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.
