This week we meditate and reflect on faith, loss, grief, and yes I suppose how silly it is that they save the day with a couple glasses of water and a baseball bat.

Signs is kind of the Joker 2 of M. Night Shyamalan movies if you really think about it. Trust me, the signs are out there.

In which we try desperately to not talk about Trap so much... and fail.

I know we've said that previous movies were the thing that really tells us who Shyamalan is as an auteur, but for real you guys, this is it.

While this movie was dull, irritating, and a complete slog to watch, it might just be the most important movie we've watched so far for this project. The key that unlocks the box with the bigger key that unlocks the mysteries of Shyamalan...

Join us this week for the M Night's world-renowned B-movie schlockfest Attack of the Killer Plants. DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN.

Marvel at the thrilling on-screen action of... Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel wandering aimlessly around Central PA farmlands and getting into awkward relationship disputes.

I will say though.. some of these line reads are truly unmatched and will bounce around my noggin for the rest of my days.

M. Night Shyamalan (c. 2010) walked so that M. Night Shyamalan (c. 2024) could run.

*Doing my best Commander Zhao impression, which is not very good..."

"As you know, our last episode had to be divided into two pieces because we had too many opinions. And as you know, Hans still hasn't seen this entire series. We present to you now the second half of our take on this 15 year-old movie which, as you know, sucks."

Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Not too terribly long ago, but long enough ago to make us all feel old, the world was convinced that live-action adaptations of beloved children's media were necessary (Wait... that is still the case). Nickelodeon called on M Night Shyamalan to make such an adaptation. But when he needed his talent the most... it vanished!

Yeah, this is gonna be a two-parter. The original recording is over two-and-a-half-hours long. See you next time, Team Avatar!

Oops I did it again.

This time instead of rambling off the cuff I sat down and wrote 5 and a half pages on some of my thoughts, because... you know.. I'm a card carrying member of the elite cultural intelligentsia class. Right?

I start off by comparing the 2022 film Barbarian thematically and stylistically to Shyamalan's oeuvre thus far; and then I go on a tangent unpacking some of the gender politics and depictions of masculinity in the film which we all know people are super chill about in the year of our Lord 2025 so buckle up I guess.

I set this one to drop exactly a week later at 2:17 am again even though that reference doesn't even make sense for this movie, but what are ya gonna do?

Hey all, Zach here.

In a sad attempt to pretend at being like a real movie podcaster/reviewer I went rogue and solo watched a movie and recorded my thoughts on it while it's still in its opening weekend. Aaron and especially Hans weren't that interested in watching this, so sometimes you just gotta roll up your sleeves and take care of business on your own.

But like, I kinda non-specifically relate it to the works of M. Night Shyamalan we have watched thus far, so I have some excuse to drop this in the main feed.

Hopefully this is a fun surprise for all, my co-hosts included. Not sure if most podcast apps display the release time in addition to the release date, so just know that I set this to release at 2:17 am because I'm funny like that.

Strong recommend from me, go watch this one while it's still playing at your local picture house!

We all know After Earth was... shall we say, not well received. I really wanted to find something redeeming about it. I really wanted to end up with a more interesting opinion. I really, really did.

Unfortunately, that just didn't happen. This movie absolutely blows.

We have so much to say about this one, like trust me bro, if anything almost way too many thoughts and opinions we're just dying to share. We wouldn't be the pros we are if that weren't the case. If we ran out of things to say like 20 minutes in and then spent just as much time talking about something unrelated like Henry Cavill or something... we'd look like a bunch of amateurs or something.

Spoiler alert: it's not Diet Twin Peaks like at least one of us expected going in; it's like a Truman Show/Lost/CW Network blend.
