We end Universal Monsters Abroad, a month where we look at movies featuring the classic monsters that aren't made by Universal, with one of the most disappointing films ever watched for this podcast: The Awakening. Starring Charlton Heston as an obsessed Egyptologist who finds the tomb of a cursed ancient Egyptian queen that may be trying to come back to life. It sounds way more entertaining than it ends up being; it is genuinely one of the most infuriating, confusing films we've come across.

Flick Attack's Rod Lott joins Chris to talk all about the film, Charlton Heston's performance, and its connection to Remington Steele.
