Welcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us. We're almost finished with M Night Shyamalan!

This episode we watched Knock at the Cabin, and next time we'll be back with the most recent M Night movie Trap

We've got a pretty good one! M Night is able to take a short and fairly well edited script and some excellent performances and turn out a fun if thin and messy take on a home invasion thriller (slop lord continues his work?)

Couple Eric and Andrew are vacationing in the Pennsylvanian woods with their adopted daughter Wen when four weapon-weilding strangers (lead by human giant/elementary school teacher Leonard) force their way into the cabin and tie everyone up. These four have been having apocalyptic visions, and their goal is to get one member of the young family to sacrifice themself, and be killed by the other two, to prevent the end of the world. One by one the intruders kill themselves to herald a new disaster while the couple while Andrew and Eric figure out if that sacrifice is possible or even desired.

Featuring Keith Carberry (@KeithJCarberry), Sylvi Bullet (@SYLVIBULLET), Ali Acampora (@Ali-online), and Arthur Martinez-Tebbel (@amtebbel)

I’m going to miss Keith’s intro. So, so good and he’s really got it polished. Keith VA + Jack intro tunes = sublime

I watched this for the first time before listening to this episode. I liked the first 85% of the movie, but I have to say I find "people who have absolute faith in wrong beliefs convince you to believe something unbelievable and to do something fucked up" to be way more interesting of a premise than "God hates your family specifically and holds the world hostage against you until you do a murder." It's also a weird message about faith, which as you say is kind of M. Night Shyamalan's only move. Like, if God is demanding you murder your husband as a sacrifice and judging all of humanity as unworthy of life if you won't do it, what kind of god is that? What is he trying to say about faith in our world? The bes message I can imagine the remaining characters taking away from the situation is "hoo boy that was fucked up, but at least we've pacified the blood god for this generation." Anything more positive falls apart in the face of the cruelty of the situation.

Another solid episode. It once again proves that M Knight is not perfect he makes solid thrillers that’s struggle to fully actualize his ideas but to me that’s what makes him interesting to analyze. He’s someone who clearly knows the ideas he wants to explore but can’t quite translate it all into the screen/page. I think his own personal confusion and conflict on things bleeds into his works in that way and makes him a unique viewpoint to observer.

I liked Signs more than I think Keith did based on how he talked about it, and it's WILD that Keith said this movie is worse than Signs. I don't think anything other than the sixth sense comes close to this one.

I keep thinking about Show LotrugliShow and it’s driving me insane with insanity.

I'm going through Metro 2033 by Dmitri Glukhovsky at the moment, and there's a conversation where the protag asks of God casting Adam & Eve out of Eden, "Well, if that's true, then where's the forgiveness? Where is the omnipotence?" It's hard to find better evidence of God's non-existence (as written, anyway) than the inconsistency of behavior described in scripture. Either that, or the Creator is just as changeable or inconstant as his creations, taking enormous satisfaction out of screwing with the things we hold most dear. If someone asked you if you'd invite God to a party, I think the wise would say no.

The penultimate episode of "The Gang Damages Themselves with Movies" arc! It's been a fascinating experiment, extremely funny as always.

sylvi ntbts reference warmed my heart <3

The book has tons of pop culture references that the movie cut. The cartoon that "teaches empathy" was Steven Universe. When one of the horsemen gets brained, the guts are wiped up with a Harry Potter towel. That was of course the horseman portrayed by Rupert Grint.
