This week on the show, some Ghostbusters (2020) developments, merch news, and a discussion topic that makes us feel old (what doesn’t, at this point?). First up, merch news including a Mondo soundtrack release, Cakeworthy clothes, NYCC Diamond Select exclusives, and some video game news including Left For Dead 2 DLC up for sale. Then, in our first Ghostbusters (2020) segment in a long time, Ivan Reitman and Dan Aykroyd were at Halloween Horror Nights in Hollywood and Entertainment Tonight may have gotten them to spill a few (spoilerific beans) including who Paul Rudd might be playing in the new film. And, Dan appeared on the Joe Rogan podcast confirming something that we already knew - but it set the internet abuzz. In the last segment of this week’s show, Troy and Chris explore the anachronisms of Ghostbusters. Things that have been phased out that the new generation of fans will never understand. Check the card catalog for the episode’s location and join us, won’t you? Plus - stay tuned to the very end for a fun contest, Stewart-style!
#527 - "Ecto-35 and Mash-Ups" - July 8, 2019
Where to start this week? We’ve got first-hand accounts with Hasbro’s Ecto-35 SDCC exclusive, Paul Rudd joining Ghostbusters (2020), and tons and tons of merch news. First up, Troy and Chris talk about the Optimus Prime gone Ghostbusters that Hasbro was kind enough to send our way, and as it turns out, it sort of fulfilled a childhood dream for Troy. Then, we keep the merch train running including Diamond Select exclusives, Halloween Costumes, Naked and Famous Battle Jackets, and yet another mobile game integration. Rounding out our Ghostbusters (2020) discussion, yes indeed we’ll finally talk about the big news that Paul Rudd has joined Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters film which begins production shortly in Calgary. Experiencing some deja vu? It might be because this (kinda) all happened back in 2009. Birthday girl McKenna Grace spoke with ET Canada about her reaction to being cast (hint: she freaked out). All that plus some comments on that whole “hallway” thing that happened on social media on this week’s jam-packed Crossrip!
