⚰️ The Mummy Review: Lee Cronin's Grotesque Take on a Classic Monster

More demonic than magical, Lee Cronin's The Mummy has atmosphere to burn and a mean-streak bigger than the Pyramids of Giza.


Friday Edition April 17, 2026


In partnership with

We’ve got a line-up off unlikely pairings for you in today’s newsletter, and none is quite like the others. In our review of Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, you’ll read all about the strange juxtaposition of a vengeful curse from modern-day Egypt and the horror of an unraveling American family in Albuquerque. It’s definitely not your traditional linen-wrapped stalker story!

Elsewhere, two Apple TV series give us odd couples that somehow work, against all expectation. First there’s Alex Poletov in an exclusive clip from For All Mankind, who, while trying to find his place in the future of Mars, gains the attention of one of the most powerful figures on the planet. And our interview with Nick Offerman and Thaddea Graham of Margo's Got Money Troubles will show exactly why the unusual pairing of Margo’s ex-wrestler father and her one remaining roommate somehow just works!

Opposites don’t just attract; they sometimes come together stronger and greater than the sum of their parts.
