A haunted library, a deadpan pitch to City Hall, and a marshmallow titan stomping through New York—our rewatch of Ghostbusters digs into why this blend of scares and snickers still hits. We open on the film’s tonal swerve: real chills in the stacks that quickly give way to chaotic hotel hijinks, a smart pivot that reframes fear as fuel for character and comedy. From there, we trace the heartbeat of the movie—the scrappy startup story hiding in plain sight—where three displaced academics bootstrap a business, find product–market fit with a media montage, and sell salvation to the mayor with nothing but charm, jargon, and a proton pack.
We get hands-on with the craft that makes it timeless. Practical effects, matte paintings, and hand-animated elements pop in 4K, revealing seams that somehow make the supernatural feel more tactile. The Stay Puft suit-and-miniatures work sells scale you can sense; the containment breach explodes with real-world light and debris; even the terror dogs’ awkward gait becomes a lovable fingerprint of the era. Along the way we unpack the casting magic and what-ifs: Bill Murray’s improvised swagger, Dan Aykroyd’s earnest wonder, Harold Ramis’s cool precision, and Ernie Hudson’s everyman clarity that gives the audience a voice inside the chaos. Sigourney Weaver’s turn as the grounded foil sharpens both the horror beats and the humor.
We also chase the earworm. Ray Parker Jr.’s theme, built like an irresistible late-night jingle, branded the film in four words—“Who you gonna call?”—and sparked a legal saga that only added to the legend. Sprinkle in Ecto-1’s siren, the no-ghost logo, and Stay Puft foreshadowing in Dana’s kitchen, and you’ve got iconography that still rules Halloween playlists, retro merch shelves, and theme-park corners. We close with our favorite scenes, honest ratings, and why Ghostbusters remains a drop-in-anytime comfort watch that keeps calling us back.
If this trip through slime, sirens, and city-saving made you smile, follow the show, share it with a movie friend, and tell us your favorite Ghostbusters scene or quote in the comments. Your picks might guide our next rewatch.

Joe (00:00):
What they do with that too is the bag's setting there with
the eggs.
Dylan (00:03):
Yeah.
Joe (00:04):
But as the eggs are cracking and all that, it's
zooming into that logo.
It's zooming into that bag too.
Dylan (00:10):
Oh, welcome to Have You Seen the Movie Podcast, where
(00:36):
every movie is a premiere.
Joe (00:38):
This week we're crossing the streams and diving into the
movie that made ghosts funny.
Ghostbusters.
Dylan (00:45):
This week's movie, Ghostbusters, is Rated PG.
If you're not ready for someslime screams and serious
proton-packed power, maybe tunein next week.
Pretty much the only thing thatI like solidly would remember
just even before watching themovie is definitely like the
iconic logo from going intoUniversals, you know, definitely
(01:07):
the firehouse.
Yeah.
And then also the song.
Because I, you know, you can'tyou can't go anywhere and not
hear that song.
Joe (01:18):
Yeah.
Any Halloween party that you'regonna go to, you're gonna hear
it.
If you're going to an 80sparty, you're gonna hear it.
Right.
Uh it's probably one of themost iconic.
When we get there, I'll explaina little more about the song.
Dylan (01:31):
Okay.
Joe (01:32):
Three out-of-work scientists start a get ghost
catching business andaccidentally become New York's
last hope against a giantmarshmallow good.
Dylan (01:44):
So were did you watch this movie like when it first
came out?
Joe (01:48):
Um, I may have.
I don't remember watching it atthe theater, but we would go to
the theater a lot, and that waspretty much the only option at
the time.
Yeah.
Um, I remember it was, youknow, a huge cultural thing, you
know.
Yeah.
It was just, yeah, it waseverywhere, the song was
(02:09):
everywhere.
Um, I mean, it was a good timefor music anyway.
Right.
Um, my my biggest memory ofthat was my aunt would take me
to um the bookstore with her,and she was an avid reader.
Yeah.
So I'd go and you know, look atlook at different books and
(02:29):
kids' books and stuff like that.
And I remember her buying methe Ghostbusters picture book.
And and it came with stickersand uh, you know, all that kind
of stuff.
And it was basically, you know,a paraphrase of the whole
movie.
So but it had like really goodpictures.
I wish I I had it.
I mean, my mom's might have itsomewhere, but yeah, it was
(02:52):
really cool.
And I remember that being kindof a uh what do you call it?
The uh inside out uh corememory.
Yeah, it's a core memory.
It's a core memory.
Because I remember sitting onthe floor in the bookstore in
the corner looking at it.
Oh, really?
She was like, You you know, doyou want me to buy you that like
kind of thing?
And I was like, Yeah, you know,so I can't.
(03:12):
That's awesome.
Dylan (03:14):
So that's so cute.
Yeah.
So do you still feel like themovie holds up as well as it
did?
Joe (03:21):
I think so.
You know, um, there areobviously some uh Spielberg
talked about this.
Um you never want to go back onwhat you did, you know, you
never want to go back and kindof like what Lucas did, and he
he redid, you know, a lot ofStar Wars effects and and you
(03:42):
know, that kind of stuff.
Right.
And you never want to go backand fix that, but you know,
there are some pop-out thingsthat because they used animation
and they used um uh paintingson glass to make the buildings
look bigger, or uh the whole youknow, the buildings on there
were uh you know extended in thesky or things like that.
(04:07):
Yeah.
And it there subtle things wereespecially in the 4K, that's
what we watch today.
Um, you could see it more.
It's like the better theresolution, the more you could
see things stand out.
Right, you know, and it'salmost working backwards in a
way, you know.
Dylan (04:24):
Yeah, so yeah, I think like out of that, like the
biggest thing that I noticed outof all of it, and that I even
comment commented to you like inthe time was the the dogs, like
when they were like really, youknow, running for lack of a
better term, like it showed somuch in the CGI, yeah.
Joe (04:48):
And you know, it was a mix of practical effects and it was
a mix of, you know, umanimation.
Yeah, you know, so it it wasyou know hand drawn and all
that, and then so you could seewhen the beast is, you know,
like so there's that point whereI'm trying to remember his
name, Rick Moranis is running aaround the city, yeah, and you
(05:13):
see the you know the the statuerunning after him, and so you
see him running, and then it itlooks animated, but then when
it's at a standstill, it's thisbeasty, big, huge, burly, you
know.
It's like if they could onlyhave figured out how to make
them run in in real life and getreal lighting and and all that,
(05:35):
but there's just a little bitof you know that so all those
were like hand-drawn?
From what I from what I'veheard, yeah.
Really?
Yeah, because the they're thefirst CG in a movie was um uh I
can't remember what it's called,but it basically there's a
scene where there's a uh stainedglass window and it's of a a
(06:00):
night, and the night pops out ofthe stained glass and becomes
this like uh yeah, yeah.
And that and I can't rememberall the facts of when it
happened.
Dylan (06:10):
I can look it up while we're talking, but um, that was
the first CG, and and then evenin Tron there was a little bit
of CG, but right, because Tron,I was I was reading the other
day that Tron was like the firstlike big use of it of computer
generated, yeah, and um it wouldit lost out on like awards and
(06:34):
stuff because they what was itit because they didn't know like
how to categorize it?
Categorize it, yeah.
And so like with how kind ofbig the first Tron was and it
lost out on those awards, kindof crazy, yeah.
Joe (06:56):
So as far as uh comparison of or expectations of horror
versus comedy, how how much doyou feel like you what was met?
Dylan (07:07):
I feel like the like the opening part of it with the
librarian like was a lot scarierthan the rest of the like yeah,
it was honestly one of the mostscariest parts in the whole
movie, but then um like lateron, like Slimer was that was
(07:28):
just funny, and with like goingback to like the opening with
the librarian and stuff, evenwhen they go back to the library
and the Ghostbusters like startto hunt down the librarian,
then it like the the pop out oflike the scary face that you
(07:52):
know made them all run out ofthe building screaming, yeah.
That was funny, yeah.
Joe (07:57):
Yeah, and that that I think I talked about it oh one of one
of the previous ones, but thatoriginal um uh shot or that
original um makeup effect waswas actually supposed to be
scarier and it ended up in inthe movie Fright Night.
Oh yeah, yeah, because um sothere was like more more mangly
(08:22):
teeth and it was more demonicand it's really it was just way
more intense, and so theychanged it to be what it was,
yeah.
Because uh, and then in themovie Fright Night, uh there's a
scene where the girlfriendchanges into a vampire.
Spoiler alert, and uh that wasthe effect that they were
originally gonna use in inGhostbusters, um, which is kind
(08:46):
of a cool um crossover kind ofthing, yeah.
Uh pretty cool, cool throwbackto it.
Dylan (08:52):
Yeah.
That's that's reallyinteresting because the like
having the if that were to belike that super scary, and then
have the rest of the movie likeit definitely leans towards the
like paranormal comedy side ofit, yeah, than like the
(09:17):
paranormal horror side of it.
That's a big difference, yeah.
And so that would definitelykind of be almost like a jarring
turn, like for the movie, yeah,is that like you watch it and
you're you're thinking, okay,this is how all of the ghost
interactions are going to be.
(09:37):
Like, I'm gonna have to preparemyself, yeah.
And then, you know, just a nottoo much longer later, um,
they're chasing around uh, youknow, the the slimer in the
hotel who's just eatingeverything.
Yeah, right.
Joe (09:53):
Yeah.
Um yeah, and I guess they theyreferred to that as the John
Belushi um uh uh what did theycall it?
The John Belushi ghost becauseuh so they do they they made it
to look as like a tribute toJohn Belushi because in the
(10:14):
movie Animal House um he ate alot of food and he was like
pigging out and and stuff likethat.
So they kind of wanted thattribute to John Belushi because
he had passed like before themovie had started.
Yeah.
And so they they wanted to makeit a tribute to him.
Oh, interesting.
Dylan (10:35):
Yeah, and it's funny too, like with like Bill Murray as
Venckman, like the just the justthe deadpan that he like what
he would you say, like performsthe lines with, yeah.
Like just the deadpan of that,yeah.
Like it's like supposed to bethis like funny line, and he's
(10:59):
just so monotone about it.
Right.
Joe (11:02):
Yeah, he's so he's such a his monologue in the in the um
the mayor's office is so greatbecause he starts to like you
know, he's um she calls him uh auh TV show host or something
like that.
(11:22):
Yeah.
And and but he's more like aused car salesman when he gets
in there and he starts to sellit, and it's almost like he's
the way it's written and theway, you know, I guess I heard
that he he had ad-libbed most ofhis lines anyway.
Oh really?
So yeah, so all the likeanything that was written, he
would just ad-lib and embellishon what was written.
(11:46):
Yeah, and so you just in thatin that scene, you could just
see it in his eyes and and justthings changing around to where
you know he's he's selling thisto the mayor, like, hey, you
know, at first it's like tryingto get out of the hole that
they're in, but then he turns itaround and it's just like, hey,
you're gonna be the savior ofthe city, you know, and even the
(12:09):
cardinal or whatever that guywas was like nodding, like,
yeah, like I see where you'regoing with this, right?
So um that character wasactually originally written for
John Belushi, but he passedbefore the movie could could uh
so he's Jake in um BluesBrothers.
So in the Blues Brothers,there's Jake in Elwood, which is
(12:31):
Dan Aykroyd, and John Belushi.
And um, and he and John Belushiplayed Jake in the Blues
Brothers.
So it was supposed to be amovie done after the Blues
Brothers, yeah, that they weretrying to uh Dan Aykroyd
originally came up with.
Um, and Dan Aykroyd had theidea of like paranormal because
(12:51):
he studied the paranormal andand his family had like all this
all these books and things likethat of of the paranormal.
So he always had an obsessionwith it.
Yeah.
Um, but there was an originalmovie called The Ghostbusters
that um was like, I don't know,in the 40s or something like
that.
Uh this isn't this isn'tcontent for perfect history of
(13:12):
his thing.
But it was based on that andkind of wanted to be slapstick,
but also wanted to be, you know,that that paranormal, like
slapstick funny.
So um, yeah, he his hischaracter was originally gonna
be John Belushi, uh, the actorJohn Belushi.
(13:33):
Um and then Dan Aykroyd andHara Ramus in it.
Dylan (13:39):
Um definitely the the the perfect like geek duos.
Yeah, they are.
Joe (13:45):
And and one is what I like about Ray Dan Aykroyd is that he
has this like innocence abouthim and this this kind of
purity, yeah, of like he's justuh he's just he's like he's just
a believer, you know.
Like he just he just knows thatthis is happening, and like you
know uh Pete uh Peter and umBankman are down trying to
(14:12):
haggle with the salesperson, andall he's worried is like, have
you seen this poll?
You guys try this fireball thenyou guys gotta try this, you
know.
Yep, and so she's gonna be alittle bit more.
Right, right.
Dylan (14:26):
She had him at that point.
She was like, Well, you'retaking it regardless.
Joe (14:30):
Yeah, he goes and gets the Ecto one and he's all happy.
And yeah, you know, likePeter's like, Oh man, you're
spending all this money, youknow, $4,500.
Like, that was a lot for thattime.
Yeah.
For a wrecked up car.
Dylan (14:43):
I was gonna say uh every everything on it needed to be
repaired.
Yeah, yeah.
Joe (14:49):
I don't know if I would pay forty five dollars forty five
hundred dollars now for that inthat condition, you know.
Maybe I would because of whatthe car is, but I think we have
ghosts in here right now.
Dylan (15:03):
I think so.
But yeah, with with um with howthat car is too, like it's such
an icon of the whole franchiseas well.
And like you definitely likerecognize it whenever you walk
around and stuff, yeah.
Joe (15:24):
Um living in California, I worked in Chatsworth and I used
to drive by a place wherethere's actually a DeLorean
dealership, yeah.
And then there was anotherplace that had star cars there,
and I would see the Ecto onethere all the time.
Oh, it was totally cool.
Like, yeah, living out there,you could see things that you
(15:48):
just it's like okay, there's anEcto one.
Right where I went to collegedown the road, there was a uh
filming like uh Western uhfilming place, yeah, and the
owner owned a General Lee fromuh uh Dukes at Hazard.
So you'd be at school, and thenall of a sudden you just see a
(16:10):
General Lee driving down theroad, you know?
It's like okay, all theseiconic cars, just you know,
daily drivers.
Yeah, who does that, you know?
Dylan (16:19):
That's so funny.
Joe (16:21):
But yeah, it Ecto 1 is definitely iconic.
I mean, there's so many partsand pieces to to put on there
that it takes a lot to puttogether.
I mean, that's a character inthe movie in itself.
Yeah, yeah.
Dylan (16:35):
It's so funny that like the the EPA is like kind of the
the bad guy movie environmentalprotection, right?
Yeah, and like he's definitelyhe's definitely just a punchable
villain, yeah.
Joe (16:55):
Like yeah, I guess whenever he would walk around New York,
people would yell at him and andreally, yeah, um and yell
profanities and refer to themovie.
I'm not gonna say it, but ofwhat they called him in it.
Um, so it was kind of hard hardfor him to walk around New
(17:16):
York.
Um but with uh SigourneyWeaver, it was such a good
chance for her to get into acomedy because she had done
nothing but like straight rolesand serious roles.
But you know, sorry JenniferLawrence, but she is Sigourney
(17:37):
Weaver is one of the first uhlead female action heroes uh you
know in film.
Like she because she was shewas an alien in aliens first.
Oh yeah, so she was an alienbefore this, and you know, she
kicked butt, you know.
Yeah.
So like um, yeah, so for her toget a part in as a damsel in
(18:03):
distress is just you know adifferent different uh kind of
different role for her, but shewas pretty awesome.
I mean, she she played kind ofthe like if you looked at the
old, I don't know, even if youlooked at um the three stooges,
there was sometimes someone inthe mix that was the straight
role, and so you have thesebumbling dudes, and then you
(18:26):
have this right kind of the youknow, and and she was that for
you know for them.
Like she was the serious like,hey guys, let's get it together,
you know.
Dylan (18:36):
Yeah.
Well, and like throughout likethe movie overall, like the with
like the trying to blend thecomedy and paranormal, it
definitely like starts off supertrying, like trying to be more
paranormal horror, and then I'velike I feel like after the kind
(19:01):
of the library scene,everything that's when it shifts
into just more of the comedystuff, and I feel like with me,
I felt like that was prettynoticeable, uh-huh.
Like watching it, is that itwas trying to be this darker,
scarier, and then all of asudden, you know, they're
(19:23):
running screaming out of thelibrary, yeah, and then that's
when everything just shifts.
Joe (19:28):
Yeah, and it yeah, it's funny how they they kind of um
they do that, they kind of buildit that way.
But you know, the the at thecore of it, it is the hey, we're
building a business here, andso they kind of show like, you
know, if you're building abusiness, the ins and outs that
you go through when you're youare building a business, because
(19:50):
like, hey, I haven't done, youknow, like I I had a carpet
cleaning business, like, okay, Idon't know what problems I'm
gonna I'm gonna run into, yeah,but I gotta prepare for all this
and I just gotta act on thefly.
And so it's hilarious whenthey're you know, they're in
they're in that first scene andthey're just like, what do we
do?
I don't know.
And then he's like, follow me,guys, just just do what I do,
(20:13):
and they're like, okay, youknow, yeah, they did her.
Dylan (20:18):
They definitely do a good job of that throughout the
whole movie.
Of in the in the like beginningof it, is they're trying to
just figure things out as theygo, and it shows throughout the
movie of when they're going intoa place becoming more
professional, if you will,because I don't think
(20:38):
confidence, right?
Confidence, that's what it is,because it's not
professionalism.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joe (20:44):
Finkman is not the most professional.
Dylan (20:46):
No, and it it was so funny, like when after the
meeting with the mayor, and heknew he he had it, and just the
show boating to the crowdbefore.
Joe (20:57):
Yeah.
It's so but the cool thing toois like they show Dana and she's
you know, she's watching themgrow, and she's you know, they
show her working out andwatching TV, and there's
different ads that come up, andthey show the montage of of
newspapers, and and she it seemslike she's getting more
attracted to Peter because ofit, because it's like, oh, he's
like a rock star.
(21:18):
Yeah, this is not what Iexpected.
And uh, and so like, yeah, soit does show like it it's that
confidence building, especiallywhen you start to run your
business and you know whatyou're doing and you have a
regular rhythm.
Any profession, you're justlike you start off going, oh
what you know, what what do Ineed to know?
(21:39):
And even though you've beeneducated in this field or you
have an idea, it's not until youhit that that pavement that you
start to get your groove, andyou know, it's just yeah, so it
it's a good especially on thatside of things, like just it's
good.
Um you know, and then they haveto uh they get so many uh so
(22:05):
much work that they have to addemployees, they add the
secretary, and um, and then theErnie Hudson character comes in,
and he was originally writtenfor um for Eddie Murphy.
Dylan (22:17):
Uh oh really, yeah, okay.
I could definitely see that.
Yeah.
But he's definitely the theunsung unsung hero of the group
right there.
Yeah.
Joe (22:28):
But you know, I I feel like his character is really good at
at being the the audience insome ways, because you kind of
you're this person that'sjumping in and then taking a
ride, and then he's he'sspeaking like, hey, you know,
when he tells the mayor, he'slike, Hey, I I've seen some
(22:51):
stuff that that'll turn youwhite, right?
That's like the best, one ofthe best lines.
That whole scene for me is isis what makes that sells up for
yeah.
Yeah, because he's just youknow, he's ready to kick butt.
And you know, yeah.
Dylan (23:10):
Well, and even even with like when he's going in to the
secretary and she's interviewinghim, and he's he's talking and
she's she's listening to thethings like, Do you believe in
these?
Yeah, he's like, I'll believein whatever you tell me.
Joe (23:30):
Yeah, if it pays enough, yeah.
And then they walk in and he'slike looking at them, and
they're just all covered in gooand whatnot.
Dylan (23:40):
Right.
The ecdote.
Joe (23:41):
Like, all right, you're hired.
Dylan (23:44):
Right, go help him, go help him with this.
Joe (23:46):
Yeah.
Dylan (23:48):
So and the so going back to touching on the score and the
theme song, like it's such a uhhuge still is a huge like pop
culture kind of big player,especially around like Halloween
(24:08):
and stuff, right?
Joe (24:10):
Yeah.
So that song, um I guess hewrote it, so um you know, he was
a he was a big writer of othersongs, and he had other bands
and things like that.
Um so Ray Parker Jr.
is his name, and he had a bandcalled Radio, like R-A-Y-D-O,
(24:33):
you know, radio, and then hewent on his own and was doing
just music on his own and thingslike that.
And so he he was he was awell-known name before that.
Um, but he had like not verylong to write this song, and he
was inspired by watching TV.
And at night, you'd have thesein you know, infomercials or
(24:55):
commercials on, you know, fromuh you know, bug company
plumbing you know, on all thatstuff.
Hey, call this number, youknow.
And so that there was somethingthat said who you're gonna
call.
And so from that, he he startedto write, you know, okay, the
story of of the Ghostbusters andyou know, all that kind of, you
(25:17):
know, and so he he wanted that,like if you if you were writing
a jingle for a for acommercial, and so that it it
has that, you know, if there'ssomething strange in the
neighborhood, who are you gonnacall?
Right.
Um, I mean you can think ofthink of other ads that are like
that that are kind of likestick in your brain, um,
(25:38):
plumbing or heating, or youknow, all those other, and so
that's kind of where he wasgoing.
The problem was that he mayhave unknowingly uh stole the
rhythm and backtrack to anothersong.
Oh, yeah.
So there's a call, the songcalled uh Want a New Drug, I
(26:00):
Want a New Drug from Huey Lewisin the news.
Okay, and it has the same exactuh da da da da da da and it
kind of like kind of stuffbehind it.
And you can compare them andthey're pretty close.
Yeah.
So they there was um a lawsuitthat happened in the 80s, and
they basically said, Okay, we'regonna settle, but the the deal
(26:23):
is like we can't talk about it,or you can't talk about how the
case was, you know, settled orwhatever.
And so, like, long long storyshort, what ended up happening
is like on VH1, they were doingthese like um behind the music
kind of things, and they got toHuey Lewis in the news, and he
kind of accidentally divulgedthe the stuff of the case.
(26:47):
So then, like, I guess RayParker Jr.
ended up getting more moneyfrom it because um they they
weren't supposed to talk aboutit, so there was this like there
was this like you you weren'tsupposed to talk about the case
or how much you made or blahblah blah, and so like because
Huey Lewis talked about it,yeah, he breached the contract,
and and then Ray Parker Jr.
(27:08):
ended up getting getting moremoney, but uh yeah, so that was
an accidental uh you know kindof case that happened, but they
both, you know, I think they'reboth getting money from either
the original song orGhostbusters, and yeah, you
know, so and there's been a lotof um in music where uh you know
(27:31):
Michael Jackson uh told uhHollow Notes that he stole the
bass line from um from one oftheir songs for like beat it or
something, and and they're like,Okay, you know, yeah, they're
just like we don't hear it, butthat's fine, you know.
That's funny.
They're like, Well, we don'trecognize that, but if you say
(27:52):
so, if you say so, yeah, goodfor you, you know.
But some other people just youknow aren't that way, and we'll
talk more about Hugh Lewis whenwe go through Back to the
Future.
Dylan (28:06):
So do you think your favorite scene from like overall
for the whole movie is in themayor's office, that scene?
Man.
Like if you if you had to pickone scene.
Joe (28:24):
I think the funniest line for me is the is that you know,
uh, it's gonna be it's gonna bea biblical proportions, and then
you know, they're they all havetheir own line, and then Bill
Murray's like cats and dogssleeping together, it just
always makes me laugh becauseit's like if you read the book
of Revelation, it has all thesethings and it talks about the
(28:46):
lion, the lion and the lamb andall these, you know, kind of
like more uh like more uh uh youknow, more of those types of
things happening, but like tome, cats and dogs sleeping
together, it's like that thatalready happens, you know.
It's just funny, and likethat's gonna be the you know the
end times.
(29:07):
The end times, yeah.
The end times when cats anddogs are sleeping together,
that's it.
Yeah, so that's funny.
Dylan (29:17):
I would say, like, for me, it would be a toss-up
between um the when thecontainment unit explodes.
Oh, yeah, that's a good shot.
Yeah.
And like when they you knowpull back and and show it from
far away, and see the you seethe top of the roof exploding
and all of the I was gonna sayzombies, all of the ghosts,
(29:42):
yeah, you know, come pouring outof the top of it, and you're
like, hmm, this is not gonna begood.
Joe (29:48):
Yeah, and I I just noticed that scene, just all the
explosions and the practicaleffects of them running out and
everything.
Yeah.
And and Rick Moranis is sobehind because he's still in
character.
Dylan (30:00):
character right and it's like man dude you're gonna get
burned you know like yeah yeahthey do he definitely definitely
sold that or when like the topof the building pretty much like
explodes outwards with all ofthe the fire effects like super
awesome shot like they justdon't they just don't do that
(30:22):
anymore so and I think like forme like I think when when the
stay puff comes out and it justcomes again from Ray's innocence
yeah that's it's like it's likewe we could not die from from
the stay puff marshmallow manyeah because he's he's
(30:43):
essentially like the Michelinman and the and the Pillsbury
doughboy right now like rightPillsbury doughboy like you you
know you you press him and hedoes that you know you know how
could he kill anybody you knowand it's just like he comes out
in a rage and then he was astall as a skyscraper.
Joe (31:01):
Yeah I love his face when they start you know they start
going at it you know they'rethey're shooting him and he has
this like it's like oh man orlike another one of like the
most iconic not iconic anotherone of the most like memorable
(31:24):
memorable um scenes is whenthey're fighting Slimer and he
he goes right through him yeahand you like panda the shot of
he's like on his back can't getup it's like a turtle exactly
(31:45):
like struggling to get up andhe's like what happened he
slimed me yeah he slimed me yeahit's like they I guess they
said that the phrase slimerwasn't coined in the movie but I
did notice that so he said heslime me yeah and that's about
in that scene as much as theysay but I do notice that Dan
(32:07):
Aykroyd calls when I think it'sDan Aykroyd one of them when
they're referring to what's inthe chamber when he's giving um
um Winston when he's giving himthe lesson on how to do this
yeah he he says something aboutthere's ghosts and slimers in
there and I wonder if that'swhere it came from I don't know
(32:28):
for sure but I was like ohthat's the first time I remember
hearing that in the moviebecause a lot of people on that
yeah a lot of people be like ohwell the term slimer is not in
the movie but it is I was likehey it's right there got it it's
always good to watch rewatchand so yeah um the movie was
originally set in the future andI and I think of it like back
(32:50):
to the future kind of like backto future part two like you know
how everything's no which youfamously famously which is why
we're doing this right back tothe future part two there's all
these futuristic things or BladeRunner kind of thing and I
think the original thought ofhow this was going to be done
(33:10):
was just it's gonna befuturistic so you're gonna be
dropped into a world of alreadyhaving um ghostbusters and and
so it would be like if you werecalling the fire department or
you know the police right butlike like these Ghostbusters are
so established already like youjust you're getting dropped
(33:33):
into this world of here's what'shappening as opposed to here's
the start of it you know rightum so is it supposed to be like
just the whole thing is wassupposed to be set in the future
or is it like supposed to bethat like the characters get you
know transported to the futureno it was just going to be set
(33:54):
in the future to where there'salready an established
ghostbusting uh you know umbusiness or or whatever but it
but it sounded like more like itwas going to be more privatized
or not privatized but um likegovernment run or something like
that.
Yeah.
Like firefighters or you knowthat's kind of why they they
(34:16):
kind of did the firefighterthing and and had you know the
paramedic Ecto 1 and you knowall that kind of stuff.
Dylan (34:25):
So how like does it say somewhere like how big the stay
puffed suit actually was yeahman.
Because I noticed like in a lotof those shots like they
definitely use more of apractical model for that.
And so that would yeah it's asuit.
Joe (34:46):
Yeah it's it's a person in a suit.
Oh man and yeah it it was likelots of foam um there's a whole
behind the scenes on how theybuilt it yeah um and the what
they went through to create thewhat was on the page to what
came out really yeah huh Iactually thought of making one
(35:08):
at one point to that scale tothe scale yeah to the scale
because it it was just theperson and and they built the
you know miniatures around itbut um so uh yeah it could have
been could have been a normalsize person I can't remember but
it was definitely a suit andyou know they had it so that um
(35:30):
that's why it has the one faceyou know right it's almost like
building um uh mascot yeah yeahthat that was kind of the same
idea of how they do it becauseusually you form things in foam
right and then you cover it inin material fabric yeah whatever
(35:50):
you want and and so that's kindof the direction they went like
where the the head is just kindof a fiberglass I mean you if
you watch like the mass singernow there those things are
coming out every week becauseyou know those are the same it's
the same idea.
Dylan (36:05):
Yeah um because they it has two different heads or like
you know faces for it right yeahyeah so it's not like they had
to go through and and do a bunchof different faces for it but
yeah you can't you know cameralooks away and then when it
(36:26):
looks back that's when it hasthe different you know face.
Joe (36:29):
Right.
But they use three suits attwenty thousand dollars a piece
what yeah yeah that's crazy andI bet most of it was uh you know
labor because oh I'm surebecause you know it's foam and
fiberglass and material but thenyou have like the design and
(36:53):
yeah you know it's just I lovehow soft it looks yeah I know I
just want to squeeze it rightjust a big old bear hut I like
how in like the earlier scene ofthe movie when they first meet
Dana is that she has a bag yesof the stay puffed marshmallows
(37:15):
there's so many uh there's somany setups for that there's the
there's the bag in therethere's a lot of ads um there on
the building there's there's aoh really yeah there's there's a
building where it's like up inthe air and the ad is painted on
to the building oh really yeahoh there's just so many little
(37:37):
Easter eggs of of stay puff likethat's great yeah because it's
kind of internally getting youas like you know setting you up
for that like hey I'm in thisworld and this is right one of
the major um you know marketingads or major products that that
they have in their world um andso when it comes it's like oh
(38:03):
yeah and that's like I think oneof the first that that they
show is the bag because it's notonly that what they do with
that too is the bag settingthere with the eggs yeah but as
the eggs are cracking and allthat it's zooming into that logo
it's zooming into that bag toooh yeah yeah that's that's good
(38:26):
input right there because likeyou know you're watching the
eggs and they're they're fryingon the counter you know I'll
take mine poached please yeah soum but yeah it's it's zooming
in on the eggs and like in yourhead you're like oh her
groceries are just there on thecounter but in reality it's like
(38:46):
oh hey look at this yeah yeahyeah just with all of the all of
the merchandising for it andeven like I can't even say it's
revital revitalizingrevitalization like with the
(39:08):
movies that have come out morerecently but yeah it I think it
it's been pretty steady and yeahand like the whole the whole
culture of Ghostbusters has justbeen consistent.
Right um with Dan Aykroyd justbeing in different movies um
there was one so I guess in the90s they did uh Casper the
(39:33):
friendly ghost and he does acameo in there as Ray oh yeah he
comes out he's like I'm notdealing with that he goes so
there are so many things acrossthe culture like right now I'm
wearing a Ghostbuster shirt thatI bought Orlando and and it's
so cool that at UniversalOrlando not a plug but we go
(39:59):
because we love it um but thatthere's so many things uh of
Ghostbusters there and theystill they still have merch for
Ghostbusters yeah you know andand it and there was a time when
there was you know it was inthe theme park and there was a
show and you know obviously I Ihadn't gone but I always like to
(40:20):
visit that corner next to themummy where the firehouse is uh
like Rip Right Rocket would gothrough that.
Right.
And so and then in the backthere's the whole New York scene
and I guess they used to do akind of live show right there
but I always like to visit itbecause to me that's like the
Ghostbusters corner and I thinka lot of people want want that
(40:42):
nostalgia and they wantGhostbusters back.
Like they would love to it itwould be awesome if they would
have put like an Ecto one on theRip ride rocket and and just
made it a Ghostbusters ride youknow like maybe Slimer's chasing
after you and you're on theecto or yeah that would be
interesting that would be aninteresting spin on it yeah but
(41:04):
uh yeah and so from from the newmovies to that I mean I have a
proper or uh Halloween replicaof the of the um of the proton
pack of the proton pack um anduh yeah anytime I I you know I
work as a custodian at schooland I have my backpack vacuum on
(41:28):
I'm just I'm just aGhostbuster.
That's it you know some crunchyghosts there.
Dylan (41:36):
Yeah yeah but yeah like that's all I can think about is
when I think of Ghostbustersmerch and stuff as is at
Universal and just seeing iteverywhere and your t-shirt.
Joe (41:48):
And my t-shirt yeah yeah I love it um I've been meaning to
get one for a long time and uhyeah finally made it happen
finally made it happen but Inoticed too in the in the movie
with that the the ghost likelogo yeah I had I noticed that
they put it up on the on thebuilding front of the building
(42:11):
there they should have done thatin in the universal yeah yeah
they still should you know and Idon't know if they had before
but um yeah oh like back whenthey had the kind of this this
not stage show but the streetshow from Ghostbusters they
(42:31):
might have had out there Iremember growing up though there
were two so that originalGhostbusters movie like in the
40s for some reason the the Iforget what company it was they
came out with a Ghostbusterscartoon and then and then there
was a Ghostbusters cartoon basedon the movie and they called it
(42:55):
the real Ghostbusters and likethere was this back and forth of
cartoons of like because one ofthem was trying to capitalize
on the the Ghostbusters you knowthe 84 movie.
Right whereas like you knowthey were trying to just keep
pushing the 84 movie and andhave a kid's show you know and
that one was pretty cool becauselike there were other
(43:16):
storylines and like I mean Iremember one as a kid where they
went to this place where thingsgot lost and they like found
socks and stuff and it was likewhere are we?
Well you know when uh you knowwhen you lose your socks in the
dryer this is where it goes Imean just stuff like that.
(43:37):
It was like really coolstorylines and um you know other
other voices and things likethat.
But um yeah it was it was thetime and it was a good good to
come home after school orSaturday mornings and watch that
cartoon just yeah so Joe howmany slimes out of ten would you
(44:04):
rate this man again that's hardbecause I don't want to be like
I'm gonna call it Dave's pizzaum man well if I may I think I
might I would probably sayprobably seven out of ten.
Dylan (44:24):
Okay.
You know I would not call itthe best it's definitely seen
some age to it now but yeah it'sdefinitely a great way to get
kids like more into like ghostsand stuff and more of the
paranormal opening that door.
Joe (44:41):
Yeah I think I mean you know I I think it's all opinion
but I think I I think I couldshow kids you know you know if I
had kids I would show my kidsthis movie.
Yeah you know I'd sit next tothem and explain things but
right you know it just I mean Iwatched it as a kid and I didn't
turn into Peter Venckman orwhatever.
I'm I if I like here's a goodquestion and I'm gonna I'll
(45:04):
answer I'll give you my answerbut you can you can think of
one.
If you were one of theGhostbusters um out of Peter Ray
Egon or Winston who who wouldyou be more like um I think I
need to look at the I think Ineed to look at the MGD so Peter
(45:29):
is the college scientist who uhuh does the testing at the
beginning who ends up with Danabut oh then Ray is is the
innocent let's try the flagpoleor the fire pole out uh Egon is
the you know probably thesmarter of all and is the you
(45:51):
know main scientist yeah youknow um and then Winston uh he
comes in at uh at the midpointand is more of the kind of
everyman um I I feel like Icould see myself as several
different ones I think probablythe main ones would either be
(46:15):
Peter or Winston.
Dylan (46:16):
Okay kind of the more charismatic type.
Joe (46:20):
Yeah yeah yeah maybe more of a Peter but I don't know he's
more of a I don't know I don'tknow how it I could be Lewis I'm
just kidding hey guys he keepsgetting locked out yeah I think
(46:43):
uh I think I'm a Ray I I thinkum it's kind of like you know if
we ever get to Harry Potter youknow being put in a certain
house you know like a Ravenclawyeah I'm a Ray uh more of a kind
of innocent you know believebeliever kind of like you know
this is all happening this isall you know yeah coming up with
(47:07):
a stay puff you know that kindof thing um yeah because yeah I
mean Peter's kind of a skepticif you think about it like he's
he's you know but right becausehe starts off the movie but not
believing yeah yeah and then hehe himself gets convinced uh I
(47:33):
love that line where she's likeare you sure you're using this
equipment right he's like Idon't know yeah when he's
sitting there just just pumpingthe little hand thing yeah
they're at the fridge just likeare you sure you're using this
equipment right I don't know sohow is the rewatch value for you
(47:56):
oh it's it to me it's it's likeit's one of those movies you
can have uh you know in thebackground and you can jump in
at any time yeah um I I thinkI've watched it so much having
it on like that because it itjust it on cable you know it's
one of those things you show upand you turn your you know you
(48:18):
know you show up people box yeahor you're at a hotel and you
turn the TV on and you know it'sit's playing it's you know yeah
when they just you know inOctober when um you're having
your horror movies or your youknow Halloween movies spooky
season yeah spooky season it'son so yeah definitely
rewatchable um and uh as far asslimes uh I think I give it an
(48:45):
eight yeah yeah yeah it'sdifferent when you've grown up
with it and it's you know partof part of your world oh please

the socials and links toeverything.
That's all for this week andremember when somebody asks you
if you're a god you say yeah
What they do with that too is the bag's setting there with
the eggs.
Dylan (00:03):
Yeah.
Joe (00:04):
But as the eggs are cracking and all that, it's
zooming into that logo.
It's zooming into that bag too.
Dylan (00:10):
Oh, welcome to Have You Seen the Movie Podcast, where
(00:36):
every movie is a premiere.
Joe (00:38):
This week we're crossing the streams and diving into the
movie that made ghosts funny.
Ghostbusters.
Dylan (00:45):
This week's movie, Ghostbusters, is Rated PG.
If you're not ready for someslime screams and serious
proton-packed power, maybe tunein next week.
Pretty much the only thing thatI like solidly would remember
just even before watching themovie is definitely like the
iconic logo from going intoUniversals, you know, definitely
(01:07):
the firehouse.
Yeah.
And then also the song.
Because I, you know, you can'tyou can't go anywhere and not
hear that song.
Joe (01:18):
Yeah.
Any Halloween party that you'regonna go to, you're gonna hear
it.
If you're going to an 80sparty, you're gonna hear it.
Right.
Uh it's probably one of themost iconic.
When we get there, I'll explaina little more about the song.
Dylan (01:31):
Okay.
Joe (01:32):
Three out-of-work scientists start a get ghost
catching business andaccidentally become New York's
last hope against a giantmarshmallow good.
Dylan (01:44):
So were did you watch this movie like when it first
came out?
Joe (01:48):
Um, I may have.
I don't remember watching it atthe theater, but we would go to
the theater a lot, and that waspretty much the only option at
the time.
Yeah.
Um, I remember it was, youknow, a huge cultural thing, you
know.
Yeah.
It was just, yeah, it waseverywhere, the song was
(02:09):
everywhere.
Um, I mean, it was a good timefor music anyway.
Right.
Um, my my biggest memory ofthat was my aunt would take me
to um the bookstore with her,and she was an avid reader.
Yeah.
So I'd go and you know, look atlook at different books and
(02:29):
kids' books and stuff like that.
And I remember her buying methe Ghostbusters picture book.
And and it came with stickersand uh, you know, all that kind
of stuff.
And it was basically, you know,a paraphrase of the whole
movie.
So but it had like really goodpictures.
I wish I I had it.
I mean, my mom's might have itsomewhere, but yeah, it was
(02:52):
really cool.
And I remember that being kindof a uh what do you call it?
The uh inside out uh corememory.
Yeah, it's a core memory.
It's a core memory.
Because I remember sitting onthe floor in the bookstore in
the corner looking at it.
Oh, really?
She was like, You you know, doyou want me to buy you that like
kind of thing?
And I was like, Yeah, you know,so I can't.
(03:12):
That's awesome.
Dylan (03:14):
So that's so cute.
Yeah.
So do you still feel like themovie holds up as well as it
did?
Joe (03:21):
I think so.
You know, um, there areobviously some uh Spielberg
talked about this.
Um you never want to go back onwhat you did, you know, you
never want to go back and kindof like what Lucas did, and he
he redid, you know, a lot ofStar Wars effects and and you
(03:42):
know, that kind of stuff.
Right.
And you never want to go backand fix that, but you know,
there are some pop-out thingsthat because they used animation
and they used um uh paintingson glass to make the buildings
look bigger, or uh the whole youknow, the buildings on there
were uh you know extended in thesky or things like that.
(04:07):
Yeah.
And it there subtle things wereespecially in the 4K, that's
what we watch today.
Um, you could see it more.
It's like the better theresolution, the more you could
see things stand out.
Right, you know, and it'salmost working backwards in a
way, you know.
Dylan (04:24):
Yeah, so yeah, I think like out of that, like the
biggest thing that I noticed outof all of it, and that I even
comment commented to you like inthe time was the the dogs, like
when they were like really, youknow, running for lack of a
better term, like it showed somuch in the CGI, yeah.
Joe (04:48):
And you know, it was a mix of practical effects and it was
a mix of, you know, umanimation.
Yeah, you know, so it it wasyou know hand drawn and all
that, and then so you could seewhen the beast is, you know,
like so there's that point whereI'm trying to remember his
name, Rick Moranis is running aaround the city, yeah, and you
(05:13):
see the you know the the statuerunning after him, and so you
see him running, and then it itlooks animated, but then when
it's at a standstill, it's thisbeasty, big, huge, burly, you
know.
It's like if they could onlyhave figured out how to make
them run in in real life and getreal lighting and and all that,
(05:35):
but there's just a little bitof you know that so all those
were like hand-drawn?
From what I from what I'veheard, yeah.
Really?
Yeah, because the they're thefirst CG in a movie was um uh I
can't remember what it's called,but it basically there's a
scene where there's a uh stainedglass window and it's of a a
(06:00):
night, and the night pops out ofthe stained glass and becomes
this like uh yeah, yeah.
And that and I can't rememberall the facts of when it
happened.
Dylan (06:10):
I can look it up while we're talking, but um, that was
the first CG, and and then evenin Tron there was a little bit
of CG, but right, because Tron,I was I was reading the other
day that Tron was like the firstlike big use of it of computer
generated, yeah, and um it wouldit lost out on like awards and
(06:34):
stuff because they what was itit because they didn't know like
how to categorize it?
Categorize it, yeah.
And so like with how kind ofbig the first Tron was and it
lost out on those awards, kindof crazy, yeah.
Joe (06:56):
So as far as uh comparison of or expectations of horror
versus comedy, how how much doyou feel like you what was met?
Dylan (07:07):
I feel like the like the opening part of it with the
librarian like was a lot scarierthan the rest of the like yeah,
it was honestly one of the mostscariest parts in the whole
movie, but then um like lateron, like Slimer was that was
(07:28):
just funny, and with like goingback to like the opening with
the librarian and stuff, evenwhen they go back to the library
and the Ghostbusters like startto hunt down the librarian,
then it like the the pop out oflike the scary face that you
(07:52):
know made them all run out ofthe building screaming, yeah.
That was funny, yeah.
Joe (07:57):
Yeah, and that that I think I talked about it oh one of one
of the previous ones, but thatoriginal um uh shot or that
original um makeup effect waswas actually supposed to be
scarier and it ended up in inthe movie Fright Night.
Oh yeah, yeah, because um sothere was like more more mangly
(08:22):
teeth and it was more demonicand it's really it was just way
more intense, and so theychanged it to be what it was,
yeah.
Because uh, and then in themovie Fright Night, uh there's a
scene where the girlfriendchanges into a vampire.
Spoiler alert, and uh that wasthe effect that they were
originally gonna use in inGhostbusters, um, which is kind
(08:46):
of a cool um crossover kind ofthing, yeah.
Uh pretty cool, cool throwbackto it.
Dylan (08:52):
Yeah.
That's that's reallyinteresting because the like
having the if that were to belike that super scary, and then
have the rest of the movie likeit definitely leans towards the
like paranormal comedy side ofit, yeah, than like the
(09:17):
paranormal horror side of it.
That's a big difference, yeah.
And so that would definitelykind of be almost like a jarring
turn, like for the movie, yeah,is that like you watch it and
you're you're thinking, okay,this is how all of the ghost
interactions are going to be.
(09:37):
Like, I'm gonna have to preparemyself, yeah.
And then, you know, just a nottoo much longer later, um,
they're chasing around uh, youknow, the the slimer in the
hotel who's just eatingeverything.
Yeah, right.
Joe (09:53):
Yeah.
Um yeah, and I guess they theyreferred to that as the John
Belushi um uh uh what did theycall it?
The John Belushi ghost becauseuh so they do they they made it
to look as like a tribute toJohn Belushi because in the
(10:14):
movie Animal House um he ate alot of food and he was like
pigging out and and stuff likethat.
So they kind of wanted thattribute to John Belushi because
he had passed like before themovie had started.
Yeah.
And so they they wanted to makeit a tribute to him.
Oh, interesting.
Dylan (10:35):
Yeah, and it's funny too, like with like Bill Murray as
Venckman, like the just the justthe deadpan that he like what
he would you say, like performsthe lines with, yeah.
Like just the deadpan of that,yeah.
Like it's like supposed to bethis like funny line, and he's
(10:59):
just so monotone about it.
Right.
Joe (11:02):
Yeah, he's so he's such a his monologue in the in the um
the mayor's office is so greatbecause he starts to like you
know, he's um she calls him uh auh TV show host or something
like that.
(11:22):
Yeah.
And and but he's more like aused car salesman when he gets
in there and he starts to sellit, and it's almost like he's
the way it's written and theway, you know, I guess I heard
that he he had ad-libbed most ofhis lines anyway.
Oh really?
So yeah, so all the likeanything that was written, he
would just ad-lib and embellishon what was written.
(11:46):
Yeah, and so you just in thatin that scene, you could just
see it in his eyes and and justthings changing around to where
you know he's he's selling thisto the mayor, like, hey, you
know, at first it's like tryingto get out of the hole that
they're in, but then he turns itaround and it's just like, hey,
you're gonna be the savior ofthe city, you know, and even the
(12:09):
cardinal or whatever that guywas was like nodding, like,
yeah, like I see where you'regoing with this, right?
So um that character wasactually originally written for
John Belushi, but he passedbefore the movie could could uh
so he's Jake in um BluesBrothers.
So in the Blues Brothers,there's Jake in Elwood, which is
(12:31):
Dan Aykroyd, and John Belushi.
And um, and he and John Belushiplayed Jake in the Blues
Brothers.
So it was supposed to be amovie done after the Blues
Brothers, yeah, that they weretrying to uh Dan Aykroyd
originally came up with.
Um, and Dan Aykroyd had theidea of like paranormal because
(12:51):
he studied the paranormal andand his family had like all this
all these books and things likethat of of the paranormal.
So he always had an obsessionwith it.
Yeah.
Um, but there was an originalmovie called The Ghostbusters
that um was like, I don't know,in the 40s or something like
that.
Uh this isn't this isn'tcontent for perfect history of
(13:12):
his thing.
But it was based on that andkind of wanted to be slapstick,
but also wanted to be, you know,that that paranormal, like
slapstick funny.
So um, yeah, he his hischaracter was originally gonna
be John Belushi, uh, the actorJohn Belushi.
(13:33):
Um and then Dan Aykroyd andHara Ramus in it.
Dylan (13:39):
Um definitely the the the perfect like geek duos.
Yeah, they are.
Joe (13:45):
And and one is what I like about Ray Dan Aykroyd is that he
has this like innocence abouthim and this this kind of
purity, yeah, of like he's justuh he's just he's like he's just
a believer, you know.
Like he just he just knows thatthis is happening, and like you
know uh Pete uh Peter and umBankman are down trying to
(14:12):
haggle with the salesperson, andall he's worried is like, have
you seen this poll?
You guys try this fireball thenyou guys gotta try this, you
know.
Yep, and so she's gonna be alittle bit more.
Right, right.
Dylan (14:26):
She had him at that point.
She was like, Well, you'retaking it regardless.
Joe (14:30):
Yeah, he goes and gets the Ecto one and he's all happy.
And yeah, you know, likePeter's like, Oh man, you're
spending all this money, youknow, $4,500.
Like, that was a lot for thattime.
Yeah.
For a wrecked up car.
Dylan (14:43):
I was gonna say uh every everything on it needed to be
repaired.
Yeah, yeah.
Joe (14:49):
I don't know if I would pay forty five dollars forty five
hundred dollars now for that inthat condition, you know.
Maybe I would because of whatthe car is, but I think we have
ghosts in here right now.
Dylan (15:03):
I think so.
But yeah, with with um with howthat car is too, like it's such
an icon of the whole franchiseas well.
And like you definitely likerecognize it whenever you walk
around and stuff, yeah.
Joe (15:24):
Um living in California, I worked in Chatsworth and I used
to drive by a place wherethere's actually a DeLorean
dealership, yeah.
And then there was anotherplace that had star cars there,
and I would see the Ecto onethere all the time.
Oh, it was totally cool.
Like, yeah, living out there,you could see things that you
(15:48):
just it's like okay, there's anEcto one.
Right where I went to collegedown the road, there was a uh
filming like uh Western uhfilming place, yeah, and the
owner owned a General Lee fromuh uh Dukes at Hazard.
So you'd be at school, and thenall of a sudden you just see a
(16:10):
General Lee driving down theroad, you know?
It's like okay, all theseiconic cars, just you know,
daily drivers.
Yeah, who does that, you know?
Dylan (16:19):
That's so funny.
Joe (16:21):
But yeah, it Ecto 1 is definitely iconic.
I mean, there's so many partsand pieces to to put on there
that it takes a lot to puttogether.
I mean, that's a character inthe movie in itself.
Yeah, yeah.
Dylan (16:35):
It's so funny that like the the EPA is like kind of the
the bad guy movie environmentalprotection, right?
Yeah, and like he's definitelyhe's definitely just a punchable
villain, yeah.
Joe (16:55):
Like yeah, I guess whenever he would walk around New York,
people would yell at him and andreally, yeah, um and yell
profanities and refer to themovie.
I'm not gonna say it, but ofwhat they called him in it.
Um, so it was kind of hard hardfor him to walk around New
(17:16):
York.
Um but with uh SigourneyWeaver, it was such a good
chance for her to get into acomedy because she had done
nothing but like straight rolesand serious roles.
But you know, sorry JenniferLawrence, but she is Sigourney
(17:37):
Weaver is one of the first uhlead female action heroes uh you
know in film.
Like she because she was shewas an alien in aliens first.
Oh yeah, so she was an alienbefore this, and you know, she
kicked butt, you know.
Yeah.
So like um, yeah, so for her toget a part in as a damsel in
(18:03):
distress is just you know adifferent different uh kind of
different role for her, but shewas pretty awesome.
I mean, she she played kind ofthe like if you looked at the
old, I don't know, even if youlooked at um the three stooges,
there was sometimes someone inthe mix that was the straight
role, and so you have thesebumbling dudes, and then you
(18:26):
have this right kind of the youknow, and and she was that for
you know for them.
Like she was the serious like,hey guys, let's get it together,
you know.
Dylan (18:36):
Yeah.
Well, and like throughout likethe movie overall, like the with
like the trying to blend thecomedy and paranormal, it
definitely like starts off supertrying, like trying to be more
paranormal horror, and then I'velike I feel like after the kind
(19:01):
of the library scene,everything that's when it shifts
into just more of the comedystuff, and I feel like with me,
I felt like that was prettynoticeable, uh-huh.
Like watching it, is that itwas trying to be this darker,
scarier, and then all of asudden, you know, they're
(19:23):
running screaming out of thelibrary, yeah, and then that's
when everything just shifts.
Joe (19:28):
Yeah, and it yeah, it's funny how they they kind of um
they do that, they kind of buildit that way.
But you know, the the at thecore of it, it is the hey, we're
building a business here, andso they kind of show like, you
know, if you're building abusiness, the ins and outs that
you go through when you're youare building a business, because
(19:50):
like, hey, I haven't done, youknow, like I I had a carpet
cleaning business, like, okay, Idon't know what problems I'm
gonna I'm gonna run into, yeah,but I gotta prepare for all this
and I just gotta act on thefly.
And so it's hilarious whenthey're you know, they're in
they're in that first scene andthey're just like, what do we
do?
I don't know.
And then he's like, follow me,guys, just just do what I do,
(20:13):
and they're like, okay, youknow, yeah, they did her.
Dylan (20:18):
They definitely do a good job of that throughout the
whole movie.
Of in the in the like beginningof it, is they're trying to
just figure things out as theygo, and it shows throughout the
movie of when they're going intoa place becoming more
professional, if you will,because I don't think
(20:38):
confidence, right?
Confidence, that's what it is,because it's not
professionalism.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joe (20:44):
Finkman is not the most professional.
Dylan (20:46):
No, and it it was so funny, like when after the
meeting with the mayor, and heknew he he had it, and just the
show boating to the crowdbefore.
Joe (20:57):
Yeah.
It's so but the cool thing toois like they show Dana and she's
you know, she's watching themgrow, and she's you know, they
show her working out andwatching TV, and there's
different ads that come up, andthey show the montage of of
newspapers, and and she it seemslike she's getting more
attracted to Peter because ofit, because it's like, oh, he's
like a rock star.
(21:18):
Yeah, this is not what Iexpected.
And uh, and so like, yeah, soit does show like it it's that
confidence building, especiallywhen you start to run your
business and you know whatyou're doing and you have a
regular rhythm.
Any profession, you're justlike you start off going, oh
what you know, what what do Ineed to know?
(21:39):
And even though you've beeneducated in this field or you
have an idea, it's not until youhit that that pavement that you
start to get your groove, andyou know, it's just yeah, so it
it's a good especially on thatside of things, like just it's
good.
Um you know, and then they haveto uh they get so many uh so
(22:05):
much work that they have to addemployees, they add the
secretary, and um, and then theErnie Hudson character comes in,
and he was originally writtenfor um for Eddie Murphy.
Dylan (22:17):
Uh oh really, yeah, okay.
I could definitely see that.
Yeah.
But he's definitely the theunsung unsung hero of the group
right there.
Yeah.
Joe (22:28):
But you know, I I feel like his character is really good at
at being the the audience insome ways, because you kind of
you're this person that'sjumping in and then taking a
ride, and then he's he'sspeaking like, hey, you know,
when he tells the mayor, he'slike, Hey, I I've seen some
(22:51):
stuff that that'll turn youwhite, right?
That's like the best, one ofthe best lines.
That whole scene for me is isis what makes that sells up for
yeah.
Yeah, because he's just youknow, he's ready to kick butt.
And you know, yeah.
Dylan (23:10):
Well, and even even with like when he's going in to the
secretary and she's interviewinghim, and he's he's talking and
she's she's listening to thethings like, Do you believe in
these?
Yeah, he's like, I'll believein whatever you tell me.
Joe (23:30):
Yeah, if it pays enough, yeah.
And then they walk in and he'slike looking at them, and
they're just all covered in gooand whatnot.
Dylan (23:40):
Right.
The ecdote.
Joe (23:41):
Like, all right, you're hired.
Dylan (23:44):
Right, go help him, go help him with this.
Joe (23:46):
Yeah.
Dylan (23:48):
So and the so going back to touching on the score and the
theme song, like it's such a uhhuge still is a huge like pop
culture kind of big player,especially around like Halloween
(24:08):
and stuff, right?
Joe (24:10):
Yeah.
So that song, um I guess hewrote it, so um you know, he was
a he was a big writer of othersongs, and he had other bands
and things like that.
Um so Ray Parker Jr.
is his name, and he had a bandcalled Radio, like R-A-Y-D-O,
(24:33):
you know, radio, and then hewent on his own and was doing
just music on his own and thingslike that.
And so he he was he was awell-known name before that.
Um, but he had like not verylong to write this song, and he
was inspired by watching TV.
And at night, you'd have thesein you know, infomercials or
(24:55):
commercials on, you know, fromuh you know, bug company
plumbing you know, on all thatstuff.
Hey, call this number, youknow.
And so that there was somethingthat said who you're gonna
call.
And so from that, he he startedto write, you know, okay, the
story of of the Ghostbusters andyou know, all that kind of, you
(25:17):
know, and so he he wanted that,like if you if you were writing
a jingle for a for acommercial, and so that it it
has that, you know, if there'ssomething strange in the
neighborhood, who are you gonnacall?
Right.
Um, I mean you can think ofthink of other ads that are like
that that are kind of likestick in your brain, um,
(25:38):
plumbing or heating, or youknow, all those other, and so
that's kind of where he wasgoing.
The problem was that he mayhave unknowingly uh stole the
rhythm and backtrack to anothersong.
Oh, yeah.
So there's a call, the songcalled uh Want a New Drug, I
(26:00):
Want a New Drug from Huey Lewisin the news.
Okay, and it has the same exactuh da da da da da da and it
kind of like kind of stuffbehind it.
And you can compare them andthey're pretty close.
Yeah.
So they there was um a lawsuitthat happened in the 80s, and
they basically said, Okay, we'regonna settle, but the the deal
(26:23):
is like we can't talk about it,or you can't talk about how the
case was, you know, settled orwhatever.
And so, like, long long storyshort, what ended up happening
is like on VH1, they were doingthese like um behind the music
kind of things, and they got toHuey Lewis in the news, and he
kind of accidentally divulgedthe the stuff of the case.
(26:47):
So then, like, I guess RayParker Jr.
ended up getting more moneyfrom it because um they they
weren't supposed to talk aboutit, so there was this like there
was this like you you weren'tsupposed to talk about the case
or how much you made or blahblah blah, and so like because
Huey Lewis talked about it,yeah, he breached the contract,
and and then Ray Parker Jr.
(27:08):
ended up getting getting moremoney, but uh yeah, so that was
an accidental uh you know kindof case that happened, but they
both, you know, I think they'reboth getting money from either
the original song orGhostbusters, and yeah, you
know, so and there's been a lotof um in music where uh you know
(27:31):
Michael Jackson uh told uhHollow Notes that he stole the
bass line from um from one oftheir songs for like beat it or
something, and and they're like,Okay, you know, yeah, they're
just like we don't hear it, butthat's fine, you know.
That's funny.
They're like, Well, we don'trecognize that, but if you say
(27:52):
so, if you say so, yeah, goodfor you, you know.
But some other people just youknow aren't that way, and we'll
talk more about Hugh Lewis whenwe go through Back to the
Future.
Dylan (28:06):
So do you think your favorite scene from like overall
for the whole movie is in themayor's office, that scene?
Man.
Like if you if you had to pickone scene.
Joe (28:24):
I think the funniest line for me is the is that you know,
uh, it's gonna be it's gonna bea biblical proportions, and then
you know, they're they all havetheir own line, and then Bill
Murray's like cats and dogssleeping together, it just
always makes me laugh becauseit's like if you read the book
of Revelation, it has all thesethings and it talks about the
(28:46):
lion, the lion and the lamb andall these, you know, kind of
like more uh like more uh uh youknow, more of those types of
things happening, but like tome, cats and dogs sleeping
together, it's like that thatalready happens, you know.
It's just funny, and likethat's gonna be the you know the
end times.
(29:07):
The end times, yeah.
The end times when cats anddogs are sleeping together,
that's it.
Yeah, so that's funny.
Dylan (29:17):
I would say, like, for me, it would be a toss-up
between um the when thecontainment unit explodes.
Oh, yeah, that's a good shot.
Yeah.
And like when they you knowpull back and and show it from
far away, and see the you seethe top of the roof exploding
and all of the I was gonna sayzombies, all of the ghosts,
(29:42):
yeah, you know, come pouring outof the top of it, and you're
like, hmm, this is not gonna begood.
Joe (29:48):
Yeah, and I I just noticed that scene, just all the
explosions and the practicaleffects of them running out and
everything.
Yeah.
And and Rick Moranis is sobehind because he's still in
character.
Dylan (30:00):
character right and it's like man dude you're gonna get
burned you know like yeah yeahthey do he definitely definitely
sold that or when like the topof the building pretty much like
explodes outwards with all ofthe the fire effects like super
awesome shot like they justdon't they just don't do that
(30:22):
anymore so and I think like forme like I think when when the
stay puff comes out and it justcomes again from Ray's innocence
yeah that's it's like it's likewe we could not die from from
the stay puff marshmallow manyeah because he's he's
(30:43):
essentially like the Michelinman and the and the Pillsbury
doughboy right now like rightPillsbury doughboy like you you
know you you press him and hedoes that you know you know how
could he kill anybody you knowand it's just like he comes out
in a rage and then he was astall as a skyscraper.
Joe (31:01):
Yeah I love his face when they start you know they start
going at it you know they'rethey're shooting him and he has
this like it's like oh man orlike another one of like the
most iconic not iconic anotherone of the most like memorable
(31:24):
memorable um scenes is whenthey're fighting Slimer and he
he goes right through him yeahand you like panda the shot of
he's like on his back can't getup it's like a turtle exactly
(31:45):
like struggling to get up andhe's like what happened he
slimed me yeah he slimed me yeahit's like they I guess they
said that the phrase slimerwasn't coined in the movie but I
did notice that so he said heslime me yeah and that's about
in that scene as much as theysay but I do notice that Dan
(32:07):
Aykroyd calls when I think it'sDan Aykroyd one of them when
they're referring to what's inthe chamber when he's giving um
um Winston when he's giving himthe lesson on how to do this
yeah he he says something aboutthere's ghosts and slimers in
there and I wonder if that'swhere it came from I don't know
(32:28):
for sure but I was like ohthat's the first time I remember
hearing that in the moviebecause a lot of people on that
yeah a lot of people be like ohwell the term slimer is not in
the movie but it is I was likehey it's right there got it it's
always good to watch rewatchand so yeah um the movie was
originally set in the future andI and I think of it like back
(32:50):
to the future kind of like backto future part two like you know
how everything's no which youfamously famously which is why
we're doing this right back tothe future part two there's all
these futuristic things or BladeRunner kind of thing and I
think the original thought ofhow this was going to be done
(33:10):
was just it's gonna befuturistic so you're gonna be
dropped into a world of alreadyhaving um ghostbusters and and
so it would be like if you werecalling the fire department or
you know the police right butlike like these Ghostbusters are
so established already like youjust you're getting dropped
(33:33):
into this world of here's what'shappening as opposed to here's
the start of it you know rightum so is it supposed to be like
just the whole thing is wassupposed to be set in the future
or is it like supposed to bethat like the characters get you
know transported to the futureno it was just going to be set
(33:54):
in the future to where there'salready an established
ghostbusting uh you know umbusiness or or whatever but it
but it sounded like more like itwas going to be more privatized
or not privatized but um likegovernment run or something like
that.
Yeah.
Like firefighters or you knowthat's kind of why they they
(34:16):
kind of did the firefighterthing and and had you know the
paramedic Ecto 1 and you knowall that kind of stuff.
Dylan (34:25):
So how like does it say somewhere like how big the stay
puffed suit actually was yeahman.
Because I noticed like in a lotof those shots like they
definitely use more of apractical model for that.
And so that would yeah it's asuit.
Joe (34:46):
Yeah it's it's a person in a suit.
Oh man and yeah it it was likelots of foam um there's a whole
behind the scenes on how theybuilt it yeah um and the what
they went through to create thewhat was on the page to what
came out really yeah huh Iactually thought of making one
(35:08):
at one point to that scale tothe scale yeah to the scale
because it it was just theperson and and they built the
you know miniatures around itbut um so uh yeah it could have
been could have been a normalsize person I can't remember but
it was definitely a suit andyou know they had it so that um
(35:30):
that's why it has the one faceyou know right it's almost like
building um uh mascot yeah yeahthat that was kind of the same
idea of how they do it becauseusually you form things in foam
right and then you cover it inin material fabric yeah whatever
(35:50):
you want and and so that's kindof the direction they went like
where the the head is just kindof a fiberglass I mean you if
you watch like the mass singernow there those things are
coming out every week becauseyou know those are the same it's
the same idea.
Dylan (36:05):
Yeah um because they it has two different heads or like
you know faces for it right yeahyeah so it's not like they had
to go through and and do a bunchof different faces for it but
yeah you can't you know cameralooks away and then when it
(36:26):
looks back that's when it hasthe different you know face.
Joe (36:29):
Right.
But they use three suits attwenty thousand dollars a piece
what yeah yeah that's crazy andI bet most of it was uh you know
labor because oh I'm surebecause you know it's foam and
fiberglass and material but thenyou have like the design and
(36:53):
yeah you know it's just I lovehow soft it looks yeah I know I
just want to squeeze it rightjust a big old bear hut I like
how in like the earlier scene ofthe movie when they first meet
Dana is that she has a bag yesof the stay puffed marshmallows
(37:15):
there's so many uh there's somany setups for that there's the
there's the bag in therethere's a lot of ads um there on
the building there's there's aoh really yeah there's there's a
building where it's like up inthe air and the ad is painted on
to the building oh really yeahoh there's just so many little
(37:37):
Easter eggs of of stay puff likethat's great yeah because it's
kind of internally getting youas like you know setting you up
for that like hey I'm in thisworld and this is right one of
the major um you know marketingads or major products that that
they have in their world um andso when it comes it's like oh
(38:03):
yeah and that's like I think oneof the first that that they
show is the bag because it's notonly that what they do with
that too is the bag settingthere with the eggs yeah but as
the eggs are cracking and allthat it's zooming into that logo
it's zooming into that bag toooh yeah yeah that's that's good
(38:26):
input right there because likeyou know you're watching the
eggs and they're they're fryingon the counter you know I'll
take mine poached please yeah soum but yeah it's it's zooming
in on the eggs and like in yourhead you're like oh her
groceries are just there on thecounter but in reality it's like
(38:46):
oh hey look at this yeah yeahyeah just with all of the all of
the merchandising for it andeven like I can't even say it's
revital revitalizingrevitalization like with the
(39:08):
movies that have come out morerecently but yeah it I think it
it's been pretty steady and yeahand like the whole the whole
culture of Ghostbusters has justbeen consistent.
Right um with Dan Aykroyd justbeing in different movies um
there was one so I guess in the90s they did uh Casper the
(39:33):
friendly ghost and he does acameo in there as Ray oh yeah he
comes out he's like I'm notdealing with that he goes so
there are so many things acrossthe culture like right now I'm
wearing a Ghostbuster shirt thatI bought Orlando and and it's
so cool that at UniversalOrlando not a plug but we go
(39:59):
because we love it um but thatthere's so many things uh of
Ghostbusters there and theystill they still have merch for
Ghostbusters yeah you know andand it and there was a time when
there was you know it was inthe theme park and there was a
show and you know obviously I Ihadn't gone but I always like to
(40:20):
visit that corner next to themummy where the firehouse is uh
like Rip Right Rocket would gothrough that.
Right.
And so and then in the backthere's the whole New York scene
and I guess they used to do akind of live show right there
but I always like to visit itbecause to me that's like the
Ghostbusters corner and I thinka lot of people want want that
(40:42):
nostalgia and they wantGhostbusters back.
Like they would love to it itwould be awesome if they would
have put like an Ecto one on theRip ride rocket and and just
made it a Ghostbusters ride youknow like maybe Slimer's chasing
after you and you're on theecto or yeah that would be
interesting that would be aninteresting spin on it yeah but
(41:04):
uh yeah and so from from the newmovies to that I mean I have a
proper or uh Halloween replicaof the of the um of the proton
pack of the proton pack um anduh yeah anytime I I you know I
work as a custodian at schooland I have my backpack vacuum on
(41:28):
I'm just I'm just aGhostbuster.
That's it you know some crunchyghosts there.
Dylan (41:36):
Yeah yeah but yeah like that's all I can think about is
when I think of Ghostbustersmerch and stuff as is at
Universal and just seeing iteverywhere and your t-shirt.
Joe (41:48):
And my t-shirt yeah yeah I love it um I've been meaning to
get one for a long time and uhyeah finally made it happen
finally made it happen but Inoticed too in the in the movie
with that the the ghost likelogo yeah I had I noticed that
they put it up on the on thebuilding front of the building
(42:11):
there they should have done thatin in the universal yeah yeah
they still should you know and Idon't know if they had before
but um yeah oh like back whenthey had the kind of this this
not stage show but the streetshow from Ghostbusters they
(42:31):
might have had out there Iremember growing up though there
were two so that originalGhostbusters movie like in the
40s for some reason the the Iforget what company it was they
came out with a Ghostbusterscartoon and then and then there
was a Ghostbusters cartoon basedon the movie and they called it
(42:55):
the real Ghostbusters and likethere was this back and forth of
cartoons of like because one ofthem was trying to capitalize
on the the Ghostbusters you knowthe 84 movie.
Right whereas like you knowthey were trying to just keep
pushing the 84 movie and andhave a kid's show you know and
that one was pretty cool becauselike there were other
(43:16):
storylines and like I mean Iremember one as a kid where they
went to this place where thingsgot lost and they like found
socks and stuff and it was likewhere are we?
Well you know when uh you knowwhen you lose your socks in the
dryer this is where it goes Imean just stuff like that.
(43:37):
It was like really coolstorylines and um you know other
other voices and things likethat.
But um yeah it was it was thetime and it was a good good to
come home after school orSaturday mornings and watch that
cartoon just yeah so Joe howmany slimes out of ten would you
(44:04):
rate this man again that's hardbecause I don't want to be like
I'm gonna call it Dave's pizzaum man well if I may I think I
might I would probably sayprobably seven out of ten.
Dylan (44:24):
Okay.
You know I would not call itthe best it's definitely seen
some age to it now but yeah it'sdefinitely a great way to get
kids like more into like ghostsand stuff and more of the
paranormal opening that door.
Joe (44:41):
Yeah I think I mean you know I I think it's all opinion
but I think I I think I couldshow kids you know you know if I
had kids I would show my kidsthis movie.
Yeah you know I'd sit next tothem and explain things but
right you know it just I mean Iwatched it as a kid and I didn't
turn into Peter Venckman orwhatever.
I'm I if I like here's a goodquestion and I'm gonna I'll
(45:04):
answer I'll give you my answerbut you can you can think of
one.
If you were one of theGhostbusters um out of Peter Ray
Egon or Winston who who wouldyou be more like um I think I
need to look at the I think Ineed to look at the MGD so Peter
(45:29):
is the college scientist who uhuh does the testing at the
beginning who ends up with Danabut oh then Ray is is the
innocent let's try the flagpoleor the fire pole out uh Egon is
the you know probably thesmarter of all and is the you
(45:51):
know main scientist yeah youknow um and then Winston uh he
comes in at uh at the midpointand is more of the kind of
everyman um I I feel like Icould see myself as several
different ones I think probablythe main ones would either be
(46:15):
Peter or Winston.
Dylan (46:16):
Okay kind of the more charismatic type.
Joe (46:20):
Yeah yeah yeah maybe more of a Peter but I don't know he's
more of a I don't know I don'tknow how it I could be Lewis I'm
just kidding hey guys he keepsgetting locked out yeah I think
(46:43):
uh I think I'm a Ray I I thinkum it's kind of like you know if
we ever get to Harry Potter youknow being put in a certain
house you know like a Ravenclawyeah I'm a Ray uh more of a kind
of innocent you know believebeliever kind of like you know
this is all happening this isall you know yeah coming up with
(47:07):
a stay puff you know that kindof thing um yeah because yeah I
mean Peter's kind of a skepticif you think about it like he's
he's you know but right becausehe starts off the movie but not
believing yeah yeah and then hehe himself gets convinced uh I
(47:33):
love that line where she's likeare you sure you're using this
equipment right he's like Idon't know yeah when he's
sitting there just just pumpingthe little hand thing yeah
they're at the fridge just likeare you sure you're using this
equipment right I don't know sohow is the rewatch value for you
(47:56):
