It's time to enter a VERY different world of Mummies and Monsters-join us for another cursed episode of Podcast Assemble. Tommy’ recommends the 2025 adaptation of Stephen King's seminal The Long Walk (grim, thoughtful, and about as festive as a funeral—perfect Easter viewing), while DL has finally started Slow Horses and is now wondering what took him so long. Then it’s onto Lee Cronin’s The Mummy (2026)—because apparently we’re digging this franchise up again… but this time, it bites back.

Main Topic:

Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) ditches the swashbuckling charm and replaces it with something far nastier. This is less Brendan Fraser adventure, more ancient-evil-will-end-you horror. Lee Cronin leans fully into body horror, turning dusty tombs into claustrophobic nightmares and resurrecting the Mummy as something genuinely unsettling. Tommy appreciated the tonal shift - finally, some real stakes. DL was less impressed...

Is Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) the reinvention the franchise needed—or just another cursed reboot waiting to be sealed away again? Let us know at [email protected] or hit us up on socials.
