Summary

For this week's main podcast review, Giovanni Lago, Sara Clements, Josh Parham, & Tom O'Brien are reviewing the latest film from M. Night Shyamalan, "Trap," starring Josh Hartnett, Ariel Donoghue, Saleka Shyamalan, Hayley Mills & Alison Pill. Shyamalan is one of the world's most polarizing yet fascinating filmmakers, and his latest is no different as it has divided audiences everywhere. Is it the taut thriller its trailers made it out to be, or is it a terribly plotted catastrophe with silly dialogue that writes itself into a trap by the time it reaches the third act? Tune in as the team discusses the writing, performances, suspense, the craziness of the third act, Shyamalan's direction, and more in their SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
