290: Retrospectating 1999 - THE SIXTH SENSE
from We Like Movies · host Matt Knudsen
In the tenth installment in our ongoing series about 1999 we revisit M. Night Shyamalan’s zeitgeist-rattling supernatural thriller THE SIXTH SENSE; a film we had previously covered in our AFI Top 100 series and had been disproportionately hard on. This time around we look at the film with fresh eyes, examine its relationship to the horror movies that bookended it on the calendar (THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT and STIR OF ECHOES respectively), and even find time to throw some love toward under-appreciated gems ARLINGTON ROAD and DEEP BLUE SEA- both of which also turned twenty last month to zero fanfare. Fasten your seatbelts, it’s gonna be a bumpy M. Night. Email: [email protected] Donate: Thanks! Subscribe: Apple Podcasts / Stitcher / Overcast / RSS
