Dowd of the genuine artistry in the writer-director’s works, while Dowd counters that style doesn’t always account for substance. As they go back and forth in Chicago’s Star Lounge, the pair discuss the high points of Shyamalan’s filmography, and how the ubiquitous found-footage horror genre can be given new life.
