Hey everyone! There’s a lot going on, right? Between Hasbro’s latest HasLab, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, Rise of the Ghost Lord and a tease from the official Ghostbusters channels that something is coming? You know that means we have to podcast, right? It’s a given. Must. Join Troy and Chris this week as they talk about the tease and what it could mean, is it a trailer? Is it a poster? Is it a title reveal for the new Ghostbusters film? Is it all of the above? After that, the boys talk Hasbro’s latest amazing crowdfunding effort that promises a Ghost Trap and PKE Meter for $300, and we’ve been logging some hours on Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed ECTO EDITION, so we’ll throw in a few thoughts. All that plus some in an all-new episode of the Crossrip!
#203 - "Paul Feig Is Not In Charge of the Cupcakes" - January 18, 2016
This week, the Crossrip remembers David Margulies ("Mayor Lenny Clotch") and catches up on all the news that's fit for another podcast. Trailer Watch 2016 continues as no Ghostbusters (2016) trailer is in sight, but there's a whole lot of licensing news to talk about including Mattel action figures, Rubies Halloween costumes and a big event that took place in London this past week put on by the Rocket Licensing folks. Sounds boring? It wasn't - a good chunk of new props/gear from the 2016 film was on display and Troy and Chris feel like speculating on everything we saw. Ghost Corps wants you to know that you'll be able to have a Lazer Aventura at a Six Flags near you (and wants your franchise patches for a brand new display in their shiny offices)! Want to see GB16 early? Make a bid on IfOnly's charitable fundraising effort for a private screening before anyone else gets to see it. Want to hear some anecdotes we never knew about Ray Parker Jr.'s iconic Ghostbusters theme song and the music video that accompanied it? ScreenCrush had a great article that the boys will discuss. All that, plus a couple hashtags to use in the weeks coming on an all-new Crossrip!
