He confesses his ability to his child psychologist, Dr. Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) who attempts to uncover the truth about Cole’s supernatural abilities. The results for patient and therapist are a jolt that awakens them both to something startling and profound.

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. A beautiful, small movie, The Sixth Sense (1999) warrants multiple viewings, but you will absolutely never forget your first. Join us as we relive our initial encounters with this paranormal classic and ponder its effects on pop culture. 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.
