Episode 4: Signs

We’ve finally made it. Though we’ve aged a couple years since we started this journey, we’re knocking on your cabin door one last time. Join us as we close out our trip through the many worlds of M. Night.

Beware the Pothole. You’ll learn why if you listen in to this episode of Shameless Shyamalan! We go a little technical on this one, as we tend to do with movies we’re not the biggest fans of. That doesn’t mean there aren’t interesting things to discuss though, we still love us some M. Night! Prepare for the end with the penultimate (for now) episode of our journey. Note: this is the last episode that was recorded last year. We reference Knock at the Cabin at the end which has now come out! Stay tuned for a special final episode!

After a bit of a hiatus, we’re back with the latest episode of Shameless Shyamalan! This time, we cover Split, the movie that launched our man back into the spotlight, and there’s a lot we have to say about it as both a film and as another touchpoint in the Shyamalan story. Note: sorry for the audio issues in this one, not sure what happened, but I amended some of the more confusing instances with some voiceover, hopefully to your amusement. (Also, this episode was recorded over a year ago, so some references may be a bit outdated. A whole new Shyamalan movie came out while we’ve been away!)

Visit the realm of Shyamalan with us once again and try to keep the deep-darkies away as we cover this first entry in a new age of M. Night. YAHTZEE!

So we arrive at last: on this special double feature episode we tackle two of the most hated movies, not just of Shyamalan’s career, but of all time. We try our very best to love them as Shyamalan fans, but is there a limit to our devotion? Listen in to find out.

Something’s Happening… a much-maligned entry in the Shyamalan legacy finally receives its due justice. Follow us into a world where the plants can fight back, and a film that, like many others featured on Nostalgia Critic, truly did not deserve the internet hate.

Calling all Narfs, Scrunts, and other Shyamalan creatures! This week we’re talking about Lady in the Water, and you may be surprised what treasures you find beneath the grate at the bottom of the metaphorical swimming pool that is this episode.

Crossover! Our special guest Tim Rasmussen from the PopViolence podcast takes us on a trip through peacebuilding theory, theology, and an examination of the violence we experience and create, all through the lens of The Village. If you enjoy our discussion here, be sure to check out PopViolence for more thoughtful analysis of violence as portrayed through film.

On this episode, our hands are outstretched, trusting that you’ll be here to listen to us talk about The Village. (Like our discussion, that’ll make a lot more sense if you’ve seen the movie.)

On this episode we have lots of love to give to Signs, the Shyamalan film that holds a special place in all of our hearts. Lionel Pritchert and the Wolfington brothers guest star.
