Continuing to keep audiences guessing what his next film will be...Shyamalan shifted away from aliens and into the past with his quasi-creature feature, The Village. No one assumed Shyamalan's next film would tackle a period piece, nevertheless, he assembled a major all-star cast in this mystery, thriller with (in Corbin's opinion) his best twist since The Sixth Sense. Unfortunately, due to deceptive marketing audiences and critics turned on this film. 15 years later--Allen and Corbin go in blind with zero expectations...so does the film work better all these years later without the marketing? Join Corbin and Allen as they journey into Covington woods and beyond the forbidden forest to find out!
Question after the show: What did you think of the twist in The Village (no spoilers please!) and did it affect your viewing experience today or in 2004? Comment below!

Following up his groundbreaking successful hit, The Sixth Sense, M. Night Shyamalan returned to the silver screen with something a bit different--no not a family, comedy movie or a ghost, thriller...instead he made a superhero movie. Retaining his newfound signature style from The Sixth Sense, Shyamalan crafted a superhero origin story like no one ever seen. Remember this is in the days before Marvel and DC have become massive hits--the very first X-Men film had just come out and Christopher Reeve's Superman film was already over two decades old. So how does Shyamalan's superhero sleeper hit Unbreakable hold up against the likes of the juggernaut Marvel? Join Corbin and Allen as they discuss M. Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable. Would you want to see Bruce Willis join the Avengers and face off against Thanos? Let us know in the comments section and what you think of the film!

In 1999, a little-known director by the name of M. Night Shyamalan took the cinema by storm with...Stuart Little...(read my review and please follow me on Letterboxd while you're at it).
Wait...no in 1999 M Night Shyamalan, a relatively unknown filmmaker, made headlines with an anything-but-little film called The Sixth Sense. What most remember as Shyamalan's first film was actually his third (technically fourth writing), but the film was a massive hit! At the box office it was the second highest grossing film of the year, just behind Star Wars Episode I and the film received 6 nominations at the Academy Awards including two nominations for Shyamalan and Best Picture. To overlook this film's impact on cinematic history would be unfortunate. Join Corbin and Allen as they use all 6 senses to reevaluate IMDB's 162nd greatest film of all time--M Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense.

At the young age of 22, now controversial filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan, wrote, directed, and acted in his first feature film Praying with Anger. For his first theatrical outing he explores his ancestry, tackles India's biggest issues, and questions the meaning of one's place and purpose in this world...yeah it's a large undertaking especially for his first film right out of college. Many of you may be wondering, "Isn't The Sixth Sense his first film?" No, technically this film did premiere at a number of festivals and then his second film Wide Awake (review coming next week) had a small theatrical distribution and that same year he wrote the beloved family film, Stuart Little, and THEN the following year The Sixth Sense arrived establishing Shyamalan as a serious, wunderkind filmmaker. But...is his first film a satisfying masterpiece? Join Corbin and Allen as they discuss Praying with Anger! If you would like to watch the movie the only place is YouTube! Once you watch the film leave your comments below on what you thought of his first movie!
