third
[00:43:09] dynasty
[00:43:10] and that's
[00:43:10] when the
[00:43:11] capital of
[00:43:12] Egypt was
[00:43:12] in Memphis
[00:43:13] and
[00:43:13] Imhotep
[00:43:14] if you
[00:43:15] know
[00:43:15] anything
[00:43:15] about
[00:43:16] Egyptian
[00:43:16] history
[00:43:16] or
[00:43:17] art
[00:43:17] history
[00:43:17] Imhotep
[00:43:18] is most
[00:43:18] commonly
[00:43:19] remembered
[00:43:19] as the
[00:43:20] architect
[00:43:20] of the
[00:43:21] step
[00:43:21] pyramid
[00:43:22] you know
[00:43:23] that one
[00:43:23] looks like
[00:43:24] steps
[00:43:25] yeah
[00:43:26] yeah
[00:43:27] you know
[00:43:27] it
[00:43:28] so
[00:43:29] Imhotep's
[00:43:30] really an
[00:43:30] alien from
[00:43:31] outer space
[00:43:31] exactly
[00:43:32] yeah
[00:43:33] we all
[00:43:33] know
[00:43:33] that the
[00:43:34] aliens
[00:43:34] yes
[00:43:36] we've
[00:43:38] got more
[00:43:38] proof of
[00:43:39] that coming
[00:43:39] up
[00:43:39] so
[00:43:40] not
[00:43:40] only
[00:43:40] the
[00:43:41] step
[00:43:41] pyramid
[00:43:41] but
[00:43:41] there's
[00:43:42] a whole
[00:43:42] necropolis
[00:43:43] that was
[00:43:44] kind of
[00:43:44] like
[00:43:44] maybe the
[00:43:45] inspiration
[00:43:45] for
[00:43:46] Hamanopja
[00:43:46] a city
[00:43:48] of the
[00:43:48] dead
[00:43:48] basically
[00:43:49] around
[00:43:50] the
[00:43:50] step
[00:43:50] pyramid
[00:43:51] which is
[00:43:52] called
[00:43:53] Saqqara
[00:43:53] and this
[00:43:54] is considered
[00:43:55] the first
[00:43:55] Egyptian
[00:43:56] pyramid
[00:43:57] ever
[00:43:57] and
[00:43:58] according
[00:43:59] to one
[00:43:59] source
[00:43:59] I read
[00:44:00] the first
[00:44:01] known
[00:44:01] stone
[00:44:02] structure
[00:44:03] ever
[00:44:03] created
[00:44:03] I'm not
[00:44:04] sure how
[00:44:05] they're
[00:44:05] classifying
[00:44:05] a stone
[00:44:06] structure
[00:44:06] and
[00:44:07] nobody
[00:44:08] has
[00:44:08] rediscovered
[00:44:09] Imhotep's
[00:44:09] tomb
[00:44:10] which
[00:44:11] kind of
[00:44:11] adds to
[00:44:12] the mystery
[00:44:12] around him
[00:44:13] he's
[00:44:15] lost
[00:44:15] somewhere
[00:44:17] but we
[00:44:18] know quite a lot
[00:44:18] about him
[00:44:19] from his boss
[00:44:21] King
[00:44:21] Djoser's tomb
[00:44:22] and the fact
[00:44:24] that he
[00:44:24] Imhotep
[00:44:25] became so
[00:44:26] famous
[00:44:27] after his
[00:44:27] death
[00:44:28] like really
[00:44:29] quickly
[00:44:29] by the fourth
[00:44:30] dynasty
[00:44:31] so remember
[00:44:32] he was in
[00:44:32] the third
[00:44:33] dynasty
[00:44:33] by the fourth
[00:44:34] dynasty
[00:44:35] about a hundred
[00:44:36] years after
[00:44:36] his death
[00:44:37] Imhotep's
[00:44:38] already
[00:44:39] started to
[00:44:39] be venerated
[00:44:40] as a
[00:44:41] demigod
[00:44:41] and not
[00:44:42] because he
[00:44:43] was an
[00:44:43] amazing
[00:44:43] architect
[00:44:44] although
[00:44:45] obviously
[00:44:45] he was
[00:44:46] because
[00:44:46] steps
[00:44:48] but because
[00:44:49] of his
[00:44:50] skills
[00:44:50] as a
[00:44:51] scribe
[00:44:51] and a
[00:44:52] physician
[00:44:53] and a
[00:44:54] seer
[00:44:55] so even
[00:44:56] when he
[00:44:56] was alive
[00:44:57] people
[00:44:57] really revered
[00:44:58] him because
[00:44:59] he was
[00:44:59] literate
[00:45:00] and he
[00:45:00] could
[00:45:00] make
[00:45:01] medicines
[00:45:02] so like
[00:45:03] just think
[00:45:03] about it
[00:45:04] if you're
[00:45:04] an architect
[00:45:04] today
[00:45:05] like if
[00:45:07] you're an
[00:45:07] architect
[00:45:07] who can
[00:45:08] read and
[00:45:08] write
[00:45:09] and you
[00:45:09] know about
[00:45:10] germ theory
[00:45:11] and
[00:45:12] and your
[00:45:12] self-esteem
[00:45:13] isn't very
[00:45:13] good
[00:45:14] just think
[00:45:15] about
[00:45:15] how
[00:45:16] like if
[00:45:17] you just
[00:45:17] got
[00:45:17] transported
[00:45:18] back in
[00:45:18] time
[00:45:19] you'd be
[00:45:19] a demigod
[00:45:21] you're
[00:45:21] amazing
[00:45:23] Imhotep
[00:45:23] was like
[00:45:24] written
[00:45:25] about
[00:45:25] he was
[00:45:26] included
[00:45:27] in songs
[00:45:27] and mentioned
[00:45:28] on tombs
[00:45:29] and he
[00:45:30] became
[00:45:30] a patron
[00:45:31] of scribes
[00:45:32] and like
[00:45:33] people
[00:45:33] prayed to
[00:45:34] him
[00:45:34] and offered
[00:45:35] stuff to
[00:45:36] his
[00:45:36] ka
[00:45:37] which is
[00:45:38] the
[00:45:38] ancient
[00:45:39] egyptian
[00:45:40] version of
[00:45:40] a soul
[00:45:42] and eventually
[00:45:43] you know
[00:45:44] down the
[00:45:45] line after
[00:45:45] his death
[00:45:46] mythically
[00:45:47] he was
[00:45:48] given
[00:45:49] godparents
[00:45:49] and I
[00:45:50] don't mean
[00:45:50] godparents
[00:45:51] like how
[00:45:51] Kim is
[00:45:52] the godmother
[00:45:53] of my
[00:45:53] children
[00:45:53] but they
[00:45:54] assigned him
[00:45:55] to be
[00:45:55] the son
[00:45:56] of this
[00:45:57] goddess
[00:45:57] and this
[00:45:58] god
[00:45:59] what are
[00:46:00] you saying
[00:46:00] I'm not
[00:46:01] a goddess
[00:46:01] I'm sure
[00:46:02] to them
[00:46:02] you are
[00:46:07] and a
[00:46:08] cult
[00:46:09] formed
[00:46:09] around
[00:46:10] him
[00:46:10] with his
[00:46:10] own
[00:46:11] brand
[00:46:11] of
[00:46:12] priests
[00:46:12] in
[00:46:12] Memphis
[00:46:12] so we
[00:46:13] know
[00:46:13] this
[00:46:14] as like
[00:46:14] the
[00:46:14] kind
[00:46:15] of
[00:46:15] religious
[00:46:15] historical
[00:46:16] version
[00:46:16] of the
[00:46:17] word
[00:46:17] cult
[00:46:17] rather than
[00:46:18] like the
[00:46:18] modern day
[00:46:19] version
[00:46:19] of a
[00:46:19] cult
[00:46:20] where
[00:46:20] everyone
[00:46:20] like gets
[00:46:21] together
[00:46:21] like in
[00:46:22] a compound
[00:46:23] and does
[00:46:23] weird
[00:46:23] sex stuff
[00:46:24] yeah
[00:46:25] and so
[00:46:27] this is
[00:46:27] more of
[00:46:28] like the
[00:46:29] religious
[00:46:29] following
[00:46:30] that kind
[00:46:31] of grows
[00:46:32] out of a
[00:46:32] particular
[00:46:33] figure
[00:46:33] you still
[00:46:33] see this
[00:46:34] kind of
[00:46:34] thing
[00:46:34] in
[00:46:35] catholicism
[00:46:35] with saints
[00:46:36] and there
[00:46:37] are marian
[00:46:37] cults
[00:46:38] that kind
[00:46:38] of thing
[00:46:38] it's totally
[00:46:39] chill
[00:46:40] it's like
[00:46:40] a chill
[00:46:40] cult
[00:46:41] Imhotep's
[00:46:42] cultists
[00:46:42] would make
[00:46:43] pilgrimages
[00:46:43] to
[00:46:44] Sakat
[00:46:44] in Memphis
[00:46:45] the
[00:46:45] step
[00:46:46] pyramid
[00:46:46] and ask
[00:46:47] to be
[00:46:48] cured
[00:46:48] of health
[00:46:49] problems
[00:46:49] so that's
[00:46:50] the same
[00:46:50] kind of
[00:46:51] thing
[00:46:51] that we
[00:46:51] do
[00:46:51] for like
[00:46:51] people
[00:46:52] going
[00:46:52] making
[00:46:53] trips
[00:46:53] to
[00:46:54] lords
[00:46:54] yeah
[00:46:55] by the
[00:46:56] Ptolemaic
[00:46:57] period
[00:46:57] when the
[00:46:58] Greeks
[00:46:58] conquered
[00:46:59] Egypt
[00:46:59] around
[00:47:00] 330
[00:47:01] BCE
[00:47:02] Imhotep
[00:47:03] had by
[00:47:04] this time
[00:47:04] six festivals
[00:47:06] in his
[00:47:06] honor
[00:47:07] throughout
[00:47:07] the year
[00:47:08] six festivals
[00:47:09] a year
[00:47:10] so it's like
[00:47:11] every two
[00:47:11] months
[00:47:11] yeah
[00:47:11] just for
[00:47:12] Imhotep
[00:47:13] they all
[00:47:13] had like
[00:47:14] feasting
[00:47:14] and partying
[00:47:16] and dancing
[00:47:16] and so
[00:47:18] Imhotep
[00:47:18] himself
[00:47:19] as a
[00:47:20] figure
[00:47:21] like in
[00:47:21] statues
[00:47:22] and drawings
[00:47:23] and stuff
[00:47:24] he's depicted
[00:47:25] as bald
[00:47:26] or wearing
[00:47:28] a cap
[00:47:29] which looks
[00:47:29] a little
[00:47:30] bit like
[00:47:30] maybe
[00:47:30] something
[00:47:31] an alien
[00:47:32] would wear
[00:47:35] and he's
[00:47:36] sitting
[00:47:37] with a
[00:47:38] scroll
[00:47:38] on his
[00:47:38] lap
[00:47:39] so it
[00:47:39] all sounds
[00:47:40] extremely
[00:47:41] chill
[00:47:41] very nerdy
[00:47:42] just like
[00:47:43] a pragmatic
[00:47:44] cat
[00:47:45] sitting down
[00:47:47] it's giving
[00:47:48] me
[00:47:48] I'm devoted
[00:47:50] to my
[00:47:50] work
[00:47:50] and I
[00:47:51] never
[00:47:51] actually
[00:47:51] touched
[00:47:52] a butt
[00:47:56] so I
[00:47:57] think he
[00:47:57] got like
[00:47:58] quite a
[00:47:59] sexy glow
[00:47:59] up in
[00:48:00] the mummy
[00:48:02] so the
[00:48:02] cult of
[00:48:03] Imhotep
[00:48:03] historically
[00:48:04] it faded
[00:48:05] away with
[00:48:05] the Arab
[00:48:06] conquest of
[00:48:07] North Africa
[00:48:07] but a lot
[00:48:08] of his
[00:48:09] writings
[00:48:09] particularly
[00:48:10] his medical
[00:48:11] writings
[00:48:11] survived
[00:48:12] and when
[00:48:13] ancient
[00:48:13] Egyptian
[00:48:13] culture
[00:48:14] was like
[00:48:16] rediscovered
[00:48:17] in the
[00:48:18] 19th century
[00:48:19] by Europeans
[00:48:20] it sparked
[00:48:22] this renewed
[00:48:22] interest
[00:48:23] in him
[00:48:23] so obviously
[00:48:25] logically
[00:48:25] making him
[00:48:26] a hottie
[00:48:27] in 1999
[00:48:28] was the
[00:48:29] next step
[00:48:29] so just
[00:48:30] other little
[00:48:31] bits
[00:48:31] about
[00:48:32] ancient
[00:48:32] Egypt
[00:48:33] as it
[00:48:33] relates
[00:48:33] to the
[00:48:34] mummy
[00:48:34] there is
[00:48:36] really a
[00:48:41] that the
[00:48:42] book of
[00:48:43] the dead
[00:48:43] is basically
[00:48:43] a whole
[00:48:44] big set
[00:48:45] of instructions
[00:48:46] that were
[00:48:47] written on
[00:48:48] the inside
[00:48:49] of tombs
[00:48:49] or on
[00:48:50] the inside
[00:48:50] of sarcophagi
[00:48:51] or sometimes
[00:48:52] on really
[00:48:52] really long
[00:48:53] scrolls
[00:48:54] that were
[00:48:55] meant just
[00:48:55] for the
[00:48:56] dead
[00:48:56] after they
[00:48:57] had been
[00:48:58] mummified
[00:48:58] to help
[00:48:59] them through
[00:49:00] the journey
[00:49:01] into the
[00:49:02] afterlife
[00:49:02] so that
[00:49:03] they don't
[00:49:03] get lost
[00:49:04] it's like
[00:49:04] a map
[00:49:05] yeah
[00:49:07] so if you
[00:49:08] read it
[00:49:08] out loud
[00:49:09] probably nothing
[00:49:10] would happen
[00:49:11] but I
[00:49:13] wouldn't risk
[00:49:13] it
[00:49:13] yeah
[00:49:14] well no
[00:49:15] harm ever
[00:49:16] came from
[00:49:16] reading a
[00:49:16] book
[00:49:17] did it
[00:49:17] so
[00:49:19] this is
[00:49:20] why I
[00:49:21] don't
[00:49:21] read
[00:49:24] I on
[00:49:25] the other
[00:49:25] hand
[00:49:25] love reading
[00:49:26] I loved
[00:49:27] absolutely
[00:49:28] loved a
[00:49:29] bit where
[00:49:29] she goes
[00:49:31] I'm a
[00:49:31] librarian
[00:49:32] I was like
[00:49:33] yeah you
[00:49:33] go girl
[00:49:34] you are
[00:49:35] a librarian
[00:49:36] you are
[00:49:37] a 1920s
[00:49:38] librarian
[00:49:39] and you
[00:49:40] are tipsy
[00:49:41] and you
[00:49:41] should kiss
[00:49:42] that Brendan
[00:49:42] Fraser
[00:49:43] did you
[00:49:43] see him
[00:49:44] in Encino
[00:49:45] man
[00:49:46] that's
[00:49:47] where I
[00:49:47] fell in
[00:49:48] love with
[00:49:48] Brendan
[00:49:48] Fraser
[00:49:50] so the
[00:49:51] Magi
[00:49:52] as well
[00:49:52] were a bit
[00:49:54] real
[00:49:54] they were
[00:49:55] a real
[00:49:55] tribe
[00:49:56] that were
[00:49:56] living in
[00:49:57] the desert
[00:49:57] from Egypt
[00:49:58] all the way
[00:49:59] to the Red
[00:49:59] Sea
[00:49:59] and archaeologists
[00:50:01] traced them
[00:50:01] back as
[00:50:02] far as
[00:50:03] 2400 BC
[00:50:04] so still
[00:50:05] after Imhotep
[00:50:06] but very
[00:50:07] very old
[00:50:08] and they
[00:50:09] were known
[00:50:09] for being
[00:50:10] fighters
[00:50:10] and warriors
[00:50:11] and mercenaries
[00:50:12] and hot
[00:50:14] and hot
[00:50:14] all of them
[00:50:15] 201
[00:50:17] man woman
[00:50:17] and child
[00:50:18] old and young
[00:50:19] hot
[00:50:19] that's fact
[00:50:20] another really
[00:50:22] interesting detail
[00:50:23] so this movie
[00:50:24] apparently is
[00:50:25] for how
[00:50:26] outlandish it
[00:50:27] is and how
[00:50:28] fun it is
[00:50:29] and how much
[00:50:29] we don't really
[00:50:30] care about
[00:50:30] the history
[00:50:31] in it
[00:50:31] necessarily
[00:50:32] there are
[00:50:33] these little
[00:50:33] details
[00:50:34] that are
[00:50:35] apparently
[00:50:35] historically
[00:50:36] accurate
[00:50:37] thanks to
[00:50:38] our
[00:50:38] Egyptologist
[00:50:39] one of them
[00:50:41] is Imhotep's
[00:50:42] mummy wrappings
[00:50:43] like when he's
[00:50:44] getting mummified
[00:50:45] alive in those
[00:50:46] first scenes
[00:50:46] and I'll like
[00:50:48] quote from
[00:50:49] the article
[00:50:50] by Matt
[00:50:51] Zafron
[00:50:51] so the
[00:50:53] wrappings
[00:50:53] have a
[00:50:54] herringbone
[00:50:55] weave pattern
[00:50:56] on the torso
[00:50:57] and strips
[00:50:58] of outer
[00:50:58] wrapping
[00:50:59] encircling
[00:51:00] the body
[00:51:02] the traditional
[00:51:02] figure eight
[00:51:03] style
[00:51:05] you don't
[00:51:06] want no
[00:51:07] houndstooth
[00:51:07] on your
[00:51:08] mummy wrappings
[00:51:09] I love it
[00:51:10] when movies
[00:51:11] have things
[00:51:12] like this
[00:51:12] little snippets
[00:51:14] of really
[00:51:15] historically
[00:51:16] accurate
[00:51:17] things
[00:51:17] the props
[00:51:17] department
[00:51:18] just got
[00:51:18] so into
[00:51:19] it
[00:51:20] they're like
[00:51:20] yes
[00:51:21] we have
[00:51:21] to
[00:51:21] have another
[00:51:22] it's basically
[00:51:22] just like
[00:51:23] you know
[00:51:23] that they've
[00:51:24] done their
[00:51:24] research
[00:51:25] it's not
[00:51:26] just
[00:51:26] oh let's
[00:51:27] just depict
[00:51:27] it however
[00:51:28] we want
[00:51:29] but then
[00:51:30] it's like
[00:51:30] Arnold
[00:51:31] Vosloo
[00:51:31] really did
[00:51:32] get wrapped
[00:51:33] up
[00:51:33] like a mummy
[00:51:34] and can you
[00:51:35] imagine how
[00:51:35] terrifying
[00:51:37] it would be
[00:51:38] to have
[00:51:38] like them
[00:51:39] putting bandages
[00:51:39] over your
[00:51:40] face
[00:51:40] oh no
[00:51:42] no
[00:51:42] and he did
[00:51:43] that for real
[00:51:44] so
[00:51:44] did he really
[00:51:45] yeah
[00:51:46] because you know
[00:51:47] that herringbone
[00:51:48] pattern did not
[00:51:49] take a short
[00:51:50] amount of time
[00:51:51] mm-hmm
[00:51:52] it looks so
[00:51:53] tight
[00:51:54] yeah
[00:51:55] well
[00:51:55] there's quite
[00:51:56] there's quite a
[00:51:57] famous story
[00:51:58] about this movie
[00:51:58] that Brendan
[00:51:59] Fraser almost
[00:52:00] died
[00:52:00] what
[00:52:01] what
[00:52:02] so you know
[00:52:03] the scene
[00:52:04] with Evie and
[00:52:05] Jonathan go
[00:52:06] to the prison
[00:52:07] and they're
[00:52:08] obviously she's
[00:52:09] bartering with
[00:52:09] the warden
[00:52:10] and in the
[00:52:10] background
[00:52:11] Rick is being
[00:52:12] hanged
[00:52:13] yeah
[00:52:13] and
[00:52:14] basically
[00:52:15] Brendan Fraser
[00:52:16] was there
[00:52:17] with like the
[00:52:17] noose around
[00:52:18] his neck
[00:52:18] and he
[00:52:19] he did drop
[00:52:20] and
[00:52:21] what
[00:52:22] he basically
[00:52:24] almost hanged
[00:52:24] himself
[00:52:25] oh my god
[00:52:26] for this movie
[00:52:28] and
[00:52:28] yeah
[00:52:29] that
[00:52:29] he
[00:52:30] was
[00:52:31] really
[00:52:32] really
[00:52:33] close to
[00:52:34] actually
[00:52:34] physically
[00:52:34] dying
[00:52:35] on this
[00:52:36] movie
[00:52:36] oh my
[00:52:36] goodness
[00:52:37] because he
[00:52:38] was he did
[00:52:38] the stunt
[00:52:39] for real
[00:52:39] and
[00:52:40] yeah
[00:52:41] that was a
[00:52:41] long
[00:52:42] hanging
[00:52:42] scene
[00:52:43] yeah
[00:52:43] the note
[00:52:44] that I wrote
[00:52:45] there was like
[00:52:46] wait hang on
[00:52:46] a sec
[00:52:46] no one can
[00:52:47] can be
[00:52:48] hanging
[00:52:48] you would
[00:52:49] have gotten
[00:52:50] brain damage
[00:52:51] right
[00:52:51] like for real
[00:52:52] if you were
[00:52:53] really
[00:52:53] hanging
[00:52:54] that bartering
[00:52:54] could get
[00:52:55] at least
[00:52:55] 60 seconds
[00:52:56] so I think
[00:52:57] what it was
[00:52:58] because obviously
[00:52:58] if an actor
[00:53:00] is doing a stunt
[00:53:00] like that
[00:53:01] they normally
[00:53:01] have like
[00:53:02] a
[00:53:03] like a harness
[00:53:04] or something
[00:53:05] but I think
[00:53:07] what happened
[00:53:07] was I think
[00:53:08] the harness
[00:53:08] broke
[00:53:09] and they
[00:53:10] oh my god
[00:53:11] and they just
[00:53:11] thought he was
[00:53:12] being like
[00:53:13] a really good
[00:53:13] actor
[00:53:13] so
[00:53:14] so he was
[00:53:15] basically like
[00:53:16] looking like
[00:53:17] he was
[00:53:18] dying
[00:53:19] and they
[00:53:20] were like
[00:53:20] oh Brendan
[00:53:21] you're doing
[00:53:21] great
[00:53:21] like this
[00:53:22] is a great
[00:53:22] performance
[00:53:23] oh my
[00:53:24] and he
[00:53:24] continued acting
[00:53:25] after that
[00:53:25] I'll be like
[00:53:26] fuck
[00:53:26] yeah
[00:53:27] I think
[00:53:28] they only
[00:53:29] realized when
[00:53:29] he was actually
[00:53:30] turning blue
[00:53:32] that the
[00:53:33] the harness
[00:53:34] had failed
[00:53:35] because yeah
[00:53:36] how you're
[00:53:36] hanging there
[00:53:37] like how do
[00:53:37] you signal
[00:53:38] to someone
[00:53:38] that your
[00:53:39] harness
[00:53:39] is broken
[00:53:40] yeah
[00:53:41] so yeah
[00:53:41] he nearly
[00:53:42] died
[00:53:42] so they
[00:53:43] have intimacy
[00:53:44] coordinators
[00:53:45] these days
[00:53:46] on films
[00:53:46] they really
[00:53:48] should have
[00:53:48] had something
[00:53:48] like a
[00:53:49] hanging
[00:53:49] coordinator
[00:53:50] yeah
[00:53:51] this is why
[00:53:52] we watch
[00:53:52] period dramas
[00:53:53] sometimes
[00:53:53] it's like
[00:53:54] I feel like
[00:53:54] the stakes
[00:53:55] are low
[00:53:55] yeah
[00:53:56] you have to
[00:53:57] be prepared
[00:53:57] if you're
[00:53:58] going in
[00:53:58] to a high
[00:53:59] stakes period
[00:54:00] drama
[00:54:01] it's a
[00:54:02] different
[00:54:02] experience
[00:54:02] yeah
[00:54:03] there's
[00:54:03] there's
[00:54:04] not
[00:54:04] there's
[00:54:04] not much
[00:54:05] kind of
[00:54:06] you know
[00:54:06] high stakes
[00:54:07] and adrenaline
[00:54:07] when someone's
[00:54:09] sitting in a
[00:54:09] parlour
[00:54:10] doing some
[00:54:11] embroidery
[00:54:12] drinking some
[00:54:13] tea
[00:54:13] and waiting
[00:54:14] for the
[00:54:15] dashing young
[00:54:15] eligible bachelor
[00:54:16] to turn up
[00:54:17] for a turn
[00:54:19] around the
[00:54:20] room
[00:54:20] you know
[00:54:21] although
[00:54:22] turning around
[00:54:23] the room
[00:54:23] that can be
[00:54:24] dangerous
[00:54:25] you could trip
[00:54:26] exactly
[00:54:26] you could trip
[00:54:26] on your long
[00:54:28] long tray
[00:54:29] yeah
[00:54:29] you could
[00:54:30] bang into
[00:54:30] something
[00:54:31] turning around
[00:54:32] the room
[00:54:32] is I think
[00:54:32] a lot more
[00:54:33] dangerous
[00:54:33] than people
[00:54:33] think
[00:54:34] yeah
[00:54:35] I mean
[00:54:35] the tea
[00:54:36] could be
[00:54:36] really
[00:54:36] really
[00:54:36] scurping
[00:54:36] of course
[00:54:37] yeah
[00:54:37] you could
[00:54:38] scold yourself
[00:54:38] on the
[00:54:38] tea
[00:54:39] you could
[00:54:39] prick
[00:54:40] yourself
[00:54:40] with the
[00:54:41] embroidery
[00:54:41] needle
[00:54:42] yep
[00:54:42] all sorts
[00:54:43] you guys
[00:54:44] respect
[00:54:45] I have to
[00:54:45] get back
[00:54:46] to this
[00:54:46] sorry
[00:54:47] so much
[00:54:48] okay
[00:54:49] so one
[00:54:51] thing that
[00:54:51] they did not
[00:54:52] give a fuck
[00:54:53] about the
[00:54:53] details of
[00:54:54] was the
[00:54:55] ten plagues
[00:54:56] that whole
[00:54:57] thing
[00:54:58] so for
[00:54:59] those of
[00:55:00] those of
[00:55:00] you who
[00:55:00] can't
[00:55:01] you know
[00:55:01] rattle
[00:55:02] them off
[00:55:02] the top
[00:55:02] of your
[00:55:03] head
[00:55:03] you got
[00:55:04] ten of
[00:55:04] them
[00:55:05] famously
[00:55:05] ten
[00:55:05] first one
[00:55:07] water to
[00:55:07] blood
[00:55:07] then frogs
[00:55:10] gnats
[00:55:10] flies
[00:55:11] then all
[00:55:12] your livestock
[00:55:13] dies
[00:55:14] the sixth
[00:55:15] one is
[00:55:16] boils
[00:55:16] but only
[00:55:17] for the
[00:55:17] Egyptians
[00:55:17] you got
[00:55:19] hail
[00:55:19] you got
[00:55:20] locusts
[00:55:21] then you got
[00:55:22] three days of
[00:55:23] darkness
[00:55:23] and then
[00:55:25] the tenth
[00:55:25] one
[00:55:26] all of your
[00:55:27] firstborn die
[00:55:27] yeah
[00:55:28] that what I remember
[00:55:29] yeah
[00:55:30] so in the
[00:55:31] film
[00:55:32] it's a bit
[00:55:33] more higgledy
[00:55:34] piggledy than
[00:55:35] that
[00:55:36] in a few ways
[00:55:37] so you only
[00:55:37] get
[00:55:38] you get
[00:55:39] you get
[00:55:39] some of them
[00:55:40] they're not
[00:55:41] quite in order
[00:55:42] first we see
[00:55:43] locusts
[00:55:43] they also
[00:55:44] don't seem
[00:55:45] to affect
[00:55:45] everybody
[00:55:46] equally
[00:55:46] because
[00:55:47] for example
[00:55:48] the first time
[00:55:49] we see the
[00:55:49] locusts
[00:55:49] they seem
[00:55:50] to like
[00:55:50] swarm
[00:55:51] and like
[00:55:52] eat
[00:55:52] two
[00:55:53] Egyptian
[00:55:53] dudes
[00:55:54] but then
[00:55:55] they also
[00:55:56] land on
[00:55:57] this other
[00:55:58] guy
[00:55:59] who is
[00:56:00] there
[00:56:00] leading the
[00:56:01] American
[00:56:01] team
[00:56:02] of
[00:56:03] explorers
[00:56:04] and they're
[00:56:04] just kind
[00:56:05] of like
[00:56:05] chilling
[00:56:05] all over
[00:56:06] his body
[00:56:06] and he's
[00:56:07] fine
[00:56:07] yeah
[00:56:08] because that's
[00:56:08] when he says
[00:56:09] look what
[00:56:09] we've done
[00:56:10] yeah
[00:56:11] well he's
[00:56:12] clutching this
[00:56:13] book that
[00:56:14] like he's
[00:56:14] not supposed
[00:56:15] to have
[00:56:15] we see
[00:56:17] water turned
[00:56:18] into blood
[00:56:18] because it
[00:56:19] ruins everybody's
[00:56:20] vodka
[00:56:21] and it doesn't
[00:56:22] even look like
[00:56:23] blood
[00:56:23] it just looks
[00:56:24] like juice
[00:56:25] cranberry
[00:56:25] yeah
[00:56:26] yeah
[00:56:27] I mean
[00:56:28] to be fair
[00:56:28] there's like
[00:56:28] a volumetric
[00:56:29] kind of thing
[00:56:30] like I don't
[00:56:31] know how much
[00:56:31] of their drink
[00:56:32] was actually
[00:56:32] water
[00:56:33] water
[00:56:34] yeah
[00:56:34] maybe it was
[00:56:35] just the ice
[00:56:36] bit that turned
[00:56:37] into blood
[00:56:37] yeah
[00:56:37] maybe
[00:56:38] yeah
[00:56:38] yeah
[00:56:39] then we get
[00:56:40] hail
[00:56:40] but it's like
[00:56:41] really fiery
[00:56:42] hail
[00:56:43] that lasts
[00:56:44] for a little
[00:56:44] while
[00:56:45] we get
[00:56:45] some kind
[00:56:46] of darkness
[00:56:47] yeah
[00:56:47] flies I wasn't
[00:56:49] sure about
[00:56:50] because there
[00:56:50] is a part
[00:56:51] where
[00:56:52] Imhotep
[00:56:52] opens his mouth
[00:56:54] for a ride
[00:56:55] and a bunch
[00:56:55] of flies
[00:56:56] fly out
[00:56:57] yeah
[00:56:57] I think
[00:56:58] that counts
[00:56:58] as flies
[00:56:59] yeah
[00:56:59] I'm gonna
[00:56:59] count
[00:57:00] yeah
[00:57:00] and then
[00:57:01] we get
[00:57:02] quote
[00:57:03] last but not
[00:57:04] least
[00:57:05] the boils
[00:57:06] yeah
[00:57:07] which also
[00:57:08] only seem
[00:57:09] to affect
[00:57:10] the Egyptians
[00:57:11] and at first
[00:57:12] I asked myself
[00:57:13] why
[00:57:13] you know
[00:57:14] like why
[00:57:14] are only
[00:57:15] Egyptians
[00:57:15] getting all
[00:57:16] of these
[00:57:16] boils
[00:57:17] and not
[00:57:17] like the
[00:57:18] central cast
[00:57:18] but I thought
[00:57:19] that's a really
[00:57:20] stupid question
[00:57:20] because why
[00:57:21] would you have
[00:57:22] your whole
[00:57:22] central cast
[00:57:24] covered in
[00:57:24] boils for
[00:57:25] the rest
[00:57:25] of the
[00:57:25] movie
[00:57:26] that'd be
[00:57:26] dumb
[00:57:26] I think
[00:57:27] as well
[00:57:27] just to
[00:57:28] kind of
[00:57:28] think of
[00:57:29] it logically
[00:57:29] because I
[00:57:29] like to
[00:57:30] think of
[00:57:30] it logically
[00:57:30] they do
[00:57:31] say that
[00:57:32] like they're
[00:57:33] all his
[00:57:34] slaves
[00:57:35] so maybe
[00:57:36] you have
[00:57:37] to be
[00:57:37] like a
[00:57:38] one of
[00:57:39] Imhotep's
[00:57:39] slaves
[00:57:40] in order
[00:57:40] to have
[00:57:42] that particular
[00:57:42] curse
[00:57:43] affect you
[00:57:43] because it
[00:57:44] is all
[00:57:45] of them
[00:57:45] all of
[00:57:46] the Egyptian
[00:57:46] extras
[00:57:48] and no one
[00:57:49] else
[00:57:49] so I think
[00:57:50] it's just
[00:57:50] to do with
[00:57:51] the fact
[00:57:51] that like
[00:57:51] they're
[00:57:52] they're his
[00:57:53] slaves
[00:57:53] they're his
[00:57:54] people
[00:57:54] and maybe
[00:57:55] they're
[00:57:56] because of
[00:57:56] that link
[00:57:57] that he
[00:57:57] has with
[00:57:57] them
[00:57:57] that's the
[00:57:58] only way
[00:57:59] he can
[00:57:59] maybe like
[00:58:00] maybe some
[00:58:00] sort of
[00:58:01] ancestral link
[00:58:01] maybe
[00:58:02] so that's
[00:58:03] all I have
[00:58:03] for the
[00:58:04] ancient
[00:58:04] Egyptian
[00:58:05] side of
[00:58:06] things
[00:58:07] but this
[00:58:08] is also
[00:58:08] a movie
[00:58:09] that is
[00:58:10] set in
[00:58:11] a real
[00:58:11] time and
[00:58:12] place
[00:58:12] starting
[00:58:13] in 1923
[00:58:14] we first
[00:58:15] see Rick
[00:58:15] O'Connell
[00:58:16] as being
[00:58:17] a soldier
[00:58:18] in the
[00:58:18] French
[00:58:19] Foreign
[00:58:19] Legion
[00:58:19] and
[00:58:20] that's
[00:58:21] why he
[00:58:21] was called
[00:58:22] a
[00:58:22] legionnaire
[00:58:23] and
[00:58:24] so the
[00:58:24] French
[00:58:24] Foreign
[00:58:24] Legion
[00:58:25] they
[00:58:25] hired
[00:58:26] foreigners
[00:58:26] to do
[00:58:27] French
[00:58:28] fighting
[00:58:28] basically
[00:58:29] but then
[00:58:30] you know
[00:58:30] the question
[00:58:30] is why
[00:58:31] would they
[00:58:31] be interested
[00:58:32] in a
[00:58:33] place like
[00:58:33] Hamunaptra
[00:58:34] and I'll
[00:58:36] come back
[00:58:36] to that
[00:58:37] but it
[00:58:37] has to
[00:58:38] do with
[00:58:39] the big
[00:58:39] thing that
[00:58:40] happened in
[00:58:40] Egyptology
[00:58:41] in February
[00:58:43] of 1923
[00:58:44] and that
[00:58:45] is when
[00:58:45] Howard
[00:58:46] Carter
[00:58:46] and his
[00:58:47] team
[00:58:48] opened
[00:58:49] the
[00:58:49] tomb
[00:58:50] of
[00:58:50] Tutankhamun
[00:58:52] which
[00:58:53] led to
[00:58:53] arguably
[00:58:54] the biggest
[00:58:55] revival
[00:58:55] of interest
[00:58:56] in ancient
[00:58:57] Egyptian
[00:58:57] stuff
[00:58:58] in history
[00:58:59] and what's
[00:59:01] now referred
[00:59:01] to as
[00:59:02] Egyptomania
[00:59:03] okay but
[00:59:04] love for
[00:59:05] ancient Egypt
[00:59:05] was not
[00:59:06] new
[00:59:07] in 1923
[00:59:08] in fact
[00:59:09] it goes
[00:59:09] back to
[00:59:10] the late
[00:59:10] Roman Empire
[00:59:11] when leaders
[00:59:13] and wealthy
[00:59:13] citizens
[00:59:14] showed off
[00:59:15] their
[00:59:15] fashionable
[00:59:16] creds
[00:59:17] by having
[00:59:18] obelisks
[00:59:18] built
[00:59:19] or brought
[00:59:20] up from
[00:59:20] Egypt
[00:59:20] for their
[00:59:21] homes
[00:59:21] and ancient
[00:59:23] Egyptian
[00:59:23] style and
[00:59:24] symbolism
[00:59:25] was adopted
[00:59:26] by so many
[00:59:27] people throughout
[00:59:27] history including
[00:59:28] the Freemasons
[00:59:30] Mozart
[00:59:31] he had some
[00:59:32] of that in
[00:59:33] his operas
[00:59:33] the French
[00:59:35] revolutionaries
[00:59:36] including
[00:59:36] Napoleon
[00:59:37] they were
[00:59:37] well into
[00:59:38] ancient
[00:59:38] Egypt
[00:59:39] and free
[00:59:41] thinking
[00:59:41] elites
[00:59:42] in Europe
[00:59:43] like
[00:59:44] Percy Shelley
[00:59:45] in the 1800s
[00:59:46] who had
[00:59:46] these ancient
[00:59:48] Egyptian
[00:59:48] motifs
[00:59:49] to their
[00:59:50] houses
[00:59:51] and mansions
[00:59:51] to let
[00:59:52] everybody
[00:59:52] know
[00:59:53] that they
[00:59:53] were
[00:59:53] oh yeah
[00:59:54] and didn't
[00:59:54] he write
[00:59:55] Ozyman
[00:59:55] Ozyman
[00:59:55] Dias
[00:59:56] I don't
[00:59:56] know
[00:59:58] it's a poem
[00:59:59] about
[01:00:01] Ramsey
[01:00:01] oh cool
[01:00:02] yes
[01:00:02] I believe
[01:00:03] so
[01:00:04] so this
[01:00:05] coincides
[01:00:05] with something
[01:00:06] that we
[01:00:06] really also
[01:00:07] don't have
[01:00:07] time to
[01:00:08] discuss
[01:00:08] which is
[01:00:09] the whole
[01:00:09] history
[01:00:09] of
[01:00:16] go
[01:00:17] through
[01:00:17] it
[01:00:17] all
[01:00:18] but
[01:00:18] in
[01:00:19] 1882
[01:00:20] two
[01:00:21] things
[01:00:22] happened
[01:00:22] that are
[01:00:24] relevant
[01:00:24] to the
[01:00:24] mummy
[01:00:24] one
[01:00:25] the
[01:00:26] British
[01:00:26] empire
[01:00:27] who had
[01:00:28] pretty much
[01:00:28] already been
[01:00:29] all up in
[01:00:30] Egypt's
[01:00:30] grill for a
[01:00:31] while
[01:00:31] they established
[01:00:33] a de facto
[01:00:34] protectorate
[01:00:35] over Egypt
[01:00:35] putting themselves
[01:00:37] in charge of
[01:00:37] the military
[01:00:38] and the
[01:00:39] economy
[01:00:39] and two
[01:00:41] some British
[01:00:43] and European
[01:00:43] Egyptologists
[01:00:44] established
[01:00:46] the Egypt
[01:00:47] exploration
[01:00:48] society
[01:00:48] which
[01:00:49] still exists
[01:00:50] today
[01:00:51] but is
[01:00:52] you know
[01:00:53] less icky
[01:00:54] and colonial
[01:00:54] so
[01:00:55] in the
[01:00:56] library
[01:00:56] scene
[01:00:57] when Evie
[01:00:57] is putting
[01:00:58] all that
[01:00:58] stuff away
[01:00:59] we see
[01:01:00] these shelves
[01:01:01] and shelves
[01:01:01] of bound
[01:01:02] volumes
[01:01:03] and binders
[01:01:03] and these
[01:01:05] binders
[01:01:05] are meant
[01:01:06] to be
[01:01:06] field reports
[01:01:07] of the
[01:01:08] Egyptian
[01:01:08] exploration
[01:01:09] society
[01:01:10] and we
[01:01:10] know
[01:01:10] that
[01:01:11] because
[01:01:11] the
[01:01:11] props
[01:01:11] department
[01:01:12] took
[01:01:12] the
[01:01:12] real
[01:01:13] logo
[01:01:13] from
[01:01:14] the
[01:01:14] society
[01:01:15] and put
[01:01:16] them
[01:01:16] on there
[01:01:17] replicated
[01:01:18] it
[01:01:19] and replicated
[01:01:19] these
[01:01:20] binders
[01:01:20] so cool
[01:01:21] so they're
[01:01:22] just like
[01:01:22] reports
[01:01:23] from all
[01:01:24] of the
[01:01:24] people
[01:01:24] doing
[01:01:25] these
[01:01:25] digs
[01:01:25] or
[01:01:26] where
[01:01:27] they were
[01:01:27] sending
[01:01:27] artifacts
[01:01:28] that they
[01:01:28] had
[01:01:29] or
[01:01:29] what
[01:01:30] lectures
[01:01:30] people
[01:01:31] were
[01:01:31] holding
[01:01:31] in
[01:01:31] Europe
[01:01:32] or
[01:01:32] what
[01:01:32] artifacts
[01:01:33] were
[01:01:33] being
[01:01:33] put
[01:01:33] on
[01:01:34] display
[01:01:34] in
[01:01:34] different
[01:01:34] museums
[01:01:35] in
[01:01:35] Europe
[01:01:35] because
[01:01:36] that's
[01:01:36] a lot
[01:01:36] of what
[01:01:36] the
[01:01:37] society
[01:01:37] did
[01:01:37] and in
[01:01:38] case
[01:01:38] you're
[01:01:38] curious
[01:01:39] in
[01:01:40] 1926
[01:01:41] I went
[01:01:42] through
[01:01:42] the
[01:01:43] annual
[01:01:43] report
[01:01:44] of the
[01:01:44] Egyptian
[01:01:45] exploration
[01:01:46] society
[01:01:46] from
[01:01:47] 1926
[01:01:48] which you
[01:01:48] can access
[01:01:49] online
[01:01:49] and they
[01:01:50] were doing
[01:01:51] a lot
[01:01:51] of like
[01:01:52] excavating
[01:01:52] stuff
[01:01:53] belonging
[01:01:54] to
[01:01:55] Seti
[01:01:56] the
[01:01:56] first
[01:01:56] wow
[01:01:57] okay
[01:01:58] I don't
[01:01:59] know if
[01:01:59] the makers
[01:01:59] of this
[01:02:00] movie
[01:02:00] knew
[01:02:00] that
[01:02:01] or
[01:02:01] anything
[01:02:02] so all
[01:02:03] of this
[01:02:04] fascination
[01:02:04] with ancient
[01:02:05] Egypt
[01:02:05] really
[01:02:06] exploded
[01:02:07] in
[01:02:07] 1923
[01:02:08] when
[01:02:09] Howard
[01:02:09] Carter
[01:02:09] and his
[01:02:10] crew
[01:02:10] opened
[01:02:11] the
[01:02:11] tomb
[01:02:11] of
[01:02:12] Tutankhamun
[01:02:13] which was
[01:02:14] incredibly
[01:02:14] well
[01:02:15] preserved
[01:02:15] and housed
[01:02:17] like over
[01:02:17] 5,000
[01:02:18] artifacts
[01:02:19] like not
[01:02:20] to mention
[01:02:20] all of
[01:02:21] the stuff
[01:02:21] written
[01:02:22] and painted
[01:02:23] all over
[01:02:23] the walls
[01:02:24] and then
[01:02:24] with this
[01:02:25] new
[01:02:25] 20th
[01:02:26] century
[01:02:26] media
[01:02:27] at the
[01:02:27] time
[01:02:28] news
[01:02:29] and images
[01:02:29] of the
[01:02:29] tomb
[01:02:30] discovery
[01:02:31] just spread
[01:02:31] all over
[01:02:32] the world
[01:02:33] relatively
[01:02:33] really quickly
[01:02:34] and the
[01:02:35] items
[01:02:35] themselves
[01:02:36] were
[01:02:36] of course
[01:02:37] taken
[01:02:37] out
[01:02:37] and put
[01:02:38] on display
[01:02:39] in exhibitions
[01:02:40] all over
[01:02:41] Europe
[01:02:41] and America
[01:02:42] wasn't there
[01:02:43] a famous
[01:02:44] curse
[01:02:44] on Tutankhamun's
[01:02:45] tomb
[01:02:45] as well
[01:02:48] that like
[01:02:49] something
[01:02:49] happened to
[01:02:50] the people
[01:02:50] who did
[01:02:51] actually go
[01:02:52] into the
[01:02:52] tomb
[01:02:52] or like
[01:02:53] there's
[01:02:53] like a
[01:02:54] conspiracy
[01:02:54] like there's
[01:02:55] theories
[01:02:55] about it
[01:02:56] that they
[01:02:57] died in
[01:02:58] like suspicious
[01:02:58] circumstances
[01:02:59] or something
[01:03:00] I can't
[01:03:01] remember off
[01:03:01] the top of
[01:03:01] my head
[01:03:02] but I'm
[01:03:02] sure there's
[01:03:02] something
[01:03:03] no absolutely
[01:03:04] so
[01:03:05] explorers
[01:03:05] who
[01:03:06] excavated
[01:03:07] Tutankhamun's
[01:03:08] tomb
[01:03:08] didn't
[01:03:08] die
[01:03:09] dramatically
[01:03:10] right away
[01:03:11] after they
[01:03:11] opened the
[01:03:12] tomb
[01:03:12] but enough
[01:03:13] of them
[01:03:14] died
[01:03:14] deaths
[01:03:15] that were
[01:03:15] suspicious
[01:03:16] enough
[01:03:16] and close
[01:03:17] enough
[01:03:17] to the
[01:03:18] discovery
[01:03:18] of the
[01:03:19] tomb
[01:03:19] that this
[01:03:20] rumor
[01:03:20] started
[01:03:21] that it
[01:03:22] was the
[01:03:22] tomb
[01:03:22] itself
[01:03:23] that because
[01:03:24] it was
[01:03:24] so well
[01:03:25] preserved
[01:03:25] and because
[01:03:25] they were
[01:03:26] the first
[01:03:26] people
[01:03:26] to open
[01:03:27] it
[01:03:33] and that
[01:03:33] that's
[01:03:34] where this
[01:03:34] idea of
[01:03:35] the mummy's
[01:03:35] curse
[01:03:35] really
[01:03:36] began
[01:03:37] so there's
[01:03:38] a huge
[01:03:39] huge influence
[01:03:40] that we
[01:03:41] can see
[01:03:41] the through
[01:03:42] line like
[01:03:42] from the
[01:03:43] mummy
[01:03:43] in 1999
[01:03:44] through the
[01:03:45] 1932 movie
[01:03:46] and then back
[01:03:46] to the
[01:03:47] 20s because
[01:03:48] 1920s
[01:03:49] Egyptomania
[01:03:50] heavily
[01:03:50] influenced so
[01:03:51] many things
[01:03:52] in American
[01:03:53] and British
[01:03:54] and European
[01:03:54] Western culture
[01:03:55] and from
[01:03:57] architecture
[01:03:57] and design
[01:03:58] it kicked
[01:03:59] off the
[01:04:00] art deco
[01:04:00] movement
[01:04:01] so anytime
[01:04:01] you watch
[01:04:02] a Poirot
[01:04:03] on TV
[01:04:04] and you
[01:04:04] can appreciate
[01:04:05] his London
[01:04:07] apartment
[01:04:07] and know
[01:04:08] that it was
[01:04:09] all inspired
[01:04:09] by ancient
[01:04:10] Egypt in
[01:04:11] the 20s
[01:04:11] it was big
[01:04:12] in fashion
[01:04:12] and beauty
[01:04:13] trends
[01:04:14] including
[01:04:14] black wing
[01:04:15] eyeliner
[01:04:16] which we
[01:04:16] still enjoy
[01:04:17] today
[01:04:18] styles like
[01:04:19] bob haircuts
[01:04:20] and those
[01:04:21] like 1920s
[01:04:22] headbands
[01:04:23] those were
[01:04:24] Egyptian
[01:04:25] inspired
[01:04:26] and
[01:04:26] marketing
[01:04:27] and advertisement
[01:04:28] for just
[01:04:29] about any
[01:04:30] kind of
[01:04:30] product
[01:04:31] you could
[01:04:31] think of
[01:04:32] had some
[01:04:32] kind of
[01:04:33] Egyptian
[01:04:33] stamp
[01:04:34] on it
[01:04:34] soap
[01:04:34] cigarettes
[01:04:36] biscuit
[01:04:37] tins
[01:04:37] and of
[01:04:38] course
[01:04:38] we've got
[01:04:39] the spooky
[01:04:40] lore that
[01:04:41] we were
[01:04:41] just talking
[01:04:41] about
[01:04:42] that made
[01:04:43] the mummy
[01:04:44] into the
[01:04:45] monster
[01:04:45] that we
[01:04:46] see in
[01:04:47] our 1932
[01:04:48] film
[01:04:48] so all
[01:04:50] of that
[01:04:51] kind of
[01:04:51] explains
[01:04:52] why Rick
[01:04:54] O'Connell
[01:04:55] would be
[01:04:55] there
[01:04:56] why the
[01:04:57] French
[01:04:57] would be
[01:04:57] interested
[01:04:58] in finding
[01:04:59] a place
[01:04:59] like
[01:05:00] Kaminatra
[01:05:00] interested
[01:05:01] enough
[01:05:02] that they
[01:05:02] would
[01:05:02] employ
[01:05:03] the
[01:05:03] legionnaires
[01:05:03] to go
[01:05:04] and fight
[01:05:05] the magi
[01:05:06] and look
[01:05:06] for it
[01:05:08] it also
[01:05:09] explains
[01:05:11] why
[01:05:11] Evie and
[01:05:12] her brother
[01:05:12] are there
[01:05:13] in the
[01:05:13] first place
[01:05:14] if her
[01:05:14] father is
[01:05:15] this
[01:05:16] famous
[01:05:17] British
[01:05:17] is he
[01:05:18] British
[01:05:18] famous
[01:05:19] yeah
[01:05:20] so her
[01:05:21] father is
[01:05:21] this famous
[01:05:22] British
[01:05:22] explorer
[01:05:23] there with
[01:05:24] the
[01:05:24] Egyptian
[01:05:24] exploration
[01:05:25] society
[01:05:26] and that's
[01:05:27] how she
[01:05:28] ends up
[01:05:28] being there
[01:05:29] with her
[01:05:30] brother
[01:05:30] yeah
[01:05:31] because she
[01:05:31] mentions that
[01:05:32] her father
[01:05:33] loved Egypt
[01:05:33] so much
[01:05:34] that he
[01:05:35] married an
[01:05:35] Egyptian
[01:05:36] woman
[01:05:36] and then
[01:05:37] obviously
[01:05:38] that's how
[01:05:38] and have the
[01:05:39] whitest
[01:05:39] children in
[01:05:40] the world
[01:05:40] yeah
[01:05:41] there is no
[01:05:42] there is no
[01:05:43] Egyptian
[01:05:43] blood
[01:05:44] there
[01:05:44] like at
[01:05:45] least
[01:05:46] they gave
[01:05:47] you know
[01:05:47] Rachel Weisz
[01:05:48] had her
[01:05:48] dark hair
[01:05:49] yeah
[01:05:50] but also
[01:05:51] Rachel Weisz
[01:05:51] I just want
[01:05:52] to mention
[01:05:52] her makeup
[01:05:53] is so
[01:05:53] beautiful
[01:05:54] 1920s
[01:05:55] like
[01:05:55] the Betty
[01:05:56] Boop of
[01:05:56] it all
[01:05:57] is so
[01:05:58] gorgeous
[01:05:58] to see
[01:05:59] it really
[01:06:00] suits her
[01:06:00] face
[01:06:01] anyway
[01:06:02] yeah
[01:06:02] I just
[01:06:03] think that
[01:06:04] Evie
[01:06:04] Evie's one
[01:06:05] of those
[01:06:05] characters
[01:06:06] that obviously
[01:06:06] she's incredibly
[01:06:07] beautiful
[01:06:08] as you would
[01:06:09] expect her
[01:06:10] to be
[01:06:10] but I
[01:06:11] always think
[01:06:12] I mentioned
[01:06:13] earlier
[01:06:13] about a
[01:06:13] representation
[01:06:14] and like
[01:06:15] growing up
[01:06:16] having a
[01:06:17] woman
[01:06:17] on screen
[01:06:19] like Evie
[01:06:20] was it
[01:06:20] wasn't really
[01:06:21] heard of
[01:06:21] yes she is
[01:06:23] damseled at
[01:06:23] one point
[01:06:24] but otherwise
[01:06:25] you know
[01:06:26] she's the
[01:06:26] smartest person
[01:06:27] in the room
[01:06:28] she's resourceful
[01:06:29] she knows what
[01:06:30] she's talking
[01:06:31] about
[01:06:31] she is the
[01:06:33] catalyst for
[01:06:33] all of this
[01:06:34] happening
[01:06:34] and that's
[01:06:34] true
[01:06:35] but she is
[01:06:36] also the
[01:06:37] person who's
[01:06:37] like no
[01:06:38] I want to
[01:06:38] fix this
[01:06:39] she doesn't
[01:06:39] kind of run
[01:06:40] away from
[01:06:40] it
[01:06:40] and to have
[01:06:41] like a
[01:06:42] woman
[01:06:42] depicted as
[01:06:43] like somewhat
[01:06:44] of a hero
[01:06:44] in the late
[01:06:46] 90s
[01:06:46] when every
[01:06:47] other woman
[01:06:47] was like
[01:06:48] oh my god
[01:06:49] what are we
[01:06:50] gonna do
[01:06:51] yeah
[01:06:52] especially the
[01:06:53] Indiana Jones
[01:06:54] type
[01:06:54] exactly
[01:06:55] right
[01:06:55] exactly
[01:06:56] yeah
[01:06:56] so I
[01:06:58] yeah
[01:06:58] genuinely
[01:06:59] she is one
[01:06:59] of the best
[01:07:00] characters
[01:07:00] that's why
[01:07:01] I named
[01:07:01] my cat
[01:07:02] after her
[01:07:03] because
[01:07:03] oh really
[01:07:04] yeah
[01:07:05] my cat's
[01:07:05] called
[01:07:05] Evie
[01:07:07] oh
[01:07:08] welcome
[01:07:08] Evie
[01:07:09] when I
[01:07:09] got
[01:07:09] Evie
[01:07:10] she reminded
[01:07:11] me of
[01:07:11] Evie
[01:07:12] because she
[01:07:12] was just
[01:07:12] this little
[01:07:13] adventurous
[01:07:14] beautiful
[01:07:14] little thing
[01:07:15] and she
[01:07:15] loves to
[01:07:16] climb trees
[01:07:16] and she
[01:07:18] loves you
[01:07:18] know she's
[01:07:18] just
[01:07:19] I figured
[01:07:20] you know
[01:07:20] Evie in
[01:07:21] the movie
[01:07:22] like she
[01:07:22] climbs up a
[01:07:23] ladder and
[01:07:23] knocks a load
[01:07:24] of books
[01:07:24] over so
[01:07:25] I reckon
[01:07:26] my Evie
[01:07:26] would do
[01:07:26] that
[01:07:27] she's pretty
[01:07:27] clumsy
[01:07:28] but yeah
[01:07:29] anyway sorry
[01:07:30] I just
[01:07:30] wanted to
[01:07:30] say I
[01:07:31] just love
[01:07:32] Rachel
[01:07:32] Weisz in
[01:07:32] this movie
[01:07:33] so much
[01:07:33] she's amazing
[01:07:34] and she is
[01:07:35] a good
[01:07:35] fighter
[01:07:35] and I
[01:07:37] even like
[01:07:38] that she
[01:07:39] is like
[01:07:39] the reason
[01:07:40] a lot of
[01:07:41] the mess
[01:07:41] happens
[01:07:42] because it's
[01:07:42] like we
[01:07:44] so often
[01:07:44] see women
[01:07:45] having to
[01:07:46] clean up
[01:07:46] men's
[01:07:46] messes
[01:07:47] so it's
[01:07:48] nice that
[01:07:48] she drives
[01:07:49] the plot
[01:07:50] in so many
[01:07:51] ways
[01:07:51] and she's
[01:07:52] very good
[01:07:52] on a
[01:07:53] camel
[01:07:54] and
[01:07:54] yes
[01:07:56] okay
[01:07:57] so obviously
[01:07:58] she's not
[01:07:58] an Egyptian
[01:07:59] actress
[01:08:00] but I
[01:08:01] like that
[01:08:01] at least
[01:08:01] the film
[01:08:02] tried to
[01:08:03] make her
[01:08:03] an Egyptian
[01:08:04] character
[01:08:04] because
[01:08:05] otherwise
[01:08:06] in this
[01:08:06] film if I
[01:08:07] do have
[01:08:07] a criticism
[01:08:07] for it
[01:08:08] it's that
[01:08:08] the Egyptian
[01:08:09] characters
[01:08:09] are fairly
[01:08:12] backgrounded
[01:08:14] we certainly
[01:08:15] don't see
[01:08:15] any Egyptian
[01:08:16] women
[01:08:17] coming to
[01:08:18] the foreground
[01:08:18] we see
[01:08:19] some Egyptian
[01:08:20] men as
[01:08:21] baddies or
[01:08:22] working with
[01:08:23] baddies or
[01:08:24] just you
[01:08:25] know a bunch
[01:08:26] of guys
[01:08:26] getting their
[01:08:27] faces all
[01:08:28] messed up
[01:08:29] by boils
[01:08:29] or hot
[01:08:31] salt
[01:08:31] acid
[01:08:31] so I
[01:08:33] don't want
[01:08:34] to overlook
[01:08:34] the fact
[01:08:35] that this
[01:08:36] whole time
[01:08:37] period in
[01:08:37] the 1920s
[01:08:38] with Egyptomania
[01:08:39] it wasn't
[01:08:40] just about
[01:08:41] European
[01:08:42] and American
[01:08:44] hijacking
[01:08:45] ancient Egyptian
[01:08:46] aesthetic
[01:08:47] aesthetic and
[01:08:47] creating a
[01:08:48] whole personality
[01:08:49] from it
[01:08:49] at the time
[01:08:51] the mummy
[01:08:51] is set
[01:08:52] Egypt
[01:08:53] itself
[01:08:53] was going
[01:08:54] through an
[01:08:55] incredible
[01:08:55] time of
[01:08:56] change in
[01:08:57] basically every
[01:08:58] part of
[01:08:58] society
[01:08:58] and that
[01:08:59] was also
[01:09:00] influenced by
[01:09:02] this rediscovery
[01:09:03] of ancient
[01:09:03] Egypt
[01:09:04] so I
[01:09:05] mentioned that
[01:09:06] the British
[01:09:06] had taken
[01:09:07] de facto
[01:09:07] control
[01:09:08] of Egypt
[01:09:09] in 1882
[01:09:10] in 1919
[01:09:12] there was
[01:09:13] a popular
[01:09:13] uprising
[01:09:14] again this
[01:09:14] is very
[01:09:15] truncated
[01:09:16] and I'm
[01:09:16] sorry for
[01:09:17] that but
[01:09:17] in 1919
[01:09:18] there was
[01:09:19] a popular
[01:09:19] uprising
[01:09:20] and a
[01:09:21] general
[01:09:21] strike
[01:09:22] that led
[01:09:23] to the
[01:09:23] establishment
[01:09:24] of at
[01:09:25] least limited
[01:09:26] independence
[01:09:26] in 1922
[01:09:28] and throughout
[01:09:29] the 1920s
[01:09:30] Cairo and
[01:09:31] other Egyptian
[01:09:32] cities were
[01:09:33] centers of
[01:09:34] like in
[01:09:35] addition to
[01:09:36] this political
[01:09:36] upheaval
[01:09:37] new arts
[01:09:39] and culture
[01:09:40] movements
[01:09:40] and a
[01:09:41] nightlife
[01:09:42] scene
[01:09:42] with music
[01:09:43] and dancing
[01:09:44] and this
[01:09:45] included opera
[01:09:46] cabaret
[01:09:47] jazz
[01:09:48] and a
[01:09:49] revival of
[01:09:50] traditional Arab
[01:09:51] singing
[01:09:51] and a
[01:09:53] trend of
[01:09:53] anti-colonial
[01:09:54] songs which
[01:09:55] I think is
[01:09:55] very fun
[01:09:55] and European
[01:09:57] and American
[01:09:58] performers
[01:09:59] actually came
[01:10:00] over to
[01:10:01] join this
[01:10:02] scene
[01:10:03] in the
[01:10:03] 20s
[01:10:04] and as
[01:10:05] in Europe
[01:10:06] like ancient
[01:10:07] Egyptian
[01:10:07] style became
[01:10:08] really popular
[01:10:09] in like
[01:10:10] modern
[01:10:10] Egyptian
[01:10:11] especially
[01:10:11] architecture
[01:10:12] we see a
[01:10:13] lot of
[01:10:13] examples of
[01:10:13] this even
[01:10:14] today
[01:10:14] and the
[01:10:15] international
[01:10:16] obsession with
[01:10:17] ancient Egypt
[01:10:18] was this
[01:10:19] big national
[01:10:20] morale boost
[01:10:21] for Egyptians
[01:10:22] as well
[01:10:23] as they
[01:10:23] started to
[01:10:24] take control
[01:10:25] of their
[01:10:25] history back
[01:10:26] from the
[01:10:27] British
[01:10:27] and other
[01:10:28] Europeans
[01:10:28] and so
[01:10:29] just as a
[01:10:30] side note
[01:10:30] today I
[01:10:32] said the
[01:10:32] Egyptian
[01:10:33] exploration
[01:10:33] society
[01:10:34] much less
[01:10:35] colonial
[01:10:36] and is
[01:10:37] very
[01:10:37] Egyptian
[01:10:38] focused
[01:10:38] populated
[01:10:39] by
[01:10:39] Egyptian
[01:10:40] scholars
[01:10:41] and works
[01:10:42] with Egyptian
[01:10:42] museums
[01:10:43] and they
[01:10:44] have a
[01:10:45] couple of
[01:10:46] online courses
[01:10:47] you can
[01:10:47] take that
[01:10:48] you might be
[01:10:48] interested in
[01:10:49] including
[01:10:50] women's work
[01:10:51] in the
[01:10:51] history of
[01:10:52] Egyptology
[01:10:53] and ancient
[01:10:54] Egyptian
[01:10:55] hieroglyphs
[01:10:56] which I was
[01:10:57] shocked to
[01:10:58] learn does
[01:10:59] not just
[01:11:00] mean that like
[01:11:01] Egyptian stamp
[01:11:02] book that I
[01:11:03] got as a
[01:11:03] child where
[01:11:04] like bird
[01:11:06] equals a
[01:11:07] and feather
[01:11:08] equals b
[01:11:09] and you can
[01:11:10] write notes
[01:11:10] to your
[01:11:11] friends that
[01:11:11] way make
[01:11:12] them learn
[01:11:13] a cipher
[01:11:13] and they're
[01:11:14] like this is
[01:11:15] too much
[01:11:15] effort to
[01:11:16] be your
[01:11:16] friend
[01:11:17] you're like
[01:11:17] why
[01:11:19] and that's
[01:11:20] why
[01:11:22] and the
[01:11:23] whole thing
[01:11:23] with bats
[01:11:25] so that
[01:11:26] is what
[01:11:26] I that
[01:11:27] is the
[01:11:27] history
[01:11:27] that I
[01:11:28] have to
[01:11:28] share with
[01:11:28] you did
[01:11:29] I teach
[01:11:29] you
[01:11:29] anything
[01:11:30] new
[01:11:30] oh my
[01:11:31] god yes
[01:11:33] yeah that's
[01:11:34] amazing
[01:11:34] and it's
[01:11:36] so cool
[01:11:37] and it's
[01:11:37] really interesting
[01:11:38] as well because
[01:11:39] going back to
[01:11:40] this movie
[01:11:41] you have to
[01:11:42] believe that
[01:11:43] someone
[01:11:44] obviously and
[01:11:46] the 1932
[01:11:46] movie got
[01:11:47] you know
[01:11:47] that someone
[01:11:48] must have
[01:11:49] been like
[01:11:49] well we've
[01:11:50] got dates
[01:11:51] as to when
[01:11:52] Tutankhamun's
[01:11:53] tomb was
[01:11:54] first opened
[01:11:55] so like
[01:11:56] maybe we
[01:11:57] could set
[01:11:57] this movie
[01:11:58] around the
[01:11:58] same time
[01:11:59] and it
[01:12:00] all just
[01:12:01] makes so
[01:12:02] much sense
[01:12:02] if you
[01:12:03] if you put
[01:12:04] the pieces
[01:12:04] of the
[01:12:05] puzzle
[01:12:05] together
[01:12:05] it just
[01:12:06] it's like
[01:12:07] it's like
[01:12:07] it clicks
[01:12:08] in your
[01:12:08] brain
[01:12:08] and you're
[01:12:08] like
[01:12:09] actually
[01:12:09] that makes
[01:12:10] sense
[01:12:11] that's why
[01:12:12] like the
[01:12:12] 2017
[01:12:13] mummy movie
[01:12:13] just doesn't
[01:12:14] make sense
[01:12:14] because it's
[01:12:15] like it's
[01:12:15] not smart
[01:12:16] enough to
[01:12:16] think like
[01:12:17] this
[01:12:18] right so
[01:12:19] they see
[01:12:19] I don't know
[01:12:20] very much
[01:12:20] about the
[01:12:20] film but
[01:12:21] they do
[01:12:21] try to
[01:12:22] like make
[01:12:22] it very
[01:12:23] modern
[01:12:23] like there's
[01:12:24] a whole
[01:12:24] thing with
[01:12:25] with Middle
[01:12:25] Eastern
[01:12:26] kind of
[01:12:26] modern warfare
[01:12:27] and that
[01:12:28] being some
[01:12:29] kind of like
[01:12:30] catalyst for a
[01:12:31] mummy thing
[01:12:31] happening right
[01:12:32] it's just
[01:12:33] it's just a
[01:12:33] pile of
[01:12:34] horseshit
[01:12:35] no mummy
[01:12:36] movie should
[01:12:37] ever exist
[01:12:38] like be set
[01:12:40] outside of
[01:12:41] either ancient
[01:12:43] Egypt or the
[01:12:44] 1920s
[01:12:45] exactly
[01:12:45] you know that
[01:12:46] part of it
[01:12:46] was filmed in
[01:12:47] Oxford
[01:12:48] which one
[01:12:49] what
[01:12:50] the bad
[01:12:50] one
[01:12:51] the bad
[01:12:51] one
[01:12:52] oh
[01:12:52] I'm sorry
[01:12:53] yeah
[01:12:55] I can't
[01:12:56] believe they
[01:12:56] like closed
[01:12:56] down the
[01:12:57] streets for
[01:12:57] that
[01:12:58] and
[01:12:58] because it
[01:12:59] was like
[01:12:59] Tom Cruise
[01:13:00] and they
[01:13:00] were like
[01:13:00] Mr. Cruise
[01:13:01] what do you
[01:13:01] want we'll
[01:13:02] do anything
[01:13:02] for you
[01:13:03] you wanna
[01:13:03] run around
[01:13:05] Oxford
[01:13:05] go for
[01:13:06] it
[01:13:07] yeah
[01:13:07] so my
[01:13:08] notes for
[01:13:09] this film
[01:13:09] are very
[01:13:10] scattered
[01:13:11] because I
[01:13:12] just kind
[01:13:12] of sat
[01:13:13] and enjoyed
[01:13:13] it
[01:13:13] for a lot
[01:13:14] of the
[01:13:14] time
[01:13:15] again there
[01:13:16] are things
[01:13:16] you can
[01:13:17] pick out
[01:13:18] like why
[01:13:18] doesn't
[01:13:19] everybody
[01:13:19] have boils
[01:13:20] but you're
[01:13:20] like who
[01:13:22] cares
[01:13:22] other things
[01:13:23] were a bit
[01:13:23] more fun
[01:13:25] to try to
[01:13:26] work out
[01:13:26] and be
[01:13:27] confused by
[01:13:28] if that
[01:13:28] makes sense
[01:13:29] like I
[01:13:31] wanna know
[01:13:31] we didn't
[01:13:32] see Imhotep
[01:13:34] get from
[01:13:35] Hamanatra
[01:13:35] to Cairo
[01:13:37] with Benny
[01:13:39] so we see
[01:13:39] them go back
[01:13:40] and it's this
[01:13:41] whole thing
[01:13:41] so I presume
[01:13:42] he did the
[01:13:43] whirlwind thing
[01:13:43] I think he
[01:13:44] either
[01:13:44] he's okay
[01:13:45] so he probably
[01:13:47] didn't walk
[01:13:48] so maybe
[01:13:49] he sandstormed
[01:13:50] or he just
[01:13:51] like sanded
[01:13:52] in some way
[01:13:53] if we can
[01:13:53] call it
[01:13:54] like sanding
[01:13:54] a verb
[01:13:55] that's also
[01:13:56] a form of
[01:13:56] travel
[01:13:57] but also
[01:13:58] where did
[01:13:59] he get
[01:14:00] that disguise
[01:14:00] that disguise
[01:14:02] is so good
[01:14:03] and then
[01:14:04] I love
[01:14:05] the fact
[01:14:06] that he
[01:14:07] can do
[01:14:07] so many
[01:14:08] versatile
[01:14:08] things
[01:14:09] with sand
[01:14:09] and this
[01:14:10] is part
[01:14:11] of the
[01:14:11] curse
[01:14:11] and that
[01:14:12] includes
[01:14:13] when
[01:14:14] Imhotep
[01:14:15] makes himself
[01:14:16] into sand
[01:14:17] in order
[01:14:17] to seep
[01:14:18] through
[01:14:18] the keyhole
[01:14:20] into
[01:14:21] isn't that
[01:14:21] so
[01:14:21] Bram Stoker's
[01:14:23] Dracula
[01:14:24] and that
[01:14:25] made me
[01:14:25] wonder
[01:14:26] what's
[01:14:26] sexier
[01:14:27] someone
[01:14:28] sanding
[01:14:29] into your
[01:14:29] room
[01:14:29] or someone
[01:14:30] green misting
[01:14:32] into your
[01:14:32] room
[01:14:32] and then
[01:14:34] it's like
[01:14:34] you don't
[01:14:36] think that
[01:14:36] mummies can
[01:14:37] be sexy
[01:14:37] but then
[01:14:38] Arnold Vosloo
[01:14:39] turns up
[01:14:39] and you're
[01:14:40] like no
[01:14:40] actually
[01:14:41] I would
[01:14:42] but that's
[01:14:44] the great
[01:14:44] thing about
[01:14:44] this movie
[01:14:45] is that
[01:14:45] literally
[01:14:45] every main
[01:14:46] cast member
[01:14:47] whether you're
[01:14:49] gay,
[01:14:50] straight,
[01:14:50] bi,
[01:14:51] whatever
[01:14:51] you're like
[01:14:51] I would
[01:14:52] yeah I
[01:14:53] would
[01:14:53] I would
[01:14:55] you would
[01:14:56] for everyone
[01:14:57] Benny
[01:14:58] absolutely
[01:14:59] maybe not
[01:15:01] hey you don't
[01:15:02] know what he
[01:15:02] looks like
[01:15:03] underneath that
[01:15:03] I looked up
[01:15:04] the actor
[01:15:04] and he's
[01:15:06] very handsome
[01:15:06] I think
[01:15:07] I see
[01:15:08] yeah
[01:15:08] I also
[01:15:09] didn't
[01:15:09] realize
[01:15:09] that the
[01:15:10] character
[01:15:10] was supposed
[01:15:11] to be
[01:15:11] Hungarian
[01:15:12] until I
[01:15:13] watched the
[01:15:14] movie with
[01:15:14] subtitles
[01:15:14] and it
[01:15:15] has him
[01:15:16] saying
[01:15:17] something
[01:15:17] in Hungarian
[01:15:18] so always
[01:15:20] watch your
[01:15:20] movie with
[01:15:21] subtitles
[01:15:22] so can I
[01:15:23] tell you
[01:15:24] guys
[01:15:24] the personal
[01:15:25] connection
[01:15:25] that I
[01:15:26] have
[01:15:27] to this
[01:15:27] movie
[01:15:27] it's
[01:15:29] it's
[01:15:29] sort of
[01:15:29] so it's
[01:15:30] more Keith's
[01:15:30] thing
[01:15:30] it's like
[01:15:31] Keith's
[01:15:31] family
[01:15:31] so Keith
[01:15:32] is Irish
[01:15:32] he's from
[01:15:33] Galway
[01:15:33] and you
[01:15:35] know the
[01:15:38] Amad Jalili
[01:15:38] yeah
[01:15:38] Amad Jalili
[01:15:39] so his
[01:15:40] character's
[01:15:41] name is
[01:15:42] Gad Hassan
[01:15:43] I don't
[01:15:43] know if we
[01:15:43] were actually
[01:15:44] hear that
[01:15:44] in the
[01:15:45] film
[01:15:45] but the
[01:15:46] actor
[01:15:47] who plays
[01:15:48] Lev Warden
[01:15:48] is a
[01:15:49] comedian
[01:15:50] called
[01:15:51] Amad Jalili
[01:15:52] and he
[01:15:53] is actually
[01:15:54] also in
[01:15:55] The Gladiator
[01:15:56] he plays a
[01:15:57] slave trader
[01:15:58] so The Gladiator
[01:15:59] which is a
[01:15:59] movie that we
[01:16:00] covered recently
[01:16:01] that came out
[01:16:02] the year
[01:16:02] after this film
[01:16:03] in the year
[01:16:03] 2000
[01:16:04] he is
[01:16:05] not Arab
[01:16:06] actually
[01:16:06] not Egyptian
[01:16:08] he's
[01:16:09] Iranian
[01:16:09] Persian
[01:16:09] and he
[01:16:11] is
[01:16:11] Baha'i
[01:16:12] ah
[01:16:12] okay
[01:16:14] I see
[01:16:14] the connection
[01:16:15] now
[01:16:15] so
[01:16:15] for listeners
[01:16:17] who aren't
[01:16:17] familiar
[01:16:18] the Baha'i
[01:16:18] faith
[01:16:19] I can't
[01:16:19] really explain
[01:16:20] an entire
[01:16:21] religious tradition
[01:16:22] like real
[01:16:22] quick
[01:16:23] but it's
[01:16:24] a religion
[01:16:24] and
[01:16:25] it comes
[01:16:26] from
[01:16:27] Persia
[01:16:27] but there's
[01:16:28] also
[01:16:28] Baha'i
[01:16:29] communities
[01:16:30] there are
[01:16:30] Baha'i
[01:16:31] communities
[01:16:31] all over
[01:16:32] the world
[01:16:32] including
[01:16:33] in Ireland
[01:16:34] and
[01:16:35] my husband
[01:16:36] slash the
[01:16:37] sound
[01:16:37] engineer
[01:16:37] of this
[01:16:38] podcast
[01:16:39] grew up
[01:16:39] with
[01:16:40] Baha'i
[01:16:40] parents
[01:16:41] in
[01:16:41] Galway
[01:16:42] Ireland
[01:16:42] and so
[01:16:43] when
[01:16:44] stand-up
[01:16:44] comedian
[01:16:45] Ahmed
[01:16:45] Jalili
[01:16:46] from the
[01:16:47] mummy
[01:16:48] came to
[01:16:49] Galway
[01:16:49] to do
[01:16:49] a stand-up
[01:16:50] show
[01:16:50] Keith's
[01:16:51] parents
[01:16:52] sent him
[01:16:53] with a
[01:16:54] handwritten
[01:16:54] note
[01:16:55] to the
[01:16:56] show
[01:16:56] so that
[01:16:56] he could
[01:16:57] approach
[01:16:57] Ahmed
[01:16:58] after the
[01:16:58] show
[01:16:59] and
[01:17:00] let him
[01:17:00] know
[01:17:01] hi
[01:17:01] my name
[01:17:02] is Keith
[01:17:03] you know
[01:17:03] my aunt
[01:17:04] Brida
[01:17:04] and here
[01:17:05] is a
[01:17:06] note
[01:17:06] from my
[01:17:06] parents
[01:17:08] how old
[01:17:13] was Keith
[01:17:13] he was
[01:17:14] about 19
[01:17:15] or 20
[01:17:15] oh my god
[01:17:16] and he
[01:17:18] said that
[01:17:19] Ahmed was
[01:17:20] so sweet
[01:17:21] so genuine
[01:17:22] and is
[01:17:23] really friends
[01:17:24] with Keith's
[01:17:25] aunt Brida
[01:17:26] oh my dear
[01:17:27] friend
[01:17:27] my dear
[01:17:28] friend
[01:17:28] Brida
[01:17:29] how is
[01:17:29] she
[01:17:33] so I
[01:17:35] never knew
[01:17:35] I never
[01:17:36] knew that
[01:17:36] our family
[01:17:36] had this
[01:17:37] connection
[01:17:38] to the
[01:17:38] mummy
[01:17:38] and I'm
[01:17:39] so happy
[01:17:39] about it
[01:17:40] that's so
[01:17:41] cool
[01:17:41] that's amazing
[01:17:42] because you
[01:17:44] know as
[01:17:44] Irish people
[01:17:45] the only
[01:17:46] period drama
[01:17:47] we've covered
[01:17:47] that they
[01:17:48] really have a
[01:17:48] personal connection
[01:17:49] to is
[01:17:50] the Magdalene
[01:17:50] sisters
[01:17:51] which is not
[01:17:52] as fun
[01:17:52] no no
[01:17:53] no
[01:17:55] so do
[01:17:56] not attack
[01:17:57] me verbally
[01:17:58] or physically
[01:17:58] right now
[01:17:59] am because
[01:18:00] I would
[01:18:00] never
[01:18:01] remake the
[01:18:02] mummy
[01:18:02] but if I
[01:18:03] were to
[01:18:04] remake the
[01:18:04] mummy
[01:18:04] but you
[01:18:05] mentioned that
[01:18:06] one of the
[01:18:06] past iterations
[01:18:07] of this film
[01:18:07] the one with
[01:18:08] Daniel Day
[01:18:08] Lewis was
[01:18:09] supposed to
[01:18:09] be romantic
[01:18:10] and I think
[01:18:11] that's the only
[01:18:12] thing that
[01:18:12] makes me a
[01:18:13] little bit sad
[01:18:13] about this
[01:18:14] movie if I
[01:18:15] think about it
[01:18:16] too hard
[01:18:17] is that
[01:18:18] Imhotep
[01:18:19] he loved
[01:18:20] and he
[01:18:22] lost
[01:18:22] and then
[01:18:23] he endured
[01:18:24] his love
[01:18:25] endured and
[01:18:26] he tried to
[01:18:27] resurrect it
[01:18:28] and I think
[01:18:28] what actually
[01:18:29] broke my
[01:18:30] heart was
[01:18:31] that we
[01:18:31] never got
[01:18:32] to see
[01:18:33] Anak Sunamun
[01:18:34] back into
[01:18:36] her sexy
[01:18:37] sexy body
[01:18:39] yeah
[01:18:40] and I'm
[01:18:41] really glad
[01:18:41] that you brought
[01:18:42] this up
[01:18:42] actually
[01:18:42] because
[01:18:43] this is
[01:18:44] one of
[01:18:44] those things
[01:18:45] that I
[01:18:46] feel like
[01:18:46] people miss
[01:18:47] about this
[01:18:48] movie
[01:18:48] is that
[01:18:49] you know
[01:18:49] this movie
[01:18:49] is so much
[01:18:50] fun
[01:18:51] it's funny
[01:18:52] it's got
[01:18:52] a bit of
[01:18:53] horror
[01:18:53] it's got
[01:18:54] this multi
[01:18:56] genre appeal
[01:18:57] you've got
[01:18:57] action
[01:18:58] adventure
[01:18:58] horror
[01:18:59] comedy
[01:19:00] romance
[01:19:01] it does
[01:19:02] them all
[01:19:02] and people
[01:19:04] focus on the
[01:19:05] romance between
[01:19:06] Rick and
[01:19:06] Evie because
[01:19:07] they're the
[01:19:07] main characters
[01:19:08] and it's like
[01:19:08] oh I really
[01:19:10] fancy you
[01:19:10] I really
[01:19:11] fancy you
[01:19:11] too
[01:19:12] and it's
[01:19:12] like
[01:19:12] will they
[01:19:13] won't they
[01:19:13] it's all
[01:19:14] great
[01:19:14] I love
[01:19:15] it
[01:19:15] I love
[01:19:16] the fact
[01:19:16] that they
[01:19:17] kiss on a
[01:19:17] camel at
[01:19:18] the end
[01:19:18] bring me
[01:19:18] more kisses
[01:19:19] on camels
[01:19:19] I would
[01:19:20] love to kiss
[01:19:21] someone on
[01:19:21] a camel
[01:19:22] but people
[01:19:23] kind of miss
[01:19:25] this is actually
[01:19:26] like almost
[01:19:27] like a tragedy
[01:19:28] in a way
[01:19:30] because Imhotep
[01:19:32] he's just a
[01:19:33] guy who
[01:19:34] fell in love
[01:19:35] with the
[01:19:35] wrong woman
[01:19:36] and he fell
[01:19:37] in love with
[01:19:37] her 3,000
[01:19:38] years ago
[01:19:39] and they
[01:19:40] couldn't be
[01:19:40] together
[01:19:41] so like
[01:19:41] he could
[01:19:43] not be with
[01:19:43] this woman
[01:19:44] because this
[01:19:44] woman was
[01:19:45] the mistress
[01:19:46] of someone
[01:19:47] else
[01:19:47] and he
[01:19:48] forbade
[01:19:48] anyone
[01:19:49] else
[01:19:50] to
[01:19:50] touch
[01:19:50] her
[01:19:50] and it
[01:19:51] was like
[01:19:52] their love
[01:19:52] was so
[01:19:53] strong
[01:19:53] that one
[01:19:54] day
[01:19:54] they
[01:19:55] give in
[01:19:55] and they
[01:19:56] kiss
[01:19:56] and it's
[01:19:57] all so
[01:19:57] romantic
[01:19:57] and lovely
[01:19:58] and then
[01:19:58] obviously
[01:19:59] the pharaoh
[01:20:00] finds out
[01:20:00] and all
[01:20:01] hell breaks
[01:20:02] loose
[01:20:02] but Imhotep's
[01:20:03] love for
[01:20:04] her was so
[01:20:04] strong
[01:20:05] that literally
[01:20:05] all he
[01:20:06] wanted to
[01:20:07] do
[01:20:07] was be with
[01:20:08] her again
[01:20:08] and you
[01:20:10] know you
[01:20:10] take away
[01:20:11] all of the
[01:20:11] action adventure
[01:20:12] bravado
[01:20:12] the treasure
[01:20:14] you know
[01:20:15] the Indiana
[01:20:15] Jones
[01:20:16] of it all
[01:20:16] and fundamentally
[01:20:17] it's just
[01:20:18] about
[01:20:19] some guy
[01:20:20] who just
[01:20:20] loves a
[01:20:21] girl so
[01:20:21] much that
[01:20:21] all he
[01:20:22] wants to
[01:20:22] do is
[01:20:22] be with
[01:20:23] her again
[01:20:24] it's
[01:20:25] heartbreaking
[01:20:25] if you
[01:20:26] think about
[01:20:26] it
[01:20:27] the fact
[01:20:27] that he's
[01:20:27] got curses
[01:20:28] upon him
[01:20:28] is kind
[01:20:29] of secondary
[01:20:29] yeah
[01:20:30] I think
[01:20:30] this is why
[01:20:33] this explains
[01:20:34] all of the
[01:20:35] ten plagues
[01:20:36] thing
[01:20:36] I just
[01:20:37] think he
[01:20:37] doesn't care
[01:20:38] enough about
[01:20:38] the ten
[01:20:38] plagues
[01:20:39] he's really
[01:20:39] half-assing
[01:20:40] them
[01:20:40] he's using
[01:20:41] them
[01:20:41] toward his
[01:20:44] end
[01:20:44] of resurrecting
[01:20:46] his love
[01:20:46] but otherwise
[01:20:47] he has no
[01:20:47] control
[01:20:48] yeah
[01:20:49] I guess
[01:20:49] some
[01:20:49] locust
[01:20:50] whatever
[01:20:50] he doesn't
[01:20:50] seem to
[01:20:51] have any
[01:20:51] world domination
[01:20:52] kind of
[01:20:53] vibes
[01:20:54] he's just
[01:20:55] like
[01:20:55] look dude
[01:20:56] just let
[01:20:57] him
[01:20:57] if it
[01:20:59] was a
[01:20:59] case
[01:20:59] where he
[01:20:59] could have
[01:21:00] resurrected
[01:21:00] her
[01:21:01] without
[01:21:02] having
[01:21:02] killed
[01:21:02] Evie
[01:21:03] then I
[01:21:04] would say
[01:21:04] go for
[01:21:04] it
[01:21:05] man
[01:21:05] that part
[01:21:05] and imagine
[01:21:06] how amazing
[01:21:08] it would be
[01:21:08] for Evie
[01:21:09] not only
[01:21:10] to figure
[01:21:11] out
[01:21:11] how to
[01:21:12] you know
[01:21:13] make him
[01:21:13] mortal
[01:21:14] send him
[01:21:14] back to
[01:21:14] wherever
[01:21:15] but if
[01:21:16] she could
[01:21:17] find
[01:21:17] if she
[01:21:17] could
[01:21:18] clock
[01:21:18] what was
[01:21:18] happening
[01:21:19] and say
[01:21:20] actually
[01:21:20] I'm going
[01:21:21] to take
[01:21:21] a beat
[01:21:22] and I'm
[01:21:22] going to
[01:21:23] find a
[01:21:23] solution
[01:21:23] for this
[01:21:24] all these
[01:21:25] guys are
[01:21:25] just focused
[01:21:25] on killing
[01:21:26] him
[01:21:27] but I'm
[01:21:28] going to
[01:21:29] look a bit
[01:21:29] deeper
[01:21:29] into the
[01:21:30] text
[01:21:30] and
[01:21:31] there's
[01:21:32] oh
[01:21:33] look
[01:21:33] there's a
[01:21:33] footnote
[01:21:34] and it's
[01:21:35] going to
[01:21:35] tell me
[01:21:36] actually
[01:21:36] if you
[01:21:36] just want
[01:21:37] to do
[01:21:38] this part
[01:21:38] then
[01:21:39] the curse
[01:21:40] will be
[01:21:40] gone
[01:21:41] their souls
[01:21:42] will be
[01:21:42] released
[01:21:42] he won't
[01:21:43] get taken
[01:21:43] away by
[01:21:44] a chariot
[01:21:44] but
[01:21:45] they'll
[01:21:46] just
[01:21:46] melt
[01:21:47] into the
[01:21:48] pool
[01:21:49] together
[01:21:49] and be
[01:21:50] kissing
[01:21:51] yeah
[01:21:52] and then
[01:21:53] make hot
[01:21:53] babies
[01:21:54] yeah
[01:21:55] well
[01:21:55] I don't
[01:21:56] know how
[01:21:56] it works
[01:21:57] with
[01:21:57] ghosts
[01:21:58] can you
[01:21:58] make
[01:21:58] babies
[01:21:59] in the
[01:21:59] afterlife
[01:22:00] or
[01:22:00] I mean
[01:22:01] I guess
[01:22:01] we'll never
[01:22:01] know
[01:22:02] until
[01:22:02] together
[01:22:03] but
[01:22:04] they could
[01:22:04] then get
[01:22:05] reincarnated
[01:22:06] and make
[01:22:07] hot babies
[01:22:08] and one
[01:22:08] of them
[01:22:08] could be
[01:22:10] Evie and
[01:22:10] Rick's
[01:22:11] baby
[01:22:11] oh
[01:22:11] there we
[01:22:12] go
[01:22:12] Evie and
[01:22:13] Rick's
[01:22:13] baby
[01:22:13] and some
[01:22:14] other
[01:22:15] baby
[01:22:16] that are
[01:22:17] the resurrected
[01:22:17] in the
[01:22:18] next moon
[01:22:19] this is the
[01:22:20] modern sequel
[01:22:20] to the mummy
[01:22:21] that we're
[01:22:21] talking about
[01:22:22] now
[01:22:22] there we go
[01:22:23] there we
[01:22:24] go
[01:22:24] but yeah
[01:22:25] I'm really
[01:22:26] glad you brought
[01:22:26] that up
[01:22:27] because
[01:22:27] it is one
[01:22:28] of those
[01:22:28] things that
[01:22:29] people don't
[01:22:30] really think
[01:22:30] about but I
[01:22:31] think about it
[01:22:31] a lot and
[01:22:32] it's like when
[01:22:34] people say
[01:22:34] oh Imhotep's so
[01:22:35] evil like he's
[01:22:37] got this curse
[01:22:37] upon him and
[01:22:38] he's gonna destroy
[01:22:38] the world and
[01:22:39] I'm like no
[01:22:39] man he's just
[01:22:40] a dude in
[01:22:40] love that's
[01:22:41] it and love
[01:22:42] makes you do
[01:22:42] crazy shit
[01:22:43] like sometimes
[01:22:45] you can't control
[01:22:45] yourself when
[01:22:46] you're so in
[01:22:47] love with someone
[01:22:49] and he's just
[01:22:50] like I really
[01:22:51] like this girl
[01:22:51] man and I'll do
[01:22:53] anything to get
[01:22:54] her back and
[01:22:55] let's be fair
[01:22:55] we've all been
[01:22:56] in relationships
[01:22:57] where we're
[01:22:57] like oh I'm
[01:22:59] really sad that
[01:22:59] finished I'd
[01:23:01] really like to
[01:23:01] see that person
[01:23:02] again like what
[01:23:03] we had was
[01:23:04] great I wish I
[01:23:05] could go on
[01:23:06] another date with
[01:23:07] them he literally
[01:23:08] just wants one
[01:23:09] more date with
[01:23:09] this girl
[01:23:10] yeah yeah
[01:23:10] I'd unhinge my
[01:23:11] jaw and let
[01:23:12] flies fly out
[01:23:14] if that helped
[01:23:14] me toward that
[01:23:15] end
[01:23:16] give the Egyptians
[01:23:17] the boils and
[01:23:18] sores like
[01:23:19] yeah if that's
[01:23:20] gonna give you
[01:23:20] like one date
[01:23:21] with like the
[01:23:22] most perfect
[01:23:22] girl on the
[01:23:23] planet yeah
[01:23:24] you would
[01:23:25] but and she
[01:23:26] liked him too
[01:23:26] and that's the
[01:23:27] thing they
[01:23:27] loved each
[01:23:28] other it's
[01:23:29] not like it
[01:23:29] was unrequited
[01:23:30] and she was
[01:23:31] trapped in
[01:23:33] this love well
[01:23:34] we don't know
[01:23:34] if it was
[01:23:34] loveless but
[01:23:35] she clearly
[01:23:36] didn't love
[01:23:37] the Pharaoh
[01:23:37] so
[01:23:38] probably you
[01:23:39] could probably
[01:23:39] imagine that
[01:23:40] you know she
[01:23:40] was probably
[01:23:41] sold to him
[01:23:42] or whatever
[01:23:43] I mean
[01:23:43] yeah
[01:23:45] exactly
[01:23:47] but yeah
[01:23:49] it's just it's
[01:23:50] just a tragic
[01:23:51] love story
[01:23:51] really but
[01:23:52] it's like
[01:23:53] then it's
[01:23:54] so much fun
[01:23:55] at the same
[01:23:56] time and
[01:23:56] you've got all
[01:23:57] these other
[01:23:57] great characters
[01:23:58] and it would
[01:23:59] be a very
[01:23:59] different movie
[01:24:00] but again
[01:24:01] in when they
[01:24:02] started making
[01:24:03] the 2017
[01:24:04] movie nobody
[01:24:05] asked us
[01:24:06] and everybody
[01:24:07] before they
[01:24:08] remake a period
[01:24:09] drama should
[01:24:10] ask us
[01:24:11] absolutely
[01:24:12] and we should
[01:24:12] have right of
[01:24:13] refusal for the
[01:24:14] screenplay
[01:24:14] I think we've
[01:24:15] proved that
[01:24:16] enough
[01:24:16] absolutely
[01:24:16] yep
[01:24:17] I'm fully on
[01:24:18] board with that
[01:24:19] and I don't
[01:24:20] know well
[01:24:21] I say I don't
[01:24:22] know anyone
[01:24:22] in Hollywood
[01:24:23] I've met a
[01:24:24] couple of
[01:24:24] directors
[01:24:24] I don't
[01:24:25] think they've
[01:24:26] ever done
[01:24:26] any period
[01:24:27] stuff though
[01:24:28] spread the
[01:24:29] word
[01:24:30] well I
[01:24:30] happen to
[01:24:31] have a
[01:24:32] personal
[01:24:32] connection
[01:24:33] to
[01:24:33] Amidjilili
[01:24:34] of the
[01:24:35] Mummy and
[01:24:36] Gladiators
[01:24:36] so
[01:24:37] I could try
[01:24:38] to watch
[01:24:38] something there
[01:24:39] that's what
[01:24:39] you need to
[01:24:40] do
[01:24:40] you need to
[01:24:40] contact
[01:24:41] Amidjilili
[01:24:42] and maybe
[01:24:43] he can get
[01:24:44] the ball
[01:24:44] rolling
[01:24:44] with regards
[01:24:45] to
[01:24:46] like
[01:24:47] something
[01:24:47] and then
[01:24:49] he can
[01:24:49] consult
[01:24:50] you
[01:24:50] and
[01:24:51] yeah
[01:24:52] it'll
[01:24:52] be like
[01:24:52] just go
[01:24:53] through my
[01:24:53] agent
[01:24:53] Amidjilili
[01:24:54] yeah
[01:24:55] yeah
[01:24:55] and then
[01:24:57] we'll
[01:24:57] finally get
[01:24:58] Northanger
[01:24:58] Abbey
[01:24:58] remade
[01:25:00] I've never
[01:25:01] seen
[01:25:01] Northanger
[01:25:01] Abbey
[01:25:02] I mean
[01:25:03] I would
[01:25:04] suggest
[01:25:04] listening to
[01:25:06] our episode
[01:25:06] about it
[01:25:07] first
[01:25:07] just so
[01:25:08] you know
[01:25:08] you can
[01:25:09] prepare for
[01:25:10] how horny
[01:25:11] you're
[01:25:11] gonna get
[01:25:11] it
[01:25:14] and don't
[01:25:14] forget
[01:25:15] our
[01:25:15] our
[01:25:15] our
[01:25:16] remake
[01:25:17] of
[01:25:17] Wuthering
[01:25:18] Heights
[01:25:18] our
[01:25:19] anime
[01:25:19] remake
[01:25:20] of
[01:25:20] Wuthering
[01:25:20] Heights
[01:25:21] where
[01:25:21] everyone
[01:25:21] is
[01:25:22] an
[01:25:22] animal
[01:25:23] and
[01:25:23] it
[01:25:23] was
[01:25:23] a
[01:25:23] sheep
[01:25:23] yeah
[01:25:24] but
[01:25:24] also
[01:25:25] all
[01:25:25] the
[01:25:25] animals
[01:25:25] in
[01:25:26] the
[01:25:26] film
[01:25:26] are
[01:25:27] still
[01:25:27] animals
[01:25:28] yes
[01:25:28] yeah
[01:25:32] okay
[01:25:32] so do
[01:25:33] we have
[01:25:34] any
[01:25:34] awards
[01:25:34] to give
[01:25:35] this
[01:25:35] film
[01:25:35] and
[01:25:35] you
[01:25:36] can't
[01:25:36] give
[01:25:36] it
[01:25:36] best
[01:25:37] period
[01:25:37] drama
[01:25:38] ever
[01:25:38] in
[01:25:39] the
[01:25:39] world
[01:25:39] that's
[01:25:39] not
[01:25:40] allowed
[01:25:40] okay
[01:25:40] so I
[01:25:41] thought
[01:25:42] really
[01:25:42] long
[01:25:42] and hard
[01:25:43] about
[01:25:43] this
[01:25:43] because
[01:25:44] I
[01:25:44] was
[01:25:44] talking
[01:25:45] to you
[01:25:46] on the
[01:25:47] Instagram
[01:25:47] going
[01:25:48] like
[01:25:48] this
[01:25:49] was
[01:25:49] like
[01:25:49] going
[01:25:50] through
[01:25:50] like
[01:25:50] this
[01:25:51] I've
[01:25:51] thought
[01:25:51] about
[01:25:51] this
[01:25:51] I've
[01:25:51] thought
[01:25:52] about
[01:25:52] this
[01:25:52] and
[01:25:52] then
[01:25:52] you
[01:25:53] kind
[01:25:53] of
[01:25:53] said
[01:25:53] I can
[01:25:54] only
[01:25:54] have
[01:25:54] one
[01:25:54] so
[01:25:55] I
[01:26:10] maybe
[01:26:11] maybe
[01:26:12] maybe
[01:26:12] should
[01:26:12] stick
[01:26:13] to
[01:26:13] don't
[01:26:14] open
[01:26:14] those
[01:26:14] floodgates
[01:26:14] maybe
[01:26:15] yeah
[01:26:15] well
[01:26:16] and also
[01:26:16] it's
[01:26:17] like
[01:26:17] reading
[01:26:18] from
[01:26:18] the
[01:26:18] book
[01:26:19] you know
[01:26:19] it's
[01:26:19] like
[01:26:20] you
[01:26:20] can
[01:26:20] only
[01:26:20] do
[01:26:21] it
[01:26:21] once
[01:26:21] and
[01:26:22] then
[01:26:22] let
[01:26:22] the
[01:26:23] carnage
[01:26:23] happen
[01:26:23] after
[01:26:24] you've
[01:26:24] read
[01:26:24] from
[01:26:24] the
[01:26:24] book
[01:26:25] yeah
[01:26:25] so
[01:26:26] I'm
[01:26:26] just
[01:26:26] going
[01:26:26] to
[01:26:26] give
[01:26:26] one
[01:26:27] award
[01:26:27] and
[01:26:27] let
[01:26:27] the
[01:26:28] carnage
[01:26:28] happen
[01:26:28] yes
[01:26:29] after
[01:26:29] because
[01:26:30] this
[01:26:30] is
[01:26:31] my
[01:26:31] favorite
[01:26:31] movie
[01:26:31] so
[01:26:32] there's
[01:26:33] so much
[01:26:34] that I
[01:26:34] could
[01:26:34] give
[01:26:34] awards
[01:26:35] for
[01:26:35] but
[01:26:36] I
[01:26:36] just
[01:26:36] thought
[01:26:36] about
[01:26:37] it
[01:26:37] logically
[01:26:37] because
[01:26:38] you know
[01:26:38] I'm
[01:26:38] a very
[01:26:39] logically
[01:26:39] driven
[01:26:39] person
[01:26:40] the
[01:26:40] award
[01:26:41] is
[01:26:41] the
[01:26:41] worst
[01:26:41] person
[01:26:42] to
[01:26:42] steal
[01:26:42] eyes
[01:26:42] from
[01:26:47] because
[01:26:48] if
[01:26:49] you're
[01:26:49] going
[01:26:49] to
[01:26:49] steal
[01:26:49] someone's
[01:26:50] eyes
[01:26:50] why
[01:26:51] would
[01:26:51] you
[01:26:52] steal
[01:26:52] the
[01:26:52] eyes
[01:26:52] of
[01:26:53] the
[01:26:53] person
[01:26:53] the
[01:26:54] only
[01:26:54] person
[01:26:54] who
[01:26:55] wears
[01:26:55] glasses
[01:26:57] that's
[01:26:58] so
[01:26:58] true
[01:26:59] it's
[01:27:00] such a
[01:27:00] like
[01:27:00] add
[01:27:00] insult
[01:27:01] to
[01:27:01] injury
[01:27:03] I
[01:27:11] this
[01:27:11] is
[01:27:11] the
[01:27:11] thing
[01:27:12] so
[01:27:12] I
[01:27:12] don't
[01:27:12] know
[01:27:12] if
[01:27:13] Imhotep
[01:27:13] knew
[01:27:14] what
[01:27:14] glasses
[01:27:14] were
[01:27:15] maybe
[01:27:15] he
[01:27:15] thought
[01:27:16] they
[01:27:16] were
[01:27:16] like
[01:27:16] oh
[01:27:17] you
[01:27:17] know
[01:27:18] they're
[01:27:18] just
[01:27:18] like
[01:27:18] fashion
[01:27:20] something
[01:27:20] I
[01:27:21] don't
[01:27:21] know
[01:27:21] and
[01:27:22] he's
[01:27:22] like
[01:27:22] fuck
[01:27:22] and
[01:27:23] then
[01:27:23] like
[01:27:24] he's
[01:27:24] got
[01:27:24] the
[01:27:24] eyes
[01:27:24] and
[01:27:24] he's
[01:27:25] like
[01:27:25] why
[01:27:25] is
[01:27:25] everything
[01:27:26] blurry
[01:27:26] like
[01:27:27] what's
[01:27:28] going
[01:27:28] on
[01:27:28] like
[01:27:29] why
[01:27:29] can't
[01:27:30] I
[01:27:30] see
[01:27:30] anything
[01:27:31] but
[01:27:31] I
[01:27:31] suppose
[01:27:32] like
[01:27:32] some
[01:27:32] eyes
[01:27:33] are
[01:27:33] better
[01:27:33] than
[01:27:33] no
[01:27:33] eyes
[01:27:34] but
[01:27:34] that
[01:27:34] award
[01:27:35] goes
[01:27:35] to
[01:27:35] Mr.
[01:27:36] who
[01:27:37] is
[01:27:37] the
[01:27:37] guy
[01:27:38] who
[01:27:39] had
[01:27:40] his
[01:27:41] eyes
[01:27:41] and
[01:27:41] actually
[01:27:42] his
[01:27:43] tongue
[01:27:43] also
[01:27:44] stolen
[01:27:44] and
[01:27:45] then
[01:27:45] he
[01:27:45] got
[01:27:45] his
[01:27:45] life
[01:27:46] force
[01:27:46] sucked
[01:27:46] out
[01:27:47] of
[01:28:02] so
[01:28:04] mine
[01:28:04] is
[01:28:05] kind
[01:28:06] of
[01:28:06] an
[01:28:06] obvious
[01:28:07] one
[01:28:07] but
[01:28:07] I
[01:28:07] also
[01:28:07] thought
[01:28:08] really
[01:28:08] hard
[01:28:08] about
[01:28:08] it
[01:28:09] and
[01:28:09] I
[01:28:09] like
[01:28:09] this
[01:28:09] one
[01:28:09] the
[01:28:10] best
[01:28:10] because
[01:28:10] I
[01:28:11] wanted
[01:28:11] to
[01:28:11] give
[01:28:11] an
[01:28:11] award
[01:28:12] to
[01:28:12] Evie
[01:28:12] and
[01:28:13] I
[01:28:14] think
[01:28:14] that
[01:28:14] hers
[01:28:15] is
[01:28:16] sort
[01:28:17] of
[01:28:17] a
[01:28:17] best
[01:28:17] worst
[01:28:18] so
[01:28:19] she
[01:28:19] has
[01:28:19] probably
[01:28:20] the
[01:28:20] worst
[01:28:21] workplace
[01:28:22] goof
[01:28:23] the
[01:28:24] worst
[01:28:24] workplace
[01:28:25] snafu
[01:28:25] that
[01:28:26] we've
[01:28:32] that
[01:28:32] ladder
[01:28:32] topples
[01:28:33] over
[01:28:34] that
[01:28:34] one
[01:28:35] bookcase
[01:28:35] and
[01:28:36] then
[01:28:36] they
[01:28:36] all
[01:28:36] go
[01:28:37] down
[01:28:37] like
[01:28:37] dominoes
[01:28:38] but
[01:28:39] it's
[01:28:39] also
[01:28:39] in
[01:28:40] the
[01:28:41] film
[01:28:41] but
[01:28:42] one
[01:28:42] of
[01:28:43] the
[01:28:43] best
[01:28:43] scenes
[01:28:43] and
[01:28:44] part
[01:28:44] of
[01:28:44] that
[01:28:45] is
[01:28:45] because
[01:28:45] it's
[01:28:46] not
[01:28:46] really
[01:28:46] necessary
[01:28:47] it
[01:28:47] doesn't
[01:28:48] drive
[01:28:48] the
[01:28:48] plot
[01:28:49] just
[01:28:50] to
[01:28:51] show
[01:28:51] us
[01:28:51] how
[01:28:51] you
[01:28:52] know
[01:28:52] adorable
[01:28:53] and
[01:28:53] clumsy
[01:28:53] Evie
[01:28:54] is
[01:28:54] she
[01:28:55] wrecks
[01:28:55] her
[01:28:55] whole
[01:28:56] library
[01:28:56] we
[01:28:57] never
[01:28:57] see
[01:28:57] it
[01:28:58] get
[01:28:58] fixed
[01:28:59] as
[01:29:00] far
[01:29:00] as we
[01:29:00] know
[01:29:00] it
[01:29:02] and
[01:29:02] as
[01:29:03] a
[01:29:03] librarian
[01:29:04] she
[01:29:04] would
[01:29:05] feel
[01:29:05] it
[01:29:05] a lot
[01:29:06] it's
[01:29:06] not
[01:29:07] just
[01:29:07] some
[01:29:07] random
[01:29:07] person
[01:29:08] wrecking
[01:29:08] a
[01:29:08] library
[01:29:09] she's
[01:29:09] like
[01:29:09] oh
[01:29:09] man
[01:29:10] yeah
[01:29:11] she
[01:29:11] doesn't
[01:29:11] get
[01:29:12] fired
[01:29:12] either
[01:29:12] even
[01:29:14] though
[01:29:14] it's
[01:29:14] literally
[01:29:14] her
[01:29:15] only
[01:29:15] job
[01:29:16] is
[01:29:17] to
[01:29:17] make
[01:29:17] sure
[01:29:18] that
[01:29:18] those
[01:29:18] books
[01:29:18] are
[01:29:19] not
[01:29:20] toppled
[01:29:20] over
[01:29:21] but
[01:29:22] also
[01:29:22] she
[01:29:22] does
[01:29:23] quite
[01:29:23] a
[01:29:32] she
[01:29:32] is
[01:29:32] the
[01:29:33] only
[01:29:33] person
[01:29:33] so
[01:29:33] she's
[01:29:34] in
[01:29:34] a
[01:29:34] job
[01:29:34] for
[01:29:34] life
[01:29:35] but
[01:29:36] also
[01:29:37] I
[01:29:37] love
[01:29:41] practical
[01:29:41] stuff
[01:29:42] that
[01:29:42] was
[01:29:42] like
[01:29:43] a
[01:29:43] one
[01:29:44] and
[01:29:44] done
[01:29:44] like
[01:29:45] they
[01:29:45] could
[01:29:45] only
[01:29:45] do
[01:29:45] that
[01:29:46] once
[01:29:46] and
[01:29:46] they
[01:29:46] did
[01:29:47] it
[01:30:02] a
[01:30:02] man
[01:30:02] because
[01:30:02] it's
[01:30:03] in
[01:30:03] the
[01:30:03] credits
[01:30:03] that
[01:30:04] the
[01:30:05] stunt
[01:30:05] was
[01:30:06] done
[01:30:06] by
[01:30:06] a
[01:30:06] man
[01:30:06] but
[01:30:07] it
[01:30:08] just
[01:30:08] don't
[01:30:09] look
[01:30:09] for
[01:30:09] that
[01:30:09] though
[01:30:10] as
[01:30:10] a
[01:30:10] female
[01:30:10] it's
[01:30:11] just
[01:30:11] one of
[01:30:12] those
[01:30:12] really
[01:30:12] lovely
[01:30:12] little
[01:30:12] things
[01:30:13] it's
[01:30:13] like
[01:30:13] the
[01:30:14] joy
[01:30:14] of
[01:30:14] movie
[01:30:15] making
[01:30:16] we
[01:30:16] need
[01:30:16] to
[01:30:17] find
[01:30:17] one
[01:30:17] person
[01:30:17] who
[01:30:17] can
[01:30:18] balance
[01:30:18] on
[01:30:18] a
[01:30:19] ladder
[01:30:19] can
[01:30:20] we
[01:30:20] find
[01:30:20] a
[01:30:20] woman
[01:30:20] no
[01:30:21] we
[01:30:21] can't
[01:30:22] okay
[01:30:22] I
[01:30:23] find
[01:30:23] a
[01:30:23] man
[01:30:23] and
[01:30:24] put
[01:30:24] a
[01:30:24] dress
[01:30:24] on
[01:30:24] him
[01:30:32] best
[01:30:33] mummy
[01:30:34] deterrent
[01:30:35] and
[01:30:35] it
[01:30:35] goes
[01:30:36] to
[01:30:36] the
[01:30:36] unnamed
[01:30:37] white
[01:30:38] cat
[01:30:38] yeah
[01:30:39] I
[01:30:40] love
[01:30:41] it

[01:30:51] the
[01:30:52] piano
[01:30:52] we
[01:30:53] haven't
[01:30:53] seen
[01:30:53] that
[01:30:53] since
[01:30:54] Aristocats
[01:30:55] we
[01:30:56] should
[01:30:56] give
[01:30:56] that
[01:30:57] cat
[01:30:57] a
[01:30:57] name

[01:31:00] the
[01:31:01] cat
[01:31:01] sure
[01:31:02] I
[01:31:03] was
[01:31:03] gonna
[01:31:03] go
[01:31:03] for
[01:31:03] like
[01:31:04] some
[01:31:04] ancient
[01:31:04] egyptian
[01:31:05] name
[01:31:05] to
[01:31:05] tie
[01:31:07] it
[01:31:07] into
[01:31:08] everything
[01:31:08] but
[01:31:09] camel

[01:31:10] cool
[01:31:10] camel
[01:31:11] the
[01:31:12] cat
[01:31:12] I
[01:31:12] just
[01:31:12] really
[01:31:13] like
[01:31:13] the
[01:31:13] camels
[01:31:14] in
[01:31:14] this
[01:31:14] movie
[01:31:16] there
[01:31:16] we
[01:31:16] go
[01:31:16] and
[01:31:17] I
[01:31:17] was
[01:31:17] so
[01:31:17] happy
[01:31:18] and
[01:31:18] I
[01:31:18] was
[01:31:18] like
[01:31:19] right
[01:31:19] I
[01:31:19] have
[01:31:19] two
[01:31:19] cats
[01:31:20] so
[01:31:20] I
[01:31:20] have
[01:31:20] double
[01:31:20] the
[01:31:21] mummy
[01:31:21] deterrent
[01:31:21] I'm
[01:31:22] safe
[01:31:23] in
[01:31:23] this
[01:31:24] economy
[01:31:24] you
[01:31:25] gotta
[01:31:25] have
[01:31:25] double
[01:31:25] well
[01:31:26] you're
[01:31:26] only
[01:31:27] safe
[01:31:27] though
[01:31:27] until
[01:31:28] he's
[01:31:28] fully
[01:31:28] regenerated
[01:31:29] so
[01:31:29] we
[01:31:29] just
[01:31:30] gotta
[01:31:30] make
[01:31:30] sure
[01:31:30] he
