This is so awesome Adam I got Mr.Rogers vibes but for Ghostbusters fans love it! Thanks for sharing these great videos. Stay Safe 😷

[@SpaceWizardCosplay]

The toaster @02:35 looks vaguely familiar... holy crap... it IS the same toaster! And also a box of Cheez-it crackers. Egon's second-favorite snack after Twinkies.

[@leemarsh3569]

That was really cool, love seeing behind the scenes

[@michaelhatchcpa]

Just saw you at the convention in Salt Lake. You did not disappoint.

[@digitaIgorilla]

The juxtaposition of going upstairs and seeing an old farmhouse suddenly become chip board over new timber frame is fascinating. Totally blows your mind!

[@Devin-O]

The skill and mindset to build this masterpiece in a short period is insane.

[@nanuq83]

Adam is that kid in all of us who's told not to press that button but he looks, gets slowly closer and bam hits anyway just to see what'll happen. None of us can be there to touch any of that so I'm glad he did for us!

[@Alex4044167]

The set guy has one of the coolest jobs in the world.

[@OJ_1138]

Seeing Adam happy makes me happy. Super excited to seeing this when it comes out. Hopefully worth the wait.

[@Dargonhuman]

Honestly, Adam's bts videos are getting me more hyped and hopeful than the normal hype sources like Akroyd or Murray saying it's good. They lost a lot of goodwill when they hyped up 2016, and we know they're contractually obligated to hype this one up like that one, but Adam is looking at all of this as a regular fan, not someone under contract, so if he's excited about it, then it sends us the message that we should be excited too.

[@WadeDMcGinnis]

Adam and the Tested crew do a lovely job of showing you all the careers we don't know but the passion is still very much visible in the movie.

[@Dargonhuman]

Indeed. It's that level of passion and care that everyone seems to be putting in that makes us hopeful for this to be a good movie, as this level of love and dedication has been severely lacking in most Hollywood productions the last few years.

[@BlinkyTrigger]

The set decorator, Alex's kit is AMAZING everything on that rig is carefully chosen

[@Lipsmith]

Awwww. You flatter me. As an on set guy,. You have to think quick and have your tricks close at hand

[@chasestankievech]

As a proud southern Albertan it’s awesome knowing a majority of the film was shot in southern Alberta, and it’s super fun to see Adam’s excitement

[@Russellsperry]

Ghostbusters afterlife looks like it could be really good, and I can’t wait to see it. From what I’ve heard this time they’re going to respect the original Ghostbusters! 👍

[@growmiezhomiez8760]

I agree 100%

[@breade]

Most definitely...can't wait to see how the remaining original cast makes appearances in this movie

[@bepbep7418]

Dan Akroyd has said it feels more like the first movie then any of the others. Coming from one of the original writers, that says a lot.

[@malfattio2894]

This comment will either age very well or very poorly. Either way, a bunch of people will point it out.

[@breade]

@@malfattio2894 haha so true

[@MrRandomcommentguy]

I *love* the attention to detail with the very old, not perfectly smooth panes of glass in the windows. That tiny detail is absolutely *critical* to making the set feel like a genuine old house.

[@willierants5880]

Blown away! Alex just one of many unsung hero's of movie making. What a character, what an interview. Put that guy in front of a camera and make'em a star!

[@karynelizabeth6065]

There is little more wholesome than Adam Savage geeking out over the set of Ghostbusters. It's like watching your dad at a car show. This glimpse of this grown man you've known since you were a kid turning into a kid out of sheer joy and splendor.

[@dodaexploda]

You could've totally made this 30 minutes long. I WANT MORE!

[@IowaMan]

thank you so much adam and the team for getting the chance to share with us all the cool ghostbusters stuff they've been working on!

The stack of books HAS to be a callback to the library scene in GB1

[@OneMouseGaming]

@@DrummondsPoint Bingo!

[@brendah.6366]

My thoughts, exactly!!!

[@moze_-]

@@DrummondsPoint I love the fact that whole bit was improved lol.

[@dcb_75]

Amazing. The one detail that jumped out at me right away was the electrical wiring on the outside of the walls. My grandparents lived in a much smaller farmhouse here in Saskatchewan and the house was build when a lot of places still didn't have electricity(not sure when it was built, pre 1940 for sure) so at the time there was no thought of light switches or light or power sockets, even the phone line. When all that was added, the wire was literally stapled onto the wall in most cases where as the house I grew up in was built in the 1950s and already that was integrated into the walls. For me, seeing that in this set really tells me the age they were going for with the house.

[@jimmyjimjims7483]

I appreciate the effort that the set builders went through to get so many details right, I'm hoping and praying we get the ghostbusters we deserve (and not the one they tried to pass off back in 2016...) Gotta say I love the enthusiasm that Adam has for these pieces of cinema, its contagious and gives me that hope!

[@Dargonhuman]

Yea, the actors lost a lot of goodwill with the fans when they helped promote 2016 (I know they were under contract to do so, but that doesn't change how we feel about it), so hearing them say the same things about Afterlife rings a bit hollow. Adam is under no such contractual obligations and is looking at all of these things through the eyes of an excited fan like us, so it comes off as a lot more genuine. Anyone who is familiar with Adam from his Mythbuster days also knows that he doesn't fake his enthusiasm for things, so if he's excited about something like this, then he has reasons to feel that way, which kind of gives us "permission" to get equally excited for it.

[@JamesFarrOfficial]

Let's see what happens when we take away the puppy.

[@OGdadpool]

Taking away is apparently easier...

[@LPTV84]

Heeeey. Nice to see you here, James. I still remember your Super Mario Ghostbusters parodies. Maybe we'll get one more for Afterlife ;)

[@lastborn8s]

Brilliant commentary then … brilliant commentary now!!! Hopefully not lost to the masses …

[@kriscynical]

Just from the trailers I've been able to tell that the people behind this movie are passionate about the franchise and truly love it. That shows through. There's love in this and as a child of the '80s I _cannot wait_ to see it.

[@TLZ]

Im SUPER excited for everything you guys are bringing from this film. I wasnt even a real GB fan until this time last year when i dove down the rabbithole and made a flightsuit of my own.

[@Dargonhuman]

Nice. Welcome to the family.

[@MarangTamburiki]

The love they have put into the details for this movie really makes you excited for Ghostbusters Afterlife. You can see and feel that they went to great lengths in order to give respect to what came before, then build upon the established lore. Kudos to all involved in this! 🙂

What a great set. Thanks for sharing Adam! No where near as close in detail, I worked at Radio Shack in the 80's and got a chance to walk through a store set and meet Bill Bixby. The set was detailed with the latest parts on the wall and systems on shelves. Absolutely fascinating and immersive experience. Awesome virtual experience!

[@gdoggo2024]

Okay, so this may have already been mentioned, but Stantz put a mortgage on his family home to get startup money. Ecto-1 ended up in the barn of this house. I feel like it would have tied the story together nicely if they had worked that small detail in somewhere. Maybe Ray and Egon spent some time out there continuing their research, Ray did other things, but Egon settled in.

[@jedijones]

I don't think it fits because this house is near Shandor mines as shown in the trailer. It seems like Egon chose to move here to investigate the mines.

A side benefit of that is when you move on to the next part for a bit, your brain is allowed to untangle itself and "forget" what you were doing on the previous part, so when you go back to it, you can look at it more objectively and recognize problems that you might have been ignoring before because you were "too close" to the artistry to recognize them.

[@EddVCR]

@@Dargonhuman Great point! I can avert the annoying phenomenon of not being able to make any objective decision of a piece because I’ve looked at it for too long.

[@unclejrok9083]

Suggestion for the next time Adam gets to do something like this: At the end of the video, when he is talking to the guest about how they came into this line of work, maybe a cutaway to movie credits to show where this person would be credited for their work on the movie. I still watch movie credits and have no idea what a Best Boy Grip is...

[@SexyRyo1]

In a film crew, there are two kinds of best boy: best boy electric and best boy grip. They are assistants to their department heads, the gaffer (in charge of electricals), and the key grip (lighting and rigging), respectively. In short, the best boy acts as the foreman for the department.
