Listen "Episode 4 - Signs (2002)"
Episode Synopsis
This week, we tackle a personal favorite of the panel: M. Night Shyamalan's Signs (2002). Part sci-fi thriller, part family drama, the film stars megastar Mel Gibson as a former pastor who's lost his wife - and his faith. But when crop circles start appearing in his corn field, he has no choice but to confront his past in order to save his family. Our panel discusses how we first came to experience the film, where it stands in the lexicon of Shyamalan's resume, and how it mostly succeeds (but sometimes fails) to tread the line between inspired filmmaking and shameless sentimentality.
