Grab your maps and your best adventuring hatâweâre heading to Hamunaptra! This episode, we revisit The Mummy (1999), the action-packed, horror-tinged romp that gave us peak Brendan Fraser, iconic Rachel Weisz librarian energy, and a whole lot of sand. Does this late-'90s classic still hold up, or is it buried under the weight of CGI scarabs and questionable Egyptology? More importantly, does it get even better with a little herbal enhancement? Join us as we unravel ancient curses, appreciate the sheer charisma of Fraser, and debate whether Imhotep was really that bad. Tune in and letâs see if this one is still treasure or just another dusty relic!

This week on High Expectations, we sink our teeth into two gothic horror heavyweights! We review and compare the brand-new Nosferatu with the lavish, blood-soaked Bram Stokerâs Dracula . How does Robert Eggersâ vision stack up against Coppolaâs operatic take? Does the silent terror of the original Nosferatu (1922) still haunt our nightmares? And what about the novel that started it all? We explore the eerie history behind these undead legendsâcopyright drama, artistic influences, and why Dracula just wonât stay buried.
