BB.3 - What's the deal with M. Night Shyamalan?
In this Borchelli Bite we put M. Night Shyamalan's career under the microscope! Okay, let's be honest... this is more of a cathartic bitch session. At one time he was the most successful up and coming director in Hollywood, with great films like The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable, but he has since plummeted from grace and made some of the worst pieces of garbage in movie history. We have a great time trashing him as a filmmaker but we also want to give credit where credit is due. Having found some recent success with low budget films like The Visit and Split, we ask the questions ..is M. Night Shyamalan back? Was he even talented to begin with? Take a listen!
WARNING: Major SPOILER ALERT for the film Split!
We are very excited about his upcoming film, Glass <--Click to read more!

Episode 1.7 - Myths & Legends 2 with Jason Colvin
The next Myths and Legends Episode! We recorded this a while ago. Mike was away but I figured I'd get a guest anyway. I found the perfect guest-- Jason Colvin. So we pre-recorded his story and added a unique Mike and Sean intro discussing mythological weapons (mainly because Mike said he would be sad if he wasn't a part of the episode). It's all awesome. Enjoy.
Episode 1.4 - Extended
The Book of Questions leads us down a dark path. How much would you charge to get rid of your neighbour's pet?
