Lee Cronin's The Mummy
Summary
The Flop House hosts Dan McCoy, Stuart Wellington, and Elliot Kaelin review Lee Cronin’s horror film *The Mummy*.

The trio also discusses the film’s confusing narrative structure, questionable character reactions, and the awkward decision to brand it with the director’s name.
