1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Hey, Next Picture show listeners, Apologies for no new episode

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: in your feed today. We had to take the week

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: off for a variety of scheduling issues that I won't

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: bore you with, but we'll be back next week to

5
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: kick off our latest pairing, which, as some of you

6
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: noticed and wrote to us about, we neglected to share

7
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 1: at the end of last week's episode. That's because we

8
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: didn't know what it would be yet due to aforementioned

9
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: boring scheduling issues. But we do now, so I'm here

10
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: to tell you that on Tuesday, August thirteenth, we will

11
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: be kicking off a pairing inspired by Pause for Suspense Trap,

12
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: a film so whatever it is that we needed an

13
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: extra week to process it. In m Night, Shyamalan's latest,

14
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: Josh Hartnett plays a seemingly nice, ordinary Philadelphia dad with

15
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: a secret he's actually an elusive serial killer known as

16
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: the Butcher. In the midst of a cat and mouse

17
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: game with law enforcement. As the film opens, he seemingly

18
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: walked into a trap in the form of a concert

19
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: that's both a sting operation in disguise and a stealth

20
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: concert film for Shamalan's daughter performing her own songs as

21
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: the fictional pop megastar Lady Raven. From there, things get

22
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: twistier and odder in a movie that's too uniquely Shamalan

23
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: to draw many direct comparison points. But that baseline premise

24
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: about the frenzied pursuit of a dangerous predator, told in

25
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: part from the perspective of the killer, made us think

26
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: of another one of cinema's great ms, Fritz Lang's classic

27
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: nineteen thirty one crime film M, starring Peter Lori as

28
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: a child murderer doggedly evading capture in Berlin. But there's

29
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: more connecting these two films than just a tortured M

30
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: and M pun So we hope you'll join us on

31
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: what's sure to be a chilling journey to the dark

32
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: side of two metropolises separated by an ocean and nine

33
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: decades
