Hey, does this pole still work? Welcome back to the Ghostbusters Interdimensional Crossrip podcast! This week on the show, Troy and Chris talk a little about the state of the podcast, how we’ve figured out we’ll continue, and what that means is in store for your earholes in the future. Then, after we take care of the old business, it’s onto the new as we discuss the Eaglemoss Ecto-1 build continuing by Fanhome (spoiler, we may both not be continuing with the build — ooooh, drama), and the latest on the Ghostbusters: Afterlife sequel filming in London now. We haven’t had a chance to chat latest casting announcements, how the WGA and possibly other strikes are impacting production, and a whole lot more!

Nor rain, sleet, snow, colds, ear infections, termites, long work hours, can stop the - - well, they did.

After recording the commentary, the whole crew (sadly, minus Ashley) returned to Ghost Corps to decompress and talk about the experience of recording a fan commentary. Call this a post-commentary commentary, that was a whole lot of fun.
