Unbreakable with Matt Patches
Matt Patches (Thrillist, Grantland) joins Griffin and David this week to discuss Shyamalan\u2019s fourth feature, Unbreakable. This sad and muted superhero film where mostly nothing happens was seen by many critics and fans as a \u201csophomore slump\u201d when released in 2000. But what are some of it\u2019s redeeming qualities? How does it stand out among the Marvel superhero movie craze in the years that followed?\nOh and is there a twist you ask? Well listen along as the gang unpacks the making and reception of Unbreakable, together examine the stylistic choices incorporating the visual language of comic books, begin to notice a pattern of recurring themes related to loveless marriages and disturbed children, and try to shake the dead eyes of Spencer Treat Clark.\n\nJoin our Patreon for franchise commentaries and bonus episodes.\nFollow us @blankcheckpod on Instagram, Threads, Facebook and X! \nBuy some real nerdy merch.\nConnect with other Blankies on our Reddit or Discord\nFor anything else, check out BlankCheckPod.com \nLearn more about your ad choices.
