## Resource

Welcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us. This season we're watching a selection of M Night Shyamalan movies. This episode we watched The Village and next time we'll be back with Lady in the Water. The Village is an isolated, idyllic(?) settlement deep in the forest, surrounded by dangerous, territorial, but ultimately peaceable creatures called, by the Villagers, The Ones We Don't Speak Of. In this movie a generation of elders use fear and love to control a new generation of children, but the promises of the outside world (and the increasing danger and dissatisfaction inside the village itself) is too strong a call. The Village is a movie about where Peace and Innocence come from, how evils are movtivated by love and fear, but without a solid grasp on the answers to those questions. Sometimes boring and slow, sometimes exciting and beaituful, and often shallow and patronizing. Featuring Keith Carberry ( @KeithJCarberry , @KeithJCarberry ), Sylvi Bullet ( @SYLVIBULLET ), Ali Acampora ( @Ali-online ), Arthur Martinez-Tebbel ( @amtebbel ), ans Jack De Quidt ( @notquitereal ) Produced by Keith Carberry Music by Jack de Quidt (available at notquitereal.bandcamp.com ) Cover Art by by Annie Johnston-Glick ( @dancynrew ) anniejg.com To find the screenshots for this episode, check out this post on our patreon, friendsatthetable.cash This episode was made with support from listeners like you!
