The REAL Ghostbusters - Caravan of Garbage

After the success of Ghostbusters 1984 but before the mediocrity of Ghostbusters 2 there was The REAL Ghostbusters, an animated childrens show that aimed to keep the series alive. And also sell toys to children. The story behind it's creation is facinating unlike the show itself which is not great. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

There are so many episodes of this show that are, at least, memorable. Like the one where they fight actual Cthulu. The one where they accidentally get sent back in time somehow and catch the 3 ghosts from Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol and ruin Christmas forever. The one where they come across the ghost of an actual dead guy, and they just have no idea what to do. The one where they just meet what is very obviously supposed to be ghost versions of the cast of Star Trek. The one where they explain why Janine goes from fiesty mid-30s New Yorker to "Ah Shucks" teenager midway through the show.

[@wbennin]

Yes! I also remember one with Nightmare, which in retrospect, seems like it was written by Neil Gaiman. One where there's a creepy jazz band playing on repeat. One where they're trapped in Hell and have to win a gameshow to get out.

All certainly bobbins to anyone without nostalgia goggles.

There's a big showdown where she floats up into the air and yells at the Ghostbusters for not appreciating her as she morphs into all these different types of women. Egon takes off his proton pack and talks her down. They catch the bad spirit bc it breaks connection. In the end Egon hugs her and says he likes her just the way she was and asks her on a date. 💜 As a little girl I appreciated the message. Knowing the backstory now I appreciate the pettiness even more.

Slimer did have post-cartoon success as a mascot for "Ecto-Cooler", a Hi-C tie-in that lasted until *2001*. Meaning there was a brief point in human history where you could safely drink the contents of a first edition Ecto-Cooler while under the surveillance of the Patriot Act.

[@WOLVERINE25TH]

2007. It lost Slimer in 1997 and was renamed twice until it was eventually discontinued.

[@nicksorenson940]

I know that they discontinued Ecto Cooler originally when The Real Ghostbusters had ended since it was introduced partially to tie-in with the cartoon, but with the franchise being made more relevant than ever now by Sony along with its already lasting legacy in pop culture the kid in me wishes they could just revive that flavor of Hi-C permanently with Slimer as the mascot again. If Fred and Barney can still be iconic enough to sell boxes of Fruity/Cocoa Pebbles cereal in the stores, then why not Slimer? They did at least give us that brief revival of Ecto Cooler back when the 2016 movie was released, and like other fans you can bet that I took the most advantage that I could to be able to officially drink it again for the time that it was out (cause the 2016 movie itself didn't look like the kind of reboot I would be wanting to go see otherwise).

[@lukadelic789]

6:43 Didn't expect Gower Street to turn up out of nowhere. There's a Waterstones bookstore there supposedly built on the site of a former Roman farm. There have been several stories of both book-browsers and booksellers turning around corners and seeing the ghosts of the farmers, cast with a strange hue during twilight. The story of the haunted bookshop actually inspired the library-set opening of the original Ghostbusters film in the library, which was why the working title was Blue Harvest.

[@Dorian_sapiens]

Very well done.

[@JachymorDota]

"Garfield 2: Garfield kills again" sounds like the title of the Blumhouse horror adaptation of Garfield once it goes public domain. Which implies that the first movie will be called "Garfield kills". Which is fine.

[@jamesoblivion]

The first 78 episodes are actually really solid for Saturday morning. The characters are consistent and clearly defined, they all get opportunities to shine, and the writers clearly put some research into actual folklore, to draw inspiration from.

[@nathanielsmith9400]

[@effluviah7544]

Honestly, this series was great, and has a ton of episodes that hold up really well (especially in the first 2 seasons). It's great, and I recommend any modern audiences to give it a go! You have to be willing to just have fun with it, and treat it almost as a totally separate thing. I had a crush on Egon as a kid, LOL. The 80s pop songs were actually made for the show, and the band is called Tahiti. Ray Parker Jr actually came back to do an original track for this show, and I think the OST is some of the best Halloween party music out there! Hometown Hero was also a great song, played when Ray visits his hometown and feels bad for leaving to live in the big city, but then saves the day by rescuing a local farm from a ghost infestation. :)

I'm such a huge fan of Season 2 I had to speak up - Season 1 of of the show was comtrolled by the network and was horribly generic, but Season 2 they were *somehow* syndicated and somehow got like 60 episodes so the writers had freedom to tell any tales they wanted. Some of that stuff was genuinely so damn good, esp near the end of their syndicated run. Genuinely as a kid used to cry at the end of "The thing in mrs favisham's attic" and the one with Ray's sister on the farm was damn well written too. If folks check that out, it's definitely worth it.

Boys! You're scaring the straights." 4 - "Yeah, I know Bassmasters. Sure." 5 - Pretty much the entirety of Venkman's TV hosting gig scene. 6 - "Being miserable and treating other people like dirt is every New Yorker's God given right!" - Mayor of New York ...just to name a few moments that I think are the hardest to deny, but am I crazy? These are clever amd fun plot-based and character-based moments ...aren't they?

Ghostbusters 2 is a standard 80s sequel for the 1st act. They do that annoyingly overused thing where they have to undo the progress of the 1st movie so they can do the "comeup" part again. Once we get past that its a really fun movie. Janozj (sp?) alone is fantastic. Peter McNichol crushes it. Moranis and Annie Potts have a lot more to do. The entire Viggo storyline is fun.

Have you noticed that since the first ghostbusters movies, they barely have any ghosts in them? Might as well call them evil God busters, because that’s all they seem to do!

[@imarobobot8795]

It took me watching the movie as an adult to "get" the story from the first movie and realize that incongruity. The rise in paranormal phenomena in New York was very specifically only because the apartment building was built as a huge conductor of spiritual energy to power the gateway for Gozer. The Ghostbusters were just in the right place at the right time with their kooky paranormal/ghost ideas and experiments. Once Peck ordered the shutdown of the containment unit, all that spiritual energy was released and was attracted by the apartment building, coalescing into the portal Gozer walks thru. So after the Ghostbusters destroy the portal, there's technically no ghosts/spiritual energy left... so how/why do ghosts still exist? In GB2 they made up some stuff about the river of slime collecting and manifesting bad vibes that powered a haunted painting, but that was a weak attempt to explain the return of ghosts. And, again, how was the painting haunted? They threw out any explanation for the rule of cool. The cartoons and other media don't even try to explain it because, tbh, who cares? The Ghostbusters, ghost-busting, the ghouls, ghosts, and tech... it's all too cool to let technicalities ruin it 😉

Even in the first movie, we only ever actually see them catch one ghost. The others are all caught off camera, mostly during the big montage.

Caravan of Garbage idea: 1980s Ewok show or Caravan of Courage

As I recall, part of why they look so different is that they didn't want to pay likeness fees to the actors.

That other ghost busters cartoon confused the life out of me as a kid because I had no idea there was a weird show in the 60s or whatever

[@pious83]

10:12 😳 How _very_ dare you! The villain (Vigo) is the highlight of the series! Also Louie finally becoming the fifth Ghostbuster is gold.

Bold choice to include a random shot of Rolf Harris

The cenobite episode is nuts

[@theobnoxiouslycharming1747]

4:10 man.. I'm not really susceptible to nostalgia but that Arthur 'cutaway/flashback' sound felt like a ducking hug of nastalgia 😅🤣

[@Teamo86]

I thought Afterlife was based on Aykroyd's original idea for GB2. He wanted to have the Ghostbusters go to hell and fight demons, in a Dante's Inferno type of way. Ice demons in NY might be a version of that, maybe.

...wait, The sequel to Garfield is Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties. What the hell is Garfield Kills Again?!?

[@Spengali1]

In England The Real Ghostbusters was on CITV after school at the same time that Defenders of the Earth was on CBBC and obviousy, being an 80s child of good taste, Flash Gordon and the boys easily won this contest. James, play the theme!

[@crazyeyeskillah]

We'd watch one and record the other on VHS.

[@Spengali1]

@@crazyeyeskillah You had a VCR in the 80s? Must be nice! 😂

[@crazyeyeskillah]

@@Spengali1 I mean it was the mid to late 80s. By then 30-40% of households in the UK had one, so...

[@loonytunescrazy]

I remember it being on going live the show before Live and Kicking

Giving a like for the absolute perfect Ghostbusters takes: that there is one good movie

[@hydrakn]

19:46 dead laughing at the duet here lol edit: omg it ended even funnier lmfao

[@patwaters-actormoviereviewer]

That is the best comparison, Egon DOES look like a cartoon version of Dermott Brereton.

[@reeds.9669]

I think they got their ghost classifications from the Ghostbusters RPG they made back in the day, there was a Tobin's Spirit Guide supplement for it. That's my guess anyway. I once saw a second-hand copy of the book when I was a kid in Portland's gigantic Powell's Bookstore. Good times. Anyway, you can probably find it in PDF somewhere on the internet and I bet there's one dork reading this who's really glad to know this and a lot of people thinking "Why would I care?" I don't know man, I'm just here to help that one dork.

This morning, I went to work and had no idea what day it is. I come back home, now I know it's Thursday. Thank you Mr. Movie Sunday.

[@theformation3781]

Thank you maso for bumming me the fuck out at the 5 minute 30 second mark, i dont watch youtube to be reminded of my mortality and inevitable death i watch it to distract me from that fact, that said great video as always lads, very entertaining even if it was slightly less entertaining than the rest of the catalogue due to aforementioned reasons

[@sirc625]

The Toei animated episodes are awesome. "The Collect Call of Cthulhu" Season 2, Episode 28 is a stand out for sure 🙂

[@jimbo199249]

Garfield Kills Again is my favourite Ghostbusters movie

[@hollandscottthomas]

I only watched two seconds of this and I can't believe they didn't mention how Garfield's animated voice actor Lorenzo Music was the voice of Venkman, who was played in the movie by Bill Murray, and Bill Murray went on to voice Garfield in its live-action movie and its sequel: Garfield Kills Again.

[@the6ig6adwolf]

James's utter contempt for Ghostbusters must stem from his inability to watch the cartoon as a child.

[@Ryan_Hecht]

don't worry ben and laurence I noticed the Arthur flashback noise at 4:11
