In this bonus edition of The Pod Charles Cinecast, we are back in the world of SHYAMALAMANIA, where we are charting the films of M. Night Shyamalan in special Patreon exclusive episodes.

Join hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas, as they dive into the murky waters of a film that some describe as a religious experience. The story centres around a broken man working as a property manager of an apartment complex in Philadelphia. One night he discovers a naked woman in the swimming pool and soon gets dragged into a bedtime story that must see him return this woman (a narf) to her home of the water world. But first, she must clear the mind of an author and inspire him, so that he can write the book that will inspire the person that will change the world. And that author is none other than M. Night himself.... What a twist!

Of course, we are talking about M. Night Shyamalan's 2006 fantasy thriller, LADY IN THE WATER, starring Paul Giamatti, Bryce Dallas Howard, M. Night Shyamalan and features Jeffrey Wright and Bob Balaban. Enter a world where M. Night is totally losing his mind over criticism, burning bridges with Disney, snapping back at critics, trying to pass off a bedtime story as a real Hollywood movie and dishing out the hot goss in a tell-all book. No, seriously...

"They Try To Help Man, But Man May Have Forgotten How To Listen."
