137 - The Happening (with Rosie Fletcher)

We made it, guys! Another week is over, another Friday is upon us and you know what that means, we're back in your feeds with EPISODE 137!   Our guest this week is UK Editor for Den of Geek, Rosie Fletcher! Her film choice?  M Night Shyamalan's 2008 pandemic/vengeful plant/murderous wind thriller/road movie THE HAPPENING! A first watch for Mitch, a revisit after many years for Andy, and a film that is a curious tangle of contradictions to say the absolute least. Synopsis is as follows... An apocalyptic threat to humanity arrives out of the clear blue sky with a series of violent, inexplicable deaths spreading across the country. The cause of the terrifying phenomenon remains unknown, prompting science teacher Elliot Moore (Mark Wahlberg), his wife Alma (Zooey Deschanel) and his colleague Julian (John Alberto Leguizamo) to try to elude the invisible killer in Pennsylvania's farmland. Soon it becomes clear that no one is safe.   Please note that this podcast may contain strong language and even stronger Scottish accents.  Also, why not pop over and take a look at our Patreon page?
