Episode 115 - Ghosts of Mars
Welcome back to your favorite podcast about some of the most notorious cinema bombs of all time. On this week’s episode, we travel back to Carpentar Land and discuss 2001’s sci-fi/western/horror/action film - Ghosts of Mars. This often-requested film marked John Carpentar’s first exit from Hollywood and was both a financial flop and critical failure. Both critics and audience members gave some pretty brutal reviews when it was first released. To assist in the discussion, the gang welcomes back John and Bret. Statistically, Ghosts of Mars is enjoyed by 1 out of 4 people. Will the podcast crew follow as well? Should we even be talking about statistics on a movie podcast? Listen and find out!
