You should definitely watch The Goonies. Entertaining movie.

This movie has my all-time favorite joke by Bill Murray when the Ghostbusters are talking to the mayor and one of them says, "Dickless over here shut down our vault." The mayor says, "is that true?" Bill Murray responds, "Yes, this man has no dick."

[@gokaury]

I am employed as a dock worker and whenever a truck driver comes to the door after docking their truck I never fail to use Janine's line to the cop who has come to bring them Louis: "Dropping off or picking up." There are so many quotable lines in this movie, it is really hard for me to pick an all time favorite. But I do use quite a bit of lines from it in my day-to-day life.

[@drewbear1969]

You definitely need to check out Sigourney Weaver in _Galaxy Quest!_ Lots of fun with an amazing cast and she's totally not Ripley there 😄 Saw this in the theater and you're right that we hadn't really ever seen something like this before, but it wasn't the effects, that was all pretty standard stuff, it was just a new variation of the ghost story with hip actors, hip music, and hip attitudes, a real blast to watch with an audience who'd been hearing this song on the radio for the past few weeks so we were all singing along 😎

[@kf8346]

Galaxy quest deserves extra attention, because it was so poorly advertised. Nobody expected it to be good. And then everyone who watched it loved it.

Yes, Goonies is a classic must-watch. And the sequel to this “Ghostbusters II” is definitely worth a watch, don’t let anyone tell you differently. It was made about 5 years later with all the same cast (actually gives bigger parts to a couple slightly lessor but awesome characters from this movie)

[@TCHC85]

"Yes, it's true. This man has no dick." It made me laugh at 10 years old and it still makes laugh at almost 40 years old.

The Ghost Busters fire station is still a working fire station in NYC. They even have the Ghost Busters sign still up. Tourists go there and take pictures of it all the time.

[@AJustRage]

Gooooonies for sure! A cult classic that lives up to the hype even for newbies!

[@matthewhobbs81]

Loved the reaction. And there's a couple of hidden gags in there. The first one is the irony of lewis being the key master, yet he always locks himself out of his apartment. The second one, when they are going over the bill with the manager, if you watch egons hands, he's actually telling venkman how much to charge.

[@michellelamar8965]

The reason that ugly green ghost “Slimer” is always eating ravenously is because he was a caricature of actor John Belushi, more specifically his character in Animal House, who was often stuffing his face. john Belushi and Dan Akroyd (Ray) were really close friends, did a LOT of shows/projects together including “Blues Brothers.” Akroyd was one of the writers of this movie and had every intention of having his BFF Belushi be one of the Ghostbusters. I thought I heard or read somewhere that Akroyd was actually at his typewriter working on the script when he got the call that Belushi had died of an overdose. He was devastated, theyd been best mates for years. Modeling Slimmer after him was a way to honor and still “include “ him in the movie.

[@StevesFunhouse]

CGI was in its infancy at this moment. They could do some very basic things but nothing that was movie ready at this point. CGI was not really used until the late 80s or early 90s. The ghost in this movie were all practical and what they had learned how to do from Raiders of the Lost Ark and that ghost scene.

[@ajruther67]

Yes, it's true about Elvis. He had been constipated for a few days (due to all the prescription drugs he always took). The strain of trying to go caused a heart attack. He was found on the bathroom floor.

[@solicitr666]

"Prescription."

[@jtoland2333]

Yep. Happens more often than people think. There's a nerve that runs from the heart to the anus. Every time you bear down, that nerve pulls on your heart. My aunt, a nurse, told me this on the subject of Elvis and his death. I've been slightly scared to use the rest room ever since.....

[@douglascampbell9809]

@@solicitr666 Opioid painkillers cause horrible constipation. I was prescribed morphine fir the pain from a staph infection in my leg. It's was like having molten shards a glass under your skin 24/7. The stuff slows your digestive tract something awful. Still better than the pain though.

He was also known to eat sandwiches while on the throne. Although that may be an urban legend.

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

[@Fyrecide]

23:17 That bridge in the background is the Brooklyn Bridge, but the one they're on in the Manhattan Bridge. No CGI in this movie, it was all composit/rotoscoping, and it was absolutely brilliant. The fact that this movie more or less holds up (with a few exceptions of the terror hound scenes looking a bit still) is a testament to how brilliant this film was made for the time.

[@RamblingRose08]

Ghostbusters Afterlife (2021) is not a reboot. It is the 3rd installment in the franchise.

[@thebyrd433]

You NEED to see Galaxy Quest. It is an absolute howl. Sigourney Weaver at her funniest. Plus it's just a fun movie overall.

[@dansdiscourse4957]

My understanding is that Slimer was intended to be an homage to the late John Belushi, Dan Ackroyd's friend and creative partner. Watch Animal House or The Blues Brothers and you'll see the resemblance

[@jestertlsodx9897]

The 2nd ghost, at the hotel was a representation of a friend of theirs, John Belushi. Look him up. He was great.

[@christhornycroft3686]

Watching this reminds me of just how good Canadian and SNL alumnus Dan Aykroyd is. If you want to watch a terrific, almost forgotten movie that will shatter whatever preconceived notions you may have about chick flicks, My Girl (1991) is the one, and he plays the father. It's also Macauley Culkin's best film and he's not even the main character. I have a soft spot for the Motown, late 60s, early 70s soundtrack too. The movie was huge when I was 9 years old. Every kid I knew was singing "Do Wah Diddy Diddy." This is another one of those movies that proves that you don't have to be going at Michael Bay pace to make an engaging movie. This came out 2 years before Top Gun, which is where the pacing of movies went from manageable to warp speed. I couldn't watch movies in the 90s with my peers because they'd complain about how "slow" my favourite movies were. Silence of the Lambs is considered "slow" compared to a lot of movies these days and suspense isn't a thing anymore. That's why some of my favourite movies are pre-1995. For another good 80s Dan Aykroyd movie besides My Girl, The Blues Brothers is a good one, too.

[@KKowalski1022]

The newest one isn’t a remake. It’s a continuation! I highly recommend watching Ghostbusters Afterlife after you watch Ghostbusters 2!!!!

[@Raees-Divitiae]

This is described as "Lighting In a Bottle", and I have to agree. The newest one is also great. In the drive-in, everybody threw marshmallows up in the air when "roast him!" was shouted.

[@davidnoel2977]

The actor who is playing the neighbor character Lewis is Rick Moranis. And he is the main character in two great movies. One is the remake of "Little shop of Horrors" and the other is " Honey I shrunk the kids"

[@andrewft31]

[@janetbaker645]

Ok….the first scene in the library, (think pre-digital special effects) the books floating in the air…”Books on a rope” and the cards…there was a false wall behind the drawers…and people were blowing the cards out with a copper hose….the upstairs library was filmed in New York and the downstairs was filmed in LA library…same with the fire station… the foam was supposed to be marshmallow….but really was shaving cream

[@ericmeland4153]

I love how the restaurant patrons go back to doing what they were doing like nothing happened! LOL!!!

[@btnhstillfire]

The green ghost is “Slimer”. Hes a staple in the franchise. Hes the good ghost that is basically non official part of the Ghostbusters team in the actual series and cartoons.

[@Ladylike79]

Great reaction, looking forward to seeing you react to the sequel. This movie still holds up despite how old it is, and the performances were fantastic. Most people give all of the credit to Bill Murray which is well deserved, but Dan Ackroyd and Rick Moranis were my favorites. Just have to add that Janine's accent is definitely North Jersey, not South. Speaking as a lifelong South Jersey resident! 😄

[@gokaury]

Rick Moranis actually wrote all of his lines. He may not have initially written his Vinz Clortho speech, but he did rework it and make it his own.

[@Thane36425]

This was a good movie to see in the theater when it came out. It had some scares, mainly the first ghost and the "dogs". The female ghost visiting in the night did cause some uncomfortable questions from the kiddies though. The theme song has a music video for it. It was one of the early ones playing on MTV. The song itself was very popular and was on the radio for a long time. People were also wearing Ghostbuster T-shirts for a long time, too.

[@AlexHernandez-yb9rx]

Yes! I’m actually wearing my Goonies tee today lol 😂 Goonies for sure! Did you react to Ferris Bueller’s Day off? Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure? There’s so many movies from the 80s and 90s. 😉

[@dlcalbaugh]

You edited this really well. I feel like I got to watch the movie all over again. This is such a classic.

[@kathyastrom1315]

As a librarian, I promise you that the ghost was not a former employee, unless she realllllly hated her work. No real librarian would have disassembled the card catalog like that! Heck, no librarian would have misshelved books, either. I do love that the film opens there.

Good point.

This is my favorite film of all time. I totally agree with what you said, it’s not artsy, it’s just fun, light hearted, joyful, and yet the comedy is so dry and oblique. It’s a lightning in a bottle experience.

[@TreyM1609]

“Where do the stairs go?….they got up!” There’s a ghostbusters 2 that’s really good as well.

[@loveit7484]

I think you nailed it. Alot of 80s movies were just easy to watch. You cheered for your heros, felt a part of the movie. They moved along at a great pace. Since cgi wasnt inviolved actors/ writing/ special effects had to catch your attention. Sadly, like music everything became edgier through 2000s. Movies today? Its rare to have a great blockbuster . Enjoying you enjoying these movies.

[@jenniferlucas3540]

A lot of 80s movies were just fun. Sometimes questionable, especially by today’s morays, frequently cheesy, but fun. Lots of memorable quotes and characters that didn’t rely on fx to cover for lack of content.

All the scenes are famous New York landmarks. The opening scene is the real New York Public Library. Other locals are Tavern OnThe Green restaurant in Central Park, Columbia University campus, Lincoln Centre complex, and the New York FDNY firehouse station located in Tribeca in downtown Manhattan (a few blocks north of WorldTrade Centre) the firehouse is a working station. The apartment building is directly across from Central Park.

"I find her interesting because she's a client and because she sleeps above her covers. Four feet above her covers"! "I want you inside me". "No, I can't. It sounds like you've got at least two or three people in there already". That bridge they cross is the Manhattan bridge looking south towared the Brooklyn bridge. Next up watch "Groundhog Day" with Bill Murray. "How do you know there will be a tomorrow? There wasn't one today!"

[@JoeVideoed]

I was in middle school when this came out & the national Scholastic monthly mag we got had a note about this film & how advanced the special FX were for it; made me really want to see this movie & it didn't disappoint. 1 of the best comedy & sci-fi films of all time. Also, my fav color is orange & seeing Sigourney Weaver in that outfit ........ WHOA MOMMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@liszacharysmith]

About 6 months before this movie came out, the Ghostbuster logo was popping up all over the country and we didn't know what it meant! The logo just popped up from time to time and it drew the interest. Finally the ads for the movie came out at the theaters! By that time everyone wanted to see the movie!

Back then I thought it was a real services' company but I didn't have it clear what they meant by busting ghosts.

[@captainbryce1]

The bridge they're drying on at 23:19 is the Manhattan Bridge. It runs parallel to the Brooklyn Bridge (which you see in the background), across the East River. Both bridges connect downtown Brooklyn to lower Manhattan.

Rick Moranis played Louis. And he was a big star in the 80's. He played in the Star Wars Spoof, Space Balls, Little Shop of Horrors, & He was in Honey I Shrunk The Kids, Honey I Blew Up The Baby, & Honey We Shrunk Ourselves. Very lovable guy. In Ghostbusters, he was the "Key Master", but he repeatedly locked himself out of his own Apartment.

Ivan Reitman and Bill Murray did Meatballs, Stripes, then Ghostbusters. The first two had smaller budgets, but the humor style is there. It was nominated for two Oscars but didn't win - Best Effects and Best Original Song. (Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Stevie Wonder "I Just Called to Say I Love You" from The Woman in Red were the winners. )

Your confusion is only natural, but they did not have CGI effects for most movies back then, it was all models, puppets, animation, and light effects, shot against a "blue screen" green screen came much later.

[@michaelserot6844]

To your query about the library ghost, if you play the 2009 video game, they expand on her backstory. She WAS a librarian who was murdered by her... husband, I think? and she never left after she died. It wasn't until the guys solved her murder that she disappeared from the basement. It was a really fun game. Slimer, the green hotel ghost, was modeled after John Belushi, who was supposed to be Peter Venkman. Dan Aykroyd wanted Slimer to be similar to Bluto Blutarsky from Animal House, which is why he was so hungry. Did you notice that when figuring out the bill, Venman looks at Spengler who cryptically holds up 4 fingers ($4,000) and when it came to storage fees, he holds up one finger for the additional $1,000. The reveal of Ecto-1 is my favorite introductory shot of any vehicle ever.

[@sonyawasmer2344]

The theater was a riot! The scene where Vinkman gets slimed the audience was screaming and howling with so much laughter you couldn't hear anything Ray was saying after it. I miss the days when audiences would really get into laughing at a movie. Oddly enough another movie around this time that I remember the audience have an awesome raucous time was Spielberg's 1941. For some reason that movie failed at the box office but I loved it and the audience I saw it with did too.
