Episode 26 - Ghost

Once upon a time (in 1990) there was a movie named "Ghost" that
haunted box offices across the world until it made more than $500
million. "Ghost" scared its audiences with terrifyingly bad
performances, frighteningly cheesy love scenes and startlingly
phony special effects. Its success opened wide the gates of chick
flick hell.


Patrick Swayze plays Sam Wheat, a Wall Street banker with
breathtakingly '80s hair and a penchant for saying, "Ditto."
After dying 20 minutes into the film, Sam's ghost obsessively
stalks his girlfriend, steals $4 million and kills two dudes.


Whoopi Goldberg plays Oda Mae Brown, a prime example of
the Magical Negro movie character cliché who helps
Sam's ghost communicate with his girlfriend, awkwardly fondle her
and foil a sinister plot. Whoopi's supposed "acting" won her the
Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.


Demi Moore plays Molly Jensen, Sam's lousy artist-of-a-girlfriend
who just moved in with him. Her hobbies include pottery, home
decorating and crying a lot. Molly is an extremely weak person
who tends to fully believe whatever the person she talked to last
has said.
