Notas del episodio
Welcome back to The Scarier Things Club! We promised we'd get to Signs (2002), and this time we kept our word. We're heading into the cornfields with Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix to revisit M. Night Shyamalan's alien invasion classic and talk crop circles, creepy birthday party footage, faith versus coincidence, and why there's a whole lot more going on here than little green men hiding in the corn.
Also: Nicholas Sparks. Bible translations for Frankenstein. Truck-bed tamales. Drag queens. Cornhole. The Bristol Stool Chart. CPAP-related biological warfare. We chase more than a few rabbits before handing out the Dumbest Decision Award, making our Rules of Engagement, testing our chances of surviving an alien invasion, and learning way more than anyone ever asked about alien hygiene. Eventually, we land the plane and answer the important question: Does Signs join the club?
