Episode 11: The Happening (2008)

We're back and just in time for Shocktober! This time we watched Shyamalan's environmental horror film, The Happening (2008). Though this movie turned a profit at the box office, it was universally panned and derided by audiences and critics alike. We delve into the casting, dialogue, shaky premise, and unfortunate lack of thrills in what is meant to be a shocking, thrilling movie. Tangents include: Bryan's encounter with Alan Ruck, horror movies we stumbled upon in our younger days, and being in rowdy theater audiences. This month's Shyamalan scotch was: Glen Moray Speyside Single Malt. P.S. We also talk about the impending celebration known as Video Store Day, a day to celebrate and support your local video store if you're still lucky enough to have one. If you happen to be in Austin, TX on October 21st, swing by Vulcan Video. We'll be having a raffle with cool prizes from local businesses, deals, and free beer (while supplies last). Happy Shocktober!
