"I see cultural references!"
Meghan is Ian's guide through M. Night Shyamalan's first film, the sleeper hit The Sixth Sense (1999). Surprisingly Ian didn't know the Shyamalan-ian twist, but it didn't take him long to figure it out. Also, how cool does Philadelphia look?

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
