This month we want to take on one of the master of the twist endings M. Night Shyamalan. We've already done The Happening, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and his lesser known "religious cinema" debut film Wide Awake, but there's still so much bad to bathe in so hit us with your best shots.

Comments

Christian Galitzine

The Happening! That movie was the first one to ever make me furious in a movie theatre. It's just SOOOOO bad!!

Atheist101

The sixth sense, the paranormal aspect would he great for the show

Joseph Calkins

The village would make an incredible episode

Diana

Lady in the Water is so bad.

Atheist101

He said they already did the happening

Joanne

You need to do The Visit. I need to hear Eli's reactions to the grandparents shit filled diapers and nudity

David Rutherford

Unbreakable! Or Signs. Who do you want to roast more, Mel or Bruce?

Emerson

Lady in the Water or After Earth. LITW is terrible fantasy. AE is terrible science fiction, with emphasis on terrible science.

Atheist101

I was tricked into watching that movie and was so pissed off at my friend. I waited the entire movie for it to get good only to be severely disappointed. I'll never get those hours back

Mirjam Dornauer

The visit. I want Elly and Heath to retell the diaper scene so bad 😆

The Younglings Had It Coming

I would say Devil, but that's for the main feed. So I'm going After Earth. Legitimately maybe his worst movie, and obviously one he didn't give a shit about. Will Smith just wanted to make a movie with one of his kids and M. Night wanted a paycheck. It's a *trainwreck* of a sci-fi adventure.

Theresa Mooney

The Village. It was so bad that all I can remember is liking the set kind of while also suffering from mass amounts of confusion.

Christian Galitzine

Ah I totally forgot that and totally didn't register reading that in the comment. This is just how much I hate that movie

Just Ash

The Lady in the Water or Wide Awake

Katie Reece

The Village, because fuck that fucking film and it's stupid twist.

Zaridjr

After Earth because I need to hear Eli make fun of those accents

MouthStache

The sixth sense. I showed it to my partner for the first time a while ago. It does not hold up, especially if you know the twist from the beginning.

Mark H

I had no idea After Earth was his. And it may be a Scientology flick. Sounds like a winner.

Mark H

Didnt you guys already do the Village? I swear I remember that review, but it may have been a different pod.

CassieD

After Earth

That one with the boobs

please don't do glass or split, they're really fucking terrible to the DDnos community. How about The Visit :V

candice cole

Lady in the Water or Devil (although I agree with prior comments that it could go on the main feed please 🥺)

Icculus90

The only acceptable reason you wouldn’t do Wide Awake is if you were saving it for a regular GAM episode

El Oso Café

Lady in the Water makes NO gawdamn sense.

CarrieBoo

The Village does have that culty vibe ya'll like to trash. Lady in the Water is just boring...don't bother. The Visit and Devil are hilariously bad, but you did The Happening for that affect...hmm...I'd also suggest OLD because that was the worst piece of crap I've seen in ages, but sending you to the theater seems cruel...My final vote is The Village. It's been a while since I've seen it but the twist was so bad it's burned in my brain...

Danica

After Earth. Please destroy that insanely stupid affront to sci-fi.

Regina Calabrese

You already did The Last Airbender so, I got nothin’.

Ryan Enbom

The Visit. One of those where you just feel like you wasted your time after watching it, plus has a gross message about mental health patients that deserves Eli's wrath

Regina Calabrese

They already did it. Episode 176 in the regular feed.

Kellie Linda

Unbreakable. It’s almost too boring to roast. Almost.

Iridescent Pigsie

Devil (aka The Night Chronicles 1: Devil) please. It's written and produced by M'Night, so it counts :-D

Iridescent Pigsie

After Earth would be a great pick, too, if Devil goes on the main feed (PLEASE do it)

Esteban

Unbreakable. It’s visually aged in an interesting way and hearing the guys’ respective reactions to it would be really cool!

CarrieBoo

Gramma's gone mad!!

Michael Colon

After Earth. I think it's like the obvious pick.

TBoneSF

Lady in the Water just for how self-serving it is. His "metaphors" are so blatant and when you say them out loud, it really paints M. to be a big crybaby. "You critics just don't get my brilliance! My stories will be the thing that saves the world!". He has a gruesome death for a character he literally labels as "Critic". It's so petty and feel likes something a faux goth 15 year old would scribble in their math book.

Jon Garcia

I mostly remember being distracted the whole time by how bad the period acting was from this amazing cast only for it to be part of the “twist” (presumably)

tronvillain

Clearly, it's After Earth.

חנן

Also it has the toast landing butter side down is proof of demonic presence :D

Icculus90

Oh nice! I lose track sometimes. Hell, that’s probably where I learned of the movies existence hahaha

Gavin Ferris

Lady in the Water. For John Leguizamo’s performance if nothing else.

Daniel Chapman

After Earth. Will Smith and his kid. Absolute trash. Well worth a rip

Eric Prebys

Since you've done The Happening, definitely Lady in the Water.

Sara

The Village

Pezski

Such a piece of shit!

Curby Dickens

I mean, is there a good one? My 2¢ would be After Earth.

Jan Cerny

I always thought Signs had the stupidest secret vulnerability of invading aliens ever offered with a straight face. Also one of the most cliched crisis-of-faith storylines.

Khristle

Lady in the Water

Jess Donovan

eXistenZ is bad and had a twist obvious from frame 1 even if it isn't Shyamalanadingdong

V-Gin

Looking at his filmography you come upon a 1992 film called 'praying with anger' which M Night wrote, directed, and stars in. Gotta be worth the Gam treatment.

Christine

That’s the best argument for The Visit I’ve heard, can’t argue with that.

Michelle C

Signs was horrible, but much more boring than The Village, which is also terrible.

Michelle C

I love this movie!! It actually would fit as a regular God Awful movie given the plot.

Elvis Manson

Anyone else notice that MNS wrote the screenplay to Stuart Little?

Dreamcrusher

I saw this in theatres. It is superbad and definitely should be a regular GAM episode.

Patrick Carr

Another vote for Lady in the Water. Terrible waste of Paul Giamatti.

keegan

I Wana hear Eli make fun of blind people so definitely the village

Dreamcrusher

Just go to the movies and see Old. Rotten Tomatoes says it's not terrible, but it's still Mnight. You know for sure it is going to be absolutely convoluted with some insufferably dumb twist ending. At least with this choice, you get to go to the movies, eat popcorn, and watch some previews.

Veronica Forker

I bet the gang has good Paul Giamatti impressions, so I vote for Lady in the Water

LeeDassin

Either Devil or Lady in the Water, I want to hear the reaction to all the weird creature names of Lady in the Water 🤣

steven burritt

what about after earth? i have not seen it, i gave up on any of his movies after signs but heard it's real bad and has 2 smiths.

Revan

The village. It is clearly an allegory of his control religious groups and in my case coming from JDubs that movie is my experience. The elders are hiding things from everyone else. They have made the outside world to be scary but they are the ones in the costumes. They try to separate the members from the outside world but as soon as they need help, medical help in the movie, they have no problem crawling back to the scientific doctors who they have decried to get medicine to live even though through death they get to go to their version of paradise.

Amanda

2 votes for After Earth. I mean, if they hadn't made their spaceship out of mostly toilet paper it would have held up a lot better. Also Signs, because it was so fucking stupid.

Alexander Thomas

You've also done Signs, GAM 247. Another vote for After Earth.

Xavier Branch

After Earth, and I want to hear the GAM cast try to do the funky accent, too.

Kain

Another vote for the visit I hear there’s a diaper scene

Paul Freelend

Lady in the Water is a no-brainer, but I'd also put in a shout for Old. It's got all the usual M. Night anti-science attitudes and his unflinching ability to get bad acting out of good actors, but it also veers into new, deeply problematic territory that would be fun (?) for the boys to explore. Plus, one of the characters is named Mid-Sized Sedan.

crystaloftruth

I genuinely love The Village. Ruin it for me like it was Boondock Saints 1

SilentDis

Second for The Village. I was so interested right up to about a half-way point, when I realized what the reveal would be, and ended up thinking through the logistics of it all and how they were treating everyone. Severely pissed me off.

Rae Atkinson

The village! They made us watch that one in school, I'd like to revisit it lol

john Morrow

Sixth sense could go in regular rotation

Gillian Klein

Devil! A murder mystery in an elevator, but it's just the devil tormenting this one guy.

Cole

Signs

Asexual Asshole

Shama llama dingdong wrote the screenplay for Stewart Little.

Asexual Asshole

After Earth was... it was... I mean, it existed; it was a movie. The pictures moved and there was sound. Dammit, Dingdong! How did you make a SPACE WAR dull?!!?

Dan Downey

The Village is good, it has a strong culty religious vibe.

Taru Tikkanen

Signs has been GAM’ed, on episode 247.

Taru Tikkanen

They did that one, on episode 247.

antman

and then glass and the other one

Jan Cerny

To T Tikkanen, thanks for the correction.

MutatedWisdom

Yes please, The Village! I couldn't even finish that fucking movie back in the day.

Jim

The village

Nemoutopian

They did it as a regular Christian movie, because it is.

Nemoutopian

I have a soft spot for the movie, but it drives me nuts that MNS does not seem to understand that it is about a deranged and deluded cult denying their children informed consent.

Don Toovey

My head says signs but my heart says after earth (aka how get your rich famous daddy to jump start your career even though you can’t act)

Taru Tikkanen

Signs was episode 247 on the main feed, so listen to your heart.

Taru Tikkanen

Seen the Village, liked it, thought it was clever. Putting my vote for that film.

Taru Tikkanen

They did Signs on episode 247 on the main feed.

Emeradis

Stuart little! TWO VOTES

Wendy

Lady in the water! Please! It’s so bad!!

Xeciash Vega

Signs or Glass. I hated Glass so much

Total Absolutism

Another vote for Glass. So many phoned in performances for a film that forgets its own mythos.

Holden Kenne

no i forgot about After Earth... i’m changing my answer

Cyn R Johnson

The village. So bad it groans under its own weight.

Rachael Adamczyk

Another asexual person who is also a GAM Patron?! I'm ordering us some "best friends" locket necklaces right now 😂

Scott W. Davis

It's gotta be LADY IN THE WATER. So much ego and nonsense.

Kespos

Hard call over LITW…but I vote The Village. Although Giamatti has it coming for being in that shit

Anne the transwoman

Either Lady in the Lake or After Earth -- both are TERRIBLE, but in different ways.

Mark H

I not only agree with your suggestion, but I also covet your name. That’s fantastic!

Dustin Hummel

How did After Earth win? Lady in the water had an insane half buff man! It does not get more god awful that that nonsense!
