The MFF podcast is back and we’re talking about M. Night Shyamalan’s B-movie classic The Happening. We here at MFF love The Happening and we couldn’t wait to talk about its alternate timelines, lemon drinks, and Mark Wahlberg putting in some A+ work as a very confused science teacher. Way back in 2008, Shyamalan told interviewers it was “the ultimate B-movie” and for some reason, nobody listened — and it was met with a critical mauling and justified confusion. We totally get the backlash, but now there are 10 years behind it and it’s time the world started appreciating the performances, cinematography and streamlined story more. You gotta appreciate how it tells an INSANE Story in 90 minutes and feels totally unique and unexplainable. If you are on the fence about The Happening (or totally hate it) you need to listen to this podcast and we are 100% certain that 63% of you will change your minds and embrace the greatness of M. Night Shyamalan’s B-movie masterpiece.

You need to rewatch The Happening and look at it as a B-movie spectacular

As always, we answer random listener questions and discuss if book monsters (monsters that are also books) could be defeated by white paint.  If you are a fan of the podcast make sure to send in some random listener questions so we can do our best to not answer them correctly. We thank you for listening and hope you enjoy the pod!

      That’s nice to hear! Honestly, I’m a fan of all M Night movies.
