I’ve talked about it in previous episodes, however for about 10 years I used to be a part of a bunch that routinely watched films starting from “dangerous” to “befuddling.” We produced a spreadsheet that documented each movie, however sadly I’ve misplaced entry. Ghost Ship was on that record, and as dumb as “Pace 2 with Ghosts” sounds, it actually is not even near the worst content material we noticed.
