The Contrarians138 - The Sixth Sense

Our Shyamalanthology comes to a close by going back to where it all truly began. But does THE SIXTH SENSE hold up? Or is it just an early example of M. Night Shyamalan’s bad habits? Did he trick us into believing constant whispering equals good acting? What does Bruce Willis do in between scenes? And why hasn’t Toni Collette called an actual professional to help her son? Listen to Alex & Julio take on the movie that bought Shyamalan a lifelong “get out of film jail free” card!
