*Producer's note, in the synopsis, Arthur references The Sixth Sense as Shyamalan's sophomore feature, it was actually his third feature film. Episode 322 of the GenreCast is the first part of a mega dive into M. Night Shyamalan's Eastrail 177 Trilogy, which features Unbreakable (2000), Split (2016) and Glass (2019). In this episode, we take time to offer our in-depth reviews on each entry in this oddball of a trilogy. Tracking the individual journeys of Bruce Willis's David Dunn, Sam Jackson's Elijah Price and James McAvoy's Kevin Crumb, The Eastrail 177 Trilogy presents a fascinating parallel with the gigantic superhero cycle that spawned alongside it. Make sure you subscribe so you can catch Part Two when it drops next week, wherein we'll expand the syllabus and bring our analysis to each entry and the trilogy itself.
