Ghostbusters II Pitch Meeting

Subscribe for more Pitch Meetings: / @pitchmeetings
Ghostbusters was a massive success in 1984, but it took more than half a decade for the world to get a second one! Why? I don’t know. That information is probably available on Google. Reasons, presumably.
Ghostbusters 2 definitely raises some questions. Like did they just redo every beat of the first movie but slightly different? Is Venkman even a Ghostbuster or are we just following his love life? And most importantly, how did everyone forget that ghosts exist?!
To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Ghostbusters 2!

"People don't believe in ghosts anymore..." "A bunch of ghosts attacked the city and there was a giant Marshmallow Man!" "5 years is a long time, sir. People forget stuff." Honestly, in more recent times, this has never felt more poignant.

If Akyroid and Ramis had managed to get their original intentions for a third movie script into production, I think it was supposed to hint that Dana was actually a blood descendent of Ivo Shandor (the architect of the Gozer building), which helps explain why these malevolent paranormal entities are attracted to her.

Like the whole “aren’t they famous from the first movie” when the movie totally shows they are still famous! The opening scene has them at a birthday party. Crowds cheering for them at court. Just because a few characters don’t recognize them or don’t believe in ghosts doesn’t mean EVERYONE feels that way. Think of the world we live in.

[@GeorgeMonet]

The slime is supposed to be magical. It performs miracles. Summoning ghosts, making people angry, making people euphoric, making a toaster dance, animating the statue of liberty, defeating a wizard, changing a painting, those are all miracles. And yes the slime was both created from the emotions of the people of the city and imparts emotions to the people. This is called a feedback loop.

My brother and I wore out this VHS as kids since it was one of three tapes our grandparents owned (the other two were Shane and Old Yeller). Can still quote it by heart.

[@Openmindedmusick]

Video 6 of asking for "Who framed Roger Rabbit" as a Pitch Meeting. And we wont stop until its a Pitch. Thanks. Love you!

[@ThrillaLive]

I never realized the flying ghost that takes the baby was the guy from the museum.

[@KasumiKenshirou]

I saw the movie in theaters when I was 10 and didn't notice until it came out on DVD. But to be fair, him turning into a ghost doesn't make any sense.

[@comicfiend1988]

Watching a new pitch meeting is super easy. Barely an inconvenience 😊

[@joshbimthedoctor]

"covering the streets in slime is tight" "oooowwwhhkay"

[@jeremyf9124]

The slime is really inconsistent looking in this movie. Sometimes it looks like bright pink water, in other scenes it looks like barely pink shampoo. Even for the time they could have done better.

[@ravenebony2267]

Making your pink slime consistent is TIGHT!

[@raydunakin]

"So does the slime make people angry, or summon ghosts?" "Yes!" LOL!

[@wenchinatrenchcoat8459]

that kind of "dumb" and "dumber" voices you developed for your characters, are perfect now.

[@mattsully2238]

Busting and Pitch meetings make me feel good

[@jordanmicahcook]

You need to do Pitch Meetings for: - Titanic - Twister - The Rock (Nick Cage, Sean Connery) - As Good As It Gets - The 5th Element - Scarface - The Godfather Trilogy - Goodfellas

[@TF2CrunchyFrog]

Or the fact there was a little-known "Titanic 2", which was animated, featured talking animals, had nothing to do with the original, and was utterly bonkers. But set on a ship, at least that bit they did get right.

[@chrismurdock5287]

Just recently saw "Meet Joe Black" for the first time, would love to see a Pitch Meeting for it at some point! Great channel!

[@dustinherberman3837]

I love when pitch meeting are classic movies

[@GUNUFofficial]

I like this movie, but they shouldn't have cut the possessed rey driving scene. Also do a pitch meeting on ghostbusters the video game i know its a video game but it's my canonical ghostbusters 3

[@T_R_O_Y_McClure]

It was, not just yours, but the actual canon pt 3 according to harold and dan. Until afterlife retconned and ruined it that is.

[@4plus20isHappy]

I’ve been waiting forever for video game pitch meetings.

[@aliseylani3024]

Those 'What?'s have so much meaning in them.

[@NaginnahNibor]

love these videos. Please keep them coming. I'm wondering if you know about Reboot, the first computer animated show. It's Canadian and I'd love to see a pitch meeting for it

[@jdoggfivethousand]

Love your videos! Please do a pitch meeting for Southland Tales!!! It'll be super easy! Barely an inconvenience. I am going to comment this for as long as you make these, until you make it. I will never give up. This is my seventy-second attempt.

[@markuhler2664]

Ohhhhhhh, now I remember why I forgot about this movie.

[@klas666]

Yep, people forget!

[@hamjudo]

I don't remember why I never watched the movie. It was the right choice, whatever the reason might have been.

[@reignman30]

I didn't even know it existed so I didn't even remember it long enough to forget about it.

[@nonsequitor]

Funny seeing how the "bad" original GB movie generated one of the shortest Pitch Meetings so far because it's way better than most of the slop we're getting served atm🤦‍♂️🙌❤️

[@poppers7317]

what do you mean with '"bad"'?

[@DanielEzraMusic]

@@poppers7317 I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing

[@chrimsonphantom]

with Velma season 2 around the corner..........It shouldn't even be compare it to Ghosbusters 2.

[@elricbrat]

Love your pitch meetings. Will you also do Knives Out and Glass Onion?

[@0Ghostie0]

That painting terrified me as a child. Now it just arouses me, which I was throughly surprised to learn.

[@PompeySomerstown]

3:57 that positive energy slime sure looks like some other happy time fluid...... But how did they get so much so quickly? 😁

[@DS-tv2fi]

Life, uh, finds a way.

[@Bruh_Moment..]

​@@DS-tv2fi lots of life, full life, loads of life if you will

[@timslack7568]

youre completely forgetting a very key reason why Vigo wants to become a baby, nursing Sigourney Weaver

[@ncapone87]

That's so obvious, it never occurred to me

[@MGmirkin]

Why would Sigourney need to be nursed? She's already a fully growed adult! [/sarc]

[@jedijones]

Same reason Janosz wanted to become her husband. "My lord, we can share her teats." "So be it. Left one for you, right one for me."

[@IfUfindthisURlost]

Now the scene where she takes off her blouse makes more sense. Always thought that was a pointless perv moment.

[@RENEG4DE4NGEL]

"This painting guy seems really powerful as is, I don't know if he needs to become a baby." That's a thing that has been said in the universe now.

[@UltimaterializerX]

Still waiting for the What If meeting :(

[@SeraphsWitness]

So many classic films really hit their stride in the 2nd installment of the series. This was not one of those films.

[@PlusTesty]

Disagree. But I saw the 2nd one first. So for me the 2nd one is great and the 1st one much worse, but still good. The 2nd is reeeeeally great.

[@sirvazo1633]

Agree. Loved the 1st movie, snored through the 2nd one.

[@pferreira1983]

BS! This was a good movie.

[@SeraphsWitness]

@@pferreira1983 I think your nostalgia meter might be under control here.

[@John231984]

@@SeraphsWitness nah. It was good. As an adult, I can see the first film is clearly the stronger of the two. But this was a good sequel.

[@nchannel101]

They knew it was a possibility because they made the toaster dance with uplifting music

[@nateinator23]

I find it coincidental that I watched the movie and then noticed this on my feed. Very interesting KZbin. 🤔

[@illyth63]

Hot take: this is one of the most underrated sequels in cinema history.

[@MrStoooooo]

This was one of the most sequels in cinema history.

[@Werewolf.with.Internet.Access]

My dad swears up and down that the ghostbusters is one of the greatest movies ever I said “the sequels too right?” And he told me to shut up 😂

[@Sherif-the-Watcher]

I wish you posted more pitch meetings But you have a life besides the Ryanverse so... I just can't get enough of pitch meetings

[@alkaline3mc]

I’m glad you did this to draw attention to the fact that the second Ghostbusters movie was on parody with the new Ghostbusters sequel. They are both kind of ridiculous, but they are fun.

[@ReleaseMyKrakken]

He's really powerful... I don't know if he needs to become a baby.... That fucking killed me hahahahaha

[@Jurassiccanonking]

The first Ghostbusters is super good but also somehow underrated despite its already popular. This is a movie as well.

[@bretterry8356]

Hilarious as always, though I'm a little sad you left out the subplot about Louis and Janine.

[@sirlemonhead7715]

Love the era appropriate Amstrad PC in the background :D

[@denkoumasato]

Ngl, Annie Potts/Janine in this movie awoke something in young me

[@jeremyf9124]

“So, you wanna play Boggle or Super Marry-O Brothers?”

[@KasumiKenshirou]

@@jeremyf9124 At least he said "Brothers" and not "Bros" like millennial and zoomer KZbinrs do. They don't understand how abbreviations work.

[@sidekickz2180]

The sewer scene with all the heads on sticks scared the CRAP out of me as a kid! ... low key still does

[@ncapone87]

The Titanic scene for me

[@sidekickz2180]

@ncapone87 that was a pretty chilling scene too! ... oh what about the minks on that lady's fur coat coming back to life and hissing at her?!

[@ravenebony2267]

Definitely. Everything down in the tunnels was pretty creepy

[@ObnoxiousData]

You have to do pitch meeting for every movie ever. Yes we love you that much and you’re that funny! Just remember. It’s super easy! Barely an inconvenience.

[@amsrremix2239]

I love that “unclear” is a legitimate explanation at this movie studio

[@DigitalMorph07]

I saw this movie before the first one when I was a kid and I love it. For nostalgia reasons, I prefer this over the first

[@JDMorris81]

I think it topped the first in many ways. So underrated

[@ruggerwoman6785]

It may not be as quotable as the first one but I also prefer this one. I can’t help but love the Statue of Liberty section. That music is so upbeat and positive. I adore it. On a side note, I had NEVER before noticed that the ghost nanny was also Peter MacNicol! (He is also part of why I love this movie.)

[@medaanhil4133]

His face when he says rekindling 🤣🤣🤣

[@sarodiii]

Every time I open KZbin and see a pitch meeting thumbnail, it makes my day.

[@DrGamelove]

Remember, not only did they bring to Statue of Liberty to life, they controlled it with a Nintendo controller. Because that’s how that works.

[@Dzztzt]

They learned how to move the Statue of Liberty by testing the toaster with slime and yelling at it.
