OK, I love the podcast, like A LOT, but Ugh, I strongly dislike this film. I think it exemplifies everything that a modern American moviegoer would think makes a good/great movie - a great twist. Knowing the twist ABSOLUTELY destroys this film, and it has little to explore beyond the twist. Citizen Kane has a twist - spoiler: Rosebud is a SLED!, yet the twist is sprinkles on an already great sundae as opposed to the sundae itself (I'm sure there is an empty calorie analogy in there somewhere). Shawshank is the same, the twist only punctuates a fantastic film. One of my favorite critics, Jonathan Rosenbaum, while reviewing "Memento", which I like much better than TSS, said it was "more a puzzle than a meaningful story". I feel that applies here. To me, The Sixth Sense is a one trick pony.
On a side note, both Amy and Paul are getting "trope" happy. They are in love with that word I guess, but it's a goofy word that I haven't heard outside of the podcast in my life. They use it in almost every episode it seems. I like Amy's foul mouth though, more of that!!!
