  • SIGNS: Does M. Night Shyamalan’s Alien Invasion Movie Still Hold Up?
    Oct 13 2026

    It’s time to look to the skies as Somewhere on the Screen revisits one of the most memorable alien movies of the early 2000s: M. Night Shyamalan’s SIGNS.

    Ryan joins J.M. McNab, Blain Watters, and Robert LaRonde of the Rewatchability podcast for a hilarious deep dive into the 2002 sci-fi thriller starring Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix. From crop circles and mysterious lights to that unforgettable birthday-party footage, SIGNS helped introduce an entire generation to a very different kind of alien invasion movie. Grab your tin-foil hats, keep a glass of water nearby, and join us for a funny, nostalgic, and occasionally ufological rewatch of SIGNS on Somewhere on the Screen.

  • THE UPRISING: A Secret Origin Story for a Legendary Outlaw?
    Oct 12 2026

    Ryan reviews THE UPRISING, the latest historical action epic from director Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Trilogy, Captain Phillips), starring Andrew Garfield, Woody Norman, and Katherine Waterston Set during England's bloody Peasants' Revolt of 1381, the film follows a grieving farmer who helps ignite a rebellion against a ruthless monarchy. But does Greengrass's signature handheld camerawork and relentless intensity bring this medieval uprising to life, or does the chaos overwhelm the story?


    Also... (SPOILER ALERT) is this a secret origin story of Robin Hood? Join Ryan as he breaks down the performances, action, historical accuracy, surprising ending, and whether The Uprising is worth your time.


    The Uprising also features Cosmo Jarvis, Jamie Bell, Thomasin McKenzie, and Tom Hollander, and Sky Yang and is produced by Blumhouse.
