No, your eyes and ears aren’t deceiving you - it’s a new Crossrip! Troy and Chris reunite (and it feels so good) to look back on the year that was our hiatus from October 2021 to date, and we take the opportunity to chat about the passing of Ivan Reitman, the future of the franchise with the codename Firehouse sequel, Dark Horse Comics, Netflix series, the animated film, Spirits Unleashed, and a whole lot more. Plus, it’s our first real opportunity to broach the topic of Ghostbusters: Afterlife and just what it means to both of us. Don’t call it a come back, call it a quick visit and join us, won’t you?
#118 - "It's Miller Time! with the Ghostbusters of British Columbia" - November 2, 2015
This week: our first Miller Time with a franchise! Troy and Chris sit down for beers with the Ghostbusters of British Columbia to find out what makes them tick in the first of what we hope are many more Miller Times to come. But first, some news including the OFFICIAL reveal of the LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse, a little chat on Ghostheads: The Documentary, Ivan Reitman's interview with Salon, and that bonkers Deadspin article on the man behind Vigo the Carpathian.
#117 - Ernest Cline/Author "Ready Player One" & "Armada" - October 26, 2015
This week on the Crossrip, we're so excited to have author and screenwriter Ernest Cline on the show! With Back to the Future day in the not-so-distant rear-view mirror, new Star Wars and Ghostbusters on the horizon, and Ernie's adaptation of "Ready Player One" about to begin production, it's only fitting that Troy and Chris get a little time to talk to the owner of the Ecto-88 himself. Hear about the inspiration for his unique Ectomobile, his future projects and a little discussion on programming the perfect Halloween double-feature. All that plus the latest news including a Toys R Us LEGO leak, Zoobe add-ons, and Michael C. Gross receiving a lifetime achievement award. This Halloween week, who're you gonna call for all the latest in Ghostbusters and pop culture? (Hint: this podcast.)
