[@cjmacq-vg8um]

erica, our young host, is THE MOST genuine and sincere "reactor" i've ever watched. she's not only concerned about the character having to return to the store, she also wonders about what she BOUGHT at the store in the first place. you can't get anymore sincere than that. she also comes up with some of the most interseting commentary and profound observations. and she has the most wonderful deadpan delivery that's most endearing. i can't tell if its an act or if its real. in any case, she's got me sold. she's my new favorite reactor on youtube. anyway, that's my story and i'm sticking to it.

When I was a kid in the 80s, there was a Ghostbusters cartoon. The slime guy is "Slimer", and it was pretty much part of the crew. Good times.

[@thedragon133]

Slimer kinda took over in the last season(s?) of the cartoon, making it "Slimer and The Real Ghostbusters". As you might guess, it was not as good as before. Before, they had legit scary episodes like the one with the Man in the Closet and straight up Cthulhu.

[@neural_jam]

Yep, though in this movie his name is "Onionhead" in the credits! At some point they use the term 'slimer' to refer to a type of ghost rather than a specific one.

Another absolute genius 80s comedy is Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It looks like you're just getting started at this and I'm impressed with your choices so far. Lots of good old comedy classics.

You are exactly the kind of person I'd like to watch new or re-watch old movies with. You listen to things that should be listened to, get situations and references and react to scenes like a human being would 😁... I've seen so many people react the opposite (=not listening, understanding, reacting like a human) and it's totally refreshing to see you... thank you for being you. You deserve your subscriber numbers blowing up.

I stumbled across your channel because you reviewed my favorite movie of all time Jaws! I found myself not really paying attention to the movie clips but your quirky and genuine reactions. So far this is the 2nd review I’m watching and I have to say I loved it as well. I will tell my friends to follow and like to help you build your channel. There are so many of these types of movie review channels but yours stands out in a crowded field. Keep it genuine and you will be wildly successful!! Best of luck!!!

[@GRHrivnak]

At 10:40 the actress playing the housekeeper was informed of the pyro rigged up to the cart but not how much. That was her genuine reaction to all the explosions. In the 2009 Ghostbusters video game, the GBs return to the Sedgwick hotel and they talk about how she got a restraining order against them.

[@Chaos_IsMyGift]

Aww, it was fun watching this with you! 20 minutes was way too short though and while your channel is still young, I am looking forward to you having a patreon with full-length reactions!

[@TheseDarkWoods]

You’ve chosen some great films so far, and I’m hooked. Since you obviously dug ”Shaun of the dead” I sincerely recommend ”Hot Fuzz”. The third installment of the Cornetto trilogy (”The World’s End”) is also a good one, as is another Pegg/Frost collaboration called ”Paul”, which is a truly heartfelt love letter to 80’s Spielberg like ”E.T.” and ”Close encounters”. You’re funny, charming and lovely, and you’re a Smiths fan. I’m in! 💙🥂

[@eschiedler]

One thing about watching movies in the 80's, is that most of the time you could go to one-room classic theaters that had an opera-house style look and feel. The entire process including the ticket booth and lobby and trailers and matinee added to the vibe. There were very few ways for the movie to be spoiled as well, mostly you knew a vague rumor about it or who was the main star. Then you got hit with an original experience. The movie was much more than a product to click and consume.

[@marksylvester9553]

When this movie came out, we had a theater like that in my town. All movie showing were events, and the atmosphere of the theater was as much a part of the experience as the movie. Nothing like that now with the multiplexes. I miss it.

[@eschiedler]

@@marksylvester9553 Fantastic. Glad you had such a great time.

Oh, Canada (😉) has its mark on this movie as well. Dan Aykroyd is from Ottowa, Rick Moranis is from Toronto, producer Joe Medjuck is from New Brunswick, director Ivan Reitman was born in Slovokia, but grew up in Toronto, and Harold Ramis was born in Chicago, but worked on SCTV in Canada.

[@rainbowpegacornstudios]

One of my favorite funny moments in this movie: Egon: Well, let’s say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. According to this morning’s sample, it would be a Twinkie…35 feet long weighing approximately 600 pounds. Ray coughs in surprise- Winston: That's a BIG Twinkie 😆😆🤣🤣

The library scene was filmed at the New York Public Library on 5th Avenue. Rare books and special research rooms are kept there. The university is filmed on the Columbia University campus. The refurbished firehouse is a real working firehouse located in Tribeca in lower Manhattan. The scene at the Tavern on the Green restaurant is a joke about New Yorkers ignoring weird activity and continuing about their business. The restaurant is on Central Park West near 65th Street.

Hi Erica! I've watched your reactions to Jaws and Ghostbusters twice now and have subscribed. Didn't watch your first video as I've never seen the movie. I like the way you present your reactions and am looking forward to your future videos. Of course I have a long list of movies I hope you will watch from before you were born but won't bombard you with them just yet... Yes, I'm wonderful. I don't follow many who do reactions as so many are just completely over the top. Popcorn in bed, Jen Murray, (both Canadians) Bunnytailsreacts (American), Centane (Scandanavia) and MovieJoob (Australian) are the five I mostly watch. They are empathetic, thoughtful and at times very funny. You fit right in there. Good luck with your channel! xx

[@gumbomudderx7503]

I was like 6 or 7 the first time I ever saw this movie. I remember because it was the first movie my family ever watched on VHS. It was probably 1986 and not many people had a VCR then, so when you rented a movie you could rent a VCR to hook to your tv to watch it 😂

[@BDUBZ49]

"THey have merch." You wouldn't believe how much merch they had. T shirts, lunch boxes.... SOOOOO many people were Ghostbusters for Halloween that year. The song and the music video were all over the radio and MTV. Movie theme songs were almost a requirement in the 80s. That seems to have gone away since the late 90s. Ghostbusters is not a cult classic... it was a HUGE blockbuster hit right out of the gate.

I really like your reactions. Very nice! Ever seen The Big Lebowski? If not, that's my suggestion!

[@anthonyhaun1990]

Did Zuul pick that outfit out of her closet? - lol

[@SG-js2qn]

This movie is comedy partially based on two earlier horror films: "The Exorcist" (a classic), and "Poltergeist." If "Jaws" was the first summer blockbuster film, "The Exorcist" may have been the first blockbuster for the post-Christmas break. People were lined up around the block to see it. Other classic movies from this era you should hit - with actors from "Ghostbusters" - are "Alien," "Trading Places," and "Groundhog Day."

[@StarShipGray]

As someone who was there, Ghostbusters was huge with the kids. I won a radio station contest in 1989 when I was a kid so I got free tickets to see Ghostbusters 2 in the theater on opening day. I was a massive fan and am so happy that my little boy loves Ghostbusters as much as his dad.

[@toddjones1480]

Ghostbusters 2 came out after the cartoon had been on for years and they actually made it with kid appeal in mind. (A major reason why it's not very good...) I was 8 when I saw the original in a theater, and loved it, but I also begged to stay and finish Blade Runner in a theater when my parents wanted to walk out.

[@blackraven85_1]

You definitely don't want to eat that marshmallow goo from Stay Puff. It's radioactive and who knows what other unworldly things mixed in. There's a whole continuation of this that was a cartoon series which explains exactly what happens if you want to know. Just watch the sequel first and then the cartoon. It adds even more layers to the Ghostbusters

[@ronfehr7899]

Since the money backing their venture belonged to Ray, the guys basically had no choice but to accept the firehouse as the base for their operations. Ray had the final say, and he loved it.

[@vladyvhv9579]

Likely, Egon had the place picked out, and it's obvious that he and Peter were trying to negotiate a lower price. They knew that the firehouse would be the place, but didn't want to have Ray paying full price for it. Which, Ray sabotages with his enthusiasm.

[@vladyvhv9579]

Welcome to the club. As the dock worker says in part 2, "better late than never". And yeah, the Ghostbusters were the most popular people in the world for a while. The real world merchandising was on everything. There was even like sundaes with "slimer slime" that tasted like bubblegum, "slimer hi-C", the cartoon, all sorts of toys, the NES game, even a cereal. And of course the other movies and what they brought. And especially the song and its music video (if you haven't seen the music video check it out). Part 2 shows that the song is canon. Part 3 features one of the ghosts from the cartoon (hinting that some parts of the cartoon might be canon). Part 4 shows that the merchandising is canon. The franchise still has legions of fans, across multiple generations.

[@Shinlung66]

I love this series of movies, Wonderful reaction to an amazing classic movie!! 🙂❤

[@Harrison11106]

The original & best, still holds up IMO. The background stuff is just as fascinating. John Belushi was originally supposed to be Peter Venkman, but he ODed & died, so the part was re-written for Murray. Slimer is said to be something of an ode to the kinds of characters Belushi tended to play. Eddie Murphy was supposed to be Winston, but had scheduling conflicts (he was working on Beverly Hills Cop). John Candy was supposed to get the part that Rick Moranis wound up getting, but wanted to play the part as a Frenchman or German for some reason. If I could visit alternate Earths, I'd like to visit the one where John Belushi lived to play the role of Venkman. I can almost guarantee that the energy of the movie would be different. Slimer either wouldn't be in the movie at all or would've been re-written.

[@Theomite]

The green eating ghost is known as Slimer. He became a staple of the movies and the cartoon show _The Real Ghostbusters_ (the first season of which was actually very well-written). Zuul and Vinz Clortho were from the days of ancient Sumeria, and Vinz was likely a former human priest. So Zuul wearing colorful robes in mortal form instead of modern clothes would feel more natural to them; they were probably a dress or drapery that Zuul re-cut into robes. Zuul was also in Dana's body and felt the attraction to Peter that she did, but being an immortal from pre-Antiquity, they didn't feel inclined to be modest.

I remember watching this movie 🎥 in cinema back in 1984 and immediately loved it. My brother who watched it with his friends loved it so much that he bought a cassette tape of Ghostbusters soundtrack which included this song, songs by other artists heard in the movie and the beautiful musical instrumental arrangement scored by Elmer Bernstein. Unfortunately both the mentioned audio cassette and the video tapes that I watched on TV with my friends a year later were pirated copies as we were too young to buy the originals. The video tape was rented by one of my friends’ cousin who loved it so much that he made an illegal copy of it then in turn rented out to me. Pretty slick the cousin. However I enjoyed both experiences back in the ‘80s. Such were the good ole times😅
