Time is ticking away on The Lobby, and we aren’t just talking about the runtime. This week, Marley continues his ambitious journey through the twisty and polarizing filmography of M. Night Shyamalan with a look at the 2021 supernatural thriller, Old.

To help navigate the rapid aging and existential dread of "The Beach That Makes You Old," Marley welcomes back a familiar voice and fan favorite, Peyton from The Apple Box Chronicles. Together, they dive deep into whether the film's high-concept premise holds up under the magnifying glass or withers under the tropical sun. The conversation explores Shyamalan’s unique visual language, analyzing the jarring cinematography and specific framing choices that have come to define this era of his career.

Marley and Peyton also tackle the inevitable spoiler-filled discussion regarding the film’s ending, debating whether the big reveal landed a knockout punch or felt like a swing and a miss. From the theatrical dialogue to the performances of Gael García Bernal and Vicky Krieps, no stone is left unturned. Whether you think Old is a misunderstood masterpiece of "B-movie" camp or just a vacation gone wrong, pull up a chair in the lobby and join the conversation.
