In this episode of 'Catch These Vibes', host Nique discusses the theme for the month focusing on directors and writers, specifically highlighting M. Night Shyamalan. The conversation delves into Shyamalan's career, his unique style, and the polarizing nature of his films. Nique provides an in-depth analysis of Shyamalan's recent film 'Old', exploring its themes and narrative structure. The episode also touches on the topic of remakes in cinema, discussing their prevalence and significance in the film industry. The episode concludes with a teaser for the next episode, promising more insights into another director or writer.

This week, we're heading to the shore—but not for the sunshine. Returning guest Michel Eljaiek joins co-host Bella Efstratis to explore the darker side of paradise through three beach-set thrillers that reveal just how quickly bliss can turn into terror.First up is Old (2021), M. Night Shyamalan's eerie tale of a secluded beach where visitors age rapidly, confronting the horror of time and mortality.Then it's The Beach (2000), Danny Boyle's cult favorite starring Leonardo DiCaprio as a backpacker who discovers an idyllic island commune that slowly unravels into something far more sinister. And finally, there's the low-budget hidden gem The Sand (2015), where a group of spring breakers wake up to find the beach itself has turned against them—thanks to a flesh-eating organism lurking just beneath the surface.From body horror to environmental dread, we dive into how each film uses the beach to explore humanity's desire to escape pain, chase pleasure, and preserve a state of bliss—no matter the cost. These movies may look like vacation films on the surface, but dig a little deeper, and you'll find something far more disturbing.❗️SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE ❗️Support the showSign up for our Patreon for exclusive Bonus Content.Follow the podcast on Instagram @gimmethreepodcastYou can keep up with Bella on Instagram @portraitofacinephile or Letterboxd You can keep up with Nick: on Instagram @nicholasybarra, on Twitter (X) @nicholaspybarra, or on LetterboxdShout out to contributor and producer Sonja Mereu.

The twist wasn't the only betrayal… In this episode of the Cinema Psycho Show, we dig into The Village (2004), the film that marks the moment M. Night Shyamalan may have officially turned on his audience. With a nonsensical twist, stilted dialogue, and characters that act like NPCs in a period drama fever dream, The Village feels less like a film and more like M. Night yelling “You expected brilliance? Here's a blind girl in the woods.” We dive into: Whether this movie is a deliberate act of sabotage  Shyamalan's possible contempt for his own fans  Alleged plagiarism and the Are You Afraid of the Dark connection  What post-9/11 fear has to do with the plot  And why this film is so un-rewatchable it might qualify as cinematic gaslighting This isn't just a review — it's a roast with receipts.

It's all subjective, right? Music, tv, or any sort of consumable media (including podcasts). Skinny and JW welcome television writer (and notorious hook up for the elderly) Nate Federman to Episode 6 Season 6 of Stub Me Down Podcast. Nate shares some stories from his time in the writer's room on The Office and has the fellas rolling on the floor as he describes his hysterical cameo on the show. Nate's stub down takes the trio to Las Vegas for a show "that had a M Night Shyamalan level story twist in it and was easily the most emotional” he's ever been at a show. Part one of two! Thanks for your time, Nate! 

In April 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, 20 year old Mary Collins was excited to be going to her friends apartment to hang out and have fun. They picked up her favourite food and all was going well until the small gathering took a darker turn. They spike Mary's drink with drugs and soon after her friends turn on her. But why would her so-called friends want to harm her?Time Stamps00:00:00 - 00:00:54 - Network ad, theme & intro00:00:54 - 00:17:58 - Background00:17:58 - 00:47:04 - Incident *TRIGGER WARNING*, missing persons report and investigation 00:47:04 - 00:54:44 - Arrest/charges, trial and aftermath00:54:44 - 01:18:17 - Next episode announcement, general chat/recommendations *SPOILER WARNING* - Suspect: The Shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes (Disney+), Body in the Snow: The Trial of Karen Read (Discovery+), Daredevil: Born Again (Disney+), Trap (2024) and M.

Over the years we have discussed the selective and predictive programming in music, movies, television, etc., in regard to everything from UFOs to human trafficking and child abuse. The movie Independence Day, released July 3, 1996, seemed to predict the appearance of a city-sized UFO, which manifested in Phoenix as the infamous ‘Phoenix Lights' on March 13, 1997. The movie Nope seemed to predict the shooting down of objects over Alaska, Canada, and Lake Huron, one of which had “strings hanging off” of it like in the movie UFO. Movies like Spotlight and the Sound of Freedom show us the underbelly of sexual abuse and trafficking. During the pandemic the top movies were Contagion, 28 Days Later, and 12 Monkeys. A 2022 Netflix film called White Noise, about a train carrying toxic chemicals derailing in a small Ohio town, was brought to life when on February 3, 2023, a train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in the same town, East Palestine, Ohio, which was used for filming the movie crash. M. Night Shyamalan's Knock at the Cabin did something similar with plane crashes and earthquakes. In fact, the movie was released on the day of the Ohio train wreck, February 3rd. The next day a FedEx cargo plane almost landed on a commercial Southwest flight. A week later an American Airlines flight ran into a bus on the taxiway. A few days later a report came out about a United Airlines flight that fell 1,400ft out of the sky after take off from Hawaii. Long after the movie was shot, but before release, two other planes almost collided at JFK and before that the NOTAM system went down grounding flights nationwide. In the middle of all this, three days after the movie release, a massive 7.8 earthquake rocked Turkey and opened up an enormous chasm in the earth. The movie ends with fire beginning to engulf the earth, a prelude to the upcoming movie Oppenheimer. These are themes also in the upcoming Dune 2 and Fallout tv adaption. The new Wes Anderson movie Asteroid City is now setting the stage, literally, for an excepted flop and expected hit, i.e. the Barbie movie and Oppenheimer, both set to be released on July 21, 2023. Asteroid City is really a movie about a play, wherein the actors and audience move in-between sets, between what is real and what is staged. In Asteroid City there are quarantines, aliens, doorways between worlds, and in the background atomic bombs, disassociate from reality. In the Barbie movie promos the character stands within a mirror. The backdrops and sets are also similar, even in the pastel-like colors, to the Barbie movie, which is obviously about Barbie Land and how dolls with no human essence journey into the world of humans. In one scene there are two X's stacked on top of each other, perhaps signifying the XX chromosomes of women, of which Barbie does not have. She is plastic, a doll, and not real. The point is that in a fake world the only thing that matters is the mask and outward appearance, and thus one can be a man or woman by choice. Also, in the Barbie movie there is supposedly a map showing China's claimed territory of Vietnam which prompted that country to ban the movie. How interesting is it then that Barbie is provoking fears of atomic war and its release date is on the same day as Oppenheimer, which is about the atomic bomb. A similar thing happened in Christopher Nolan's movie Dark Knight Rises, released July 20, 2012, when one of the strike zones in the city was listed on a map as Sandy Hook - like the shooting on December 14, 2012. Interestingly, July 20 was also the Aurora, Colorado, shooting which took place during a screening of Nolan's new Batman movie. The release of these two movies on the same day contrasts the fake world of PINK with the real world of BLACK, themes that can be found all throughout pop-culture, from the Powerpuff Girls in the 1990s, which features black goo and three homunculi, one of which is pink, to recent hit songs like Pink Venom, from the band BLACKPINK, which features black apples, black goo, broken mirrors signifying split personalities, along religious and mythic imagery. One line is “the fire that'll slowly put you to sleep.” A year prior to Pink Venom an article from Reuters out of Japan stated the following of Moderna shots: “Black substances were spotted in syringes and a vial, with pink substances found in another syringe, the health ministry said.”The innocence and purity of pink mixed with mysterious chemicals, massive explosions, etc., create mutations that turn us into something not human – something barbaric or mutated by radiation. That's what media and movies do, be it through coincidence, predictive programming, movie magic, or retro causality. The question is do you prefer the womblike matrix of Barbie or the real world of Oppenheimer that is about to be engulfed in flames? Will you take the high heel or Birkenstock, the blue pill or the red?  Will you be human or turn over the codes to Zion for a steak and glass of wine?*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

It's pretty impressive that we've done over 300 episodes and not reviewed a single M. Night Shyamalan movie. That changes this week as we check out his 2002 sci-fi thriller, Signs.

Get access to this entire episode as well as all of our premium episodes and bonus content by becoming a Hit Factory Patron for just $5/month.We got our hands on Sofia Coppola's diary and read it to try and make sense of her dreamy, quietly devastating debut The Virgin Suicides. Adapted from the Jeffrey Eugenides novel of the same name, Coppola's film tells the story of the five Lisbon sisters as seen through the eyes of the boys they charm and perplex in equal measure. Adopting the male gaze as a means of dismantling it, the film is a gauzy, stylish showcase that approaches the concerns of girlhood with sincerity while unearthing the tragedies of femininity under the patriarchal thumb of suburban American life.We discuss the film's aesthetic contradictions and how it weaponizes its own visual splendor against the viewer, its beauty a calculated veneer masking uncomfortable truths. Then, we examine the film's brilliant narrative device, using a single unidentified narrator to represent the collective attitudes of the young men incapapable of comprehending the fullness of the Lisbon sisters and their interiority. Finally, we ponder the connections Coppola draws between femininity and the natural world, how she literalizes this coupling within the film's suburban landscape and distinctive milieu.The Roxie theater in San Francisco is still seeking funds to help buy their building!

The Solving Boys team up with AM Diaz and Namor to bring you coverage of this crazy episode leading up to the big showdown. Mesmero is back and he has located half of another key in none other than Warren Worthington III's mansion. The race is on to steal this half of the key and nab the other half from a London Museum. But the race turns deadly when Magneto and gang join in on the fun. And what an M. Night Shyamalan twist this episode has!

On Episode No. 121 of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, America's favorite caffeine-fueled cinephiles do what any responsible adults would: they metaphorically strap themselves to the hood of a psychedelic Hot Wheels car and rocket straight into the candy-colored chaos of 2008's Speed Racer. It's the episode longtime listeners have waited for and longtime haters will pretend not to enjoy. While co-host Dan Moran is presumably still hungover on a beach somewhere in Jamaica, contemplating existence through the bottom of a rum bottle and the lens of a pair of novelty sunglasses, Chelsea Nicole returns from podcasting exile. Once vocal critics of the film, both Preston Barta and Chelsea arrive reborn, their opinions evolved, their chakras aligned with the Mach 5. It's character development worthy of the Wachowskis themselves. Joining the gang is none other than Kristi Shimek, editing wizard, recurring guest, and one-time spiritual leader of My Bloody Podcast's Lake Mungo episode. In a twist so poetic it would make M. Night Shyamalan consider early retirement, it was Kristi, yes, Kristi, who chose Speed Racer as this episode's topic. Turns out, she didn't just like the movie. She wrote her thesis on it. A thesis. About Speed Racer. This is, academically speaking, a baller move. The post Episode #121 – Speed Racer (2008) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

On Episode No. 120 of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, your favorite trio of podcast botanists; Bryan, Preston, and the valiantly returning Chelsea; strap themselves to a metaphorical tree and brace for the rustling leaves of The Happening, M. Night Shyamalan's 2008 eco-thriller-slash-botanical-farce that once again raised the eternal cinematic question: What if the wind is trying to kill us? Yes, The Happening; Shyamalan's first R-rated film and possibly the only movie to feature both a mass extinction event and Mark Wahlberg asking a plastic plant if it means any harm. This is the movie where Mother Nature stages her big revenge, and she's brought reinforcements: grass, bushes, and ominous breezes. Somewhere in here is a climate change allegory. Or a hot dog commercial. It's hard to say. The post Episode #120 – The Happening (2008) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

“For me, I don't know how you could not make [a script] personal. I think drama allows you to hide how personal it is. I think that's kind of what I like about writing in the genre space. On the outside looking in, it just looks like a big action movie. It doesn't look like a personal story. But there are personal elements like my mom was a working mom as well. And so that's why you have Kyra in the movie who has to come back to her son because she's been working to protect him. That's a very personal thing… but you would never assume that it's a personal story because it's wrapped up in the action,” says Leon Chills, co-writer of the new film Shadow Force, about writing action from a very personal point of view.  On today's episode, we talk with director/co-writer Joe Carnahan and co-writer Leon Chills about the new action flick Shadow Force that puts a family at the center of the action. With a bounty on their heads, Kyra (Kerry Washington) and Isaac (Omar Sy) must go on the run with their young son (Jahleel Kamara) to avoid their former employer, a unit of shadow ops that has been sent to kill them. Carnahan and Chills talk about the challenges of writing action set pieces and the power of giving the story emotional weight. We also discuss trying to push the boundaries of the action genre to invent set pieces that are fresh and inventive, and writing action scenes on the page that are compact and concise.  “As an older writer and doing it as long as I have, I'll tell screenwriters, if I see four or five lines of scene description, I'm telling you, do it in two. Do it in one. Let people spend 40 minutes reading your script. No more. You know what I mean? Get through it with that kind of economy. If you've ever read M. Night Shyamalan's Sixth Sense script – it's an absolute masterclass in how to do that. Just so sparse and beautiful and pitch perfect the way that things are written,” says Carnahan.    To learn more about action writing and hear more advice, listen to the podcast.

This week, writer-directors Austin Andrews and Andrew Holmes – whose new film The Island Between Tides is playing at the Carlton Cinemas in Toronto and the Mayfair in Ottawa through May 1st – are here to talk about their fascination with The Sixth Sense, and how M. Night Shyamalan's 1999 breakthrough is still a great picture even after you know the twist. Your genial host Norm Wilner has been saying this forever.

The GBGBs are BACK with a review of the LATEST M. Night Shyamalan flick, TRAP. Josh Hartnett stars as just your everyday dad who's secretly a serial killer. All he wants to do is take his daughter to a concert to see her favorite pop star, Lady Raven (played by Saleka Night). Hijinks ensue when it turns out the concert is doubling as a giant sting operation to catch Josh Hartnett. This movie is a thrilling cat and mouse game that asks the age old question: can't we all just relax and have a good time watching Shyamalan's silly movies? Thanks for stopping by!

Adam and Jared return to the latest offering from M. Night Shyamalan with 2024's, Trap. Confusion reigns as the story unfolds and Josh Hartnett gets more and more concerned about getting caught. And is this possibly the worst Police operation ever put on film? Good question that the lads will do their best to answer. They also run through the latest films they have watched this week.

Friend of the Show Jen (@JenWalksN2Walls on TikTok) joins us to cover Sister Act 2. We once again follow the misadventures of Deloris (Whoopi Goldberg), a Las Vegas headliner who selfishly abandons the backup dancers, crew members, and support staff who rely on her show to make their living, all so she can go be a substitute teacher at a Catholic school for some reason. Seriously, is she paying all these people out of her pocket while her show is on hiatus? Or is she like Jimmy Fallon during the 2023 strikes, sending them each a $20 gift card and best wishes?   Anyway. This movie's a lot of fun, but it is all over the place. Looking into the production history, we see it's a hastily produced sequel that seems almost as if it started as an original, unrelated script about a high school choir competition and then had the Sister Act nuns awkwardly grafted onto it. Still, Whoopi Goldberg is her usual delightful self, but she's outshined by these delightful kids, including a just-about-to-be-a-superstar Lauryn Hill as Rita, a high schooler whose mom hates choirs more than anything else.    Next week: Death Proof (2007)   Subscribe to our Patreon, Load Bearing Beams: Collector's Edition for $5 a month to get extra episodes!

Long ago the seasons of Avatar: The Last Airbender lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when Shyamalan attacked. The Last Airbender was an attempt to bring the magic of the animated series to the big screen. What resulted was one of the most maligned adaptations in movie history. What's wrong with it? What's right with it is the easier question

When does a filmmaker become a brand? That's what the Film School Janitors (try to) discuss while reviewing Christopher Landon's latest, DROP, as well as RECYCLE REVIEWING M. Night Shyamalan's TRAP. Besides both having four-letter titles with two of the same letters in the same spots, there are some structural and tonal similarities. Not too many, though, otherwise this wouldn't be MIXING BLEACH AND AMMONIA. Make sure your room is well ventilated...

Strum your sitar and prepare to launch all Eagles as Miles and Charlie once more become the Space Scamps as they make a second trip to the moon for three more episodes of Gerry Anderson's ‘Event Horizon meets Garth Marenghi's Darkplace' show Space 1999 (Miles is now worried he has created a monster by showing Charlie this show) and in doing so, get to talk about psychadelic trippiness and Kano's obsession with Computer in ‘Black Sun,' Christopher Lee (although he's totally phoning it in,) and the dispatch of a weasly middle manager in ‘Earthbound' and then with ‘The Troubled Spirit,' Halloween comes a little early and it's probably more spooky than whatever we'll end up doing for our Halloween episode… EPISODES DISCUSSED: Black Sun (11:32), Earthbound (34:20) and The Troubled Spirit (58:40)Talking Points Include: More Space 1999, Death Stranding, a trip to Scotland, the science is impossible, Moon Base Alpha's limited resources, British Pessimism vs. American Gung-Ho, Gene Roddenberry would never, Hard SF has a tendency to go full magic weirdness, Bohemian Rhapsody deserves it's rep, Christopher Lee is phoning it in, Simmons is the David Brent in Space, cowardly heroes, our brave explorers enjoying shouting MMMMUUUUUUUUTAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNT like in ‘Mission of the Darians,' Charlie repeats a Johnny Byrne joke from the last episode, awesome sitar music this is the most halloween episode we've done for the show, a wicked burn from Charlie's old teacher Mr. Jafferji, is Moonbase Alpha a liminal space? M. Night Shyamalan films and surprisingly… some Star Trek.

Melissa Davey took the adage about it's never too late to try something new quite seriously. This wasn't about jumping out of an airplane kind of stuff. In her sixties, she retired from a lengthy corporate career to pursue her second act and dream of becoming a filmmaker. I always tell teens I coach or meet who are stressed about picking a college major and choosing a career path, that the average American changes careers, not just jobs, seven times in their lifetimes. You never know when circumstances allow you to drop the grind and forge a new direction, like you heard Australian Maddy Reynolds do in a WASP episode a few weeks ago when she dumped the corporate world to become a pro trail runner. Melissa was the Vice President of Social Security and Managed Disability at GENEX for 22 years, sat on the company's executive team, and worked throughout the United States to create and deliver services to the disability insurance marketplace. But after a day on the set with famed screenwriter and filmmaker M Night Shyamalan, she decided to take a risk and left her career to jump into the unknown. Pursuing her dream of becoming a filmmaker became a reality in late 2018 when Melissa completed her first feature film, Beyond Sixty, which highlights stories of women making similar jumps, including the woman behind the original voice of Siri, the Madam CJ Walker biographer, and the sculptor of Lady Gaga's Fame perfume carriage. During 2019, Melissa's film was accepted by and screened at eight film festivals throughout the United States and Canada, winning awards and confirming that it is never too late to learn something new. Picked up by a distributor and released in 2021, the film is currently available on most streaming platforms. Melissa's second film, Climbing into Life, details the inspiring life story of Dierdre Wolownick, the oldest woman to ascend El Capitan, who also happens to be the mother of famed free solo climber Alex Honnold. The film is currently making the film festival rounds. Melissa is a champion to show that it isn't too late for people over 60, particularly women to explore new pathways and make a profound impact on the world. It's such a great message to share, and she does it with an infectious energy as you'll find out in this episode.Melissa Daveymelissadavey.combeyondsixty.commelissa@melissadavey.comFacebook Beyond Sixty DocumentaryInstagram @beyond60project and @climbing_into_lifeBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe to the We Are Superman Newsletter!https://mailchi.mp/dab62cfc01f8/newsletter-signup

Some stories unfold not with a bang, but with the echo of a bowling ball rolling down a waxed lane—steady, unpredictable, and brimming with hidden intention. On today's episode, we welcome a filmmaker whose journey is stitched together with sweat-soaked call sheets, stubborn creative grit, and a romance with storytelling that stretches back to a Sunglass Hut in Cincinnati. Jamie Buckner is a writer, director, and production coordinator who took a simple idea—a romantic comedy set in a bowling alley—and transformed it into a heartfelt indie film with an uncanny twin name.What unfolds in this conversation is not just the tale of a film called Split, but the soul of a storyteller who refused to let his creative voice be muffled by the chaos of working behind the scenes on massive Hollywood productions.Jamie shares how he stitched together moments between 14-hour workdays, late-night office hours, and endless sets to keep rewriting, reworking, and resurrecting the script for Split. “The creative muscle will atrophy if you don't exercise it,” he says. In that moment, you understand that this is no ordinary guest; this is someone for whom storytelling is oxygen.His story reads like a modern parable for artists. From early days bouncing between dreams of music, architecture, and comic books, Jamie landed on film—not by plan, but by epiphany. He describes it beautifully, realizing that all his interests merged in filmmaking, the perfect cocktail of drawing, sound, emotion, and movement. And thus began the pilgrimage: extra work on Seabiscuit, gigs on War of the Worlds, and a life that kept knocking until the door opened just enough to let the artist through.But the magic, as it often does, lived in the in-between. While others went to happy hour, Jamie stayed late in the office to write. While his peers chased security in crew roles, he wrestled with Kickstarter campaigns, coordinated sizzle reels (or “proof of concept” pieces, as he prefers), and asked himself the questions that every creative must ask: "Will I do this until I'm sixty and just look back, or will I carve out the time now?" He chose the latter—and Split was born.There's something charming about how he talks of making “a cute little bowling movie,” while casually referencing that its short film starred future television stars. It's clear he walks both worlds with ease: the guy who's worked on John Wick 2, and the indie soul who still geeks out about local comic shops. He's aware of the absurdity too: that his film shares its name with M. Night Shyamalan's thriller. He laughs about mistaken identities, mistaken downloads, and audience confusion, but stands firm. "We were here first," he says. And in that defiant simplicity lies the heart of a creator.Jamie's approach to art is like that of a Zen archer—disciplined but loose, always aiming, never rigid. He offers a quiet but potent kind of wisdom, the kind that doesn't shout but sticks with you. “If you're not doing this because you love it, then you're legitimately a crazy person,” he jokes. And yet, one feels the profound truth in those words. In a world spinning faster each day, where even scripts get locked down like government secrets, Jamie reminds us that what matters is finishing what you start—and doing it with heart.Like a good film, Jamie Buckner's journey doesn't resolve in neat lines. It's ongoing, filled with projects still to be written, scenes yet to be shot, and audiences still to discover the little movie that could. But what stays with you is not the resume or the name confusion. It's the voice behind the words, the love behind the lens. He's not just telling a story—he's reminding you why stories matter.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/indie-film-hustle-a-filmmaking-podcast--2664729/support.
