## 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 After Earth and next time we'll be back with The Visit. Also Check out our Patreon for last month's watchalong of The Last Airbender, also with Austin. Cypher Raige is the Prime Commander of the United Ranger Core, hero of humanity and the originator of Ghosting, a technique for suppressing emotions that allows one to become invisible to The Ursa, genetically modified monsters set loose upon the human colony of Nova Prime. His son, Kitai Raige, is a high performing and ambitious cadet, whose guilt about the death of his sister and his need to prove himself to his demanding and distant father keep him from achieving Ranger status. In an effort to bond, they board a ship to Cypher's last ever missing... until it crash lands on an inhabitable Earth: the first humans in 1000 years to walk its surface. Kitai must prove himself to his injured father, brave the surface of the hostile world, avoid or defeat the Ursa, and launch a beacon to their planet to await rescue. Featuring Keith Carberry ( @KeithJCarberry , @KeithJCarberry ), Sylvi Bullet ( @SYLVIBULLET ), Ali Acampora ( @Ali-online ), Arthur Martinez-Tebbel ( @amtebbel ) and Austin Walker ( @austinwalker ) for his debut on the main feed of Season 2 Produced by Keith Carberry Music by Jack de Quidt (available at notquitereal.bandcamp.com ) Special Outro by Keith Carberry 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!
