	Description:		Manoj Nelliyattu, “M. Night” Shyamalan has had one of Hollywood’s most interesting stories that could well have come from one of his scripts. After two independent movies which amounted to little success, Shyamalan set the world afire with 1999’s The Sixth Sense, which took critics off guard, gathering six Academy Award nominations and rolling to an almost $700 million box office take, making it the most successful horror film all the way until 2017, when It finally knocked it off. But after a financial and critical success such as that, where do you go from there? Join myself, Matt, and the returning Michael Guarnieri as we take the journey to answering that question, which we begin with The Sixth Sense and will eventually lead to Shyamalan’s new film Old, scheduled for release this July. In 2002, Shyamalan was in a good place. He had two certified hits, and Newsweek made him a cover boy for their magazine, complete with the headline ‘The Next Spielberg’. The media was rooting for this guy to make movies that define a generation. To kickstart this leg of his career, Shyamalan decided to do his version of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, called Signs. With a different actor in the lead, Shyamalan nonetheless had to deal with directing Mel Gibson, who had won the Best Director Oscar. He also once again had Tak Fujimoto as his DP, and Joaquin Phoenix and Kieran Culkin in his cast. With all this at his disposal, how did Shyamalan do? Join myself and Matt as we lead Mike, who is once again coming to a viewing of a Shyamalan movie for the very first time, through a story about aliens, faith, and water.
