Movies can transport us to strange and wonderful dreamworld, including a world where a UK Prime Minister faces real risk of arrest from the International Court of Justice. From director Roman Polanski comes the greatest movie ever made about pesky extradition treaties: THE GHOST WRITER (2010).

Yes! An episode on “The Ghost Writer” has been LOOONNNGGG overdue for this podcast! Trudeau can go fuck himself.

I now wish I had been contacted to be the head writer of this sequel West Wing series. I could easily write something memorable. I understand that’s not the point of why this is being made, but still.

I’m voting for Cuck Sorry specifically to get the west wing back on television.

10/10 needledrop, Martin Noakes the GOAT

Kenny Hedges

Oh Sorkin was absolutely still writing it when he assassinated the leader of the fake Middle Eastern country, that was the end of Season 3.

Sam Harrison

Wow, just watched this movie and thought it was really good.

The baffling power & reach of the ICJ is instrumental to the project imo. Harris positioned the writing process of the novel as a sort of exorcism for his ex-Blairite zealot days. Before building his middlebrow airport thriller empire, he was a political journalist & close friend of Blair. The release of the novel coincided with the last days of his premiership and I distinctly remember Harris using the opportunity to widely explore his complex and guilt-ridden relationship with New Labour (what percentage of that was pure marketing strategy is entirely up to interpretation). The personal and psychological impulses of Harris/Polanski are front and center in the book and the film.

I nominated The Ghost Writer a few cycles back, and it got a good showing. I'm glad to see it get an episode. By the way, the Dreyfus affair book is also a Harris & Polanski collaboration/adaptation.

You bring up the implausibility of the ICC issuing arrest warrants for a former British PM and particularly that the British government would even entertain the possibility of handing him over to them, but I had a much harder time getting past that. For my taste, it was much too flattering to the British and too eager to portray their subservience to the US and participation in the worst abuses of the War on Terror as an outlier that doesn't truly reflect on them.

Joe Estévez is the only President I recognize.

Is Will Sloan aware that his recent pro-palestinian post was reshared by Mia Khalifa? get her on the show!

Patrick ODonnell

I’m glad that someone else had “The Trial of Tony Blair” in their head after watching this film

Unrelated, but went to a recent Q&A of Texas Chainsaw Massacre moderated by Eli Roth, who outside of his poor moderating, claimed that the film was actually about the fears of AI.

Ambrose Honeysuckle

Terrific episode! A funny anecdote from when this film first released: I was a full-on evangelist for the picture, and told everyone I could of how excellent it was...the problem was, most assumed I was talking about the horrid Nicolas Cage film "Ghost Rider."
