In this bonus edition of The Pod Charles Cinecast, we reach the end game of our two ongoing side ventures – BRUCE WILLS US: A Pod Charles Cinecast Brucie Bonus, where we've been looking at some of our favourite films from Bruce Willis every once in a while on the main timeline, and SHYAMALAMANIA, where we've been charting the films of M. Night Shyamalan in special Patreon exclusives.
Join hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas, as they head back to Philadelphia to see how their favourite a former football player turn invincible security guard, David Dunn, is doing, after spending the last near 20 years honing his real-life superhero powers.
But first, the boys must meet the Beast! That's because in 2016, M. Night delivered, probably, the first ever "stealth sequel" and first ever supervillain origin story in one package with SPLIT. James McAvoy stars as Kevin, a man with dissociative identity disorder who kidnaps and imprisons three teenage girls (one of which is Anya Taylor-Joy) in an isolated underground facility.
The film might have pissed off some people in the mental health community, but it marked a true return to form for M. Night, where he captivated audiences with a truly gripping story, featuring McAvoy in one of his career best performances. Then, M. Night shattered our brains by placing a Bruce Willis as David Dunn cameo at the end of this what felt like a standalone story, making it part two in the Unbreakable Universe aka the Eastrail 177 Trilogy.

M. Night would follow up with GLASS in 2019, bringing back David Dunn (Willis), who is on the lookout for a super strong man known as the Beast (McAvoy). After their initial encounter, both men are arrested and sent to a psychiatric hospital, where a doctor (Sarah Paulson) attempts to convince them their "powers" are just in their heads. However, Elijah Price aka Mr. Glass, the returning Samuel L. Jackson, is also a patient in this facility, and has other plans for his superhero brethren.

We end where we began with this double episode, and as always there is some clunky writing, bad acting, a few silly twists, with a pinch of Biblical references and potential allusions to M. Night's career – all the ingredients that make an M. Night film great.

"This was an origin story the whole time."
