RM Virtues joined us to recap The Mummy! Jenny got to watch this Romancelandia favorite film for the first time and it was a delight!

We fangirl over R.M., discuss why this film is in fact a tri-awakening rather than a bi-awakening, and generally flail at the magnitude of bonkers this swashbuckling romp pulls off.

For proof that Jenny did in fact once wear suspenders made of bondage tape out in Vegas...or for links to the books we discussed, check the show notes on our website!
