Doug and Justin dive into the rise and fall, and potential rise again, of M. Night Shyamalan’s film career. They take a look at his filmography and discuss what they liked and didn’t like about each one. They start off with The Sixth Sense, then they talk about the hilarity of the protagonist's weakness in Unbreakable, then they reminisce on the horror aspects of Signs. Doug questions the practicality of the twist in The Village (surprise), then Doug and Justin debate the sanity of Lady in the Water, briefly mention The Happening, and Justin challenges Doug to a viewing party of The Last Airbender. Things are wrapped up with a throw-down between Juggernaut vs. The Blob.
