WTF! The only way to describe this week's film. Journey with us as we unveil the next cask in our series titled "The Gun and the Girl." This is going to be a dark, strange trip into the genre known as Film Noir. The first stop down the dark alley is a look at the film, Serenity, starring two Academy Award winning actors. Serenity follows the tropes of a traditional Film Noir that houses a deep, dark secret. The flight for the week asks, "What's the best on-screen chemistry we've seen in film history?" We wrap up this fever dream with an interesting nightcap that asks, "What setting would you like to see a Neo-Noir set in, that we haven't seen?" So just drink straight from the bottle for this episode and get ready to go fishing for the big tuna!

Today, we disembark on the final stop of Eastrail 177 with the highly anticipated release of Glass. A sequel, 19 years in the making, is something fans have been clamoring for since the that fateful twist ending at the end of Unbreakable. Is this the satisfying conclusion to the remarkable trilogy, or does Shyamalan revert back to those dark days of the later 2000s. Journey with us as we breakdown the film for all its brilliance and shortcomings. The flight for this week asks, "What is the best 3rd entry in a film series?" We conclude this podcast with the nightcap which ponders, "What is the worst 3rd entry in a film series?" So pour yourself a stiff one, or a double and get ready to hear all about the tales of the Overseer, Mr. Glass, and The Horde. Cheers!

Welcome back to Rye Smile Films! This week we continue our trek on Eastrail 177 with a trip to the world of Split starring James McAvoy. This film serves as the delicious appetizer to this week's release of Glass. Is Split a return to form for M. Night Shyamalan or is this another serious misstep for the once promising director? The flight for this week plays "what if" and what sequel we could erase from human existence. Our night cap for the week asks, "What is one sequel we never got, that we so desperately needed. Sit back, pour yourself one on the rocks, and get ready for the second stop on Eastrail 177. Cheers!

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Rye Smile Films, the new film review podcast that highlights new/old and strange films. In anticipation of the release of the film, Glass, we look at the film that started it all, Unbreakable. Does the first part of the Eastrail 177 Trilogy suffer the same fate of some of Shyamalan’s other films, or is it a criminally underated classic. Our flight for the week will also include a review of the most surprising and disappoint films of 2018. We conclude with a nightcap and a look forward with our picks for most anticipated film of 2019. So pour yourself a stiff one and dive right in with a trip to the early days of M. Night Shyamalan. Cheers!
