M. Night Shyamalan’s Old (2021) with Sarah from ’Weird Horizon’

You either go with this film and enjoy it, or you don't!

Sarah from 'Weird Horizon' podcast returns to review a very divisive (shock, horror) M. Night Shyamalan.

My Guest: Sarah hosts the 'Weird Horizon' podcast, which contains "Discussions on the spooky and the esoteric, the counter-cultural and the just plain weird".

Discussion Points:

-Sarah and Sean are back with another cheery pick-me-up film.

-The inescapable nature of death and ageing.

-Sean is surprised how well the film stands up on the second watch.

-The inconsistencies in how the children mentally grow-up and mature.

-The accents in the film.

-Mid-Sized Sedan.

-Sarah appreciates the in-depth nature of the characters, rather than being stereotypical.

-The meaning behind the pregnancy and the following "aggressively horrible" scenes that follow.

-Sarah was surprised with the film's nuanced conclusion.

-Sean reveals M. Night Shyamalan is his dream guest.

-The podcast won't end.
