In this episode, we have two big items on our agenda: First, to argue out our reaction to M. Night Shyamalan’s new found-footage horror flick The Visit. Secondly, we rank M. Night Shyamalan’s films from best to worst. If you haven’t made it out to see The Visit just yet, you may want to skip to 38:45, at which point we move on from major spoilers for The Visit and keep things more general.
