Sometimes a movie comes along that’s so obviously pitched at a specific demographic, you wonder if the studio did a headcount during pre-production to make sure there were enough possible ticket buyers to make it profitable. If so, the producers may have overestimated the appeal of Ghost Rider, the only movie ever made entirely on location on the side of a guy’s van.
Ghost Rider has motorcycles, black leather jackets, chains and flames, skulls, daredevil jumps, heavy metal music and cowboys, and if they’d only included stock car racing and an American flag and made the lead character 100 pounds overweight, it would have been the perfect movie for that demographic.
This week on the podcast, I’m joined by my friend Sloane, the creator of the Hauntwares clothing line, to discuss this Nicolas Cage-infused epic of love, revenge and slow-talking demons. It is a crack-ass crazy film and I’m certain you will want to hear all about it.
The podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, YouTube, Overcast, Audible, Stitcher and lots of other places. Come check it out!

I have to admit the Alternate Ghost Rider Head defines “Logical end point of this madness.”

Two podcasts for Ghost Rider is probably more than it deserves. I appreciated the cemetery set which is an actual cemetery in Melbourne, Australia, where the movie was filmed. I enjoyed Rebel Wilson and “Ghost Riders in the Sky” which was silly but so appropriate. How could they not use it?
