52. The Happening (2008) with Luke McGregor

Writer/Producer/Comedian Luke McGregor joins the Leguizamarama family this week! He chats with Mish and Zach about M. Night Shyamalan's very odd thriller "The Happening" (which Shyamalan claims to be a spoof, but he only claimed that after it was a flop and it's totally not spoofy enough to be a spoof film, you know what I mean?)

In New York City Central Park, people start to die by mass suicide initially believed to be caused by a bio-terrorist attack using an airborne neurotoxin. This behaviour starts to spread across the east coast of the United States.

The film called "The Happening" stars a miscast Mark Wahlberg as a Philadelphia science teacher and his love interest (a miscast Zooey Deschanel) as they run away from a toxic wind released by some angry plants that makes people want to kill themselves.

John Leguizamo plays a maths teacher. He is also miscast but does the best job at it.
