This week on the show, we’re recapping all the goings-on at Hasbro’s virtual PulseCon Ghostbusters panels: from Ernie Hudson’s walk down memory lane to two new product reveals. The Ecto-1 Plasma Series Ecto-1 came (and went) on the same day it was announced, and a Real Ghostbusters retro GhostPopper was reissued through Walmart stores and (as of this printing) is still available for purchase. Aside from that, what did we glean from the panel and the interviewees. And what does this panel reveal a bit about Hasbro’s focus in terms of demographic, or more specifically some of the challenges that they’re facing with Ghostbusters? All of these topics, plus a whole lot of talk about Jason Reitman’s walk around the Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters Afterlife is here and ready for your ears!

On this, the most glorious 70th birthday of one William Murray, we present a crossover event of biblical proportions: the Crossrip meets the Resurrection in a role-playing audio drama spectacular! Join Chris and Troy as Ghost Master Doug Banks of Ghostbusters Resurrection fame leads them through an incredible scenario as liaisons to the Paranormal Contracts Oversight Commission (or PCOC, for short). Just a couple of suits out on a routine inventory are about to embark upon the adventure of a lifetime. Will they be possessed? Will they ever be able to eat sushi comfortably again? And will they be stopped by the Rat King? All these questions and more are revealed in an incredible story spun by Doug. Ready to continue your adventure? Listen to the exciting conclusion in the Ghostbusters Resurrection feed immediately after! (Amazing cover artwork by John Yurcaba himself as well!)

Chris is working extremely hard on a special project to be unveiled next week, so this week you’re stuck with the single-voice ramblings of Troy as he drinks a Carthay Manhattan. Some of the topics of one-sided discussion this week include Sony Pictures Entertainment Chairman Tony Vinciquerra’s comments during a media conference about Sony’s release plans for 2020 and beyond - and how they were misconstrued by the internet, but what they may tell us could be in store come January/February of next year. Rick Moranis made a comeback (was he ever really absent in our hearts though) in a Ryan Reynolds commercial which was delightful, what could it mean for him stepping back in front of the camera in the future? All that and a whole lot of using this platform for rambling and long-winded therapy are in store, tune in! Baby steps!
