Episode 234: Van Helsing — Кассета

We’re ending Season 9 and 2026 as a whole talking about a movie that attempts to recapture the magic of the late ‘90s adventure epic but doesn’t quite stick the landing with 2004’s Van Helsing . What Stephen Sommers was capable of achieving with The Mummy only 5 years prior just feels dead on arrival this time around as Hugh Jackman walks aimlessly around giant CG sets. But there are some nuggets of greatness here, and we discuss them all. Join us as we break down the movie, plus our thoughts on tossing salad, the movie’s pro-abortion stance, and a recap of what we learned this season. And remember: there are no Pokémon Go in Auschwitz. We’ll see you all on the other side of the new year for the Season 10 premiere in January! Van Helsing stars Samuel West, Kate Beckinsale, Hugh Jackman, Kevin J. O’Connor, Robbie Coltrane, Shuler Hensley, Richard Roxburgh, David Wenham, and Will Kemp. Directed by Stephen Sommers.
