Paul shares the exciting news that A Head Full of Ghosts has wrapped filming in the Dublin area — the same region where Victorian Psycho was filmed — and is expected to be released about a year from now. The hosts express genuine excitement about the adaptation, and Paul jokes about the director being his 'Austrian niece and nephew.'
