1999: The Podcast #083 – The Sixth Sense (Julia’s Version) – with Sooz Kempner
The Sixth Sense was one of the biggest movies of the year, second only to The Phantom Menace. And since it’s Halloween and Julia had never seen it before, we thought it was time to take a second look.
A movie best remembered for its plot twist (and the meticulous build up to it), The Sixth Sense is nonetheless at its core a drama about grief. Once you know the ending, the experience of the movie changes. But is it still good? Does M. Night Shyamalan’s breakthrough film deserve its status on the 1999 Mount Rushmore?
For our second go-round on The Sixth Sense, John and Julia invited comedian, actor, and singer Sooz Kempner – who didn’t understand the ending to The Sixth Sense when she saw it at the age of 14 – to talk plot twists, child actors, Bruce Willis, and jump scares.
