The Screenwriter Starlet Joke In Mr. Harrigan’s Phone Explained

In Mr. Harrigan’s Phone, the ghostly figure of the Stephen King adaptation tells his young protégé to look up a tasteless screenwriter starlet joke online, and the gag illustrates the movie’s deeper themes. Mr. Harrigan’s Phone tells the story of Craig (Jaeden Martell, Stephen King’s It) a young man who is hired to read for the reclusive elderly billionaire Mr. Harrigan. Craig buys Mr. Harrigan an iPhone and, when the old man dies, Mr. Harrigan’s spirit uses the device to kill Craig’s enemies from beyond the grave.
