Today we close out September’s theme of Remakes That Nobody Asked For with 2017’s Alex Kurtzman-helmed The Mummy starring Tom Cruise, Russell Crowe, and the always AMAZING Sofia Boutella in the title role. With what was to launch Universal's long term plans of updating the world with their classic Universal Monsters in the guise of the aptly named Dark Universe, which was announced just as The Mummy was being released, a lot was riding on it's success.

Just when you think we’ve already covered our least favorite movie of this month’s theme of Remakes That Nobody Asked For, 2005’s The Amityville Horror says “hold my demonic beer.” And, yes, that 25:37 runtime IS accurate. This is the shortest movie episode you’ll ever hear from us. Ever. Promise. So, sit back and grab a cold one. (Not a Tall Boy because you won’t finish it before the episode is over.)   As always, and maybe even more than ever, here are some mental health resources for North America: United States https://www.mentalhealth.gov/get-help/immediate-help https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ The Suicide Hotline phone number has been changed.
