Manoj Nelliyattu, "M. Night" Shyamalan has had one of Hollywood's most interesting stories that could well have come from one of his scripts. After two independent movies which amounted to little success, Shyamalan set the world afire with 1999's The Sixth Sense, which took critics off guard, gathering six Academy Award nominations and rolling to an almost $700 million box office take, making it the most successful horror film all the way until 2017, when It finally knocked it off. But after a financial and critical success such as that, where do you go from there? Join myself, Matt, and the returning Michael Guarnieri as we take the journey to answering that question, which we begin with The Sixth Sense and will eventually lead to Shyamalan's new film Old, scheduled for release this July.So where does one go when their one attempt at franchising a property completely bombs? Why, work with one of the most ego driven father/son duos of the 2000s of course. It would seem odd that M Night Shyamalan, the man who was well renown for his original stories, would take a project after being hand picked by Will Smith to take it on. With Smith coming up with the story and then eventually taking it into Tom Cruise's Oblivion territory by having it take place 1000 years in the future. But Smith's onset fighting with his son Jaden bled onto the screen, and despite hiding his name from all advertising, the movie was yet another bomb on Shyamalan's resume. But how do we feel about it?Join Matt, Mike, and myself as we go after Shyamalan's 2013 science fiction thriller After Earth. And be sure to join us next week as Matt and I once again welcome Alyx to continue our look at the Fast and Furious franchise, which will continue through the entire month of May.

The trailer to his producing project Devil was being laughed off screens, and Shyamalan was at a serious crossroads at what he was going to do next. It was when he saw his daughter dress as Katara from this film for Halloween that he realized what he wanted to do. After swearing off franchises for years, Shyamalan took on the challenge of doing a film based on one of Nickelodeon's most popular cartoons, Avatar: The Last Airbender. But wouldn't you know it? The film is still looked at as being one of the worst franchise films in history. But how do we feel?Join Matt, Mike, and myself as we look at M Night Shyamalan's most notorious and peculiar bomb, 2010's The Last Airbender.

In 2008, he made his most infamous movie, and that movie was The Happening. Originally conceived by Shyamalan as his first R rated film, the movie has come under almost universal derision from critics and audiences around the world, including those who run this site. But is it actually underrated?Join myself, Matt, and Mike as we discuss the movie that somehow made the name M Night Shyamalan into an even bigger punchline around the world.The Happening (2008) (?/10, ?/10, ?/10)CLICK ABOVE TO LISTEN NOW!Subscribe to Binge Cast on iTunes

The days of him being proclaimed the 'New Spielberg' were far behind him. Yet that didn't keep him from attempting a modern retelling of E.T. Beginning as a bedtime story he wrote for his children, Shyamalan wrote a script based on his own story convinced that Disney would put it in lights and proclaim him a genius. Yet, that didn't happen. Executives at the Mouse House rejected it in droves. So Night took his ball to Warner Bros, convinced that he would be able to stuff his talent in Disney's faces. However, he ended up falling on on his face, and Lady in the Water ended up only grossing a little over $40 million stateside. Is this flop warranted?Listen in as myself, Matt, and Mike have one of the Binge Movie Aftertaste's most animated discussions about one of M Night Shyamalan's most infamous projects.
