The Rad Wrap: M. Night Shyamalan
Welcome to The Rad Wrap: a series on series, where Kylie and Elliott explore films with a common thread. In this episode, they revisit the films of M. Night Shyamalan, a director whose work they unequivocally love. It may be Brat Summer, but it's also Shyamalan Summer, baby! Along the way, they witness the power of believing others, reflect on the struggle of knowing who you are, find a new band name, recall childhood memories of baby brothers, bemoan mismarketing, re-evaluate an old favourite, marvel at a bonafide horror film, and have the most fun they've ever had watching an M. Night movie.
The Moody Movies are: The Sixth Sense (1999), Unbreakable (2000), Signs (2002), The Village (2004), The Happening (2008), The Visit (2015), and Trap (2024).
Our love for M. Night Shyamalan runs deep and we've previously covered some of our most favourite Shyamalan movies. Listen to past episodes for:
- Knock at the Cabin: Baby's Outta The Corner
- Lady In The Water: When The CanCon Is Strong, It's Hard To Go Wrong
- The Watchers: Dakota Fanning, Let's Be Gender Study Buddies!
