Never stops being funny to me that Venkman has basically no character growth, stays a parasitic lecher, and acts basically villainous the entire movie. The card scene is just the setup, but the single funniest part to me is when he has to take visual cues from Egon on how much to charge the Sedgwick Hotel. Ray raised the capital and Egon developed the tech, and Venkman "manages" the business while somehow having absolutely no idea of his own company's financials. Then the entire thing with Peck starts, when Peck was 100% in the right and justified and their conflict was entirely Venkman's fault.

Actually! *pushes up glasses* He was only colloquially referred to as Slimer originally.

People speculate what kind of person Slimer was when he was alive.

Fun story: they were so crunched for time when making this movie that many of the SFX shots were actually mock-ups and rough drafts of what the SFX people wanted to do. For instance the scenes where the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man was trashing Manhattan - that was supposed to be presented to Rietman as a concept of what they could do. Rietman took one look at it, said “that’s great, use it” and that was that.

[@Finchsterreading]

The Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man was originally supposed to be the Pillsbury Doughboy, but the nice folks at Pillsbury objected to their beloved corporate mascot destroying Manhattan.

I don't entirely blame them; Google 'My Buddy' doll. Those things were fairly popular, but, dropped quite a bit after Child's Play came out. Kids aren't supposed to see a lot of stuff they end up seeing, and childhood trauma can affect things a lot. Pillsbury has a cute, harmless, helpful Doughboy image to look out for. Seriously though kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZXbmqCLa6aiZpI&pp=ygUTbXkgYnVkZHkgY29tbWVyY2lhbA%3D%3D without the movie for reference to work off of, a Good Guy doll looks like a bootleg My Buddy.

Dan Aykroyd is a huge spiritualism enthusiast and put a lot of that into the Ghostbusters franchise. One pretty clear example is the Sedgewick Hotel, which gets its name from Henry Sidgwick, a 19th century English philosopher who was the first president of the Society for Psychical Research, a Victorian organization devoted to systematically studying stories of ghost encounters. Aykroyd's great grandfather also wrote letters back and forth with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes who got deeply involved with occultism later in life after his son died; Doyle was a member of the SPR as well but resigned after another member, Harry Price, debunked William Hope, a guy known for taking "ghost photographs", as a fake. Doyle was also involved in contemporary occultist organizations like the Ghost Club and the Golden Dawn because of that same interest. I wrote my bachelor's thesis on the origin of the occult detective genre in fiction so media like Ghostbusters always falls within my professional interest.

Fun facts: Rik Moranis' part was originally intended for John Candy. The storyboards even have Louis Tully drawn as a Candy-like figure. The marshmallow fluff was actually gallons of shaving cream. Sigourney Weaver got the part of Dana by acting possessed, snarling, and chewing on a seat cushion when asked to portray possession. Dan Aykroyd has often said Slimer (the green spud) was the ghost of fellow SNL star John Belushi, who had passed away two years prior

[@r0bw00d]

Ackroyd originally planned to have Belushi in the movie as one of the Ghostbusters, but then John died. Slimer was both a tribute to John and a way to still get him in the movie.

"That sound" at the 29:3o-ish mark is probably a Roland electronic drum kit. In addition to emulating "real" drum sounds, it also had some settings that gave it a deliberately futuristic-sounding "synthesizer hit" sound, and that effect turned up in a lot of 80s music back in the day because it was so novel and different. (I say "probably" because there were other electronic instruments that did similar effects, but the Rolands were one of the most popular and widely-used.)

[@magesentron]

The tool that Peter was using in Dana's apartment was a gas detector. It's like this little air pump with a filter inside that collects particles. I guess Egon wanted to see if Dana had a carbon monoxide leak or something causing her issues. That's one of the things most inspectors would look for if someone complained of hallucinations in an apartment, toxic gasses.

The drum sound you were geeking over is a classic synthetic tom. The iconic synth tom comes from 808 synthesizers, the one being used here is modelled after the 808 but it has gated reverb and echo added to make it sound slightly more acoustic. Yes, in the 80s it was a bit of an obsession to take obviously synthetic sounds and over produce them to sound acoustic, even though at the time that whole process was basically just as expensive and complicated as it would have been to use acoustic instruments.

[@Madbandit77]

@@suebob16 It also has a great supporting cast: Christopher Plummer (The Sound Of Music), Alexandra Paul (Christine, Baywatch), Dabney Coleman (9 to 5, Wargames), Jack O'Hallaron (the first two Superman films), Kathleen Freedman (a bunch of Jerry Lewis films, The Blues Brothers) and Harry Morgan (the Dragnet 60s reboot, MASH the sitcom).

i was today years old when i found out about the video game!

[@donwagner8661]

There is 😊 and it'd be a fun playthrough on your game channel! It's always been one of my favorites and I highly recommend it. It has all the original ghostbusters lending their voices and likenesses, as well as Annie Potts and William Atherton. The remaster also has a nice dedication to Harold Ramis at the beginning.

[@watchreadplayretro]

@@TheMirandalorianReacts which one.... there was even a classic from back in the 80s, there was an X-box one, a DS one (I think) there have been several (oh and there was an Alien(s) game from back in the day too, and a Friday the 13th, The Goonies, Robocop, and and and etc etc etc, even if they are not good (Ahem--E.T.!) still worth watching a few moments of play here on YT footage, right! Oh and whilst I'm here, PLEASE check out The Real Ghosbusters cartoon, it has Slimer as a much friendlier ghost and in the 30-something episodes he's pretty much the 5th Ghosbuster (or the Ghosbuster's pet ghost, call it what you will) in a warped way I think I enjoy TRGB more than even the movie! (ducks)

[@chipwhitley6509]

​@watchreadplayretro The 80s were a weird time cause anything that was popular either had a Saturday morning cartoon, a video game, or both

[@MatthewWhite-r3k]

@@TheMirandalorianReacts The Wii version of the Ghostbusters game is probably the best. It's the least-impressive from a graphics standpoint, but the first-person motion controls are fantastic. One really feels like a ghostbuster in it. It has a genuinely good plot too.

[@1001Hobbies]

I am glad you enjoyed this movie so much. It was SUCH a huge hit, and people went to see it multiple times. Yes, the ground breaking up was a PRACTICAL EFFECT. That really happened. Totally controlled and automated of course, but it was THERE, no CGI.

[@josealmeida2842]

Harold Ramis spent most of his film career behind the camera as opposed to in front of it! They auditioned a slew of professional film actors for the role of Egon but none of them seemed to nail the character. So Ramis just decided to play the character and he was perfect for Egon! (RIP) Can’t wait for you to react to the sequels. Whether you react to it or not, I also recommend a spliced version of the 2009 video game as it reunited the maiden line up for one final time! Thanks for sharing!

[@krisfrederick5001]

It's endlessly hilarious that the key master keeps locking himself out of his own apartment. I never noticed this as a kid. I don't blame Rick Moranis for giving up the business for his family. He gave us so many amazing memories. Sorry to crowd but it had to be said.

Came out the year I graduated high school, and it was everywhere, quoted everywhere. Harold Ramis was more known from behind the camera and writing, but he was also a great actor. Both him and Bill Murray was also in "Stripes", which I highly suggest the director's cut. For Bill's earliest starring movies is "Meatballs" which is hilarious. Keep up the great work, Miranda.

[@SpiritOfWanderlust]

Actually, the absolute best Rick Moranis performance (well, outside of Spaceballs) in my opinion is 1990's My Blue Heaven with Steve Martin and Joan Cusack. Moranis is Barney Coopersmith, an FBI agent assigned to oversee witness protection for Martin's mobster character, Vince Antonelli. Lots of shenanigans pursue as Antonelli tries to find ways to sneak his sleazy underworld culture into the wholesome suburban San Diego environment, which ironically leads to him and agent Coopersmith bonding and developing a friendship over time. Cusack plays ADA Hannah Stubbs who serves as the primary antagonistic force, being rather relentless in her pursuit of Antonelli. This may be an unpopular take since the movie had average to mildly negative reviews overall, but I enjoyed it immensely, and Moranis was on-point.

Harold Ramis was comedy gold. He co-wrote Ghostbusters with Dan Akroyd. Joke editor at Playboy magazine for a bit, then Second City Improv, National Lampoon with John Belushi and Bill Murray, then head writer at SCTV Comedy series. Ramis left SCTV to pursue a film career and wrote a script with National Lampoon magazine's Douglas Kenney, which eventually became National Lampoon's Animal House. which was huge. Ramis next co-wrote the comedy Meatballs another of the 6 films he worked on with Bill Murray btw. His third film and directorial debut was Caddyshack, which he wrote with Kenney and Brian Doyle-Murray. RIP Harold.

As a musical lover I know that you will love The Muppet Movie (1979), and the cast of cameos is very entertaining.

John Belushi was originally supposed to be Venkman, but he died of a drug overdose. This is more than a comedy. It is also a horror movie. Jumpscares lead to laughs. Peter, Ray, and Egon are all scientists. Winston is the everyman. In the extended story, Winston got out of the military and was looking for a job.
