GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE Movie Review **SPOILER ALERT**

[@maryblasingame4083]

To quote my letterboxed review, “all because they wouldn’t let that little lesbian bust ghosts”

[@benfisher1376]

Why do they keep flogging these sequels and remakes of old franchises? Hollywood is so lazy and bereft of new ideas.

[@JoeDWhiteTalks]

OMG I thought I was the only one sensing lesbian vibes from Pheobe and the ghost.

[@DestinyPifer]

I sensed it too and so did my teenage son who was whispering no please no because he has a massive crush on McKenna Grace. He got her autograph a few months ago and I swear he kisses it every night. lol

[@leeshaolivier9298]

It was absolutely there!

[@JoeDWhiteTalks]

@@DestinyPifer that is adorable.

[@kharikhy-ree2242]

I thought the little lesbian girl killing herself to hang out with her ghost boo was a bit much.

[@sarahwhite7098]

What you have to believe is that Nadeem's grandmother took her role of 'firemaster' sooooo seriously that she decked a whole room out in brass but not so much that she'd tell any of her ancestors what she is, what they are, and what they need to do.

[@aly4920]

Wait..a franchise sequel that's good?! Probably will check it out. Thank you for your review, brought a smile to my face.

[@prberg2]

Enjoyed your review. The movie mostly didn't work for me. I wanted to like it. Thanks for the great reviews!

[@LynneJordan11]

I saw this at a an early screening last night. After all the most excellent films of the award season (Oppenheimer, Killers of the Flower Moon, Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest and Dune) I needed a laugh. And our screening was a fun filled love fest. So many cosplay ghostbusters turned up with amazing gear. Stuff was lit up, automated and realistic! Who knew? 🤷🏾‍♀️ Wish I could show you the photos! Glad you guys liked this movie. I also am over that character (Atherton) hating on the GB! I thought Phoebe & Melody were gonna get it on! 😂 I Remember Phoebe asked Dan Ayckroyd if he wondered what it was like to be a ghost. Maybe that’s why she became a ghost for a bit but we never knew if she liked the experience though it did turn out badly. I kept thinking: “this is what happens to lonely teenaged girls.” That podcast bit was hilarious to me also. And I loved the age-weariness of bill Murray and the dialogue between Ayckroyd & Ernie about chilling out in their golden years then rejoicing about ghost busting later. basically the plot was so full Of holes like Swiss cheese. My question is: Why were their (Ayckroyd, Murray & Ernie) uniforms so dirty? 😂 The entire audience was so happy after the screening ! Needed that! Thanks guys! 🎞️🍿❤️

The original was popular because it was funny and starred three of the most popular comedians there were at the time. People went to see it not because it was a ghost movie, but that it had three of the biggest star comedians of the time in it. Hudson even was perfectly cast as Mr. Blue collar there for a paycheck. The characters all had a hook. The nerdy one, the too cool one, etc.. These new ones just do not have that hook. The new younger GB's are just too nice and earnest and are not comedians. Paul Rudd the exception but there is nothing except nostalgia where you say, I want to see these new guys do Ghostbusters!

[@jfray2k2]

Bustin makes me feel good!

[@blackbeardbarkbark]

Bustin'

[@magical2022]

​@@blackbeardbarkbarkI'm sorry but is that a dirty sexual guy joke?or do I just have a dirty mind Lol 🤭

[@shamecawilliams8848]

I ❤ nostalgia and this movie was everything to me!⭐️👏🏾

[@jasonsandoval680]

I ain’t afraid of no ghosts

[@Momoalex]

😂

[@JohnNoir8911]

Except the one under my bed

[@lkf8799]

Sounds fun. I'll take my nieces to the drive-ins for it 😉 This is the second video where your clothes match ❤ It's cute 😊

[@HarleyLuna31]

That orb looks like the one chris hemsworth was holding in cabin in woods,with the inscriptions and everything😅

[@KJ-tz7vc]

You said it - the new Ghostbusters crew lacks the humor of the originals, which feels like a major oversight.

[@adika4707]

Nick u look stunning and chic, Joseph u too

[@BradleyRegister]

I hated the spirit separation part too, but I think the whole thing IS, he can only control ghosts, but an actual person needs to say the words, so somehow her doing what she did checked both boxes… that’s how I understood it anyway.

[@imranbecks]

Totally enjoyed it. Long time Ghostbusters fan and watched it with an open mind despite the negative reviews.

[@entherium54]

Excuse you.. Ghostbusters 2 is a classic

[@wanya_telborn]

Meeehhh to each their own

[@Ghosthead83]

Agreed.

[@Anutushara]

There was a video game based on a script from Ackroyd that he was pushing for a part 3. GBs were set up and financed by the city. Your character was a new recruit. Your character played along with other new GBs and along side the OG ones throughout the game as needed to move the story forward. The Story connected part 2 with part 1 and explained why all the ghosts which That element can be seen included in the All female ghostbusters movie. Maybe Akroyd helped with that script.

[@justaguy7230]

It’s a great game. Loved it.

[@dominiqueblock7143]

Dan and Harold both wrote the script for the game, calling it Ghostbusters 3.

[@thenemosix6835]

The soul separation was necessary because the living needed to speak the incantation. You can see her soulless body speaking the words while she’s possessed. That’s we have the scene in the library with the recording and the possessor ghost trying to steal the recording. It was an okay movie and they tried to make it all make sense. Some worked and some didn’t.

[@laceyace181]

Had to pause once I heard, "so the basic story is..." So I don't spoil it for myself - going to watch this movie with the family before listening to your review, but I had to know your first impressions & if you guys liked it! Looking forward to coming back here in a couple weeks to get your full thoughts!

[@evelbat]

Frozen Empire is a good and fun movie, just wish they would give the original GB more screen time in uniform and more time fighting with the proton packs along with the new GB's. In both movies they only get 10 minutes in uniform. ' Please do one more movie with the original guys and let them fight more in uniform. That would be great and the fans would love it. Also it will give us a trilogy with the original Ghostbusters along with the new GB's.

[@BluePrada]

I got blue balled twice by Sony Pictures almost getting a position there so every time a movie of theirs flops I celebrate 😇😅😅😅😂

[@M_Fergs]

I love your reviews.

[@TechnicJunglist]

Back in the day my cousin had the Ghostbusters fire station and I was totally jealous. 😂 glad to hear it was better than the last one even tho they didn't have our beloved Siggy in it. Thanks guys

[@Alex-vd6ve]

GB was everything, in the 80's !

[@ianmcgeehan4627]

Wanted to like it. Really,really did. Sadly the whole family dynamic seems forced. The humor is forced. All the OG character scenes felt natural and real. But all the new technology, technobabble and new characters just did not jell. NOTE: the bad girl ghost Melody was clearly the spirit of the bad girl Snakebite annie from Doctor Sleep that Danny Torrance killed in the park, same haircut,same clothes, same attitude. So I guess the Shining and Ghostbusters are in the same Universe! That was the best new thing in the whole film.

[@bat1579]

Joseph looks better shaved💙💙

[@l.a.w3959]

Great review as always. I may actually go and see this movie.

[@sandythemaster6898]

When Melody appeared, I thought Phoebee would try to find her ''object'' and her story to try to let her move on to see her passed family - they could have more scenes together and build a bigger bond/love story between them. Phoebee could have realized that Melody caused the fire that killed her family and also realized she was helping horny ice king and then feel betrayed - instead of Phoebee becoming a ghost out of nowhere. The ending could have been the same - Melody finding solace by saving everyone and moving on. But tbh, I would have just removed Melody altogether because I wanted more Phoebee, Podcast and Dan Aykroyd dynamic trio - and also Kumail because he looked like he was so happy to be there!

[@kellykelley2649]

..."Well, that.. un huh.." lol *you two look wonderful - Joseph - you look 10 years younger clean shaven

[@brackettw]

Been waiting for this to drop, I NEED THE SPOILERS!! Lol

[@apathy2454]

Love the clean shave Joseph

[@hungtotheover3385]

Hell yeah. Staying up late for this one! 😴 ☕️

[@thomaspetersen4977]

Can't wait to see it ❤❤ LOVE that Bananarama's 'Cruel Summer' track is in it ❤❤

[@bradhudgins6593]

I actually really like Ghostbusters II. It's my favorite.

[@billcorn2]

Ok, Joseph, I just saw the movie. Gorock needed Phoebe to separate her spirit from her body, but still be connected to her body. So, as ghost Phoebe was speaking, her living body was speaking as well. It was the words coming from her living body that opened the brass ball, not her ghost words.

[@gamerdrops]

REMEMBER GHOSTBUSTERS? REMEMBER PROTON PACKS? REMEMBER BILL MURRAY? REMEMBER THE STATION WAGON?

[@gamerdrops]

that's from the pitch deck

[@oct2811]

These two are Delightful

[@RichardHannay]

Highest review of the movie I’ve seen so far

[@elizabetha.188]

Mini Stay Puff Marshmallow Men remind me of Minions. Cheers!

[@keepdreamin]

What do you mean when Bill Murray is only in 2 scenes? Doesn't Bill help fight the ice baddie at the end?

[@imranbecks]

Yeah that one at the end when he arrives at the firehouse is his second scene 😅

[@HarleyLuna31]

Omg so many releases on march 22...its there something special about that date or something???🤣😅

[@Johannym]

Did you guys get a new camera? The image is looking crisp! 👌🏽

[@fishjellyfilmreviews]

No, I think I accidentally pressed a button lol

[@leftyla]

It's been over two decades and I still can't decide if I like Paul Rudd "that way".

[@puspavelai8353]

A ghost that 'negotiates' with a murderess ghost to outwit a human, and it's unclear of the 'soul separating' part, is a sacrifice or something, for the afterlife for ghosts, is not the comedy part either I guess!

[@JohnJohn-uz8ip]

Is there any reason Weaver wasn’t involved? I didn’t watch the 2021 movie.

[@kharikhy-ree2242]

Just got back from the theaters. It wasn't bad but it wasn't super fun and funny, like the films I saw as a kid with the og cast. Overall okay Sunday matinee for me.

[@wanya_telborn]

You look very handsome Joseph ❤curls looking healthy Clean face

[@boshrek4759]

As bad as 2016 GB, after watching Afterlife and Frozen Empire I feel if I had a choice to rewatch any of the three it would be 2016.

[@jasonking184]

Melody looks like she probably died in the late 90s

[@ssme_]

- I'll pass on this because I hated the last film. - The studio will milk this franchise like they did with Jurassic Park.

[@bradhudgins6593]

The smelting the brass made no sense to me timewise, but if she was going to do it, why didn't she dip anyone else's proton pack in that brass!?! She had time. I hated that little girl.

[@MIZZ.BLKNRD]

I was not expecting a good review of this movie from y’all so that’s a pleasant surprise😆. I still have no interest in seeing this though.

[@macebluemoon369]

This film sounds like a let down. When it comes to Ghostbusters I only like the first movie and the late 80s early 90s animated series.

[@the44118]

Did you say the 1st Ghostbusters wasn't a perfect film??? UNSUBSCRIBE!!

[@shawnlittle3091]

I KNOW WTF?!?!?!?!?😡🙄

[@DestinyPifer]

I'm taking my son and brother to see this Friday night. I love the Ghostbuster films except for the god-awful one with Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wigg. I like to pretend like that one doesn't exist.

[@Ray03595]

This movie comes across as soulless and a movie I’ll try to stream for free but will give up literally 30 seconds in like I did with Aquaman 2. I just can’t stomach big budget mediocre movies anymore

[@Cinderella718]

This was okay 😞.

[@roccocasazza4145]

This was a 1/5 for me. I disliked or hated most of the decisions they made in this. Other than some of the chemistry between actors, this was 100% dogshit. The trailer made it seem like NYC would be frozen for more of the movie. It was so brief. And the final showdown just… in the garage lol.

[@77jamess]

Ghostbusters 2 isn’t very good? I thought it was an amazing follow up. I honestly have no idea why people don’t like it. Clever jokes, a lot of them are more subtle and require a bit more thought: Hi Egon, how’s school? I bet those science chicks really dig that big cranium of yours? “ I think they’re more interested in my epididymis”. Some really intense scenes too, like Ray and Egon getting locked in the room of photographs of Vigo, which then spontaneously combust. The gnarly heads on pikes in the sewer/abandoned subway was absolutely terrifying when I was a kid, and those heads still to this day look like something ripped right out of a horror film. And Vigo in my opinion is just way more threatening than Gozer. He’s an evil warlord/warlock from the 1600’s who has come back to rule the earth, and to do this, he’s going to posses a baby! Really dark themes. What is it about 2 that you don’t like exactly?

[@shantoreywilkins651]

[@yasinradee]

I fell asleep. I was totally bored.

[@jentalksbooks]

👍👍👍👻👻👻

[@commandZee]

The trailer reeks of cynicism; just another sequel money grab.
