‘The Mummy’ (1932), Universal Cinematic Reboot Discussion, Top 5 Movie Monsters

Welcome to Movie Time Machine, where this week in 1932, we are taking our time machine back. I mean WAY back. I mean, back to “ancient film history.” Before the MCU, before the franchises of Halloween and Friday the 13th, there was but a single cinematic shared universe: The Universal Monsters. Dracula, The Wolf Man, Frankenstein’s Monster and yes, The Mummy, ruled Hollywood. Boris Karloff is the Chris Evans of the Universal Monsters collective, moonlighting as TWO iconic creatures. Join your hosts Jamie and Chad as they revisit the legend of Karloff’s Imhotep, which they quickly abandon in favor of fixing the modern Universal Monsters’ attempt at a reboot. We finish by ranking our top 5 Monsters. Spoiler alert: Tom Cruise made neither of our lists. Join us!
