This week on the I Hate Critics Movie Review Podcast, we unwrap a mix of horror, character-driven storytelling, and a true cinematic classic!
The Mummy (2026)
Directed by Lee
Cronin
Lee Cronin brings a fresh, likely more visceral take to one of
Universal’s most iconic monsters. We discuss how this new version
stacks up against past iterations and whether it successfully
breathes new (or undead) life into The Mummy franchise.
Normal
A grounded and intimate story that explores the complexities of everyday life and identity. We break down its themes, performances, and whether “normal” is ever really attainable.
Lorne
A character-focused film that dives into the life and psyche of its central figure. We discuss what works, what doesn’t, and how the film handles its subject matter.
Classic Feature: The Mummy (1932)
Directed by Karl
Freund
Starring Boris Karloff
We travel back to the origins of cinematic horror with the original
The Mummy. Anchored by
Boris Karloff’s unforgettable performance, this atmospheric classic
set the tone for decades of monster movies to come.
