Philosophy In Film - 078 - Ghost

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the gang at Philosophy in Film explores love and the afterlife in 1990’s surprise Box Office smash, Ghost, starring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, Tony Goldwyn, and Whoopi Goldberg. Tag along this journey of treachery and self-discovery beginning with Producer’s Notes (5:40), then Alain gives his patented Beauclair Synopsis (13:46). Next, Craig takes us down the winding turns of Philosopher’s Corner (24:00), then the gang dukes it out over the Round Table (33:16), with Reviews (1:40:15) and Mailbag (1:49:58) lighting the way to the end. As always, we discuss the philosophical and non-philosophical aspects of the movie that caught our attention, and even some deep diving takes on a classic film.    Featured Beer: My Best Friend’s Girl - The Establishment Brewing Company (Calgary, Alberta)  

Om Podcasten

Do you like movies and philosophy? If so then "Philosophy In Film" is the podcast for you. We are three almost cool dudes who like talking about the philosophical dimensions of film. Two of us have PhDs in philosophy, while our show producer helps to keep us grounded with his wry humor and "man behind the glass" insights. Each episode draws upon a well-known movie in order to help animate and illuminate a basic philosophical theme or question. We also like to enjoy a feature "episode beer" to help deepen our philosophical thoughts. Come join our conversation at "Philosophy in Film."
