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.

So where does one go when their one attempt at franchising a property completely bombs? Why, work with one of the most ego driven father/son duos of the 2000s of course. It would seem odd that M Night Shyamalan, the man who was well renown for his original stories, would take a project after being hand picked by Will Smith to take it on. With Smith coming up with the story and then eventually taking it into Tom Cruise’s Oblivion territory by having it take place 1000 years in the future. But Smith’s onset fighting with his son Jaden bled onto the screen, and despite hiding his name from all advertising, the movie was yet another bomb on Shyamalan’s resume. But how do we feel about it?

Join Matt, Mike, and myself as we go after Shyamalan’s 2013 science fiction thriller After Earth. And be sure to join us next week as Matt and I once again welcome Alyx to continue our look at the Fast and Furious franchise, which will continue through the entire month of May.
