CR ep4 Ghost Ship with Ciaran Grace
Episode 4
Show notes
That's cheating! Due to a series of unfortunate events I didn't get a new episode recorded in the last fortnight. Luckily however I had the pilot episode in reserve for just such an occasion. Luckier still, it's a spooooooky movie and this is Halloween week.
Thank you again to Ciaran Grace for his help in recasting. We broke the first rule of the pod by doing a movie trha was made after the year 2000, but hey, we got to hear how much the cast hated this movie, how real life sharks affected the production and Ciaran paints a picture of the Vikings Valhalla set.
