GHOST

What if Oda Mae Brown was Mercury in disguise...

Welcome to our inaugural episode of Cosmic Valley Girl: The Mediumship is the Message.

Cosmic Valley Girl investigates how media and pop culture portrays the unportrayable — namely the esoteric, the mystical, the miraculous — and how these collective attempts at “capturing” the unknown shape the way we experience them ourselves.

As we wander through pop culture departure points in each episode, we’ll identify the (sometimes) obscured mystical references sprinkled throughout our favorite books, movies, and TV shows.

For our first season, we’ll explore the concept of ghosts and hauntings and how both are portrayed throughout pop culture and art.

Ghost: Haunted By Love

In this episode, we delve into the classic 1990 film 'Ghost,' exploring its themes of love, the supernatural, and the clash between capitalism and artistry.

We discuss the impact of a total solar eclipse on our recording, the iconic pottery scene, the screenplay's origins, and how the movie's portrayal of ghosts and mediums stands up.

Additionally, we reflect on the cultural impact of 'Ghost' on rom-coms and supernatural narratives since its release. With insights into character dynamics, metaphysical elements, and New York City's role as a cinematic character, this discussion offers a comprehensive analysis of 'Ghost' and its lasting legacy.
