Pick Six Movies

Is 2017’s “The Mummy” a remake? A reboot? A reinvention? Well, we do know that it is Episode 3 of this season’s theme “Monsters Are Universal” where we are looking at more recent interpretations of classic Universal monster movies. This was the film set to launch a shared “Dark Universe”. We answer the questions does the movie succeed? Does it fail? Would casting Nick Nolte and Steve Buschemi have made it better. The answers are absolutely not, in almost every frame and unquestionably yes.

What is Pick Six Movies?

Pick Six Movies is a movie podcast where each season we select six movies, all related to a single theme. We examine the history of the people in front of and behind the camera, try to make sense of how and why the movie was made, then discuss each one in way too much detail to see if they are any good.
Pick Six Movies is hosted by Bo Ransdell and Chad Cooper, two life-long friends with a shared passion for discussing things they barely understand in an attempt to make each other laugh.
