This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve cover 2010's The Ghost Writer, a book adaptation directed by the controversial figure Roman Polanski and stars Ewan McGregor, Pierce Brosnan and Olivia Williams.  Between all the political intrigue, deception, manipulation, war crimes and paranoia - this underseen gem will keep you busy.

Join us as we discuss equilibrium shifting vortices, New York mayor Eric Adams and why he should do less interviews, address the obligatory confusion between this flick and the Nic Cage Ghost Rider as well as the early 90's PBS kids show Ghost Writer and because we recorded this a little in advance, we'll finish off with a few favorite classic and a couple deep cut holiday flick recommendations as we skate right on by the season and into the new year.

The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, guided this time by Obi-Wan himself are once again beckoned to follow a mystery wrapped in an enigma all while we try not to get in over our blowholes - may the phocoena be with us.

He's a ghost, and he writes to us.  Ghostwriter.

Let's wax this autobiographical porpoise.
