The Mummy Theme Park (2000) Review

In this season finale of the Mummy Movie Podcast, we examine the 2000 film The Mummy Theme Park, a bizarre film in which an Egyptian sheikh combines Egyptian mummies with animatronics and brain chips to bring them back to life.

As well as reviewing the film, we also use it as a jumping-off point to explore one of the greatest ancient Egyptian celebrations: the Opet Festival. What exactly was the Opet Festival, and what would it have been like to witness it firsthand?
