<v Speaker 1>Well return after these messengers. Yeah, he's a resting podcast shown.
<v Speaker 2>March.
<v Speaker 1>Job everybody, welcome to the bonus episode for the month
<v Speaker 1>of July. We are doing Ghostbusters. I'm sorry to ghost Wow.
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe you if I'm lusting makes me feel.
<v Speaker 1>Good, Brosky. This is this is like one of the biggest,
<v Speaker 1>like mean topics since the beginning of the podcast. Brian
<v Speaker 1>not seeing Ghostbusters? Am I right?
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think it's like a kid not watching
<v Speaker 2>w w F. Come on, I think it's I think
<v Speaker 2>I think it's up there. Yes, I am theories, we'll
<v Speaker 2>get it. I could have. I could have skipped this
<v Speaker 2>and said I've seen it so many times, why watch
<v Speaker 2>it back? For his combo me too. I watched it though,
<v Speaker 2>me too, Me too, And I will say without The
<v Speaker 2>only thing in my opinion that does not hold up
<v Speaker 2>is some of the animation of the fucking terror dog.
<v Speaker 2>When he's like chasing Lewis Tully.
<v Speaker 3>It looks like he's made of clay. But that's how
<v Speaker 3>they probably did it right.
<v Speaker 1>Right when you find out that the movie was made
<v Speaker 1>on a thirty million budget, which is like so small,
<v Speaker 1>made three hundred million, like you understand four. Yeah, nineteen
<v Speaker 1>eighty four. Special effects that was fucking great.
<v Speaker 2>And the practical effects. We'll get into it, but I
<v Speaker 2>think that's what makes the movie. Like the eggs cracking
<v Speaker 2>that was CGI now, which I'm sure it would be
<v Speaker 2>it would look CGI. Yeah, that was a practical effect.
<v Speaker 2>All the cars come out of the car catalog. It's
<v Speaker 2>a practical effect that really happened, like it wasn't CGI.
<v Speaker 2>They figured out how to make it happen.
<v Speaker 1>They put a little they put a little explosion in
<v Speaker 1>the egg, pressed a button. All right, but let's not.
<v Speaker 1>We can't bury the lead here. Everybody wants to fucking
<v Speaker 1>know for years, four years, Brian, you gotta see Ghostbusters. Brian,
<v Speaker 1>what did you think.
<v Speaker 3>You really want to like get into it like that.
<v Speaker 3>I just gonna say, let me, I would say, let
<v Speaker 3>me just state my claim. You say, nineteen eighty four. Yes,
<v Speaker 3>I'm born in nineteen eighty five. I'm gonna blame my
<v Speaker 3>brother because he's a nineteen eighty birthday. Everything that I
<v Speaker 3>was younger, that I attached onto was through him. And
<v Speaker 3>I have zero recollection of Ghostbusters. There was no Ghostbuster
<v Speaker 3>toys in my house. There was no Uh, we didn't
<v Speaker 3>watch the cartoon. What I don't recall watching this movie
<v Speaker 3>on television ever in my life. So, and I'm gonna
<v Speaker 3>blame it all on him, but I'm not mad at
<v Speaker 3>him because I wasn't so thrilled with the movie.
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, oh no, oh no, we're here talking out loud.
<v Speaker 3>I want you guys to start off by saying your
<v Speaker 3>earliest memories of this movie, because it's before you guys
<v Speaker 3>are born too.
<v Speaker 2>So explain well, Mark's Mark's fucking forties. He was alive,
<v Speaker 2>Marks and College came out.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I was one years old when you were.
<v Speaker 3>I you were in your dorm room with Jay Silverberger
<v Speaker 3>and Molly Allen.
<v Speaker 2>I was not born when it came out. And honestly,
<v Speaker 2>I don't recall if I saw the movie first or
<v Speaker 2>the real Ghosts cartoon. But my earliest memory.
<v Speaker 3>When does that cartoon come out?
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know. It's eight eighty eight.
<v Speaker 1>I got it. I got it, And the cartoon is
<v Speaker 1>absolutely just the idea of the cartoon is insane when
<v Speaker 1>you when you think about it, it's it was like
<v Speaker 1>seven seasons, one hundred and forty episodes.
<v Speaker 3>Wow.
<v Speaker 1>In nineteen eighty six, Ghostbusters Animated television series Real Ghost
<v Speaker 1>Person ran for one hundred and forty episodes over seven
<v Speaker 1>seasons across six years, and there was a spinoff, Slimer
<v Speaker 1>comic Slimer series, and then you.
<v Speaker 2>Never fucking drank Ecdo Cooler as a kid.
<v Speaker 3>That Yeah, you go to a birthday party or someone's
<v Speaker 3>house after school and they have it. But that's a
<v Speaker 3>fucking douice box.
<v Speaker 2>It's not like that's how popular Ghostbusters was. He's not
<v Speaker 2>the fucking me.
<v Speaker 3>Was, Dude. I said this all the time. The first
<v Speaker 3>time I ever fucking met Papa Bear Paul, I asked
<v Speaker 3>to go to the bathroom in my pre K class
<v Speaker 3>and the teacher was walking in the bathroom and he
<v Speaker 3>was shoot in the hallways patrolling. It wasn't Halloween, by
<v Speaker 3>the way, that full jumpsuit and the fucking backpack in
<v Speaker 3>the gimmick patrolling the holes for ghosts. The first time
<v Speaker 3>I remember seeing him before, I said it to his
<v Speaker 3>mom a couple of years ago. He wouldn't take that
<v Speaker 3>fucking thing off.
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, he's a big ghost guy.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Before we get to Brian Brusky, throw down all your nostalgia,
<v Speaker 1>the memory how you got to.
<v Speaker 2>I don't recall if I saw the movie first or
<v Speaker 2>the cartoon. But I was obsessed. I had all the toys.
<v Speaker 2>I watched the cartoon, drank at the cooler, had the
<v Speaker 2>fucking jumpsuit, had the fucking pro Tom pack, the trap,
<v Speaker 2>the pik E meter, I had it all. I was
<v Speaker 2>just fucking obsessed with it. I saw Ghostbusters two in
<v Speaker 2>the theater vividly remember seeing in the theater.
<v Speaker 3>When did that come out?
<v Speaker 2>Eighty nine? Like I remember seeing Batman eighty nine in
<v Speaker 2>the theater. So like those memories I have even watching
<v Speaker 2>back this how crazy it is. I was watching it
<v Speaker 2>back last night, and like I remember on my VHS
<v Speaker 2>that I recorded off TV, Like I remembered where the
<v Speaker 2>commercial breaks were. Okay, here's the commercial break, here's the
<v Speaker 2>commercial is where they go to commercial break. Like that's
<v Speaker 2>how many times I watched this VHS that my parents
<v Speaker 2>taped off TV for me. Oh yeah, what about you, Mark?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I saw two first, So I watched the cartoon
<v Speaker 1>and then I saw two first in the theaters my
<v Speaker 1>parents' radiots, and uh so then you know, at some
<v Speaker 1>point I watched the VHS, probably rented it or watched
<v Speaker 1>it on TV of one, and then me and My
<v Speaker 1>brother owned both VHS's and would watch them over and
<v Speaker 1>over again, and that the toys. To me, we're both.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, the technically the toys were the cartoon,
<v Speaker 1>but you know it was the same thing, it was
<v Speaker 1>the same world. It was.
<v Speaker 3>I didn't realize that's the one. You said that a
<v Speaker 3>couple of weeks ago, that yeah, there is no like,
<v Speaker 3>there is no toys, there's no vintage choice for this
<v Speaker 3>movie and it and after watching it, it's like, it's
<v Speaker 3>not a kids movie at all.
<v Speaker 2>No, it's it doesn't become a kid's movie. First of all,
<v Speaker 2>it's supposed to be like a joke. It's not supposed
<v Speaker 2>to be like this. You know, it's supposed to be
<v Speaker 2>like an adult comedy. But they didn't realize that kids
<v Speaker 2>would love that funny either, So I don't know what
<v Speaker 2>it's interesting. I was dying like yeah, because he was
<v Speaker 2>fucking like Chris Farley like this weird space to me, like,
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what. I think.
<v Speaker 1>That's what makes it so great because it's it's not
<v Speaker 1>just a stupid comedy. I'm saying, it's not just a
<v Speaker 1>stupid comedy. It's an actual good movie. That's that's funny.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if you think about it, think it's supposed
<v Speaker 2>to be. It's written as a comedy and the big
<v Speaker 2>heel at the end is a fucking walking giant marshmallow man.
<v Speaker 2>But the way it's presented, it's like scary and not funny,
<v Speaker 2>and as a kid, it's like petrifying.
<v Speaker 3>That was after all these years, you know, I've seen
<v Speaker 3>that staypuff marshmallow man and you know, toy stores and everything.
<v Speaker 3>But if they get some kind of explanation as to
<v Speaker 3>why that is was interesting after all these.
<v Speaker 1>Years, it was just his stupid dot which was great. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>but real quick on the what I remember too, you know,
<v Speaker 1>obviously similar stuff to you. I watched it a lot,
<v Speaker 1>But one thing that really stuck out to me is
<v Speaker 1>growing up in Massachusetts, my only knowledge of New York
<v Speaker 1>City was through the Ghostbusters, and I remember we went
<v Speaker 1>on a trip to New York. It was like with
<v Speaker 1>my mom and like her work or something, and I
<v Speaker 1>made the entire group go to the out of the
<v Speaker 1>way to go to the library so I could see
<v Speaker 1>the the the statues outside of the library. You know.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, because one of the first shots is that
<v Speaker 1>swinging shot around the lion in front of the library,
<v Speaker 1>New York.
<v Speaker 3>How about pretty much anything outside is New York, but
<v Speaker 3>everything inside La.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, oh yeah, that was even like the hotel, well,
<v Speaker 2>the hotel is in LA We just stayed for wrestled.
<v Speaker 3>Comm Yeah, so I got I saw right away, right.
<v Speaker 2>My other memories of the movie is that at Universal
<v Speaker 2>Studios there was a Ghostbusters like show, which has since
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's so crazy to me, how like now
<v Speaker 2>you think of Ghostbusters, it's like timeless, it's nostalgic. But
<v Speaker 2>like in nineteen ninety five, they're like, oh, this movie
<v Speaker 2>is old. We got to get rid of it. You know,
<v Speaker 2>it's crazy. I think anything works, but it's it's it's
<v Speaker 2>crazy how something's come back as timeless though you know.
<v Speaker 3>Well people going nuts of American Gladiators, right, But like
<v Speaker 3>I think fucking Netflix series is sure.
<v Speaker 2>But for instance, though, what what replaced Ghostbusters was fucking Twister?
<v Speaker 2>Has Twister stood the No, that's just old, you know
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying, Like some things fucking live on, like
<v Speaker 2>find another life. You know, I don't know if Twister's
<v Speaker 2>gonna find another life.
<v Speaker 3>If they if they make a Netflix stock about the
<v Speaker 3>drama behind making Twister I'm sure it could give it
<v Speaker 3>some life. It's just that's the way pop culture seems
<v Speaker 3>to work.
<v Speaker 2>What really broke my heart is that, I know, you guys, well,
<v Speaker 2>Mark is more a theme park guy. Like that. The firehouse.
<v Speaker 2>They had a whole firehouse there and it's still up
<v Speaker 2>at Universal, but they took down the sign and one
<v Speaker 2>of the roller coasters just goes right fucking through it.
<v Speaker 2>They like, it's still standard. You can't unless you know
<v Speaker 2>it's the Ghosts Firehuse. It just looks like a firehouse.
<v Speaker 2>And they do have Mark. They have the library there,
<v Speaker 2>like it's it's right there.
<v Speaker 1>I went to Universal in the nineties. I don't remember
<v Speaker 1>this at all.
<v Speaker 2>Well, it wasn't very popular. If you watch it on YouTube,
<v Speaker 2>it's fucking awesome, like the technology, Like I wish they
<v Speaker 2>would bring it back.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there's no Ghostbuster representation there at.
<v Speaker 2>All, right now, No, of course they have tons of
<v Speaker 2>merch and she's like, but that's it. And they had
<v Speaker 2>it for They do Halloween horrorites every year and a
<v Speaker 2>couple of years ago they built a Halloween Horronit's house
<v Speaker 2>that they broke down. My other memory is that, like,
<v Speaker 2>you know, as you're a kid, like you don't you
<v Speaker 2>can't watch at least me. I thought it was too
<v Speaker 2>cool for like Ghostbusters in like second and third, fourth,
<v Speaker 2>so I wasn't like watching or certainly not playing with
<v Speaker 2>the toys anymore, you know. And then it wasn't until
<v Speaker 2>DVDs came out and you were able to buy like
<v Speaker 2>dv because back in the you couldn't like just go
<v Speaker 2>in and buy you know, ghost It wasn't you know
<v Speaker 2>how v DVDs were crazy, You buy any movie you
<v Speaker 2>wanted on.
<v Speaker 3>Dv Yeah, I feel like VHS era, like if you
<v Speaker 3>didn't get it when it came out, it was gone
<v Speaker 3>and then like something.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So I got Ghostbusters one of the first DVDs
<v Speaker 2>I got, and it was the first time I watched.
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't an adult, I was a teenager maybe ninth grade,
<v Speaker 2>and I got all the adult humor where I started
<v Speaker 2>to appreciate the movie on a whole another level. Like
<v Speaker 2>you know, when Peter Vankman is checking out Dana's apartment
<v Speaker 2>about to go in the bedroom, and she's like, that's
<v Speaker 2>the bedroom, but nothing ever happens in there, and he goes,
<v Speaker 2>what a crime. He's like dying laughing.
<v Speaker 1>When I just like that the other day. I knew
<v Speaker 1>it was coming. Smile here to hear likes you the line.
<v Speaker 2>I'm dying like you don't get that as a kid,
<v Speaker 2>you know, well, what.
<v Speaker 1>About when when when Ray gets blown by the ghost kid,
<v Speaker 1>I had no idea what was happening?
<v Speaker 3>What the data bar What does he say with the
<v Speaker 3>guy's little cock who.
<v Speaker 2>Oh, yes, it's true this man has no dick. Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>I was actually like that was the most like blunt
<v Speaker 3>one where I was like Jesus on the plane, like.
<v Speaker 2>Data Barrow when she's possessed once Peter, just like I
<v Speaker 2>want you inside me.
<v Speaker 3>I don't, but I guess that could go both ways.
<v Speaker 3>Is a ghost right?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? But so there was no toys for so long.
<v Speaker 2>There wasn't that it was so easy to collect anything.
<v Speaker 2>Ghostbusters where I remember Neka when I was in high
<v Speaker 2>school or maybe early college came out with Ghosts Busters,
<v Speaker 2>but it was just a terror dog Gozer Climber and
<v Speaker 2>the giant Marshball because they didn't make the humans.
<v Speaker 3>But then didn't they make the humans, but like Bill
<v Speaker 3>Murray didn't sign off on it. So there's like a
<v Speaker 3>set where there's like no Bill Murray. I'm sure, there's
<v Speaker 3>a couple of things like that, but not something like that.
<v Speaker 3>But now now there's so much Ghostbuster merch where I
<v Speaker 3>can't get it all where. It's like since since the movie,
<v Speaker 3>I mean there's you know, if you count those neck
<v Speaker 3>as as Ghostbuster, which they are, but there's no humans.
<v Speaker 3>Then Mattel made some awesome ones Diamond Select, and now
<v Speaker 3>Hasbro makes them. But there's what I want is I
<v Speaker 3>want Hasbro to go back and how they've been doing
<v Speaker 3>like the retro Star Wars for characters.
<v Speaker 2>They never made. I want them to make the movie
<v Speaker 2>guys in the retro form, like the real Ghostbuster form.
<v Speaker 1>I see what you're saying. I would like I was
<v Speaker 1>thinking about this since we're talking about the toys already.
<v Speaker 1>I would like, so those the Hasbro ones are great,
<v Speaker 1>but there are not ultimates. So there they are twenty
<v Speaker 1>dollars toys, you know, like like they.
<v Speaker 2>Like Hasbro Black Series, Yeah they don't.
<v Speaker 1>They don't all come with the streams for example, and
<v Speaker 1>it's just like it's like they're not ultimates. I would
<v Speaker 1>love the four dudes in an ultimate somewhere. I don't
<v Speaker 1>know what company has to do. I had the Hasbro's
<v Speaker 1>and I got rid of them because I just feel
<v Speaker 1>like it's some day they're gonna have They're gonna make
<v Speaker 1>like a necka well.
<v Speaker 3>Me.
<v Speaker 2>Mesco makes this. A couple of Mesco makes them, which
<v Speaker 2>more high end, and even the Diamond select Ones are
<v Speaker 2>really good, but yeah, you have one of the best ones.
<v Speaker 2>The Diamond select Ones are the best, but the Hazbro ones,
<v Speaker 2>like you said, like I think only Winston comes with
<v Speaker 2>the actual stream.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, come on, no, I want all the pieces. I
<v Speaker 1>want full blown. I want full blown ultimates, different heads
<v Speaker 1>ship like that.
<v Speaker 2>And it's it's the Ghostbuster figures that got me hooked
<v Speaker 2>on funk Goos because I was like always on like
<v Speaker 2>gb News orgbfans dot com or something. I always check
<v Speaker 2>out New Merchant. I saw the funk Is, like what
<v Speaker 2>are these things? And I googled it. I'm like, wait,
<v Speaker 2>they make Star Wars and they just heard to like
<v Speaker 2>this is fucking awesome. And then you know, that's how
<v Speaker 2>I went down that rabbit hole with the Funkos.
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely. Do you do you remember anything about the cartoon?
<v Speaker 3>May vaguely. I mean I remember like kids I played
<v Speaker 3>with had the tower, which I thought was cool, and
<v Speaker 3>a lot of I remember the toilet. Everyone had the toilet,
<v Speaker 3>Yes everyone, I had that old lady that would remember.
<v Speaker 3>That's all I got.
<v Speaker 2>I love the toys. I had most of them as
<v Speaker 2>a kid. Uh Now I have every single regular release one.
<v Speaker 1>There's a video on our YouTube of Brosky literally in
<v Speaker 1>the Pandemic unboxing. I think every vintage goes, almost every
<v Speaker 1>vintage Ghostbuster figure.
<v Speaker 2>It's a lot like it's so weird because like the
<v Speaker 2>marshmallow people say, like the marshmallow Man and Slimer are
<v Speaker 2>technically Ghostbusters one figures, but they're not because they were
<v Speaker 2>brought into the cartoon, you know.
<v Speaker 1>Right right, right right.
<v Speaker 2>It's like they're not depicting the movie. I can see
<v Speaker 2>how people say that, but they're not.
<v Speaker 3>It's cheating.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So technically no figures for the movie, which I
<v Speaker 2>guess I can understand one, right because one is technically
<v Speaker 2>an adult comedy, but by two it's a fucking kiddy movie.
<v Speaker 2>And they did two so different. It's me too, okay,
<v Speaker 2>but they so like for instance, they they there are
<v Speaker 2>kind of toys, but there's no figures like they do
<v Speaker 2>the Slime Pack, which I don't think is in any
<v Speaker 2>cartoon like the because the ghos supposed to the backpack
<v Speaker 2>they wear shoot slime, so that's they have that for
<v Speaker 2>the kids. And then they also made uh the echo
<v Speaker 2>a role play item, Yes, a roleplay item. And they
<v Speaker 2>made like a repaint of the Ecdo one the Ghostbusters
<v Speaker 2>car from the cartoon. It's also from the movie, but
<v Speaker 2>with more like slime stickers, like pink slime stickers, and
<v Speaker 2>the Ghostbusters two logo, so I guess that's technically Ghostbusters
<v Speaker 2>two but there's no figures.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the Ecto one rock that toy was fucking amazing,
<v Speaker 1>had that forever. Uh, But yeah, the cartoon was very weird.
<v Speaker 1>Like I tried to watch it recently. I think during
<v Speaker 1>the pandemic. I popped it on like in the background
<v Speaker 1>when I was doing cards or something. It's it's very weird.
<v Speaker 1>It's like, uh, you know, obviously the Bill Murray character
<v Speaker 1>is not like Bill Murray in the cartoon.
<v Speaker 2>He's just kind of like it, isn't it Dave Cooler
<v Speaker 2>or is he right? He's one of them?
<v Speaker 1>Oh ship, Yeah, Dave kool Ai does do his voice
<v Speaker 1>in it.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I want to say he's Peter Vankman.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Probably, It's just it's not like the adult kind
<v Speaker 1>of guy that you that you love it, but it's
<v Speaker 1>a whole I think it's like a different entity. It's
<v Speaker 1>like it's just I.
<v Speaker 2>Don't understood why, Like they change Egon's hair color, Like
<v Speaker 2>why did they do that?
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?
<v Speaker 1>Right, he's blonde and curly haired.
<v Speaker 2>It's weird not curly. I guess the hair is the
<v Speaker 2>same the style, but the blonde is weird.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that is weird.
<v Speaker 2>But Brian, he didn't like it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so what's the deal? What's like?
<v Speaker 3>I don't feel they need to ever watch it again
<v Speaker 3>with that. I think without Bill Murray, it's a barely
<v Speaker 3>watchable movie.
<v Speaker 2>Uh.
<v Speaker 3>And I have no sentimental attachment to it. I think
<v Speaker 3>that's the big problem, big time. And I like Bill Murray.
<v Speaker 3>Like if I were to meet Bill Murray, I would
<v Speaker 3>seriously mark out and like lose my mind. But yeah,
<v Speaker 3>I uh like, it's not like he's not one of
<v Speaker 3>my favorites. Like, so I wasn't watching it like, oh
<v Speaker 3>it's a Bill Murray mooe. You know, I don't know.
<v Speaker 3>It was interesting to learn, you know, all these characters
<v Speaker 3>and things that I've known kind of for years but
<v Speaker 3>never really understood the meaning behind a lot of them,
<v Speaker 3>or the.
<v Speaker 1>Point did you chuckle? Did you laugh? No?
<v Speaker 3>Like I barely that another thing you guys are here
<v Speaker 3>was a comedy or it was a couple weeks back
<v Speaker 3>WI about the funniest movies of all time Broster, Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters,
<v Speaker 3>Like it wasn't even like it's no part part jokes.
<v Speaker 1>But I was dying. I was dying when I was
<v Speaker 1>watching it. I'm on the treadmill, just fucking dying.
<v Speaker 3>Morning Weavers beautiful. Uh, he's great, today's years old. Whenever
<v Speaker 3>you call Billy Walter peck, Yeah, I thought that was
<v Speaker 3>a reference to what is that fucking I never watched
<v Speaker 3>it either, that show where they do deal drugs. Oh yeah,
<v Speaker 3>I thought it was a Walter White thing for some reason.
<v Speaker 3>I don't know why. It's no clue what the fuck
<v Speaker 3>Walter Beck was.
<v Speaker 1>That was like a weird I was like, what Nickolas Walter?
<v Speaker 3>So, wait's a Billy pack is dickless?
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god?
<v Speaker 1>Spread d rumors.
<v Speaker 3>So that was a big Were you bored watching it
<v Speaker 3>a little bit? Yeah? And we're talking flight to Australia.
<v Speaker 3>Passed out like stand up as long as I could,
<v Speaker 3>passed out a big long sleep, A meal, and I
<v Speaker 3>was like ready and alert to watch this thing, and
<v Speaker 3>it just didn't really do much for me. I will
<v Speaker 3>say this, Rick Moranis character is Tony Khan exactly.
<v Speaker 2>Holy shit.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Wow, that was another revelation I had, Well did
<v Speaker 3>you I was.
<v Speaker 1>I was trying to watch it with I try to
<v Speaker 1>watch a lot of these movies. I talk about this
<v Speaker 1>a lot. I talked about it last week, like, you know, what,
<v Speaker 1>are we watching this with nostalgia goggles or whatever. I
<v Speaker 1>really tried to watch it critically, and I'm looked at
<v Speaker 1>the performances, looked at the transitions, looked at tried to
<v Speaker 1>put myself in a position of somebody who was watching
<v Speaker 1>this for the first time, and I still look I
<v Speaker 1>came out of Hook, I said it was very fun.
<v Speaker 1>I would love to watch it again, but I could
<v Speaker 1>see why people didn't like it. This one. I watched
<v Speaker 1>it and I just thought it's a great movie. I
<v Speaker 1>thought that it was skillfully put together.
<v Speaker 2>It was so clever.
<v Speaker 3>I like the exact opposite experience with Hook, where I
<v Speaker 3>loved it as a kid now watching as an adult
<v Speaker 3>through and I tried to do the same thing. I
<v Speaker 3>tried to have like a critical because I watched that
<v Speaker 3>thing where there's you know that it was critically buried,
<v Speaker 3>and dude, Rob Williams and fucking uh Hook have like
<v Speaker 3>incredible performances in that, like yeah that Live Live On.
<v Speaker 3>I think it's visually unbelievable, like Ghostwisters. I don't know, man,
<v Speaker 3>it's just such an acquired it's so bizarre.
<v Speaker 1>That like, you know what, you know what you're about
<v Speaker 1>to say, the acquired taste. There might be something to that.
<v Speaker 1>There might be something to that because he takes coffee
<v Speaker 1>the first time and it's kind of like, look, but
<v Speaker 1>then it eventually gets delicious.
<v Speaker 3>I mean, dude, there's been plenty of movies like I
<v Speaker 3>remember Brosket wearing Deep South. We saw Talladega Nights. I
<v Speaker 3>remember like, man, this movie is kind of stupid, and
<v Speaker 3>then I would just keep watching it and watching it
<v Speaker 3>and watching it, and it's like, I think it's one
<v Speaker 3>of the fucking funniest movies ever. Now you know what
<v Speaker 3>I mean?
<v Speaker 1>There could be something to that, Broskey, what do you think?
<v Speaker 3>I mean?
<v Speaker 2>Maybe? Uh, it's hard for me to watch it without
<v Speaker 2>nostalgic goggles because it's one of my if not I
<v Speaker 2>feel like.
<v Speaker 3>If you guys love that as a kid, you're ex
<v Speaker 3>and age from this conversation with weirdo like me that's
<v Speaker 3>missed it somehow.
<v Speaker 2>But even like, you know, when they talking about all
<v Speaker 2>the scientific things, the fact that it sounds like scientific
<v Speaker 2>and real and it's not like goofy, I think that's
<v Speaker 2>what makes it all like fun and believable to me,
<v Speaker 2>where it's not like the schoolost thing over here is
<v Speaker 2>like really like they're saying like this exact scientific bs
<v Speaker 2>and especially when they're talking about.
<v Speaker 3>Their ghostbusters were scientists and all that ship.
<v Speaker 2>Until I watched this doctor Benkman back off Man, I'm
<v Speaker 2>a scientist. So even then, what's his name, Winston isn't
<v Speaker 2>even like an original one? He comes in, he comes
<v Speaker 2>that's that's supposed to be Eddie Murphy.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, it's not originally.
<v Speaker 3>And Murphy's supposed to be one of the three. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>I watched I watched the movies that make It's on Netflix,
<v Speaker 3>Movies that made Us. Really he's supposed to be one
<v Speaker 3>of the three. And then Belushi is supposed to be
<v Speaker 3>Jim Uh, I'm gonna lose my mind here. Jim Belushi
<v Speaker 3>is supposed to be Bill Murray yeah, but.
<v Speaker 2>He dies and then another weird John Belushi or John sorry,
<v Speaker 2>John Belushy, uh, the other weird.
<v Speaker 3>But they wanted Slimmer to look like John Belushi. I
<v Speaker 3>don't know if it was like a tribute or something,
<v Speaker 3>and the guy was doing it just kind of yeah, yeah.
<v Speaker 3>Then but he said I didn't do it. They saw,
<v Speaker 3>he said they saw Slimer was like, oh, it looks great,
<v Speaker 3>looks just like him. He's like, I didn't even try.
<v Speaker 2>Really, And.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I thought that was that was interesting, And you
<v Speaker 1>actually think.
<v Speaker 3>Like, if it was Belushi, I probably would like the
<v Speaker 3>movie a little bit better because I like that guy.
<v Speaker 1>That is insane.
<v Speaker 3>Probably I'm just I'm guessing here, right.
<v Speaker 1>I think that this is like the the apex of
<v Speaker 1>Bill Murray, which is which is saying a lot, because
<v Speaker 1>he's had classics.
<v Speaker 2>I just like, he's just so cool in the movie,
<v Speaker 2>even at like the end.
<v Speaker 3>Of the same fucking character in all these movies.
<v Speaker 2>Dude, Wells one's coming in Marshmallow. He's got like a
<v Speaker 2>drop autumn. It was like I had to tell And
<v Speaker 2>he's got like a little bit on his shoulder.
<v Speaker 1>I love small things. He when they walk into the
<v Speaker 1>first time they're going to the hotel. They walk into
<v Speaker 1>the hotel, he's like any would see a ghost, and
<v Speaker 1>then that girl walks by and he just kind of
<v Speaker 1>eyes her. She looks he's just so slick. I'll say
<v Speaker 1>this does not age well. When he's trying to bang
<v Speaker 1>his student at the college, that doesn't age.
<v Speaker 2>Or what about when what about when he had just
<v Speaker 2>drugs on him to drug Dana Barrett just pat about
<v Speaker 2>it and like fucking drugs drugs and knock her fuck
<v Speaker 2>it out. Yeah, that is doesn't doesn't age.
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, there was a couple of things there.
<v Speaker 2>I had no problem with him hitting on the student though.
<v Speaker 2>It's not like she was because it's in so much comedy, right, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>she was, and she wasn't a kindergarten. She's a fucking
<v Speaker 2>college well, you know, she's a fucking go over her master.
<v Speaker 2>She could be fucking thirty.
<v Speaker 1>So one of the things that I saw was, you know,
<v Speaker 1>dan Aykroyd grew up his like his entire family was
<v Speaker 1>were like ghost hunters.
<v Speaker 3>They like that's in the thing too. Yeah, that explains
<v Speaker 3>all that he wrote this and it went through like
<v Speaker 3>a lot, a lot of a lot of changes because.
<v Speaker 1>Harold was changing a lot.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, the director and stuff, they all kind of
<v Speaker 3>collaborated on it to change.
<v Speaker 2>Its Three was rumored to come out for fucking years
<v Speaker 2>but it never did. Uh. And then there was like
<v Speaker 2>the Ghostbusters with the Women, which we're not going to
<v Speaker 2>talk about.
<v Speaker 3>Wait, so from two, that's the next ghost Wister movie.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I don't even count that. So really the
<v Speaker 2>next Ghostbuster movie is the one that came out like
<v Speaker 2>two years ago. Holy shit, because the Girl one. Not
<v Speaker 2>only it's it's in a different universe. It's just I
<v Speaker 2>realized there was that gap.
<v Speaker 3>Was that big. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Bill Mertle just kept saying no.
<v Speaker 2>He just kept saying no.
<v Speaker 1>He didn't like two. He thought that he was disappointed
<v Speaker 1>with two, and he thought, why do it again?
<v Speaker 3>He was already a pretty big star when he took
<v Speaker 3>this role. So yeah, there's a big thing on that
<v Speaker 3>Netflix show about like how they they booked them for
<v Speaker 3>but they weren't sure they'd actually even show up. Damn,
<v Speaker 3>Like no confirmation or nothing. That he showed up like
<v Speaker 3>it was like ten am start of the filming. He
<v Speaker 3>showed up at like eight am with no heads up
<v Speaker 3>or Notah, I just appeared and they're like Jesus Christ.
<v Speaker 2>I gotta watch his movies that made us. I don't
<v Speaker 2>think I've ever seen it.
<v Speaker 1>I've definitely seen it.
<v Speaker 3>I don't remember it.
<v Speaker 2>Is it recent or is it old?
<v Speaker 1>No, it was one of the original ones.
<v Speaker 3>It's two or three years old.
<v Speaker 2>I probably seen it. I just forget yea years ago.
<v Speaker 3>It's got a lot of tidbits in it that I
<v Speaker 3>felt like I needed to like out on top of
<v Speaker 3>my experience.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but I think some of the like like you said,
<v Speaker 2>marshmallow Man Slimer, I think they're everyone knows what those are,
<v Speaker 2>at least maybe not by name, but like recognize him,
<v Speaker 2>you know. I think it's like a like a Darth Vader,
<v Speaker 2>So everyone knows Darth Vader. They know it's something and
<v Speaker 2>then then correct me if I'm wrong. On the cartoon,
<v Speaker 2>they like befriend Slimmer and he's like, yeah, he's a
<v Speaker 2>bit And then he even in ghost bushes too. He
<v Speaker 2>comes in it's like a baby face. He's like riding
<v Speaker 2>the bus and he helps like Lewis Tully get to
<v Speaker 2>the Statue of Liberty.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, why is Lewis Tully back? He's one of the
<v Speaker 3>what are the Ghostbusters? No, I thought that was Rick
<v Speaker 3>Moran's character. What's his name, Lewis Tully is Rick moranis Wait,
<v Speaker 3>he becomes a Ghostbuster.
<v Speaker 1>He's like, they're accountant, He's there, Accountant, He's there, He's there.
<v Speaker 2>Chiappetta, Yeah, she definitely that is exactly he comes back.
<v Speaker 2>He comes back.
<v Speaker 1>Uh. I know you say we're not gonna talk about
<v Speaker 1>the girls one. I will just put this on record.
<v Speaker 1>The I just think the big mistake with that film.
<v Speaker 3>Uh.
<v Speaker 1>And and you can't say anything bad about it because
<v Speaker 1>people call you sexist.
<v Speaker 2>I know it has nothing to do with it being girls.
<v Speaker 2>It's not good.
<v Speaker 1>I think that the worst problem is that they fucking
<v Speaker 1>you can't make a Ghostbusters movie in a different universe.
<v Speaker 1>Can't do it? You can't.
<v Speaker 3>It's not do you mean it's a different universe?
<v Speaker 1>Like so in this universe, Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray
<v Speaker 1>did not exist, and this is just from these girls
<v Speaker 1>made up Ghostbusters.
<v Speaker 3>Oh if you know that, I feel like that. No, fine,
<v Speaker 3>no you can't.
<v Speaker 2>I actually I wanted that movie to succeed. I thought
<v Speaker 2>I saw it opening day and even up until like
<v Speaker 2>the first scene before the credits, are like, fuck, this
<v Speaker 2>actually might be good, and then the bell rang. They
<v Speaker 2>really started was like this and just got worse and worse,
<v Speaker 2>and then like they try to tease you and use
<v Speaker 2>like the marshmallow Man as like like a like a
<v Speaker 2>like a parade inflatable balloon. It's like, oh, stop, is
<v Speaker 2>it not the same universe or it is, come on,
<v Speaker 2>what are you doing here? Like Slimer's in it, but
<v Speaker 2>it's not Slimer because it's not the same universe. It's
<v Speaker 2>really really weird. Well, you guys both loved After Life.
<v Speaker 2>After Life is great, unbelievable lies, After Life great.
<v Speaker 1>It was just a well made movie.
<v Speaker 3>You know.
<v Speaker 1>Look, I still love one and stuff and After Life
<v Speaker 1>I think, I I if they never make another movie,
<v Speaker 1>I might be a little disappointed with Afterlife. But I
<v Speaker 1>feel like they set up a lot for the future.
<v Speaker 1>So it was a real nice tribute to Harold Remis.
<v Speaker 3>I would say, who's in it from that original?
<v Speaker 2>They all are in it at the very very, very
<v Speaker 2>very end. So it's about the new generation, which I like,
<v Speaker 2>but it ties everything together and it's in the same universe,
<v Speaker 2>and it's about like Egon's granddaughter. It starts with Egon's
<v Speaker 2>dying because in real life. He's dead, so it's all dying.
<v Speaker 2>They're all in it great and and and even yes,
<v Speaker 2>and then at the end they make like Egon come
<v Speaker 2>as a ghost and help his granddaughter and they're both
<v Speaker 2>like using the pro it's I have a goose what
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about.
<v Speaker 3>Like filming wise, if he was deceased.
<v Speaker 1>Computer animated, he was a ghost, so he was like
<v Speaker 1>wavy and stuff, you know, So it's like still, it's like, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>it's a it's a great movie.
<v Speaker 2>But I loved it, and I loved that they the
<v Speaker 2>merch was like on fire, great merch figures were great.
<v Speaker 3>Maybe I'd watch that then all that I would dabble.
<v Speaker 3>Now that I can connect the dots.
<v Speaker 2>And and now now that you say that mark they did,
<v Speaker 2>I'm an idiot. They have made when they made this movie,
<v Speaker 2>they the kids as you know, like the real Ghostbuster style,
<v Speaker 2>and they did finally make the original guys, they did
<v Speaker 2>do it. What do you mean like they made the
<v Speaker 2>original four in the eighty style.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah but they did.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but I just said earlier than I wish they did.
<v Speaker 2>But they they did.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, but that's what I was saying.
<v Speaker 1>They did are not ultimates they're great figures.
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, right right, so there's like no, but I
<v Speaker 2>mean they made them in like the retro style as well,
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm saying.
<v Speaker 1>Oh ship, yeah, you're right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah they did. Huh.
<v Speaker 2>They're not exactly like the real ghost was, They're close enough.
<v Speaker 1>Does Brian need to watch two to watch the new one?
<v Speaker 3>No?
<v Speaker 1>Two's fun though, you see the bro just put it
<v Speaker 1>on a flight.
<v Speaker 3>I'm not.
<v Speaker 2>Vigo. The painting is the big Two is.
<v Speaker 1>I think a little more nostalgic to me, to be honest.
<v Speaker 2>Because two is like the two is the one like
<v Speaker 2>I saw in the theater there too is definitely were
<v Speaker 2>kiddie one.
<v Speaker 3>That's what Yeah, the kittie part.
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's better because there's nobody getting blown
<v Speaker 1>in it by a ghost.
<v Speaker 3>But I'm gonna stand by it. Like gohwis one stands
<v Speaker 3>in this weird space where it's like in between like
<v Speaker 3>an adult film and the kids film.
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think that's the problem with two, and that's
<v Speaker 2>why I don't think it was as successful, because I
<v Speaker 2>think it's trying to please both, where like one accidentally
<v Speaker 2>turned into like this kid movie where Two because of
<v Speaker 2>the success of the toy line and the real Ghostbus
<v Speaker 2>cartoon and the fucking I see they made it. They
<v Speaker 2>tried to appeal to both. I think that's why I
<v Speaker 2>kind of fell a little flat.
<v Speaker 1>But I'll have you know, I might this week on
<v Speaker 1>my travels, I might watch two again, just to just
<v Speaker 1>to compare, because I have it so fresh. But I
<v Speaker 1>think I liked it more. But that's a nostalgia goggle,
<v Speaker 1>so I'm not totally sure.
<v Speaker 2>I'll have to watch it with my both very hard
<v Speaker 2>video games.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well, we're gonna talk about that video game.
<v Speaker 3>I don't remember video games at all.
<v Speaker 1>The Nintendo game is fun looking ridiculous too, are insane?
<v Speaker 3>When did those come out?
<v Speaker 2>At the time of the release in eighty four, a
<v Speaker 2>Nintendo game came out whatever West.
<v Speaker 1>Western Nintendo game came out before too. It was one
<v Speaker 1>of the earliest Nintendo games.
<v Speaker 3>As I say, that doesn't add up.
<v Speaker 2>Not in eighty four, No, yeah, no way, it's got
<v Speaker 2>to be close. I mean it's before eighty nine, because
<v Speaker 2>Ghost was Tues eighty nine.
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking it up right now.
<v Speaker 2>I never played it until like years after.
<v Speaker 1>It's so hard I could never even I mentioned this,
<v Speaker 1>and people shout it. I mentioned on the podcast if
<v Speaker 1>You Oh Fuck nineteen eighty four What He's a game
<v Speaker 1>originally released in nineteen eighty four.
<v Speaker 3>Sure three one.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry it was released.
<v Speaker 1>It was released in North America nineteen eighty eight.
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, sorry, sorry, that makes a lot more sense.
<v Speaker 2>I have the Ghostbusters pinball machine in my house. It
<v Speaker 2>was one of the first things I ever bought about
<v Speaker 2>that I have that and thrilled, Well, I got it
<v Speaker 2>before her, the Ghostbusters I think I had. I think
<v Speaker 2>I had that before I met her. But when I
<v Speaker 2>first moved in, I was injured. There was really nothing
<v Speaker 2>to do. I had no furniture or anything, so I
<v Speaker 2>would just play that fucking arcade And for some reason,
<v Speaker 2>you could lower the volume of it, but every time
<v Speaker 2>the librarian screams, it's like the volume is still ten
<v Speaker 2>to ten, so it sounds like I'm killing people, like
<v Speaker 2>when in the middle of the night, like if you
<v Speaker 2>would scream like like for some reason, that volume is
<v Speaker 2>always a tad out of tad.
<v Speaker 1>For the thought of Prosky alone in an apartment with
<v Speaker 1>no house.
<v Speaker 3>A Ghostbuster pinball.
<v Speaker 1>Just playing pinball standing up like what is he sipping
<v Speaker 1>fucking wine playing pinball by it.
<v Speaker 2>Actually, I love pinball and I love that game. I'm
<v Speaker 2>look at right now. I have a full sized Neca
<v Speaker 2>foam slimer in my toy room. I have fucking two
<v Speaker 2>Proton packs. One's custom like purple and orange, zach Ryder,
<v Speaker 2>the haz Lab pro toop like I have so much
<v Speaker 2>one but naked at your house. That's the one. That's
<v Speaker 2>the one.
<v Speaker 1>A couple of things. So it was one hundred and
<v Speaker 1>five minutes, it was thirty million, did two hundred and
<v Speaker 1>ninety five point two million box office? Okay, A couple
<v Speaker 1>of things. I noticed. How about Carl Winslow being a
<v Speaker 1>cop in the movie. Yes, yeah, so does that mean
<v Speaker 1>die Hard and family matters are in the Ghostbusters universe.
<v Speaker 2>It's not supposed to be Karl wins I.
<v Speaker 1>Think it's Carl Winslow, guys, So yeah, I think it's
<v Speaker 1>carled Uh. I noticed her groceries. She goes to the
<v Speaker 1>grocery store. Here's what she got, guys. Marshmallows stay puffed
<v Speaker 1>by the way.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, little easter eggs.
<v Speaker 3>That's not a real It's like Ghostwuster made up. Yeah. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>I think I realized that either.
<v Speaker 1>Cart and eggs, celery and sardines. That was everything in
<v Speaker 1>her I don't know what the deal with sardines were
<v Speaker 1>in the eighties. I don't know if it was like
<v Speaker 1>a health food or some ship everybody.
<v Speaker 3>Ye, people don't even talk about it now.
<v Speaker 2>I'm the The not behind the scenes was called the
<v Speaker 2>deleted scenes on the TVD. There's a scene and thank
<v Speaker 2>god I got the leader whis looks horrible. Then after
<v Speaker 2>the marshmallow Man blows up that his hat just kind
<v Speaker 2>of floats to the streets of New York City like
<v Speaker 2>a fucking got fucking I don't know, I don't know.
<v Speaker 3>It's not. It's not in the movie. That's definitely discussed
<v Speaker 3>on this thing. It might be on that Netflix thing. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>it doesn't.
<v Speaker 2>It's not, And it's on the final cut of the
<v Speaker 2>film that god looks it's horrible.
<v Speaker 3>That's funny, though, that's a little too funny.
<v Speaker 1>I think one thing that I read, uh, there was
<v Speaker 1>some gorilla filmmaking that took place, capturing spontaneous scenes at
<v Speaker 1>iconic locations around the city, including one shot at rockfallm
<v Speaker 1>Center where the actors were chased off by a real
<v Speaker 1>security guard. So there's one shot. I remember of them
<v Speaker 1>running down the street, but the music is playing the
<v Speaker 1>running down the street and you can see the guy
<v Speaker 1>behind them like he's not an he's not an actor,
<v Speaker 1>He's like a guy walking down the street, like what's happening?
<v Speaker 1>Why are What's what's going on?
<v Speaker 3>It's great.
<v Speaker 1>And then when I read that, I was like.
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I can't immensely the song is unbelievable.
<v Speaker 1>I think the soundtrack is great.
<v Speaker 3>I mean, just the main song, We'll Stand the Test
<v Speaker 3>of Time.
<v Speaker 1>For Ghostbusters nominated for two Academy Awards Best Original Song
<v Speaker 1>for Ghostbusters by Ray Parker Junior, and didn't win. It
<v Speaker 1>did not win, lost to Stevie Wonders. I just called
<v Speaker 1>to say I Love You, which is a phenomenal song.
<v Speaker 3>That's a good song.
<v Speaker 2>What movie is that?
<v Speaker 1>From The Woman in Red?
<v Speaker 2>I just go I mean I do know that song,
<v Speaker 2>but great song.
<v Speaker 1>They also were nominated for Best Visual Effects, but they
<v Speaker 1>lost to Inanna Jones and Temple doomm nineteen eight. H
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah, So that was eighty five eighty nine when
<v Speaker 1>Ghostbusters two came out. Holy crap, lots of movies.
<v Speaker 3>Did you know that the whole like most of the
<v Speaker 3>majority of the filming, they were fighting over the name, yes,
<v Speaker 3>because didn't on the rights.
<v Speaker 1>Ghost Busters with a Space was a show in the
<v Speaker 1>seventies and.
<v Speaker 3>They were gonna call it ghost Breakers, and then they
<v Speaker 3>were doing scenes multiple times we were saying ghost Breakers,
<v Speaker 3>ghost Breakers. Wow, that was the same. I feel like
<v Speaker 3>that would change everything. You can't say breaking makes me
<v Speaker 3>for you?
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't. It doesn't hit as good.
<v Speaker 2>And we can't forget the Brian Mars I mean, Kurt Hawkins,
<v Speaker 2>what of what Ghostbusters figure?
<v Speaker 3>Oh wow, now finally that has meaning. Oh man, you
<v Speaker 3>want I still don't have it on display. I think
<v Speaker 3>I was very close to selling it, but I.
<v Speaker 2>Because to me, the Mattel, the jumpsuit is like a
<v Speaker 2>one of one like that is made, and yes it
<v Speaker 2>couldn't be I think corporate Steve fucking made it in
<v Speaker 2>his basement, but he still.
<v Speaker 1>Made presented on a vlog. That's important. Yeah, insane for
<v Speaker 1>you to sell it.
<v Speaker 2>And then I do have.
<v Speaker 3>Fits my head like perfect and that all that stuff,
<v Speaker 3>but my hat.
<v Speaker 2>Has not put my head. I'm looking at it right now.
<v Speaker 2>And then I have a I supposed to have a
<v Speaker 2>Mattel Basic never came out, but I have the prototype
<v Speaker 2>before before build really started fucking met.
<v Speaker 3>It and then you wore mac car I don't want
<v Speaker 3>to go supposed to hear it Bound for Glory.
<v Speaker 2>Right, Yeah, and that's a major bendy.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>I'm also spoiler gonna wear some Ghostbuster gear at GCW
<v Speaker 2>homecoming this year, so a lot of Ghostbuster stuff, new
<v Speaker 2>Ghostbuster gear.
<v Speaker 1>So I will say this though, in defense and Brian's
<v Speaker 1>sort of attack on the film. Ninety five percent on
<v Speaker 1>Rotten Tomatoes for critics, eighty eight percent for human beings.
<v Speaker 2>The critics, I have more than fans.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, holy shit, and I'll read this. Ghostbuster's positive reception
<v Speaker 1>was has lasted well beyond its release, and it is
<v Speaker 1>considered one of the most important comedy films ever made.
<v Speaker 1>Is listed in the twenty thirteen film reference book one
<v Speaker 1>thousand and one Movies You Must See Before You Die,
<v Speaker 1>and on its thirtieth anniversary in twenty fourteen, the Hollywood
<v Speaker 1>Reporters Entertainment Industry voted ranking named it the seventy seventh
<v Speaker 1>best film of all time.
<v Speaker 3>Wow, that's crazy to me.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think it should be in the top twenty,
<v Speaker 2>but I'll take it in top one hundred.
<v Speaker 1>I'll take so Steph watched it did not like it
<v Speaker 1>is what I hear?
<v Speaker 2>Right, Yeah, but she's fucking she's Australian.
<v Speaker 1>She's twelve years old and it hasn't watched the movie.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah there's no one's smoking weed in it. She doesn't. Maybe, hey,
<v Speaker 2>maybe I did pop.
<v Speaker 3>For how much? How many cigarettes they spoke?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I noticed that Ray smoking a lot of SIGs,
<v Speaker 2>which isn't smart to do down there in that the
<v Speaker 2>storage facility. You know that thing blows up there smoking
<v Speaker 2>SIGs down there on the rag that's smart?
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, a lot of a lot of that called
<v Speaker 3>me off guard. A lot of SIGs.
<v Speaker 2>What that Those real Ghostbusters, even though they're not Ghostbuster figures,
<v Speaker 2>like you could pretend, you know, it was the same.
<v Speaker 2>You could pretend you really.
<v Speaker 1>Could they were the Ghostbusters.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah when you were a kid, right, there.
<v Speaker 2>Was this Ghostbuster. I haven't a marshmallow man. It's like
<v Speaker 2>a hand puppet, but he so he stuffed and he's
<v Speaker 2>like twelve inches. So I would use that with the
<v Speaker 2>figures because the marshmallow man they made is like the
<v Speaker 2>same size as them. Oh yeah, so this guy's almost
<v Speaker 2>the size of the fucking firehouse, but like as a kid.
<v Speaker 2>If you, Brian, I don't think you. You didn't play this,
<v Speaker 2>you don't need remember, But like technically we're supposed to
<v Speaker 2>do with the firehouse, and this was like a fucking
<v Speaker 2>a couple of toy lines and ship like this. And
<v Speaker 2>I don't understand. I understand, well, my mom never let
<v Speaker 2>me do it, But I don't understand how the toyle.
<v Speaker 2>I thought people were gonna let their kids do it
<v Speaker 2>the top of the fire house, these little fucking like
<v Speaker 2>square openings, and it came with slime, drop slime down
<v Speaker 2>it onto all your fucking figures, your fucking carpet.
<v Speaker 3>One done.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you do it once, that's no.
<v Speaker 2>But they would, they would sell them. They sold the slime.
<v Speaker 2>You buy more slime.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but I'm saying that sludge. Your mom sets it up,
<v Speaker 1>she puts paper on the ground. She lets you do
<v Speaker 1>it once, you clean up your figures, and you never
<v Speaker 1>do it again.
<v Speaker 2>That's that's like I I don't think I ever was
<v Speaker 2>allowed to do it.
<v Speaker 1>I remember Michael Munior did it when I went over
<v Speaker 1>his house.
<v Speaker 3>He do it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, my parents.
<v Speaker 2>They also took away the fucking the batmobile would like
<v Speaker 2>shoot out little missiles. They took those away from me. Oh,
<v Speaker 2>come on, and my robo cop would have like the
<v Speaker 2>snaps where you shoot the gun like you know, with
<v Speaker 2>like real fel.
<v Speaker 1>Oh the cats, the cats, Yes, they took my cat.
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't like in the news though about that RoboCop thing.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, definitely not safe.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but man, what my final consensus is, I probably
<v Speaker 3>will never watch that movie again. And I'm glad you
<v Speaker 3>guys enjoy it for sentimental reasons, and I'm sure that's very.
<v Speaker 1>Important, but man, I think it's the I think.
<v Speaker 3>It will ostalgia for it. I just could really do
<v Speaker 3>without it.
<v Speaker 1>I'm wondering. I'd like to ask people out there if
<v Speaker 1>you've never seen it like Brian, and then watched it
<v Speaker 1>like what you thought. I would love to get a
<v Speaker 1>couple more people's opinions.
<v Speaker 3>It's hard to find these people.
<v Speaker 1>It's especially in our group, especially in our group. But
<v Speaker 1>I'm also guys, I would love to hear you your
<v Speaker 1>thoughts on the idea that the film is an acquired
<v Speaker 1>taste and and Brian's honest review.
<v Speaker 3>Let me go back to my main takeaway, Nobel Murray,
<v Speaker 3>that movie's forget about it.
<v Speaker 1>I can't argue with that at all, not even not
<v Speaker 1>even I can't argue. I I a thousand percent agree.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he makes a movie, but.
<v Speaker 3>He's a like timeless comedy actor, wildly successful. So I
<v Speaker 3>would say you need Dad Ackroyd too. I think you
<v Speaker 3>need I think I think you need them all. I
<v Speaker 3>think it's not the same. It's like, okay, like it's
<v Speaker 3>a bad example, but like you.
<v Speaker 2>Know, Triple H is the leader of the New Age Outlass,
<v Speaker 2>but you need Xbox, you need the fucking the Outlaws.
<v Speaker 3>You mean d X by the way. But what I
<v Speaker 3>say is the leader of the New Age Outlaws.
<v Speaker 1>This might be, but I feel like if you if
<v Speaker 1>you replace Harold Ramis with somebody, I I.
<v Speaker 2>Think, wait, you're crazy, You're fucking crazy.
<v Speaker 3>That's just you're blown.
<v Speaker 2>He's fucking egoumental goggles right now, Broski.
<v Speaker 1>So before we go, though, I do want to talk
<v Speaker 1>about this. A lot of people have mentioned this. Who
<v Speaker 1>are we? I think Brian is one million percent Winston
<v Speaker 1>and I thought of that in the second She was like,
<v Speaker 1>do you believe it GHEs paranormal activity? Whatever, he just goes.
<v Speaker 1>He goes if there's a paycheck. I believe in whatever
<v Speaker 1>you want, Like this is Brian watching the movie. Deal, Yes,
<v Speaker 1>Ed Broski's definitely Bill Murray And I think that I'm
<v Speaker 1>dan Aykroyd And I think Kannik is egone.
<v Speaker 2>Right, Oh and swordswoggles, slider.
<v Speaker 1>Slimer, Yeah, yeah, brutal.
<v Speaker 2>I just think we're we're lucky that we're in I
<v Speaker 2>think we're at this and maybe I'm biased because I
<v Speaker 2>am this age, but that we have because of how
<v Speaker 2>we were born in the eighties, Like movies we just
<v Speaker 2>missed were like on HBO all the time where you
<v Speaker 2>could rent from the video store. But like I feel
<v Speaker 2>like if we were born a couple years earlier, we
<v Speaker 2>would have missed a lot of the cool mid nineties things.
<v Speaker 3>Or you don't that's also true, but I meant like
<v Speaker 3>you're not seeing it enough. Like you guys saw a ghosts.
<v Speaker 3>There's a ton of times in your kid so it
<v Speaker 3>lives on in your like heart and mind, you know
<v Speaker 3>what I mean. If you saw something once and never
<v Speaker 3>again because there's no HBO to fucking right, then it
<v Speaker 3>kind of like doesn't live on.
<v Speaker 2>But like there's so many things like I wish I
<v Speaker 2>would have saw more of, like Back to the Future
<v Speaker 2>or like but I was able to see those things
<v Speaker 2>on like HBO and VHS. Is if I would have
<v Speaker 2>said those in the theater, I don't think I would
<v Speaker 2>have been old enough to watch fucking like a real monsters,
<v Speaker 2>I'd fucking tike a. Look, it's just like the ship
<v Speaker 2>like that that I also cherish like that, like the
<v Speaker 2>Snick and stuff like that. I think if you were
<v Speaker 2>born for like you know, the originally day Joes, you
<v Speaker 2>ain't watching Snick. You don't have memories of our frae
<v Speaker 2>of the dark, you know.
<v Speaker 1>So it's like I think, but there was stuff in
<v Speaker 1>the eighties that you missed that that that you would
<v Speaker 1>have cherished instead, like gummy bears or whatever.
<v Speaker 2>The fuck. But I feel like I got gumming bears.
<v Speaker 2>I got gummy bears.
<v Speaker 1>Brot okay, well gummy bears.
<v Speaker 3>I got gummy bears. All right.
<v Speaker 1>Well there's I mean, there's so much to talk about. Uh,
<v Speaker 1>Ghostbusters is.
<v Speaker 3>Just more bum that I can't tell people I've never
<v Speaker 3>seen this fucking movie anymore. Well you've never seen Ghostbusters
<v Speaker 3>two or or After Life, So I hear you guys
<v Speaker 3>got me sort of contemplating After Life just because then
<v Speaker 3>I can at least understand a lot more of it.
<v Speaker 2>But I have a proposal for next month.
<v Speaker 1>Oh boy, Okay, I was I was gonna bring up
<v Speaker 1>next month.
<v Speaker 2>Do I have a proposal? Okay, because I wanted to
<v Speaker 2>always involve toys somehow, someway. Yeah, I agree, hear me
<v Speaker 2>out here, high hopes. This movie massive flop that has
<v Speaker 2>a toy line water World, now, Dick Tracy.
<v Speaker 3>Man, I either saw that in the theater or like
<v Speaker 3>a handful of Times of the Year came out like
<v Speaker 3>on VHS and I've never seen it again. I would
<v Speaker 3>be like it would be literally like seeing it.
<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen it in years too. I think I
<v Speaker 1>would be willing to do that.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think I saw it in the theater and
<v Speaker 2>had the toys.
<v Speaker 3>I definitely had the toys and the video game.
<v Speaker 2>Like that was something that like if you're a fan
<v Speaker 2>of like Disney, like they were supposed they were. They
<v Speaker 2>thought this was gonna be it, Like they thought this
<v Speaker 2>was going to be their Batman. They were planning in
<v Speaker 2>rides for it all this they thought there was gonna
<v Speaker 2>be the like their Batman eighty nine.
<v Speaker 3>Toys are so unique too, there's not really like other things.
<v Speaker 3>They're like heman ish but yeah, this this.
<v Speaker 1>Movie is very interesting, especially to me because I do
<v Speaker 1>remember being very disappointed with it, and I remember being
<v Speaker 1>very engrossed and uh interested in in all the characters.
<v Speaker 1>And then you watch the movie and the characters get bullshit.
<v Speaker 1>They get nothing right, like like who's Flathead? I don't
<v Speaker 1>fucking know because he was barely in the movie, you know,
<v Speaker 1>really right, I just remember being very disappointed with it.
<v Speaker 3>Well, if this ends up where Broski spends a ton
<v Speaker 3>of money in the Blank, I'm all for it.
<v Speaker 2>I really thinking. Yes, I think I finally have to
<v Speaker 2>all these years want to get the blank, and I
<v Speaker 2>want to talk about the histor the blank.
<v Speaker 3>Let's do it.
<v Speaker 1>I think, Yeah, I think that's great. But my other question, Brian,
<v Speaker 1>you saw Terminators, right, You've seen them?
<v Speaker 2>Wanted to Like when I was a kid, I didn't, doesn't.
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't a big arnold guy like Brosky sod they
<v Speaker 2>kind of but I didn't see the I didn't see
<v Speaker 2>them as a kid like I would do that one
<v Speaker 2>month too.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think Terminator is a good one.
<v Speaker 2>Let's let's do Dick Tracy, Let's last action hero. But
<v Speaker 2>I actually think I would do that I'll do that
<v Speaker 2>next after after fucking Dick Tracy.
<v Speaker 1>Last time. I liked the idea of Dick Tracy because
<v Speaker 1>I think we're all gonna fucking hate it.
<v Speaker 3>Oh bro, I don't have high hopes at all.
<v Speaker 2>If I wasn't he's a kid. I don't know if
<v Speaker 2>I like, I remember like a big I think it's
<v Speaker 2>McDonald's promote, Like they went all fucking out with this thing.
<v Speaker 3>You know, it felt like you had to be in
<v Speaker 3>on it as a kid because it was a big deal. Right, yeah,
<v Speaker 3>everywhere it's gone. I don't know what's at CVS. When
<v Speaker 3>we were a kid, they'd a very very small they
<v Speaker 3>still do a very small toy selection, but even smaller
<v Speaker 3>than they do now. And then Dick Tracy guys were there,
<v Speaker 3>like that's how pop itember. I got a bunch there
<v Speaker 3>the CBS in my town.
<v Speaker 2>Wild Yeah all.
<v Speaker 1>Right, Well I loved I loved The Ghostbusters. It was
<v Speaker 1>for that.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm sure I'm missing so much because it was
<v Speaker 2>just a great, great movie that I just love more
<v Speaker 2>and more. And I feel like, you know, once I
<v Speaker 2>have a kid, I'll be watching you know. I won't
<v Speaker 2>give him my proton pack, but I'll buy him his
<v Speaker 2>proton pack, you know, shit like that.
<v Speaker 3>I can't get a kid that proton back swoggles naked ass.
<v Speaker 2>No, I got kid one kid version.
<v Speaker 1>So it also is worth mentioning. The very recent video
<v Speaker 1>game that came out is a hit. I mean it is.
<v Speaker 1>It is a really good, really fun But.
<v Speaker 2>Isn't it like a decade old? Isn't the one where
<v Speaker 2>it's supposed to it's supposed to be? What the third
<v Speaker 2>movie is.
<v Speaker 1>That's a decade old? There's a brand new one that
<v Speaker 1>just came out. Oh okay, okay, it's it's phenomenal. There's
<v Speaker 1>a great online play to it.
<v Speaker 2>But even that other video game is really good, right, yeah, yeah.
<v Speaker 3>Loug for marks Twitch channel, I feel like it's coming up.
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm not gonna play that game. I'm so bad
<v Speaker 1>at it. It's fun, though, I'm really bad. I played
<v Speaker 1>it on the A W Games but channel wasn't actually
<v Speaker 1>all right?
<v Speaker 3>All right, anyone sees Tony Kahn and Rick Moran is
<v Speaker 3>in the same place, you know, we'll concern
