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,!

#238 - Marie Hicks, Ph.D/Asst. Professor History of Technology - September 19, 2016
This week on the show we're joined by special guest, Marie Hicks, Ph.D - an Assistant Professor and Historian of Technology and Gender, and she might also happen to be the person that inflated a Stay Puft lawn decoration in her living room. We'll talk to her about the living room incident as well as discuss the social impact and debate that surrounded Ghostbusters: Answer the Call. But before that - news of course! This week marked the 30th Anniversary of The Real Ghostbusters originally airing, and the boys talk a bit about how they celebrated. Bill Murray is being honored by the Kennedy Center, Halloween is in the air (and so is all of the corresponding merchandise), and the Little Golden Books have hit the shelves! It's a jam-packed episode you won't want to miss! For more on Marie head to her website: www.mariehicks.net
