Troy and Chris are back this week to talk about the current state of affairs - the whole world is in a state of flux: financially, politically, and technologically and the entertainment industry is feeling the effects. What does it mean for Ghostbusters? And also, is there an answer to all the people clamoring on message boards and social media for an announcement of the next Ghostbusters project and release date? Could those two things be related? Give us a listen to hear our thoughts!
#1012 - "If We Could Change the World: Ghostbusters (1984)" - July 22, 2024
Troy and Chris haven’t connected in a month, so you can be sure there’s a lot to catch up on - so that’s first on the agenda: Universal re-embracing Ghostbusters, Back in Town concluding its four issue run, and more. Then, in the second half of the show, a new exercise inspired by a GBFans thread: if the boys could change just ONE thing about the original Ghostbusters film, what would it be? Tune in to find out what they might tweak George Lucas style, then hit us up on the voicemail to let us know what small change you would make if ever given the chance!
#538 - "Conspicuously Old Fashioned" - September 23, 2019
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!
#537 - "Masters of the Toy License Universe" - September 16, 2019
This week on the show, Troy and Chris are catching up on the biggest news items of the past few weeks: Hasbro, Halloween Horror Nights, Cleanin’ Up the Town and more! First up, Chris is flying to Calgary, but not for the reason that you’d immediately think, he’ll be attending one of the first (finally!) screenings of the Ghostbusters making-of documentary “Cleanin’ Up the Town.” Then, the boys talk about the recent news that Hasbro is taking over the master toy license next year. What does it mean? What do they hope is in store? All that plus items on Halloween Horror Nights and more on this week’s show!
#529 - "Family Photo" - July 22, 2019
This week on the show, production on Ghostbusters (2020) has commenced and we’ve seen the photos to prove it! Plus, Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios is ready to scare you with Ghostbusters! All that plus a ton of merch news coming out of the San Diego Comic-Con on this week’s show!
#516 - "20% Off My Heart" - April 22, 2019
This week on the show, Fan Fest developments, rumors for Halloween, and a mysterious Ectomobile photo! First up, the boys talk about the recent week in Fan Fest news including a 20%-off discount that was met first with some consternation and then relief (especially for some of our wallets). Next, rumors out of theme park blogs that Halloween Horror Nights might have a Ghostbusters-themed maze, what could it mean, and what could be in store? In Ghostbusters (2020) news, Jason Reitman posted a photo of some Caddy parts as a tease and the production is out location scouting. Finally, Activision has pulled many of its games from the Playstation Network Store, including Ghostbusters: The Video Game. Is it just the end of their license term or a sign of something to come?
