Today, as this episode releases, is July 30, 2020 — the 16-year anniversary of the release of M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village (2004). For those who don’t know, “The Village” is a social-psychological Thriller about how innocence can be lost by trying to protect it too fiercely.
If you could spend three hours and 17 minutes trying to explain why your all-time favorite movie is a masterpiece, would you do it? Damn right! Your host of Considering the Cinema, Jason Pyles (aka “Jay of the Dead”), has spent years trying to explain why M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village (2004) is his all-time favorite film and and cinematic masterpiece. It is doubtful that anyone will listen to all three hours and 17 minutes, but Jay just had to put this out there on the official record. Plus, if someone ever asks for an explanation again, this episode exists!
Don’t worry, this isn’t a three-hour solocast! In Episode 032, Jay welcomes three different special guests, including his wife, Natalie Pyles, filmmaker and podcaster Joshua Ligairi, and filmmaker Mack Robins. This episode is comprised of five sections, namely Section 1: Memories of Opening Night with guest Natalie Pyles, Section 2: Box Office, Section 3: Story and Theme with guest Wolfman Josh Ligairi, Section 4: Technical Filmmaking and Soundtrack with guest Mack Robins, and Section 5: Listener Question and Concluding Thoughts. Listen as long as you’re able!
Warning: This episode will have major plot spoilers for M. Night Shyamalan’s “The Village” (2004).
