My favourite trivia about Ghostbusters is how the song came to be and the legal aftermath. They wanted Huey Lewis to do it, but he was either unavailable or just didnt want to do it. So they hire Ray Parker Jr. to effectively write a Huey Lewis style song. Which is what he did. In fact it sounds so much like Huey Lewis that Huey sued Ray for copyright infringement (listen to the Huey Lewis & The News song I Want A New Drug; the Ghostbusters song is barely anything more than a remix of that with new lyrics). So since it was an open and shut case, they settled and Ray had to pay an "undisclosed amount of money". Now here's the fun part: Part of the settlement was a non-disclosure clause, meaning neither of them could talk about the details of the settlement. But apparently Huey told the amount of money he got from it in an interview or something, leading Ray to sue Huey for violating the non-disclosure clause. The result of which was that Huey had to pay Ray more than Ray originally had to pay Huey.

"Carl Winslow", was a cop in New York in 1984 (Ghostbusters). Sometime after, moved to Los Angeles and continued as a cop until the Nakatomi Plaza incident of 1988 (Die Hard). Realizing that he'd prefer handling crimes on a smaller scale, moved to Chicago in 1989 (Family Matters). That's my head canon for the same actor appearing in a similar role, in 3 separate projects :D

“What the hell are you doing?!?” was not scripted or ad libbed by the actress, who played the cleaning lady. It was an honest question directed at Ivan Reitman who told her to duck behind the cart, and they would set off a couple of sparks, but they legitimately blew up the cart with her right next to it.

21:25 Between this, Real Genius in 1985, and Die Hard in 1988, William Atherton got a lot of hate and name calling from kids because he was seen as the "jerk" character in a number of films back then. Harold Ramis had an anecdote where he had lunch with Atherton not long after Ghostbusters was a hit and said “so isn’t it great that it’s becoming so popular?” Atherton replied “there was a whole bus of teenagers the other day and I heard one kid say ‘Hey, Peck!’ so I turned around and the entire bus yelled ‘DICKLESS!’” How funny is that? Sure it is no fun being called names, but one of the greatest compliments to an actor is believing that they really are the character they played.

YES!!! LOVE THIS MOVIE!! John Belushi was considered to play the role of Peter Venkman, but sadly passed away due to a drug overdose. The character, Slimer, is said to the ghost of John Belushi. Bill Murray was cast in the role. Jeff Goldblum was going to play Egon Spengler before screenwriter Harold Ramis was cast Eddie Murphy was going to play Winston Zeddemore,but turned it down as he was busy working on Beverly Hills Cop. It was a box office and critical success making $295 million dollars against a $30 million dollar budget. It was nominated for Best Visual Effects and Best Original Song, but lost to Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom, and The Woman In Red. It's now considered to be one of the funniest movies ever made.

This movie was incredibly popular when it came out. After opening weekend, just about everyone at school had seen it at least once. Songs played on the radio for months, and "Who You Gonna Call" even had a music video. For some time afterwards you could see people wearing Ghostbuster T-shirts. I was wearing mine in a restaurant one day and this little toddler pulled its head up over seat of the next booth looking around. It saw my shirt and let out a loud "Ghostbusters!" So even 2 year olds (or so) knew Ghostbusters.

[@jamesoblivion]

Winston originally had a lot more lines and backstory, but most of that was dropped when Eddie Murphy, who was supposed to play the role, decided to do Beverly Hills Cop instead.

[@JH-lo9ut]

Eddie Murphy would not play the calm, collected version of Zedmore that we know and love. In 1984, he would have stolen the show from Bill Murray. Nothing would have been the same. I'm not saying it would have been bad per se, but it would have created a rift in reality and a new universe had been born.

[@jamesoblivion]

​​@@JH-lo9utExactly. And there are bits in the original script, like Ray being super excited that Winston is black, because black people were supposedly more attuned to some kind of supernatural entity or other...I can't recall what the exact dialogue was, but it was typical Ghostbusters paranormal technobabble. That's a scene you could see Dan and Eddie doing together, with them riffing off each other, but the character fundamentally changed after Eddie dropped out, and I don't see that scene working with Ernie.

[@MattDeMille]

What's REALLY scary . . . this movie is more real than people would ever suspect. Replace Evo Shandor with Alisteir Crowley and New York for Pasadena. Devil's Gate. I was the last student of the man who designed Gozer's Temple at graduate school. This is all based on real Hellywood lore.

[@chs75]

Go on...

[@MattDeMille]

​@@chs75 I got my masters in production design at the AFI in 2010. John DeCruir was amongst my many mentors (I can talk about many, many movies on a deep level). Also, being "deMille" in Hellywood opened doors. Add to that being a Mason and through my lifetime I've studied the occult deeply. That said, when I see this movie . . . . More people now know about Jack Parsons and JPL. But the natives in Pasadena warned not to damn the Devil's dike/Gate. It's a portal zone. Dan Ayrkoyd (another Mason), who is real-life is very steeped in supernatural lore, wrote this movie. He knows his stuff; Masonic Alisteir Crowley's Scarlet Woman is Dana Barrett. The temple has the Two Towers (Solomon's Temple). Gozer's portal is the Illuminated Pyramid (Pyre-mind). It's all right out of the rituals. Going deeper: Aykroyd wrote this script at Martha's Vineyard during the summer of 1983. At the same time, not far away, the infamous Montauk Project was going down, which is now popularized as "Stranger Things". Ayrkoyd basically got the particle-physics correct . . . the MIE (Military Industrial-Entertainment) Complex has been working with this stuff for a long time. Consider Jack Parsons and L Ron Hubbard using Crowley's "Babylon Working" ritual back in the day. It's all connected. Both Montauk AND Pasadena are portal zones. In Aykroyd's original sequel script from the '80s, there was/is a tunnel from Long Island to the Fairy Land in England . . . and it goes deeper from there. It's all about interdimensionality and Consciousness. Hellywood has known this for a century. I've been deeply involved with many projects. Hope you found this interesting. PS: Why would I tell this? Quite simple: My fiance worked for Disney and was sucked into the sex-cults and I want to see all of Hellywood exposed and brought to Balance.

This is such a funny movie. If you didnt notice Sigourney Weaver played the female posessed by zool the ghost dog in her fridge. She was in the 1st few Alien movies and the Avatar movie. This is probably one of the few roles ive seen her play the sexy female instead of the power house badass. This man Rick Moranis never ceases to be a funny goofball in his comedic roles. He also was in Honey I shrunk the kids. Thats another movie youd probably have fun with now but still get a little spooked at points. I dont know if you noticed but you predicted the crop top line coming. You had mentioned gozer appearing in one and then moments later they made a statement to aim for the crop top. Your dog is soo cute. He even made the cutest concerned look when they said spooksville. He understands a command to speak which is always a fun one too. My family has a big dog. Its a german shepard and samoyed mix. Its practically like walking a small and kind polar bear during the winter lol. What breed is yours?

[@SpockvsEgon]

Surprisingly, the cartoon explained why Slimer became the Ghostbusters' pet. The episode was called "Citizen Ghost" by J. Michael Straczynski and picked up right after the movie ended. It also explains how the team got multi-colored flight suits. However, nothing on earth or heaven could explain Egon's hair.

[@beetleb.1418]

"She'da got me! "She looks like new money!" ALL OF THAT! Sigourney Weaver is ALWAYS BAE. AND GOALS. Even as the damsel in distress, she pretty much holds it together--doesn't lose her ish, and flail and scream, then break her high heel and twist her ankle while running. GOALS! After Alien, I'm pretty sure Ghostbusters casting people got her because they DIDN'T want that trope. They wanted a damsel who was beautiful AND strong. Dana was pretty level-headed even when she was scared. Except for going back to her apartment after the eggs and growling fridge. But then ... Manhattan penthouse ... it'd take more than a haunting for me to give that up if I was paying for it. ESPECIALLY if it was RENT CONTROLLED. Though, yeah, that second time when Zuul dragged her into the kitchen, I'd have been gone FOREVER. Wouldn't have even stayed to sublet that place (not trying to get someone else's family eaten either, lol). I'd have moved to Tasmania or something, and changed my name. But then, that second time Zuul appeared ... it was TOO LATE....! IT WAS IN THE KITCHEN AND THE CHAIR! 😀 I wonder what the noise was that scared you as kid--if it was the librarian screaming or the roar of the ghost that scared her. Also, can confirm: The NY Public Library, the main branch in Manhattan, is usually that busy. It's a beautiful, but INTIMIDATING place. The puppies were so over your reacting and reviewing. They napped through 95% of the movie 😆 I was a fan of the cartoon(s) as well. In the film, I don't think Slimer was a BAD guy, just a hungry, dead one. And he was eating food not people, so ... he's alright. Wouldn't want him running up MY grocery bill, but hey, we've all had the munchies and ate up food that wasn't ours. I can't be too mad. LOVED THIS

[@BigGator5]

"Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES!" This movie is very conservative if you think about it: Three scientists are CANCELLED by the head of a very liberal college for their beliefs and ideas. Like any good capitalists, they then go into business to sell their services and franchise rights. They also work with local law enforcement in some extreme cases. When they become successful, an unelected federal bureaucrat from the EPA comes to attack and shuts down their business. The "Gatekeeper" is a woman and the "Keymaster" is a man. A local elected public official, hoping to serve the people who elected him into office, sides with the scientist businessmen and kicks the evil federal agent to the curb. The scientists do battle with a "pro-choice" pagan deity that tramples a "pro-life" Catholic Church. In the end, our hero scientists banish the evil pagan deity and the man gets his girl. Thank you for coming to my TEDx talk. Fun Fact: When Louis Tully (Rick Moranis) mingles with his party guests (commenting on the price of the salmon, and so on), the scene is one continuous shot, and almost entirely improvised (as with most of the best lines). Zuul's Trick Fact: Sigourney Weaver floating is an actual physical effect. The actress was put in a full body cast and attached to a post hidden in the curtains. According to the DVD commentary, the effect came from Ivan Reitman's Broadway experience. Science Guy Fact: When interviewing the librarian (Alice Drummond), Dr. Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) asks her if she is currently menstruating. In parapsychology, there is some correlation between menstrual cycles and latent telekinetic powers. From a psychological standpoint, she may have been going through menopause, which in very rare cases can cause psychotic breaks or blackouts. Peter was trying to determine if she might have actually caused the disturbance herself, either physically or through psychic powers.

I didn't get a chance to see the whole movie until it was the ABC movie of the week back in 1988. Loved the Real Ghostbusters cartoon and toys. My 2and favorite franchise after TMNT.

Hey JL, Blank, and co-pilots! If you love Ray Parker Jr's Ghostbusters song like I do, you might like a play on that song called BUSTIN by Neil Cicierega 😁 it's a catchy song -- youtube it 😉🙃

[@thejamppa]

J! You make these films so much fun. I think you would make hilarious 30 mins just watching paint dry. But great way to start 2023. Ghostbusters 2 is really good. Ghostbusters 2016 is like a bad spoof of franchise... then we have Ghostbusters: Afterlife, dang that film makes me cry every time Nostalgy done right!

[@chrisbell9075]

Favorite Quote of the Week: JL, confusion written all over his face: "How you a bad guy if you made out of marshmallows??" I used to work at a maximum security prison for 10 years.. Trust me There are plenty of bad guys made entirely out of marshmallows..🤣🤣😅

From 12:10 to 12:35, I was bawling...! " "There would've been a 3rd" 🤣 this is one of the reasons why I switched my workouts from late evening to early morning...

The *proper* Ghostbusters series is; GB ‘84 (this film) GB2 Ghostbusters the game (Xbox 360/PS4) Ghostbusters Afterlife The 2016 reboot is generally panned not because it’s an all female recast, but because it relies too heavily on slapstick, pratfalls, shouting, and physical/toilet humor, and that’s not the Ghostbusters formula The game was considered the “unofficial” third movie, up until the release of Afterlife, and was actually written by Ackroyd and Ramis, and used some plot lines they had in the original ‘84 movie draft scripts kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4SWgqWhm5yKlck Afterlife is a true love letter to the fans, and especially for those of us who saw the original in theaters and grew up with the franchise, if you don’t shed a tear at the end (no spoilers) you’re probably not human.

[@Shlankyman545]

Let’s GOOOOOO. Saturday and Ghostbusters!!

[@davidbecker2536]

You will love this one I remember seeing this in the theater what a great time that was. I look forward to seeing a lot of such ups. 🤣

[@janabraam7963]

"They're trying to turn New York into Detroit, ain't they?" LOL! That was funny! I want a s'more right now for some reason. This was written by Dan Ackroyd (Ray) & Harold Ramis (Egon). Great reaction!

Congrats on reaching 25K subscribers! This channel is awesome, my absolute favorite! And the Murder Whistle continues to slay me with every "shuddup!" Glad you're excited for the new year. I hope to see you at 100K subscribers (at least) by year's end!

Fun fact: This is not the first thing to use the name Ghostbusters. There was an old B&W TV show called The Ghost Busters. They didn't actually have the rights to use the name until right before it came out. That's why there were 2 cartoons. One based on the old show came first, then this one came after. Which is why they called it The Real Ghostbusters.

[@morganspider-manmarvelfan6110]

I prefer The Real Ghostbusters cartoon.

[@KanWoo76]

Saw this opening weekend and 😆😂🤣 I have to admit, when that ghost snapped in the "get her" scene, I got so scared I didn't jump or scream. . .my stomach got real hot and sat there silent for probably five minutes!

[@lornabaister8451]

Love Ghostbusters, as a kid I had Ghostbusters pyjamas,lol Hope you watch Ghostbusters two, Slimer gives Lewis a ride in that one, On a bus no less,lol

[@handsomestik]

I know you guys in Hollywood tried.......it won't work. This was a shot in the dark and cancel culture and PC stuff won't allow this humor to be used again.

[@DjOdyssey1971]

I get such a kick out of those jump scares of yours.. Damn 🤣🤣 Wish i could do a live reaction of Night Of The Living Dead with you 😂😂

[@mrgone19871]

You gotta do the Critters movie series next since you did Gremlins 1 and 2 and you seem to be doing alot of great 80's stuff. Love the vids by the way. This is one of my favorites (so far...). Your reaction to Dan Ackroyds ghost BJ Dream was priceless.

[@danlincoln8987]

Still waiting for Over The Top 1987 You have to throw another Sylvester Stallone movie other than rocky and Rambo, Hope you do it it would be awesome if you did, I've been ride or die since day one

A couple fun facts about the casting of this movie. They wrote Venkman for John Belushi and he was all signed up. Unfortunately, his untimely death ended that idea. But then we got Murray. They originally wanted to cast Daryl Hannah as Dana but she turned it down to do Splash. Sigourney Weaver came to the audition and blew them away with her dog imitations. They also wanted John Candy for Louis but he was actively filming 3 movies at the time and be couldn't fit it into his schedule. He was the one to recommend Rick Moranis as the two were good friends. John Candy made an appearance in the Ghostbusters music video. Lastly, the part of Winston was supposed to go to Eddie Murphy but he turned it down to do a little movie called Beverly Hills Cop. And we know what that did for him.

[@MichaelJohnson-dt5zr]

No lies, that Echto Cooler Hi-C was the shit!!😁👍

[@forty434]

rick moranis is a good dude check that LITTLE GIANTS/al bundy and rick moranis out if ever you get a chance or take em back wednesdays

[@BeboRulz]

Haley Berry in John Wick 3 is sooooo badass I can't take it! Oh and I know my ass would be jumpin all the time with headphones on too. I always feel bad and giggle when you jump. I can't help it you're too adorable when it happens 🥰

[@TheGuyderman]

I love in the background the Blonde Lady with the pink Dress that just jumps out of the window when the Terror Dog jumps through the door at Lewis' party.

[@onisahman]

Great classic. If you haven't done it already, how about watching the movie Twister, with Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt? It's a movie about stormchasers trying to get a device into a tornado, mainly a human trying to understand nature story. Although I should warn you, the steak scene well make you hungry.

[@karenlackner192]

Dude! Who you gonna call!?! 📞 ☎️ I was 22 when this hit the big screen!!!! Such a great classic!

[@saku0207]

Dude, your dog is the best 😂

[@buelabuela6108]

Yes! Love this one! My daughter's first Halloween costume was Slimer.

[@jamesoblivion]

I know, too many comments, but...that's Casey Kasem's wife, that Lewis dances with at the party. Hubba hubba.

[@charlesbarnes6912]

Supposedly the proton pack backpacks weighed almost 30lbs

[@chrisellis4400]

Venkman was my favourite character growing up because he was the funniest. He was so cynical and wasn't even trying to advance science or knowledge, he just wanted to get laid and make a quick buck. Yet later in life I've come to hate Jordan Peterson, who is Venkman persona grata.

[@exile220ify]

One movie Bill Murray wasn't a jerk in was Zombieland. In fact he was pretty cool :)

[@iconpoet]

It's funny to me how the EPA guy is the villain in this movie, but if someone was in my neighborhood with unlicensed nuclear equipment and untested technology, I'd definitely want to know WTF was going on
