0:00.0	Hold hands, close your eyes. It's half past midnight, and you're listening to the Ghost
0:24.6	story, guys. Welcome to the Ghost Story, guys. I'm Brennan Store. I'm Paul Bestol, and this is the
0:34.4	show where we talk about spooks, spectres, and all the other things watching us from the shadows
0:38.9	beyond the campfire. Some conversations only make sense after the sun has set, and this is most
0:45.2	definitely one. Thanks for tuning in. This is episode number 147, and as always, we're coming
0:50.1	from that tiny mountain cabin you dream about, but can never quite reach. Paul, my friend, how are
0:55.9	you? I'm very well. I have survived watching 12 minutes of killer piñata, and I am here to tell
1:03.1	you not to do the same. Yes, because I don't know how much of you survived, but you are physically
1:08.5	here, if not spiritually. Yes, a little bit of me died during those 12 minutes, but thankfully,

1:40.5	that, anyways, yeah, we were approached recently by someone. I won't say who, but the answer was no.
1:46.9	Did that end begin with A?
1:50.7	The end with F is what it begins with. It is briefly just again, get it out of the way now.
1:56.3	It's a sad day in Canadian film, Paul, because it was just reported before coming on air that
2:01.5	Mick Moff filmmaker Jeff Barnaby, who made the brilliant zombie film Blood Quantum. He just died
2:07.4	after a year-long battle with cancer. Yeah, he was based out of here at Montreal, and folks,
2:13.0	if you haven't seen Blood Quantum, I haven't seen his first film. I want to say it was Rhymes
2:17.4	for young ghouls. I have not seen that, but Blood Quantum was very, very good and very promising
