When you're lost in the darkness, look for the pod.

Specifically, the Prestige TV podcast on the Ringer podcast network, where we're breaking down every new episode of HBO's The Last of Us.

On Sunday nights, grab your battery and join Van Lathen and Charles Holmes for an instant reaction to the latest episode.

Then head back to the QZ on Tuesdays for a deep dive with Joanna Robinson and Mallory Ruben.

From character arcs to video game adaptation choices, story themes to needle drops will parse every inch of this court of steps coded universe.

Watch out for mouth tendrils and follow along and Spotify or wherever you get your podcast.

I'm Sean Fennesy and this is the Big Picture a Conversation Show about Knock at the Cabin.

The 15th feature film from writer, director, M. Knight, Shyamalan hits theaters this weekend.

And I spoke tonight about his exciting new thriller, Please Stick Around for our conversation at the end of this episode.

Listeners of the show know I'm a big fan of Shyamalan's films, it was great to finally speak with him.

But first, we wanted to have some fun with Shyamalan's movie so I'm very happy to welcome two of my favorite podcasters,

Elric Cain and Brian Sauer, the host of the pure cinema podcast, or joining me today to talk about Knock at the Cabin,

and provide some double feature recommendations for my favorite Shyamalan films.

So, gentlemen, one of the reasons why it's so exciting to have you here is because you have seen everything.

And I look to your show on a regular basis to find new films.

Now, sometimes you talk about movies, I've seen before, sometimes you talk about what's playing at the new Beverly out here in Los Angeles,

And I think of myself as a genuine cinephile and a genre fan and all of the things that you guys do so well.

So, it's fun to have you here.

Do you want to just break down what pure cinema is for anybody who doesn't know?

Well, we're all ready.

Yeah, I mean, we've been, what is it, six years, about six years?
