Welcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us. This season we're watching a selection of M Night Shyamalan movies.

This episode we watched The Visit and next time we'll be back with Split. Also have you seen our most recent Patreon episode, the Last Airbender watchalong that Austin joined us for? It's good! We've got a new bonus in the can too, the Season 1 crew reassembled to record an episode on the non canon movie Phantom Rouge, so stay tuned for that!

In this one, a pair of siblings try to avoid dealing with their feelings about their absent father by trying to fix their mom's feelings about her estranged parents. They do this by going to the middle of nowhere to meet them for the first time while making a documentary about it. Unfortunately, they're in a horror movie, so it goes way bad!

Featuring Keith Carberry (@KeithJCarberry), Sylvi Bullet (@SYLVIBULLET), Ali Acampora (@Ali-online), Arthur Martinez-Tebbel (@amtebbel) and Jack De Quidt (@notquitereal), the first thirdest guest on Media Club Plus season 2 (but the third thirdest overall)

Produced by Keith Carberry

I swear to god, me and Sylvie said “that’s how movies work” at the exact same time.

The special guest at about 2h5m in is a real highlight of this episode.

I'm surprised she thought the film was bad, but I do respect and value her contribution to the podcast, brief though it may have been. /j

I liked this one a lot. Obviously I didn't like the ableism, I thought that was extremely trite, but aside from that I felt like it was actually just a very competently done movie, maybe the best film he's made since The Sixth Sense. It's VERY watchable, which can't be said for a lot of his films, and we see the return of Shyamalan getting good performances out of kids, after three movies in a row where the kids don't really do a great job or aren't given much to do.
