The Mummy Returns (2001) Halloween Special - CGI-Whinge Fest

FilmFloggers

Ben from FilmFloggers and Sean from Review It Yourself team up to take on a topic that will undoubtedly endear them to listeners' and other podcaster's hearts: CGI.

The expected 30-minute run time turns out to be wildly ambitious for these waffling pair of c---- (retracted by Sean).
Ben and Sean try to understand why CGI has become as prevalent as it has by taking on some of the worst CGI imaginable.
