Episode 285: "Ditto" | Ghost (1990)

We've seen enough movies by now to know that you should never walk down a dark street at night after leaving the theater. It didn't work for the Waynes and it didn't work for Sam Wheat. A promising young man with a good job and a woman who loves him, cut down in his prime. Oh, but he's not done yet. He's going to go all Jason Lee Crow on his buddy who betrayed him.
Okay, maybe not. But that sounds fun too. I wonder how The Crow would sound with Unchained Melody playing in the background...?
