Episode 5: Unbreakable (2000)

Unbreakable (2000) was highly anticipated and released in theaters just a year after M. Night Shyamalan's break out hit, The Sixth Sense. Usually director names don't figure largely into a film's marketing, but Unbreakable was sold to audiences as Shyamalan's next movie. Though it did not achieve the same rare popularity as The Sixth Sense, it still grossed over $200 million at the box office. We discuss the plot, twist, cinematic style, and decide if Shyamalan was able to top The Sixth Sense. We also discuss the final scene (but not the plot or twist) of Split (2017), so consider this a SPOILER ALERT for Split! We also talk about the DVD extras, surround sound systems, and cinematic universes. This month's Shyamalan scotch is: Inver House Green Plaid.
