Episode 364 - Ghostbusters is The GOAT!

About this episode

The episode discusses the cultural impact and enduring popularity of the movie Ghostbusters.

Q: Who you gonna call? A: Ghostbusters! Duh! Let’s lighten the mood a bit as we finally jibber-jabber about one of the greatest foundational movies of all time - Ghostbusters! If you’ve never seen this blockbuster comedy/sci-fi/adventure mashup from 1984, we have to ask - What rock have you been living under? With a stacked cast of Second City and SNL superstars, some of the most quotable lines ever, and a marketing synergy for the ages, Ghostbusters is a perennial favorite here at the show. If you don’t enjoy its innumerable charms, you are dead inside. So strap on a proton pack as we join Stantz, Venkman, Spengler and Zeddemore to save humanity from an army of angry ghosts released by Gozer the Gozerian, a couple of demon dogs and of course, the Staypuft Marshmallow Man. Up is down, black is white, dogs and cats living together….Mass hysteria! 0:00 - Intros 6:30 - Paradise (Hulu) 9:35 - The Beauty 17:15 - P1uribus 21:30 - Fallout 25:15 - One Piece 31:35 - Taken 38:35 - Ghostbusters (1984)
