Episode 320 The Sixth Sense

M. Night Shyamalan has become a director with a reputation for fantastic twist endings, and this is the film that started that—at times, unfortunate—trend.

Listen… as Johnny Has the Keys turns the red door handle and enters the room where the temperature suddenly drops as people attempt to reach us from beyond the grave.
