The Mummy was Kelsey's Bi Awakening | Guilty Pleasures Ep. 95

[@FlagCutie]

Kelsey inadvertently almost quoting Anakin Skywalker about sand is hilarious!

[@kyris66]

I mean, wasn't it everybody's bi awakening? There's this meme that goes: "My sexuality is the cast of the 1999 The Mummy" and it's pretty accurate.

[@justsophia22]

The fact that I can relate to Kelsey so hard just from the title is everything I needed.

[@hrhr6769]

I read it and literally said out loud “oh duh same” and immediately clicked 😂

[@antigua26]

Sameee

[@leoniemoats7467]

Same thooo

[@ridgemom4092]

My name is Kelsey and when I saw the title I was, damn. I feel seen.

[@meganfeddor4107]

this film is 10000000% my comfort film. i have rewatched it so many times, and i'm not even sorry about it. (and kelsey is right, DEF my bisexual awakening as well.) also, kelsey singing the used in 2023 is a HELLA MOOD.

[@desirai_t9429]

I feel like this movie really solidified that Kelsey pays more attention to the movies when she watches them. I couldn’t believe how many things the boys missed or didn’t get something. I was literally screaming at the screen, thank you Kelsey for being a real one!

[@fortheloveofcomet]

Totally agree! I was like the things they were saying make no sense/were for no reason WERE explained 😂

[@llamachai]

The way I DIED when Garrick proudly said "Halo!" and Kelsey immediately took back her compliment 😂 Literally me with my girlfriends when I reference anything smart from a video game.

[@andreayg0]

You guys saying this was a scary movie is crazy to me, this was a movie that was put on for me and my cousins to entertain when we were 5 for the adults to drink and we LOVED it. To this day it’s still one of my favs. Thank you for this episode!

[@hp6964]

Definitely not scary lmao. I remember watching it at like 7 for the first time and loving it

[@arianaelena1723]

this movie is the reason why i am going to school to be a librarian, the cultural impact of this movie oh my god

[@francis2fly]

You need to watch Mummy 2. Rachel Wiesz is descended from the pharoah. She is royalty.

[@anonymixx8106]

If the mummy was my bisexual awakening, the mummy 2 was my lesbian awakening 🤣

[@parkerlynne]

Glad you brought that up. Even from the first movie I thought it was pretty apparent that Rachel is the princess/daughter of the pharaoh and the other woman is the concubine/stepmom who is cheating on him with Imhotep.

[@liamfoley6963]

Please do Mummy returns, it's much goofier but more fun in my opinion.

[@gopher8288]

Thanks for the impromptu Kelsey's rendition of the used "I caught fire"

[@LauraW102]

This movie started my love for history; I majored in History, Minor in Art History, I did a study of Egyptian Art.

[@bethsnow3435]

I wish ya'll could have done Fraser February! He deserves a month.

[@annavale3971]

The Mummy and The Holiday are two films I watch AT LEAST once a year.

[@Savi4848]

saw the title and screamed. this is about to be my new favorite episode of guilty pleasures

[@captjames19]

WHAT?!?! YES!!! Mummy!!! Bisexual awakening 🔥🤘🏻♥️ (Fun fact for M2: they gave the animation team less than two weeks to render the scorpion king in that final scene. Time management - it’s important kids)

[@PokhrajRoy.]

GARRICK SCORCHING OUR SCREENS with “It’s a White ‘Precious’.” 🔥

[@deserabailey8500]

The 2nd one i really liked too! The part where Brendan Frazier says "being a dad is HARD" and the kid goes "yeah, but you do it real good" Makes me cry every time hahaha You guys should DEF do the 2nd one!!! I know Garrick will hate all of us though...

[@kelbimckinley8042]

Zach mentioning The Goonies made me realize how much I NEED to hear them discuss it.

[@cassidean6423]

First, Zach gets married. Then, the Chiefs bring the Lombardi home to KC. Now, Monday with Guilty Pleasures AND THE MUMMY!? Fuck yeah.

[@luckiid1345]

My departed mom dealt with a lot of chronic pain at nighttime and she watched this to go to sleep. It was her fav 🥹

Screaming support for Kelsey singing The Used! 🖤

[@tat-cb3wk]

i was singing along with her! hahaha

[@JordanA71009]

@@tat-cb3wk haha me too!!

[@valeriecrook]

I am SCREAMING at minute 40. The Mummy and The Mummy Returns are my favorite movies of all time. And the thing is that it’s appropriate that they win on accident or in silly ways because it’s their CHOICES that are ridiculed. They have a woman on their team (which also, I think it’s so misogynistic bc it’s supposed to technically be a period piece in like the 30s), they ended up with camels, they have a criminal and a goofy brother. They’re “losing” bc they’re constantly making the dumb choice (reading from the book of the dead bc you just freaking love books so much) or they’re making the choice that is looked down upon by the culture at the time (listening to Evie ever bc she’s a woman). It’s not supposed to be Indiana Jones, it’s the 1999 Mummy with Brendan Frazer and that’s exactly what it’s supposed to be and I love it

[@carlyhagen6347]

The Mummy and The Used in one episode?!? Top tier content

[@ohlookitstonia]

Words can't express how excited I was when I saw that y'all were finally covering this absolute masterpiece. This film is a gem, and Brendan Fraser is a national treasure ✨

[@kalebzerger301]

lol watching Kelsey unconsciously play with her hair while talking about how hot the actors are, she ready to flirt

[@zerocraic3966]

I feel like Kelsey and I have the same type. Every person she gets blushed over, I’m like yea dude I get it

[@KelseyDarragh]

Facts

[@itsme_taylorlee]

The Mummy will always be one of my favorite movies. It’s amazing. I’ve always loved Egyptology and it’s tickled my little heart to see my George of the Jungle, Encino Man playing an adventurous protector of ancient Egyptian relics, curses and ugh! I need to watch tonight.

[@sarapowers8827]

I immediately knew I Caught Fire when Kelsey started singing. The whole episode was a nostalgia trip

[@Sydney.yendyS]

Zach is so right. The Mummy ride at Florida is AMAZING. Nothing else compares.

[@connerolmedo888]

Yes Kelsey our emo QUEEN coming at us with The Used. No choice but to Stan

[@pietarivuola]

Please consider doing an episode on the masterpiece that is Blades of Glory

[@katieh1269]

This is one of my favorite episodes so far!! So many random elements of childhood thrown in and then Kelsey singing the used = best Monday I have had in a while! Thank you for doing what you guys do!!

[@angelinahong4813]

Omg yesssss this movieeeeee….this made me want to be an Egyptologist in middle school🤣🤣❤️

[@queenk-ia2862]

Fuck I loved this entire franchise growing up. This one specifically was one of my distraction movies as a kid. Parents put it on and I didn't move an inch🤣

[@Chantaya]

The scarabs to this day still haunts me too. Patricia and Rachel fighting scene awoke something in me as a child. It was on TV all the time on ITV for all the Brits.

[@Rocketpt2]

Kels singing the used is magic to me

[@eyeseajujubee]

This movie terrified me as a kid with the insects and the sandstorm but it was also my bisexual awakening even though I didn’t realize it till later.

[@preciousonejewel]

i love how zach was talking about how out of style rachels eyebrows were.. meanwhile us teenagers in the 90s were plucking the living shit out of our eyebrows to get that same look because it was the only way to look in style

[@mckennadugan6094]

I JUST WATCHED THIS LAST NIGHT AND THOUGHT "this would be an amazing guilty pleasure ep ... Too bad they'll never see my suggestion" IM PISSING MYSELF

[@itsme_taylorlee]

Oh, I had the hots for Imhotep when I was younger lol. Brendan Fraser too, of course, but can’t believe that dig at Imhotep.

[@itsme_taylorlee]

Ok, I’ve gotten further and Kelsey and Garrick spoke up for Imo’s fine self. 😂😂

[@haleykNCIS]

I feel like they missed so many points about this movie. Like there’s a reason, the guy in the plane wanted to die. There’s a reason there is an army in the desert. There’s a reason everything is lucky. It’s supposed to be fate. I hope they do the second movie and analyze it a little closer Because they missed so many tiny details.

[@Candies1Creations]

Not Garrett being traumatized by The Mummy lmao

[@stephaniepatterson3959]

The Mummy was my sexual awakening. Glad to know I wasn't the only one!

[@blackrose4289]

Ok, Love the movie, love the podcast, great ep, glad you guys are doing video. Now I'm going to use my one allowed Um, Actually for the day, and say it's Fray-zer, not Fray-zher. Fraser, not Frasier. If you're trying to pronounce it like the tv show, it's wrong. That's all, pedantic moment over, keep up the great work guys!

[@jlzombiecat]

I could not for the life of me figure out how to write that it is not Frasier, Fray-zher. Thank you lol.

[@emiliamarie87]

I was looking for this comment!

[@muniraaa]

The Mummy, Jurassic Park, and Night at the Museum were some of the BEST movies from my childhood!! I still watch them all prettyyy frequently. Excited for this one! 🫶🏽

[@madisonwarehime1140]

40:39 the race wasn’t pointless. They had a bet with the Americans on who could get to the city first

[@alliebeastwoman1]

Kelsey breaking out with The Used. Loved it.

My modern dance instructor at my college had us read On Writing by Stephen King and it is so so useful for every type of creative!

[@hailey7368]

I don't think they could've casted better for this movie. Everyone was perfect 👌 also this was when I developed my first ever crush, Brendan Fraser 😍

[@Bropez87]

Kelsey singing the Used is everything

[@donaldwert7137]

This was the first DVD I ever got, for my first DVD player in 2002. I hadn't seen it, but I wanted to and it was the first movie I watched while recovering from surgery. I think the misogyny was a deliberate portrayal of the attitudes at the time with no candy coating or revisionism and it allowed the character of Evie (Rachel Weisz) to kick it in the teeth. I love it and it's so much a guilty pleasure.

[@AmberLily514]

They raced to the city because they had a bet to see who got there first. And the camels won because camels are faster than horses

[@hailey7368]

Yes! I was literally yelling at my computer that they made a bet on the boat that they were trying to see who would get there first!

[@Rocketpt2]

So I grew up in Calgary Alberta and there's a movie theater there that was built or renovated for this movie, Garrick wouldn't be able to handle it cause there's all the bugs from the film in giant form all over the place.

[@zerocraic3966]

It’s why I hate that theatre! My brother came to visit (lived there in my 20s, post mummy exposure) and he noted how it kinda looks like a bad background from the mummy 🤣🤣 we love this film. And I didn’t realize til your comment that it is indeed The Mummy is directly responsible for what it looks like. Took me a couple visits to not get chills in that lobby🤣

[@Meganb1286]

Aw man from It Takes Two to The Mummy 🥴 love this pod see y’all next week

Zach you’re right about the mummy ride

this podcast has become my newest obsession, may i present some movies i would love to see you talk about... - Mean Girls (2004) - Aquamarine (2006) - Juno (2007) - The House Bunny (2008) - 21 Jump Street (2012)

One of my favorite movies!!! Could watch it over and over again.

Kelsey bursting into a song by The Used and me singing along🤣

[@emilylouwhoo]

I just recently watched The Mummy for the first time. I had avoided it for years because I thought it was an action flick. Boy, I was so glad to be wrong. I was so pleased with how campy it wasn’t 10/10. 100% pure pleasure.

[@aliyah6943]

This is the I have watched the most in my life, hands down.

[@tiffanyshuler2001]

I have been waiting for an episode on this movie since you all started this podcast! Literally my favorite movie ever!

[@EvWuzhere]

my best friend and i took acid and before the come up i mentioned i had never seen precious and she was like "what? We have to watch it" so this fully hit us as we were watching precious and i totally havent thought about it until today

[@gracel9080]

Kelsey just GETS MEEEE

[@TheBlackDemon1996]

As much as it sucks, the sexism is historically accurate. Because that's what matters in a movie where a 1000-year-old mummy comes back to life and inflicts the ten plagues upon Egypt.

[@courtnieeeee]

I’ve been dying to see you guys talk about this movie!! It’s my favorite

[@sighhAYSzG5AG]

May I suggest some chaotic comedies: Macgruber and Wet Hot American Summer

[@Aleeshia]

It’s pronounced Frazer, and we’re all guilty for many years.

[@traceyedits]

oh shit garrick! I've never heard someone else talk about having that particular phobia, i feel seen! swarm is a good word, I've never used to describe it before. I used 'angry mobs' as my umbrella term for any and all types of scenes where a large amount of something goes after a smaller/single something with bad intent. so yeah angry mobs, zombies, locusts all that shit deeply unsettles me. im going to start using swarm now

[@MeganBurr]

I full agree with Garrick on his fears

[@austinnickell2561]

Is Kelsey the Anakin Skywalker of the podcast. I hate the sand, it's hot, it hurts you. Sounding a little familiar there...

[@zerocraic3966]

she’s referring to why she thinks Garrett hates sand🤣 I feel for him. I knew someone otherwise very laid back who would shiver terribly when she saw polar/tundra things on tv and it distracted her from watching the movie. If I hated bugs and heat and sand, this movie would be a hurdle🤣

[@crit_bot]

I love this movie, this IS my childhood, and I am so ready for this podcast.

[@mygirl737g2]

shoutout to dueling dragons! after watching this as a teen I went to school with so much eyeliner on, it's 90's magic - accept, adapt, & overcome quickly; on cartoons - 90's cartoons are playing off of troupes from the 50's so yes, misogynistic but funny

[@Jena_McLean]

i let out a very real sigh of relief when you named how fatphobic 'the whale' is, thank you for that! if anyone is curious to learn more, roxane gay's opinion piece 'the cruel spectacle of the whale' is really informative. it's so exciting that brendan fraser is returning to the spotlight, but i wish it had been another project.

[@Hello_Kristie]

Yesss! Amen! I hit play with one eye open afraid of that convo, but I was really pleasantly surprised.

[@tigristhelynx7224]

Being out of hollywood for so long, I'm wondering if it's the only gig that was ever offered to him. I'm just so glad he's back, no matter what film he's in. Bring him back out into the spotlight and give him all the praise. He's been through so much, it's really tragic.

[@mjl7214]

kelsey was singing I Caught Fire by The Used

[@sanneannelies843]

Yes Kelsey!!! Also my bi awakening!!! Still to this day love both of them. This is one of my favorite movies of all time!!! ❤️❤️ classic

[@mactaculer]

If you guys want some hot Brendan Frasier movie action, may I present to you "Blast from the Past." It is CRIMINALLY underrated. Sexy Brendan Frasier moments: 1. Brendan Frasier ripping open a torn hole in Alicia Silverstone's pants and blowing on a cut on her knee. 2. Brendan Frasier swing dancing with two ladies at the height on the swing dance trend in the 90s. Fun bonuses: Christopher Walken and Sissy Spacek play Brendan Frasier's stuck-in-the-50s parents. 2. Fantastic 90s indie rock soundtrack 3. SUPER funny!!! I could not recommend this movie enough. You guys, please, please, PLEASE review this movie on the pod. I'm telling you--you will LOVE it!!!!! It's so wonderful.

[@codysmola7665]

Did Kelsey just unknowingly quote Anakin Skywalker about the disdain for sand?

[@jlzombiecat]

I bought this movie on VHS when it was brand new, wore out the tape then got the DVD. I can see it perfectly in my head just listening to it, I've seen it so many times. One of a handful of my comfort movies. I just watched both one and two in the last couple weeks. Rachel Weisz getting new clothes before they go into the desert and so many other times..... so gorgeous. Brendan Fraser and Oded Fehr.... ooooo my..... I'm so happy Brendan has been looking so much happier recently, I've always loved him. Also, I recently saw him mention that everyone mispronounces his last name. It is Fraser with a "zer" sound, not Frasier. I still can't look mummy Imhotep in the face or I end up jumpy and might have a nightmare. Human face Imhotep though...

[@lukedanvers32]

[@claudskal37]

This was the movie they chose for MOVIE IN THE PARK….I was 4 or 5 and RAN about THREE blocks back home screaming because I was so traumatized by this movie… My mom said I was silent when I left and it became a shrilling scream the farther and farther I got in the crowd then to the street. This is a core memory lmfaooo Garrick made me feel so valid, I understand you completely hun. This was NOT a campy silly movie. Don’t get me started on the Florida universal ride either cause that was just relived trauma hahahahahahah

[@TheShauNanigans]

The fact that I knew every single "In Your Eyes" song all three of them were referring to makes me feel extremely seen.

[@BecauseWereWorthIt]

I had a huge crush on the main cast but Johnathan the brother was chef's kiss

[@deserabailey8500]

OMG I love the mummy SO MUCH that this year for my birthday I had a mummy marathon. Its funny though this movie never scared me or scarred me as a kid! And im a BIG baby, i have never watched a horror movie in my life, cant do it. But this movie i always LOVED! i loved the scarabs too, i was a HUGE bug nerd and i found them fascinating and did lots of research on them when i was a kid.

[@JenniferNightingale]

Evie was definitely my bi awakening! They went with the super thin eyebrows because the movie was set in the 1920s (or 30s? It's been a while since I've seen it.) So happy for the Brendan Fraser Renaissance 💖
