Our 2001 Summer Movie Season Counter Programming Wars begins. In one corner, we have The Mummy Returns. A big hit sequel to a big hit remake, Brendan Fraser leads a charismatic cast through London, the desert, and the jungle as the mummy... returns. In the other corner, we have A Knight's Tale, a "Welcome to Hollywood" party for the late great Heath Ledger, headlining his own movie, complete with jousting, generic rock songs, and Paul Bettany's naked butt. We discuss our memories of these films as kids, what makes a good action movie, our love of Brendan Fraser, Oded Fehr, Heath Ledger, Mark Addy & Rufus Sewell, and why these films both made an impression on viewers, the box office, and the world.
