Ghost (EP13) with Matt Unsworth
Listen now
Description
In this episode, we’re hungry for your touch with the 1990 Patrick Swayze romantic thriller GHOST.   We’re joined by our very first guest, Hollywood screenwriter Matt Unsworth (Happy Together, Heist Podcast) as we first recollect how scary the demons were for us as kids (7:22). We then begin the case for keeping it on the pedestal with all things Whoopi (12:14). We all debate whether it’s worth going crazy for Swayze (18:09), Mike praises the logic of the supernatural plot (28:23), and Unsworth explains why he loves the ending and its possible larger ramifications (38:12). We move on to the case for knocking it off the pedestal with how tonally disjointed it feels throughout (41:06), Pops gets pissed about the rules of being a ghost (44:50), and we wonder if this entire movie runs only on star power (49:45). Finally, after a historic deadlock, Mike on Much co-host and Arkells front man Max Kerman drops in to cast the deciding vote (1:03:22).
