Dan Aykroyd has seen Afterlife, Variety dives into Kate McKinnon’s anxieties (and how they inspired a certain Ghostbuster), and is Trevor changing the oil on the car in the middle of nowhere? That’s right, it’s another week and another episode of the Crossrip. We’re starting out with all the news fit to speak including Dan Aykroyd’s toast and comments about Afterlife (and his snub on SNL last week), Variety talking to Kate McKinnon about her social anxiety and comedy being her defense, and a few merch items. Then in the second half of the show, we’re answering your questions: when will we see another trailer? What’s in store for Ghostbusters Day? How can kids continue a legacy started in 1984? All that and a whole lot more awaits you,!
#644 - "LEGOs, Reeboks, and Ectotrons" - November 16, 2020
This week on the show, we're talking all about merch! From LEGO's new super-detailed Ecto-1 kit now available for purchase with an accessory that hints at things to come in Ghostbusters Afterlife to Hasbro re-offering the Ectotron Transformer ALSO with an Afterlife spin, there's much to talk about! There's also a paper insert within the new Reebok Ghoststomper sneakers that may give a few hints toward Afterlife, if only we could all decode the message. All that plus Ernie Hudson's Vinz Clortho theory, Dan Aykroyd's Bottle Service video, Ray Parker Jr. on the Professor of Rock and why Ghostbusters II was trending on Twitter last week!
#313 - "Carrier Hawks" - April 10, 2017
This week on the show: messages from carrier hawks, Crystal Head Vodka lawsuits and Hugo Awards (oh, my)! First up on the show, we revisit last week's Ghostbusters 101 Cyclotron roundtable for a few follow-up discussion points from Michael Tanaka, keeper of Ghostbusters lore-extraordinaire. Next, Troy and Chris chat about Ghostbusters Answer the Call's Hugo Award nomination and the fierce competition it faces. Finally, Dan Aykroyd emerged victorious from one of the most dramatic court room dramas since some of the best episodes of Law and Order - and Troy will excitedly attempt to recount the tale. All that plus Chris chats about the VFX magazine from the Ghostbusters Resurrection podcasters as promised from last week's show. Pour a Crystal Head-based beverage and join us!
#210 - "It's Miller Time! with Monster Party" - February 29, 2016
Celebrate Leap Day with an all-new Miller Time with the podcasters of Monster Party! Troy and Chris sit down with the fearless four of Monster Party, Matt Weinhold, Shawn Sheridan, Larry Strothe and James Gonis to find out how they got started in the podcasting realm, have become masters of the horror genre in your ear-holes, and get their thoughts on Ghostbusters: why the original was so popular, why the sequel failed to live up to that potential, the merchandising onslaught that resulted, and what they think (for better or worse) about the upcoming Ghostbusters (2016). All that plus a lot of Crystal Head Vodka and Defending Slimer's Life on our second Miller Time!
