Hi, love birds! 🕊️This is the first episode of our Valentine’s Specials, and we’re talking about the 1999 adventure film ‘The Mummy’, directed by Stephen Sommers. 🛕🐫🏺🦂

Finally, we discuss how this movie functions as a nostalgia watch, as well as its negative portrayal of Arabic people as stereotypical stock characters.
