Not Couple Goals: Ghost (1990)

Welcome to “Not Couple Goals” where co-hosts Allie Nelson and Tyler McCarthy do a deep dive into a different ridiculous romantic thriller from the vantage point of their long-term relationship. Allie, a TV writer/producer and actress, has an affinity for romantic thrillers, the more salacious the better. Tyler, an entertainment reporter and critic, often finds himself drawn in despite his better judgment. Join them as they explore all the ways it’s possible to love too hard… like WAY too hard. This week, Allie and Tyler are joined by their very special guest, editor-in-chief and co-founder of The Pop Break Bill Bodkin, to kick off spooky season with a deep dive on the oft-parodied 1990 classic “Ghost.” Join them as they discuss the deep psychological damage the shadow monsters did to a young Allie, the confusing rules of the afterlife that are never quite laid out and of course the epic romance between Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze/a possessed Whoopi Goldberg. Will Tyler learn the difference between Patrick Swayze and the rapper Shwayze? You’ll have to listen to find out! Special thanks to Mallory Johns for the introduction music.
