Brad and Brian review M. Night Shyamalan's Split.

[@queenfan45]

Split ending One half of the audience went "Wait, what?" Other half went "Wait... WHAT?!"

[@anilate]

Kyle Mikesell Similar case when I saw it. I got there so early, I saw the previous showing let out. I overheard a lot of people saying "So that ending...what was it?" Meanwhile, when I finally saw it, my jaw dropped.

[@queenfan45]

Bryan Merrill II One guy behind me went "Wait, wasn't he dead in Sixth Sense?"

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

Kyle Mikesell Somehow, I got it. I've never actually seen Unbreakable, but I still understood it as soon as the credits started rolling because I had heard the name before. "Mr. Glass".

[@lorelaisteele-jimenez2952]

Kyle Mikesell well said Sir.

[@viddergrapho8488]

This made me cry laughing because it was me and my friend the other day. I had to explain to her why I was freaking out. Now if I can find a copy of Unbreakable we'll have another movie night

[@cocolime6496]

I wonder if Shyamalan purposely pushed to have this released in January because he knew people would go in with lowered expectations. Double twist!!

[@rogerpuzzitiello5175]

What if he's been purposely been making shitty movies to make us think he was bad and surprise us with films like this? Triple twist!!!

[@bailieboo6502]

Roger Puzzitiello Twistception.

[@aadityabhattacharya]

Roger Puzzitiello u know what seeing how insane his work is I can't ignore that possibility

[@geodaet83]

uh oh, that almost sounds like the creation of a Shymalan Cinematic Universe. Well, if his future movies will be good, I don't mind.

[@FrancisXLord]

That's a great idea actually. Everyone should be trying to create their own cinematic universe, what with 'star interest' waning. People are less concerned what films stars are making these days, they are more concerned with following series of films.

[@shiro5684]

geo-diet there was a Shyamalan cinematic universe, "Devil" was the first entry in the cinematic universe

[@geodaet83]

FX-Lord: Well, I think there is just one problem with that idea, the movies of a CU should be able to stand on their own and present self-contained stories. So far I think most of them handle that fine (maybe except for the Pirates of the carribean sequels), but if we get more and more movies which only task is to set up or maintain some sort of CU... well lets see how long it will take for people to get sick of the next Marvel movie or some completely unneeded Star Wars Sidestory... I think its fine as a kind of gimmick for movies but it shouldn't become the main focus

[@Painocus]

The Pirates of the Caribbean sequels were literately sequels. Movies have been making sequels since forever. Sequels do not need to "stand on their own and present self-contained stories". They are *sequels*.

[@geodaet83]

Youre right, PotC is a bad example. However, then what makes a movie being a Cinematic Universe and not just a series of movies like Halloween or Terminator or whatever. For example what makes Rogue one an entry in the Star Wars CU instead of being the prequel to ep4? couldn't you argue that Terminator Genesys recently also tried to create a kind of CU, though it failed miserably? But Genesys is also kind of a sequel to old entries... I dunno... In any case, I disagree that sequels don't have to stand on their own. I think every good movie, also sequels should be their own thing. I mean, for example, if you watch Aliens and haven't seen Alien, its still a damn good movie, or if you watch Terminator 2 without having seen T1. Thats what I mean by self contained, of course there can be connection to the movies before and after , but the story arc of this movie is contained in itself. They don't exist to just set up the next movie or deliver an afterthought to the previous one.

[@qlipothian]

I was expecting McAvoy to turn into a werewolf at the end.

[@cloak5857]

I thought the same thing after seeing the trailer, all that talk about "the beast".

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

Qliphothian After a while, I accepted that it was most likely not going to be the case.

[@theAngryscotman]

I thought he was going to turn into some kind of demon creature when Dennis was describing the Beast as having long black hair and long fingers.

[@devinbell4816]

Is Brian bringing his slaves to the movies again and hiding them in the backseat?

[@billybarnett9518]

If by slave you mean wife, then yes

[@FrancoisDressler]

What's the difference?

[@Megramia288]

Das Kinophile ENTP I thought it was Brad's gal.

[@Psycomantis1]

That's racist!......Wait, no it isn't!

[@lil_dak_1587]

She does sort of look like a child though.

[@NidorinoAlliance]

Who's the prisoner in the back seat?!?

[@peteisgod66]

Letty, Brian's wife. She doesn't like to be on camera, so she sits in the back. She usually goes with Brian and Brad.

[@BloodylocksBathory]

She's doing a crap job at being out of view then, lol.

[@Cheyne_TetraMFG]

Brian Jones they're in Springfield, Illinois in January...probably pretty cold to stand outside for a half hour.

[@33melonpaws77]

brian thats a horrible thing to say

[@josephgatts1679]

There is an apparition in the back seat. Also, what if Tommy Wiseau was cast instead of James McAvoy?

[@GraphiteShores]

Then you would have the best movie of the year. "Do you want to see my window, HUH?"

[@jonathansefcik473]

We NEED a sequel where David Dunn and Kevin Wendell Crumb either fight or join forces and form a Shyamalan Avengers.

[@spenfwlrjr]

Kevin killed three people, two by eating them alive, they are going to fight.

[@MagusMirificus]

You know, I remember in one of Brad's earliest Midnight Screenings, one of his co-hosts brought up Gilmore Girls, and Brad mentioned that he had never seen it. It amuses me to no end that now he makes a Gilmore Girls reference about once every three episodes.

[@MarkyMatey]

The twist was genius. Unbreakable is my favorite M. Night film. To see David knowing about Kevin makes me excited.

[@TheTrueReiniat]

Jesus Christ was Split so good that you had to find the positives in freaking Avatar?? I have to see it now.

[@DragonPrincessAoife]

Anyone else creeped out by the person in the back?

[@Daddy0os]

g-g-g-g-GHOST

[@johnwitkus]

Max Barr Nothing creepy about not wanting to be on camera

[@DragonPrincessAoife]

Well, when someone isn't mentioned/noticed and then suddenly there, it's kinda creepy.

[@HyenaDandy]

I think it's just Offscreen Letty.

[@FrancisXLord]

I was about to say I'm surprised she just sat there in 'bored silence' for the whole 30 minutes the video took to record, then I noticed she was on her smartphone. She probably thought it was five minutes.

[@trinidadbotello9906]

The movie was good, and now I'm gonna watch Unbreakable.

[@justinmcarthur4807]

Every time I watch a movie now I wonder two things. The first is what my wife thought about the movie, the second is what Brad thought about it

[@Land_Of_The_Cliffs]

It's always a treat to see Brad laugh.

[@antonisgoumas]

I love this film. Totally worth seeing!

[@dodson43]

Letty in the back of the car again?

[@ns6438]

dodson43 It's just the ol' back seat monster again.

[@Agent57000DM]

I think that's Laura.

[@TheBrianJ]

That's just the Bye Bye Man. Don't think about his name or he'll summon massive crowds of annoying teenagers.

[@ns6438]

R Ward​ Probably would've made a better movie.

[@shiro5684]

dodson43 no, that was me. they don't really know me aside from the 2 times i met brad at conventions. i broke into their car and his in the backseat because i wanted to be in the video. i walked home once the drove home and got out of the car.

[@theoriginalmrjguill3803]

I just come back from the theatre from watching this. And after seeing that ending with Super Hero Man, Its safe to say.....I just got SHYAMALAN'd. 😲😲😲

[@8Bitnoobgamer]

I love that they decided to do this review while recreating the kidnapping scene in the movie.

[@humanconvertile]

Whether M. Knight does a good movie or a bad movie, you're in for something fun and entertaining, just either in the right or wrong ways.

[@Cheesypotato57]

Glad to hear the Shammy Whammy get back into his groove. I remember being intrigued by the trailer, and after noticing his name hastily thrown on at the end, going "Ah! I saw that!"

[@Demonanimator]

Brad, i tried Crystal Pepsi for the first time after finally finding it in my town. It's just Pepsi.

[@WordUnheard]

The twist to Midnight Screenings? Turns out, the person in the back has been filming their own web series, "Backseat Reviewer" the entire time.

[@caitlinrobinson6812]

Got a Spanish ad for Split before this review. :)

[@myu2k2]

Caitlin Robinson I got an ad for bipolar depression medicine

[@nowknowthis]

I got chills watching the ending of the film. I was like... wait... no... wait..NO! WHAT??!! YESS!!!

[@nickmattio3397]

Freddy Krueger in the backseat for the 2-1 Split special lol

[@dallasdandigitalproduction393]

Great review guys. Im Very excited to see it now. Mackavoy was good in Wanted. Cant wait to see anything by M.Knight.

[@HippieGoddess142]

Clicked on it so fast to see your take on this shitty film.

[@RiverTheOneandOnly]

Hippiegoddess142 really? it looks like it would be good from the trailers though?

[@HippieGoddess142]

Mysterious Madame Matt The anti-mental illness and stigmatizing DID marketing is a turn off.

[@RiverTheOneandOnly]

Hippiegoddess142 anti-mental illness?? I don't think that was their goal. or at least I didn't see it that way. he was a psycho, who, in addition to being a killer, has a mental illness. I wouldn't see this and be afraid of people with mental disabilities, but it's true that some people with mental illness CAN go off handle and do something crazy, especially if they go unnoticed or untreated. ya know??

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

Going into a movie like this to expect a realistic portrait of multiple personality disorder is like going into Psycho for a keen insight on dissociative identity disorder. No one is going to think that people with multiple personalities are going to grow a beast-like combination of personalities, and the filmmakers don't literally think that either. This isn't Vaxxed.

[@HippieGoddess142]

Mysterious Madame Matt That's the problem. If we are constantly getting the "Mentally ill people with psychosis are crazy and dangerous," narrative, that is the stigma. Of course there are mentally people ill people who kill and do bad things but it has nothing to do with their illness. It's using mental illness as the crux of a horror film, and it's cliche. Also the movie just did not appear good until they confirmed it was not cinenatically bad.

[@talynhastime9343]

Don't care about the controversy surrounding it, still gonna see it.

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

Talyn has time Haven't even heard of a controversy surrounding it and it's actually pretty good, if you can embrace the "beast" concept. And in fact, the film does have a solid basis for that.

[@Lesnooch]

I really loved The Visit, when that came out I was so hoping Shyamalan was back in form. And it looks like he is. Definitely going to see Split soon.

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

I have never seen more than a clip for "Unbreakable" in a top ten list that I only now remember, and I still got the reference at the end.

[@tarlx902]

Even bigger twist. THERE'S SOMEONE IN THE BACK SEAT!

[@adamtherock2008]

This movie was friggen nuts! I loved it!

[@superdupermej]

Got to love the uproar of people claiming that this movie demonizes people with split personalities, only took them over 100 years of movies to finally have a villain with a mental disorder...

[@shmikex]

I was really hoping that the twist was that McAvoy is actually playing 24 people and that the girls all perceive the character to be this single form (due to trauma or even the drugs they got knocked out with in the beginning). The reveal would be when they were rescued and everyone on the rescue team looks like McAvoy (think the Malkovich scene in Being John Malkovich).

[@chihirok1588]

Woah! It didn't suck?! Sweet!! (Though, tbh, I really liked The Village and Signs was cool when I was really little. I always liked the lack of music in Signs.)

[@chihirok1588]

***** I enjoyed that one. I liked the camerawork a lot.

[@lawrencescales9864]

Chihiro K I like the village too and it was shot in my area, maybe I'm biased but I agree with you on that xD

[@kaydenpat]

Chihiro K Loved Unbreakable and Lady In The Water too.

[@emmaduncan2991]

it looks like the boys have a hostage lurking behind Brad.

[@lasthavoc]

Took me 7.5 minutes to realize there was a girl sitting in your back seat.

[@sherriemoon703]

Ok who's hiding in the back seat. Are you setting up for a horror jump scare

[@SsnakeBite]

I've been looking forward to this review. The trailers got me genuinely interested but I also thought it had the potential of being hilariously bad if handled poorly. Plus it looked like the actors were actually awake, unlike with most Shyamalan movies. And since Brad seems to at least respect Shyamalan even though he admits he hasn't made a good movie in ages, it should be interesting to see what he thinks of this.

[@samanthanickson6478]

the reason why saying kevin's whole name only worked once is bc the dominant personalities said they put him away and said he wouldn't be coming back for a really long time. its bc of Kevin that the girl got the shotgun and almost ended it for all 24 of his personalities, the end only he wanted. his presence, him getting well, endangers their existence.

[@CigaretteCrayon]

I actually have DID, and I'm not sure what to make of this movie, but I've yet to see it. Not boycotting it, just, I don't know. Haven't gone to see it, for whatever reason.

[@futuremovieactor]

You and Dave should still do an MS on I'm Not Ashamed even though you just did the Snob episode.

[@pimpin8216]

They might but it's a very touchy subject to continue to make videos off of. Plus outside of the tastelessness of the movie it's just meh nothing to lull over.

[@Cheesefist]

It will be cool to see David Dunn Vs The Beast in Unbreakable 2

[@outsidelookinginprod]

His villain name is The Hoard.

[@Nightshift10000]

So what's new from m. night shyama-lama-ding-dong today?

[@myboy2211]

I guessed the twist after I saw the first trailer.

[@captainmarvelous7678]

Jenny Block u did not guess the final twist. There's nothing in the trailer to hint at it

[@kaneinight]

Unfortunately it's literally impossible to judge the ending on its quality without spoiling it. It really is an ending you either understand but are disappointed by, you understand and love it, or don't get at all and hate it. For me, it ruined the movie. If this film had been allowed to be its own thing, I would say it's fantastic.

[@parkerh2333]

I'm sorry but that's actually impossible.

[@trtx84]

The only thing that bothered me about the film was it did a great job of "show don't tell" but then told anyway. It feels like the doctor had a lot of scenes either reshot or redubbed. Like when she's explaining to Barry/Dennis about the trainyard and the beast and Kevin's name there were ways they could've hinted that better than doing what felt like the big red Zelda text. But what I want to do now is go back and rewatch, because I want to see if I can pick out more times when McAvoy hints that it's one personality being the other. Especially the "kiss" scene. It's so amazing watching him switch between them. And if we're in the Unbreakable universe, that means someone has to be McAvoy's opposite right? Those were the rules Dr. Glass laid out. His philosophy seems to be one that would drive him to combat Bruce Willis' character. If he views scars and imperfections as purity than who would be more impure than a man who is literally unbreakable? I don't need a sequel, but I wouldn't turn one down if it came out.

[@David_Axelord]

Stay tuned for the upcoming Unbreakable Cinematic Universe!

[@darthhaze2]

I was interested in this movie when I saw the trailers but didn't want to pay for a ticket to go see it. After seeing this review I might go now!

[@basicindiebro]

my favorite Shyamalan movie: The Sixth Sense. one sentence premise: A boy who can see ghosts gets a new therapist.

[@moomoopuppy5810]

Anya Taylor joy has that signature look (the one in The Witch peek-a-boo scene), the same way Andrew McCarthy (Brat Pack) has his signature "trying not to cry" eyeballs look. I have to watch Unbreakable again before Glass.

[@TheZipperDragon]

The very end of this movie is pretty awesome, & I think eludes to the fact that M. Night is gonna do a sequel to unbreakable.

[@TheTrueReiniat]

I remember there was talk about an Unbreakables movie, which seemed like some sort of passing of the torch (like Watchmen's Nite Owl, or BvS's Batman, except not shitty), with Bruce Willis playing the old battered hero trying to unite a new set of unbreakables to fight a new villain... Now imagine if that villain was McAvoy from Split...

[@pompousproductions]

I'm writing this comment before watching and I'm going to delete it if you mention it. You guys are going to do a Midnight Screenings of "Resurrection of Gavin Stone" right? That's like the only Christian film I've been really interested in. (Probably because it's got both Blumhouse and WWE Studios attached to it)

[@BloodylocksBathory]

You replacing Kevin with Kirk really had me laughing. All of his personalities were so lonely even Animal Planet no longer does it for them!

[@adj789]

WHY ARE THERE PEOPLE BEHIND YOU NOT TALKING!!!??!?

[@irkmcspamtroll2556]

Axe murderers usually dont talk before they kill people.

[@PunkLantern]

I think the reason she doesn't try the name trick again is because The Beast is an over-personality, it may not respond to what is like a post-hypnotic trigger word. Also, that Kevin personality wasn't able to maintain control in the first place, it's not like showing Jason Vorhees his mother's sweater or anything. It would have made him pause again, maybe, but she had the gun and wasn't really having trouble shooting him with it, it just wasn't very effective. Oh, and if you want to finish up the girl's story, watch Aerosmith's "Janie's Got a Gun" as a sequel to this movie.

[@Cosmoline]

AND THE KILLER IS HIDING IN THE CAR!!

[@kilo1012]

AHH, GHOST BEHIND BRAD

[@briancyates1983]

I just wanted to see McVoy play 23 different personalities. I've only seen him as Professor X, but I had a feeling he could pull off something like that and the trailer looked great. I enjoyed the movie.

[@TheEmhalo]

what a twist!

[@invadermarkb]

This movie was fantastic, James McAvoy was both creepy and funny in scenes and I definitely enjoyed this as well as The Visit.

[@jdzencelowcz]

A PG13 psycho-thriller.......that was really good!!! :-O :-D

[@travissavacool6425]

Is this a Split prequel? Two guys kidnap one girl and keep her locked up while they talk about a decent movie?

[@kalron27]

Just watched the sequel to Unbreakable...What a Twist!

[@jdsantibanez]

I loved Lady in The Water. Good review.

[@alexandertownsend9631]

The twist of the video set in 2018 😨

[@Celicagame13]

Thanks Brad, I was torn between this and xXx.

[@memyopinionsche6610]

OK brad who in the back seat of the car? its like the third time a mysterious person in the backseat that says nothing and adds nothing to the conversation.

[@chelseagirl712]

Me my opinion Sche it's probably his girlfriend or someone else who went with them to see the film but didn't want to be in the video. This is quite common, and I think it's usually Brad's girlfriend.

[@memyopinionsche6610]

Its still kinda weird and creepy. I keep wanted to scream the killer is in the back seat watch out.

[@devinbell4816]

Brian's wife

[@SpokaneJohn]

Great film

[@marikotrue3488]

Aside from a few overlong therapy scenes, this movie held my attention. However even if this genre is not to someone's taste, the performances of James McAvoy and Anya Taylor-Joy make this movie worth its 1 hour 57 minute runtime. The conclusion was fascinating and strangely (or maybe not) made me laugh.

[@kellyhack867]

So I want to see this movie, but I just read the summary because I wanted to know, and the summary had me on the edge of my seat, like fuck man.

[@nenabunena]

I really enjoyed your funny review

[@romero329]

It took me three minutes to realize there was someone in the backseat.

[@irkmcspamtroll2556]

M. Night Shanomanon is my dad.

[@GigaWhitArtandStuff]

IrkMcSpamtroll Does he work for Nintendo too?

[@crabdragon243]

StoNeeLeGume He works for XBox, PS4, and Nintendo

[@kittenkraze13]

This movie had our theater swarmed with teenagers. All of them were movie hopping. Several of them started a fight in the lobby. We had to have a cop there escorting people out. It was not a fun night for me and the other employees. Fuck PG-13 horror movies for attracting this crowd, but I still want to see the movie.

[@Dj_Real_Eyes_Open]

powerful cinema snob!

[@MJuegaES]

Shayamalan?

[@mrbigstuffication]

They are way too light on The Last Airbender.

[@emperorsean1]

Whose the person in the back

[@billybarnett9518]

Brian's wife

[@Advent3546]

Hey Brad, when can I expect to see your Best of 2016 list pop on my feed?

[@alexisandraphaithe]

is someone hiding in the back seat?!

[@funkyd3321]

Totally disagree about Airbender. That one is just bad bad. But I watch Signs every chance I get. The idea that a super advanced space traveling race of naked invading aliens could be thwarted by a sprinkler system is beyond amusing to me.

[@sallyscotland4481]

Oh my god yes!!!!!!

[@SLATania74]

I must've missed but what did you think of Betty Buckley in the film?

[@Phoneybeetlemaniacxs]

Ia m seeing this nexzt week. I like mcavoy and wondering what shamylon has done.

[@wassera9093]

Even at his worst I think Shaymalan has decent/greatideas. That said, his execution of the films could usually be described as bad, or so bad it is good.

[@TwilightfanNumber]

I have been waiting to watch this review until I saw the movie and I was hoping one of you would have pointed out the speech James McAvoy gave towards the end. Was it just me or did he sound A LOT like Apocalypse from the last X-Men movie?

[@FilmAficionado]

I JUST realized there's a person in the back seat....and it looks creepy

[@TheJordanWS]

This reminds me of that guy in the wheelchair 15 years ago...

[@PowerGlove79]

25:18 , You two don't know how right you were lol

[@kar12894]

i see they kidnapped a woman themselves there

[@ralucabotezatu5816]

The movie sound like The Cell. But that Bugs Bunny hat... deeleecious!

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

Raluca Botezatu It is nothing like the Cell. No dreams and ironically nowhere near as pretentious.

[@ralucabotezatu5816]

The outline of the killer is similar enough to trigger that idea in my mind. But I'm going to make up my mind only after I see it for myself.

[@devinbell4816]

Ask me what it means! Ask me what it means!

[@ralucabotezatu5816]

Shoo, pretentious director, shoo!

[@mitchfarrier2348]

Like, I like don't know. like, should I like see this like possible good like movie? like, what's the like chance of like this not being like a good movie to me? like... I may like see it. all jokes aside, I enjoy these. the "likes" just got to me and I had to say something or turn it off.

[@aliendead7580]

is there a ghost in the car with you?

[@natkatmac]

I'm not saying it should be realistic. It wouldn't be a horror movie then, or any movie in that case. But there are ways to have it be far more believable in the cinematic world it inhabits. Like having it less in-your-face.

[@rezandaigotsu4250]

So Brad, obviously you didn't get to see it yet, but is The Resurrection of Gavin Stone coming to Springfield so you and Dave can go see it?

[@blaa6]

Lady in the Water was fucking incredible.

[@DonPeyote420]

oh fuck you

[@TheZipperDragon]

Bruce Willis' character must've eaten the Gum gum fruit. That's why he has an awesome power, but cant swim.

[@pimpin8216]

Hey Brad are you gonna review the new resident evil movie when it comes out. I know those movies blow but I like em in a guilty pleasure kinda way.

[@MyssBlewm]

Princess Kenny Chances are yes he will. Brad likes the Resident Evil films.

[@simkas]

No he fucking doesn't, when the hell have you heard him say he likes any of them?

[@MyssBlewm]

simkas In the new Underworld review, Brad states that even though the Resident Evil films are stupid they're at least fun to watch, which was more than he could say for the Underworld films.
