Don’t worry about Thyrone Tommy looking all serious in his publicity photo; his episode of Someone Else’s Movie is loose, light and funny, as you’ll discover today.

Thyrone — whose Learn to Swim was one of my favorite discoveries at TIFF last year — wanted to talk about Ghost, the Swayze/Demi/Whoopi supernatural romance/comedy/thriller that conquered the box-office in 1990, won a couple of Oscars and now feels like the last gasp of weird-ass studio pictures that managed to connect with everybody in the room despite being almost impossible to describe with a straight face. But somehow, Jerry Zucker — the Naked Gun guy! — made it work.

You probably haven’t thought about Ghost in a long time. Thyrone would like that to change. And you know how to make it happen: Subscribe to the podcast on Apple PodcastsGoogle Play and Stitcher and get the episode immediately, or download it directly from the web.

And enjoy the bonus Titanic and All About Eve content, that’s our gift to you.  Fun fact: If you’d like to hear more about those movies, Harvey Guillen’s Titanic episode is waiting for you right here on the feed, while Natalie Merchant’s episode on All About Eve is part of the SEMCAST YEAR ONE package, available with 51 other early episodes for just twenty Canadian dollars. Trust me, it’s worth it.
