Episode 90 (October 20, 2023)
Is M. Night Shyamalan’s SIGNS (2002) just a bunch of corny rubbish, or is Matt right when he calls it the scariest movie he’s ever seen? We made our longest episode ever to figure it out.
He’s seen this movie so many times he can recite every minute detail of it. We talk about weird background characters, the newsworthiness of crop circles, the threat level posed by armadillos, the acute stress one goes through preparing one’s house for an alien attack, and so much more.
It’s the second entry in this year’s collection of Load Bearing SCREAMS. Ghost scaring beams. Boo!
