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.It's finally here. After seven months of build up, Old, the cultivation of the Binge Movie Aftertaste M Night Shyamalan Retrospective, has hit theaters. But it almost didn't. After reading the graphic novel Sand Castle, which was given to him by his daughter, Shyamalan saw a story both in the book and out of it that he wanted to tell. But road blocks, which came in the form of everything from Covid to hurricanes, were in his way. But M Night persevered. And the question is, is the result of all that work made by the M Night who had an ego the size of the ocean in this movie? Or is this humbled M Night, a man who is still trying to prove himself after being beaten down by both audiences and critics alike? And how much will Matt hate it? After all, we know what resulted the last time M Night adapted someone else's work.Listen below as our Old review is finally here. And be sure to keep listening to the end as we reveal some things that are coming up on this show later on in the year (yes that was a hint).
