Due to the Anti Ecto Acts, Danny decides it would be safer to leave the United States and live abroad.
One late evening walking down the streets of London, he sees some blonde dude get thrown out of a bar. Normally he would keep walking, but this guy is surrounded by ghosts. That's not too unusual in itself. It's relatively common for him to see one or two ghosts trailing after a living. What gives him pause is the sheer amount of ghosts haunting this drunk, sad-looking trenchcoat man.
"Catastrophe, from start to finish. Inexcusable, stupid, bloody shameful catastrophe. No one to blame. I hold the smoking gun-- the accusatory fingers point my way. Still, we all make mistakes-- don't we? Even demons. The only difference is, I've paid for mine. Two years in Ravenscar Secure Facility for the Dangerously Deranged. We all paid. Anne-Marie took holy orders. Benjamin got his stutter. Lester got his junk habit. Ritchie went into computers. Judith went to work with abused children and Frank went off biking around the world. And, just as the demon promised, hell took them, everyone. But, like I say. We all make mistakes-- and the demon was finally telling me his name. Nergal. Nergal. This is where we started it and this is where it'll finish."

Question for Ben: If you could have any super power, which one would you want and why? - from, Foxesandmagic
“I think John Constantine is proof that power isn’t a good thing. Though being able to fly like Superman would be neat.”
John: Our only hope to win this war is this kind, selfless, amazing nerd.
Ben: Do you have to call me a nerd so much?
John: I said a lot of other really nice things. Toughen up, nerd.

34. Better Off Single (2016)
Director: Benjamin Cox
Rating: 5/10
I... don’t know how I feel about this movie? It was entertaining, but was it really that good? Who’s to say. Probably someone writing a review of it, so that would be me.
While Aaron Tveit’s performance is pretty great, Better Off Single just... falls short. Tveit plays Charlie, who is newly single and has been recently laid off. The film follows Charlie through a mental breakdown upon grieving his relationship with his ex-girlfriend.
Better Off Single becomes a slightly disorienting film to experience when Charlie’s seemingly unreliable narration flips back and forth between the past and present. Flashbacks aren’t made quite clear until the scene has been long established, and then the film quickly shuffles back to the present with just as much haste. Couple this with a script that feels like it’s trying too hard to be clever and you have yourself a mediocre film.
In the end, Charlie ends up finding a new love in a very (500) Days of Summer fashion. His character, however, is not very dynamic, which makes the abrupt change in tone in the concluding monologue quite unbelievable.
Are the characters likeable? Somewhat, but not enough to make up for the pitfalls that Better Off Single faces.
