Ep. 63 - The Phantom of the Opera

This week, we journey to an isolated community where members live in constant fear of the creatures inhabiting the surrounding woods. Questions abound: why is this cast so stacked? Who thought Adrian Brody’s character was a good idea? How great are Joaquin Phoenix and Bryce Dallas Howard? And is this movie the beginning of M. Night Shyamalan’s downward spiral, or a misunderstood masterpiece? Grab your yellow cloak, watch out for the red berries, and for heaven’s sake stay out of the forest while we discuss the dreamlike romantic-horror-fable THE VILLAGE (2004).
