The 2009 Ghostbusters video game was the true conclusion to the franchise for me. It wrapped up everything nicely and used elements from various scripts of Ghostbusters 3.

The 2009 video game was also the last time that all four of the main Ghostbuster actors were involved, and since one of them has since died that'll never happen again, which in my eyes makes it the end of the franchise.

Ernie Hudson has one of the best lines in the film "I'm Winston Zeddmore, Your Honor. I've only been with the company for a couple of weeks, but these things are real. Since I joined these men, I've seen shit that'll turn you white!"

[@HarryBuddhaPalm]

"That's a big Twinkie" is another. He's got quite a few good lines.

[@hatandbeardmedia5925]

"If there's a steady paycheck in it, I'll believe anything you say." "Ray, when not someone asks if you are a god, you say YES!" "I have seen shit that'll turn you white!" "That's a big Twinkie." "I love this town!" Winston may have gotten less screentime than the other three, but out of all the busters he has the probably the biggest percentage of absolutely classic lines and moments relative to the amount of screentime. Ernie Hudson was right to be pissed off about Winston getting heavily downgraded, but he steals the scene just about every time he's on screen.

[@lanceturley7745]

If we're talking great Winston lines, I've always been partial to the scene where they're all in prison, ranting about Sumerian doomsday cults and interdimensional gods, and Winston says "No offense, guys, but I gotta get my own lawyer."

Parts of that game were adapted from the story that would have been Ghostbusters 3. I think they'll probably talk about it in more depth when they talk about the sequel. They'd be skipping a lot of stuff to jump right into "Ghostbusters 3" before talking about Ghostbusters 2.

Also, as someone who was a kid in the 80's mental health was looked at very differently. If you went to a psychiatrist you were considered to be a crazy person and people just thought you were nuts and not safe to be around. So people who went to therapy or took psych drugs for mental conditions hid it from everyone as they didn't want to be thought of as a crazy person. This is a stigma that still exists especially in older people who have never gone to therapy.

[@mahna_mahna]

@@dantheanimator5072 You've got it all backwards. Twinkies has been nothing but a march TOWARDS preservatives and less normal ingredients. When they started out in the 30s, they were full of things like butter and milk. The _cream_ filling was actual (banana) _cream._ They had to get rid of those and replace them with inferior replacements to make them longer lasting. Plus they had to dump in a ton of other ingredients you would only use if you had to make something last. In the 80s, they switched to HFCS. Now I think the difference in flavor between cane sugar and HFCS is overblown, but it wasn't a change to make them healthier. They've continued this way ever since. There was no change in recipe to remove preservatives or make them "healthier". In fact, the Twinkies of today have the longest shelf life they've ever had: 45 days.

Originally the moment Ray gets pleasured by the ghost came from a sequence where he and Winston went to "Fort Detmerring", and Ray falls asleep wearing a military jacket he found. He wakes up and we see the clip that was used in the montage. I believe the subtext was that the ghost mistook Ray for her lover because he was dressed in the old military clothing.

@@Yoshimitsu4prez Tbf there were legitimate reasons to hate that movie outside of being an adult virgin. The humour was completely misfired - Ghostbusters was funny because of how underplayed the reactions were. The juxtaposition between supernatural horror and New York nonchalance was funny even if you had no context for the kind of place New York is. Four leads tumbling over each other for the most amount of improv misses the mark by several miles. The original leads were reserved schlubs who couldn’t believe the week they were having. The remake’s leads were auditioning for Nickelodeon. Sure, this sequel is cynical and calculated, but people deserve a palette cleanser.

The two men knew each other and Hudson, who was stuck in the hell of episodic TV at the time, had made it known that, if Reitman ever needed a favor, that he'd make time to help out.

I think it's a really good song that kind of captures this 50s-60s jazz sound, and I'm kind of disappointed that it doesn't get as much recognition as the theme (although I still LOVE the theme song).

[@avahartwell3985]

Buckaroo Banzai is a classic, though. I'd love to see a Caravan of Garbage on it :)

[@Football__Junkie]

My favorite line is when Jeanine asks Egon if he has any hobbies and he raises up and replies: “I collect molds, spores, and fungus.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ManPac1]

You guys should cover the Ghostbusters video game. I'm pretty sure it's canon and it does a lot more of the dimentional adventure stuff that the original script touches. An interesting piece of information about the Ghostbusters game is the older generation ports for it actually played out quite differently with a cartoonish style, some boss fights and set pieces being completely different, and the whole thing being a little more PG with less scary stuff. You fight a possessed slime T-rex skeleton in a museum in that one which is pretty sick. I believe I heard somewhere that Dan Aykroyd prefers that version to the scarier but intended new-gen version. The remastered new-gen version is available on Steam. Fun game with solid mechanics, a few horribly difficult sections, and sadly no possessed slime T-rex :(

I suggest all the Dragonheart movies for this series watch them all, rank your favorite Dragons and protagonist to get dragonhearts merged with theirs. Rank the villains, the CGI. The use of the Old Code.

I think the best episodes you guys make is like this, one you love, but can see it's aged like everything. Good movie, great video, the best channel on KZbin.

[@WesleyB-Rook]

I’m someone who busts ghosts for a living and I’d just like to say that we who do the busting of ghosts would like more accurate portrayals in movies. We are not as funny as bill Murray nor do we have laser guns, nor are we competent in anyways. Typically we are just 37 year old men pretending to be high schoolers who have a part time job as a manager at Subway and a tv show on either A&E or the Syfy channel

[@Ironcabbit]

Yeah, but do you get rid of them so much as just pointing out they’re there?

[@eriksandberg4440]

I just love that Dan Aykroyd is wearing an admiral's jacket with big epaulettes during the ghost BJ scene for no explained reason. I have heard that there is a deleted scene explaining it, but I like it without context.

[@ScottLahteine]

As an experiment I once did a mashup of "Ghostbusters" and "I Want a New Drug" which I called "I Want a New Ghost." It worked pretty well as a mashup, actually.

[@LeekClock]

I didn't know I needed a Ghostbusters musical until now.

[@marcusthompson313]

Hey, I just re-watched the Monster Squad, and I realized I knew every word. Pretty damn good self aware kids movie from the 80s. I can't watch Stranger Things because I'm highly allergic to forced nostalgia, but I picture it as a hipster version of the Monster Squad. Yall should Caravan that Garbage someday.

[@Flint-Dibble-the-Don]

Stranger things stink, the kids were annoying as hell, and the acting was so over the top. I never got the hype for that show and I’m a huge Stephen king fan...which the show was aping hardcore.

[@AJeziorski1967]

I blame William Atherton's portrayal of Walter Peck in this movie and 'Dick' Thornburg in 'Die Hard' for the fact that so many Americans hate environmentalists and journalists, thus making a hefty contribution to the past few year's political chaos in the USA. Not even joking.

17:40 - I vividly remember also being absolutely disappointed to the core when I tried my first Twinkie and it tasted horrible. Was so hyped to try them after watching Zombieland but they really are awful.

[@crazyduplicate]

Literally the worse fucking taste.

[@maux7767]

You know weirdly enough, I also reacted that way to Twinkies. Because they didn't used to be ubiquitous in the United States either, I grew up in the South and we were dominated by Little Debbie, which is like one of their competitors, so we didn't really get Twinkies when I was a kid. So I was an adult by the time I tried a Twinkie and I also hated it lol. BUT, I do have to say, Twinkies are kind of an acquired taste and I bizarrely was like, "I'm gonna give that another shot," and after the third one I not only liked it, but actually found myself craving it lol And I think it's because they don't necessarily taste the way you'd think they would based on how they look and so that initial tasting is just completely incongruent and you reject it. But you go into it prepared and your taste zeroes in on the good parts and suddenly you actually find yourself craving them. Hence their becoming a cultural touchstone and appearing in a lot of movies lol

[@SuperNuclearUnicorn]

Making a tax time joke as if more than 5% of your audience is above 18 lads. Personally I recommend making jokes about asking girls to a dance. Idk, I'm Aussie so I don't know what Americans do

[@mahna_mahna]

What? I scoped this channel as being pretty dad-heavy. Possibly heavy dad-heavy as well. They cover a ton of movies and comic books from the 70s-90s. As a 46 year old American man, I find their content to fit pretty well with my demographic. The joke is even funnier because it's not like more than 5% of their audience is Australian. Tax time for Americans isn't for 7 months or so.

[@ritchiekirkum2311]

If you want more behind the scenes than the movies that made us, the movie commentary on the Blu-ray is tremendous. It’s Harold Ramis, Ivan Reitman and I think one of the producers. It’s fucking great

that POLICE ACADEMY 6 joke in the beginning hits differently right after finishing Patrick Willems' POLICE ACADEMY video

[@christphern]

My head canon with the Thorazine is that it was Dana’s. It’s often prescribed as an anti-psychotic, and it’s possible that in the 3 days it took her to go to the Ghostbusters, she might have initially assumed she’d had a psychotic break. Her mother also asks her about it (seemingly) on the phone later. “No, uh, just the one time.” Also, having met Atherton, he’s one of the nicest celebs I’ve encountered. He was super gracious and embracing of Ghostbusters fans.

[@THEAdmiralXizor]

The shot of Ray Parker Jr. snap walking down the street with the Ghostbusters is the most 80s music video thing...
