PATREON MOVIE DISCUSSION:

Shirleon joins Melvin to discuss another early M. Night Shyamalan success, Signs! Many consider this another knock-outta-the-park, while others look back and say, “It’s all downhill from here.”. Regardless, there’s plenty to discuss from this semi-spiritual alien-invasion flick.
Topics:
- (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 24-minutes discussing how 20% of Americans regularly get their news from influencers rather than old-media institutions, as per the Pew Research Center. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
- Shirleon liked the movie, and felt it was easily digested. Melvin, however, felt it was the beginning of the end.
- Mel Gibson left a lot to be desired even if a few of his scenes were decent.
- Melvin see's what people love about Signs but feels it's flip-flops between Shyamalan at his best and Shyamalan at his absolute worst.
- Discussing the usage of doors, doorways, framing, and staging.
- How a PG-13 rating may have made Signs hugely accessible to filmgoers and families, and how that may have helped make the "Brazilian Birthday Scene" so frightening (...even when it's not that scary).
- How the ending feels both rushed and sluggish.
