Welcome back for part 2 of The Mummy!! 

Last we left off, we took a deep dive into the year 1999 and discussed how this massive blockbuster came together!

And just like most 90s blockbusters, the production of this movie was a dangerous and deadly process.

The cast wasn’t the only heat involved, they filmed this movie in the Sahara desert in the middle of the summer, and since it was a movie filmed in the 90s, everybody almost died!!

Tune in for: The rise and fall of Brendan Fraser and then the “Brenaissance”, super hot 90s movie stars in the desert, undead priests and an ancient Egyptian affair, AND MORE in this episode of Film History: The History Of Film!!!!

Hello film history fans, today we have something a little bit different for you guys. As you may have noticed over the last couple weeks Dev has been off on some mysterious assignments well today he is back from his trip to Egypt and ready to tell us all about what he's been up to. It's not necessarily a Film History episode but there's definitely some Egyptian history tucked away in here and just overall a pretty interesting story about an unusual trip. We'll be back with our regular content  next week but for now enjoy this laid-back discussion about ancient ruins. Since its a lower key episode we went real light on the sound effects or overall editing, think of this week as a much deserved vacation for the film history crew. Thank you all!

A  young man aged 24 is a rising star in Hollywood, even signing a 1 million dollar contract with Warner Brothers. His career instantly became white hot, and would almost as instantly make him a historic figure when his life is tragically cut short in a shiny new racecar speeding down a California highway.
