Speaker 2 (00:18):
March.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Job everybody, welcome to the bonus episode for the month
of July. We are doing Ghostbusters. I'm sorry to ghost Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I can't believe you if I'm lusting makes me feel.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Good, Brosky. This is this is like one of the biggest,
like mean topics since the beginning of the podcast. Brian
not seeing Ghostbusters? Am I right?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I mean, I think it's like a kid not watching
w w F. Come on, I think it's I think
I think it's up there. Yes, I am theories, we'll
get it. I could have. I could have skipped this
and said I've seen it so many times, why watch
it back? For his combo me too. I watched it though,
me too, Me too, And I will say without The
(01:10):
only thing in my opinion that does not hold up
is some of the animation of the fucking terror dog.
When he's like chasing Lewis Tully.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
It looks like he's made of clay. But that's how
they probably did it right.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Right when you find out that the movie was made
on a thirty million budget, which is like so small,
made three hundred million, like you understand four. Yeah, nineteen
eighty four. Special effects that was fucking great.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
And the practical effects. We'll get into it, but I
think that's what makes the movie. Like the eggs cracking
that was CGI now, which I'm sure it would be
it would look CGI. Yeah, that was a practical effect.
All the cars come out of the car catalog. It's
a practical effect that really happened, like it wasn't CGI.
They figured out how to make it happen.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
They put a little they put a little explosion in
the egg, pressed a button. All right, but let's not.
We can't bury the lead here. Everybody wants to fucking
know for years, four years, Brian, you gotta see Ghostbusters. Brian,
what did you think.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
You really want to like get into it like that.
I just gonna say, let me, I would say, let
me just state my claim. You say, nineteen eighty four. Yes,
I'm born in nineteen eighty five. I'm gonna blame my
brother because he's a nineteen eighty birthday. Everything that I
was younger, that I attached onto was through him. And
I have zero recollection of Ghostbusters. There was no Ghostbuster
(02:37):
toys in my house. There was no Uh, we didn't
watch the cartoon. What I don't recall watching this movie
on television ever in my life. So, and I'm gonna
blame it all on him, but I'm not mad at
him because I wasn't so thrilled with the movie.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Oh no, oh no, oh no, we're here talking out loud.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I want you guys to start off by saying your
earliest memories of this movie, because it's before you guys
are born too.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
So explain well, Mark's Mark's fucking forties. He was alive,
Marks and College came out.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I mean, I was one years old when you were.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I you were in your dorm room with Jay Silverberger
and Molly Allen.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I was not born when it came out. And honestly,
I don't recall if I saw the movie first or
the real Ghosts cartoon. But my earliest memory.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
When does that cartoon come out?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I don't even know. It's eight eighty eight.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I got it. I got it, And the cartoon is
absolutely just the idea of the cartoon is insane when
you when you think about it, it's it was like
seven seasons, one hundred and forty episodes.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
In nineteen eighty six, Ghostbusters Animated television series Real Ghost
Person ran for one hundred and forty episodes over seven
seasons across six years, and there was a spinoff, Slimer
comic Slimer series, and then you.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Never fucking drank Ecdo Cooler as a kid.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
That Yeah, you go to a birthday party or someone's
house after school and they have it. But that's a
fucking douice box.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
It's not like that's how popular Ghostbusters was. He's not
the fucking me.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Was, Dude. I said this all the time. The first
time I ever fucking met Papa Bear Paul, I asked
to go to the bathroom in my pre K class
and the teacher was walking in the bathroom and he
was shoot in the hallways patrolling. It wasn't Halloween, by
the way, that full jumpsuit and the fucking backpack in
the gimmick patrolling the holes for ghosts. The first time
(04:30):
I remember seeing him before, I said it to his
mom a couple of years ago. He wouldn't take that
fucking thing off.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Well, yeah, he's a big ghost guy.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Before we get to Brian Brusky, throw down all your nostalgia,
the memory how you got to.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I don't recall if I saw the movie first or
the cartoon. But I was obsessed. I had all the toys.
I watched the cartoon, drank at the cooler, had the
fucking jumpsuit, had the fucking pro Tom pack, the trap,
the pik E meter, I had it all. I was
just fucking obsessed with it. I saw Ghostbusters two in
(05:04):
the theater vividly remember seeing in the theater.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
When did that come out?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Eighty nine? Like I remember seeing Batman eighty nine in
the theater. So like those memories I have even watching
back this how crazy it is. I was watching it
back last night, and like I remember on my VHS
that I recorded off TV, Like I remembered where the
commercial breaks were. Okay, here's the commercial break, here's the
commercial is where they go to commercial break. Like that's
(05:31):
how many times I watched this VHS that my parents
taped off TV for me. Oh yeah, what about you, Mark?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, I saw two first, So I watched the cartoon
and then I saw two first in the theaters my
parents' radiots, and uh so then you know, at some
point I watched the VHS, probably rented it or watched
it on TV of one, and then me and My
brother owned both VHS's and would watch them over and
over again, and that the toys. To me, we're both.
(06:03):
I mean, you know, the technically the toys were the cartoon,
but you know it was the same thing, it was
the same world. It was.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I didn't realize that's the one. You said that a
couple of weeks ago, that yeah, there is no like,
there is no toys, there's no vintage choice for this
movie and it and after watching it, it's like, it's
not a kids movie at all.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
No, it's it doesn't become a kid's movie. First of all,
it's supposed to be like a joke. It's not supposed
to be like this. You know, it's supposed to be
like an adult comedy. But they didn't realize that kids
would love that funny either, So I don't know what
it's interesting. I was dying like yeah, because he was
fucking like Chris Farley like this weird space to me, like,
(06:41):
I don't know what. I think.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
That's what makes it so great because it's it's not
just a stupid comedy. I'm saying, it's not just a
stupid comedy. It's an actual good movie. That's that's funny.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I mean, if you think about it, think it's supposed
to be. It's written as a comedy and the big
heel at the end is a fucking walking giant marshmallow man.
But the way it's presented, it's like scary and not funny,
and as a kid, it's like petrifying.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
That was after all these years, you know, I've seen
that staypuff marshmallow man and you know, toy stores and everything.
But if they get some kind of explanation as to
why that is was interesting after all these.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Years, it was just his stupid dot which was great. Yeah,
but real quick on the what I remember too, you know,
obviously similar stuff to you. I watched it a lot,
But one thing that really stuck out to me is
growing up in Massachusetts, my only knowledge of New York
City was through the Ghostbusters, and I remember we went
(07:41):
on a trip to New York. It was like with
my mom and like her work or something, and I
made the entire group go to the out of the
way to go to the library so I could see
the the the statues outside of the library. You know.
Oh yes, because one of the first shots is that
swinging shot around the lion in front of the library,
New York.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
How about pretty much anything outside is New York, but
everything inside La.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Yes, yes, oh yeah, that was even like the hotel, well,
the hotel is in LA We just stayed for wrestled.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Comm Yeah, so I got I saw right away, right.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
My other memories of the movie is that at Universal
Studios there was a Ghostbusters like show, which has since
you know, it's so crazy to me, how like now
you think of Ghostbusters, it's like timeless, it's nostalgic. But
like in nineteen ninety five, they're like, oh, this movie
is old. We got to get rid of it. You know,
it's crazy. I think anything works, but it's it's it's
(08:42):
crazy how something's come back as timeless though you know.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Well people going nuts of American Gladiators, right, But like
I think fucking Netflix series is sure.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
But for instance, though, what what replaced Ghostbusters was fucking Twister?
Has Twister stood the No, that's just old, you know
what I'm saying, Like some things fucking live on, like
find another life. You know, I don't know if Twister's
gonna find another life.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
If they if they make a Netflix stock about the
drama behind making Twister I'm sure it could give it
some life. It's just that's the way pop culture seems
to work.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
What really broke my heart is that, I know, you guys, well,
Mark is more a theme park guy. Like that. The firehouse.
They had a whole firehouse there and it's still up
at Universal, but they took down the sign and one
of the roller coasters just goes right fucking through it.
They like, it's still standard. You can't unless you know
it's the Ghosts Firehuse. It just looks like a firehouse.
And they do have Mark. They have the library there,
(09:39):
like it's it's right there.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
I went to Universal in the nineties. I don't remember
this at all.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Well, it wasn't very popular. If you watch it on YouTube,
it's fucking awesome, like the technology, Like I wish they
would bring it back.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Yeah, there's no Ghostbuster representation there at.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
All, right now, No, of course they have tons of
merch and she's like, but that's it. And they had
it for They do Halloween horrorites every year and a
couple of years ago they built a Halloween Horronit's house
that they broke down. My other memory is that, like,
you know, as you're a kid, like you don't you
can't watch at least me. I thought it was too
(10:16):
cool for like Ghostbusters in like second and third, fourth,
so I wasn't like watching or certainly not playing with
the toys anymore, you know. And then it wasn't until
DVDs came out and you were able to buy like
dv because back in the you couldn't like just go
in and buy you know, ghost It wasn't you know
how v DVDs were crazy, You buy any movie you
wanted on.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Dv Yeah, I feel like VHS era, like if you
didn't get it when it came out, it was gone
and then like something.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yeah, So I got Ghostbusters one of the first DVDs
I got, and it was the first time I watched.
I wasn't an adult, I was a teenager maybe ninth grade,
and I got all the adult humor where I started
to appreciate the movie on a whole another level. Like
you know, when Peter Vankman is checking out Dana's apartment
about to go in the bedroom, and she's like, that's
the bedroom, but nothing ever happens in there, and he goes,
(11:04):
what a crime. He's like dying laughing.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
When I just like that the other day. I knew
it was coming. Smile here to hear likes you the line.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I'm dying like you don't get that as a kid,
you know, well, what.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
About when when when Ray gets blown by the ghost kid,
I had no idea what was happening?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
What the data bar What does he say with the
guy's little cock who.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Oh, yes, it's true this man has no dick. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
I was actually like that was the most like blunt
one where I was like Jesus on the plane, like.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Data Barrow when she's possessed once Peter, just like I
want you inside me.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I don't, but I guess that could go both ways.
Is a ghost right?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yeah? But so there was no toys for so long.
There wasn't that it was so easy to collect anything.
Ghostbusters where I remember Neka when I was in high
school or maybe early college came out with Ghosts Busters,
but it was just a terror dog Gozer Climber and
the giant Marshball because they didn't make the humans.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
But then didn't they make the humans, but like Bill
Murray didn't sign off on it. So there's like a
set where there's like no Bill Murray. I'm sure, there's
a couple of things like that, but not something like that.
But now now there's so much Ghostbuster merch where I
can't get it all where. It's like since since the movie,
I mean there's you know, if you count those neck
as as Ghostbuster, which they are, but there's no humans.
Then Mattel made some awesome ones Diamond Select, and now
(12:30):
Hasbro makes them. But there's what I want is I
want Hasbro to go back and how they've been doing
like the retro Star Wars for characters.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
They never made. I want them to make the movie
guys in the retro form, like the real Ghostbuster form.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I see what you're saying. I would like I was
thinking about this since we're talking about the toys already.
I would like, so those the Hasbro ones are great,
but there are not ultimates. So there they are twenty
dollars toys, you know, like like they.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Like Hasbro Black Series, Yeah they don't.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
They don't all come with the streams for example, and
it's just like it's like they're not ultimates. I would
love the four dudes in an ultimate somewhere. I don't
know what company has to do. I had the Hasbro's
and I got rid of them because I just feel
like it's some day they're gonna have They're gonna make
like a necka well.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Me.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Mesco makes this. A couple of Mesco makes them, which
more high end, and even the Diamond select Ones are
really good, but yeah, you have one of the best ones.
The Diamond select Ones are the best, but the Hazbro ones,
like you said, like I think only Winston comes with
the actual stream.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Yeah, come on, no, I want all the pieces. I
want full blown. I want full blown ultimates, different heads
ship like that.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
And it's it's the Ghostbuster figures that got me hooked
on funk Goos because I was like always on like
gb News orgbfans dot com or something. I always check
out New Merchant. I saw the funk Is, like what
are these things? And I googled it. I'm like, wait,
they make Star Wars and they just heard to like
this is fucking awesome. And then you know, that's how
I went down that rabbit hole with the Funkos.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Absolutely. Do you do you remember anything about the cartoon?
Speaker 3 (14:10):
May vaguely. I mean I remember like kids I played
with had the tower, which I thought was cool, and
a lot of I remember the toilet. Everyone had the toilet,
Yes everyone, I had that old lady that would remember.
That's all I got.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I love the toys. I had most of them as
a kid. Uh Now I have every single regular release one.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
There's a video on our YouTube of Brosky literally in
the Pandemic unboxing. I think every vintage goes, almost every
vintage Ghostbuster figure.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
It's a lot like it's so weird because like the
marshmallow people say, like the marshmallow Man and Slimer are
technically Ghostbusters one figures, but they're not because they were
brought into the cartoon, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Right right, right right.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
It's like they're not depicting the movie. I can see
how people say that, but they're not.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
It's cheating.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, So technically no figures for the movie, which I
guess I can understand one, right because one is technically
an adult comedy, but by two it's a fucking kiddy movie.
And they did two so different. It's me too, okay,
but they so like for instance, they they there are
(15:21):
kind of toys, but there's no figures like they do
the Slime Pack, which I don't think is in any
cartoon like the because the ghos supposed to the backpack
they wear shoot slime, so that's they have that for
the kids. And then they also made uh the echo
a role play item, Yes, a roleplay item. And they
made like a repaint of the Ecdo one the Ghostbusters
(15:44):
car from the cartoon. It's also from the movie, but
with more like slime stickers, like pink slime stickers, and
the Ghostbusters two logo, so I guess that's technically Ghostbusters
two but there's no figures.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, the Ecto one rock that toy was fucking amazing,
had that forever. Uh, But yeah, the cartoon was very weird.
Like I tried to watch it recently. I think during
the pandemic. I popped it on like in the background
when I was doing cards or something. It's it's very weird.
It's like, uh, you know, obviously the Bill Murray character
(16:16):
is not like Bill Murray in the cartoon.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
He's just kind of like it, isn't it Dave Cooler
or is he right? He's one of them?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Oh ship, Yeah, Dave kool Ai does do his voice
in it.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah, yeah, I want to say he's Peter Vankman.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah. Probably, It's just it's not like the adult kind
of guy that you that you love it, but it's
a whole I think it's like a different entity. It's
like it's just I.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Don't understood why, Like they change Egon's hair color, Like
why did they do that?
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Right, he's blonde and curly haired.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
It's weird not curly. I guess the hair is the
same the style, but the blonde is weird.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yeah, that is weird.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
But Brian, he didn't like it.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Yeah, so what's the deal? What's like?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
I don't feel they need to ever watch it again
with that. I think without Bill Murray, it's a barely
watchable movie.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
And I have no sentimental attachment to it. I think
that's the big problem, big time. And I like Bill Murray.
Like if I were to meet Bill Murray, I would
seriously mark out and like lose my mind. But yeah,
I uh like, it's not like he's not one of
my favorites. Like, so I wasn't watching it like, oh
it's a Bill Murray mooe. You know, I don't know.
(17:29):
It was interesting to learn, you know, all these characters
and things that I've known kind of for years but
never really understood the meaning behind a lot of them,
or the.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Point did you chuckle? Did you laugh? No?
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Like I barely that another thing you guys are here
was a comedy or it was a couple weeks back
WI about the funniest movies of all time Broster, Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters,
Like it wasn't even like it's no part part jokes.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
But I was dying. I was dying when I was
watching it. I'm on the treadmill, just fucking dying.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Morning Weavers beautiful. Uh, he's great, today's years old. Whenever
you call Billy Walter peck, Yeah, I thought that was
a reference to what is that fucking I never watched
it either, that show where they do deal drugs. Oh yeah,
(18:21):
I thought it was a Walter White thing for some reason.
I don't know why. It's no clue what the fuck
Walter Beck was.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
That was like a weird I was like, what Nickolas Walter?
Speaker 3 (18:32):
So, wait's a Billy pack is dickless?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Spread d rumors.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
So that was a big Were you bored watching it
a little bit? Yeah? And we're talking flight to Australia.
Passed out like stand up as long as I could,
passed out a big long sleep, A meal, and I
was like ready and alert to watch this thing, and
it just didn't really do much for me. I will
say this, Rick Moranis character is Tony Khan exactly.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Holy shit.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Yeah. Wow, that was another revelation I had, Well did
you I was.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I was trying to watch it with I try to
watch a lot of these movies. I talk about this
a lot. I talked about it last week, like, you know, what,
are we watching this with nostalgia goggles or whatever. I
really tried to watch it critically, and I'm looked at
the performances, looked at the transitions, looked at tried to
put myself in a position of somebody who was watching
this for the first time, and I still look I
(19:37):
came out of Hook, I said it was very fun.
I would love to watch it again, but I could
see why people didn't like it. This one. I watched
it and I just thought it's a great movie. I
thought that it was skillfully put together.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
It was so clever.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
I like the exact opposite experience with Hook, where I
loved it as a kid now watching as an adult
through and I tried to do the same thing. I
tried to have like a critical because I watched that
thing where there's you know that it was critically buried,
and dude, Rob Williams and fucking uh Hook have like
incredible performances in that, like yeah that Live Live On.
(20:13):
I think it's visually unbelievable, like Ghostwisters. I don't know, man,
it's just such an acquired it's so bizarre.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
That like, you know what, you know what you're about
to say, the acquired taste. There might be something to that.
There might be something to that because he takes coffee
the first time and it's kind of like, look, but
then it eventually gets delicious.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
I mean, dude, there's been plenty of movies like I
remember Brosket wearing Deep South. We saw Talladega Nights. I
remember like, man, this movie is kind of stupid, and
then I would just keep watching it and watching it
and watching it, and it's like, I think it's one
of the fucking funniest movies ever. Now you know what
I mean?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
There could be something to that, Broskey, what do you think?
Speaker 3 (20:51):
I mean?
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Maybe? Uh, it's hard for me to watch it without
nostalgic goggles because it's one of my if not I
feel like.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
If you guys love that as a kid, you're ex
and age from this conversation with weirdo like me that's
missed it somehow.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
But even like, you know, when they talking about all
the scientific things, the fact that it sounds like scientific
and real and it's not like goofy, I think that's
what makes it all like fun and believable to me,
where it's not like the schoolost thing over here is
like really like they're saying like this exact scientific bs
and especially when they're talking about.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Their ghostbusters were scientists and all that ship.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Until I watched this doctor Benkman back off Man, I'm
a scientist. So even then, what's his name, Winston isn't
even like an original one? He comes in, he comes
that's that's supposed to be Eddie Murphy.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yeah, no, it's not originally.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
And Murphy's supposed to be one of the three. Yeah,
I watched I watched the movies that make It's on Netflix,
Movies that made Us. Really he's supposed to be one
of the three. And then Belushi is supposed to be
Jim Uh, I'm gonna lose my mind here. Jim Belushi
is supposed to be Bill Murray yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
He dies and then another weird John Belushi or John sorry,
John Belushy, uh, the other weird.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
But they wanted Slimmer to look like John Belushi. I
don't know if it was like a tribute or something,
and the guy was doing it just kind of yeah, yeah.
Then but he said I didn't do it. They saw,
he said they saw Slimer was like, oh, it looks great,
looks just like him. He's like, I didn't even try.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Really, And.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yeah, I thought that was that was interesting, And you
actually think.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Like, if it was Belushi, I probably would like the
movie a little bit better because I like that guy.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
That is insane.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Probably I'm just I'm guessing here, right.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
I think that this is like the the apex of
Bill Murray, which is which is saying a lot, because
he's had classics.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
I just like, he's just so cool in the movie,
even at like the end.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Of the same fucking character in all these movies.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Dude, Wells one's coming in Marshmallow. He's got like a
drop autumn. It was like I had to tell And
he's got like a little bit on his shoulder.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I love small things. He when they walk into the
first time they're going to the hotel. They walk into
the hotel, he's like any would see a ghost, and
then that girl walks by and he just kind of
eyes her. She looks he's just so slick. I'll say
this does not age well. When he's trying to bang
his student at the college, that doesn't age.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Or what about when what about when he had just
drugs on him to drug Dana Barrett just pat about
it and like fucking drugs drugs and knock her fuck
it out. Yeah, that is doesn't doesn't age.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Well, yeah, there was a couple of things there.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I had no problem with him hitting on the student though.
It's not like she was because it's in so much comedy, right, Yeah,
she was, and she wasn't a kindergarten. She's a fucking
college well, you know, she's a fucking go over her master.
She could be fucking thirty.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
So one of the things that I saw was, you know,
dan Aykroyd grew up his like his entire family was
were like ghost hunters.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
They like that's in the thing too. Yeah, that explains
all that he wrote this and it went through like
a lot, a lot of a lot of changes because.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Harold was changing a lot.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Yeah, yeah, the director and stuff, they all kind of
collaborated on it to change.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Its Three was rumored to come out for fucking years
but it never did. Uh. And then there was like
the Ghostbusters with the Women, which we're not going to
talk about.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Wait, so from two, that's the next ghost Wister movie.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Yeah, and I don't even count that. So really the
next Ghostbuster movie is the one that came out like
two years ago. Holy shit, because the Girl one. Not
only it's it's in a different universe. It's just I
realized there was that gap.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Was that big. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Bill Mertle just kept saying no.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
He just kept saying no.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
He didn't like two. He thought that he was disappointed
with two, and he thought, why do it again?
Speaker 3 (24:49):
He was already a pretty big star when he took
this role. So yeah, there's a big thing on that
Netflix show about like how they they booked them for
but they weren't sure they'd actually even show up. Damn,
Like no confirmation or nothing. That he showed up like
it was like ten am start of the filming. He
showed up at like eight am with no heads up
or Notah, I just appeared and they're like Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I gotta watch his movies that made us. I don't
think I've ever seen it.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I've definitely seen it.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
I don't remember it.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Is it recent or is it old?
Speaker 1 (25:17):
No, it was one of the original ones.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
It's two or three years old.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I probably seen it. I just forget yea years ago.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
It's got a lot of tidbits in it that I
felt like I needed to like out on top of
my experience.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Yeah, but I think some of the like like you said,
marshmallow Man Slimer, I think they're everyone knows what those are,
at least maybe not by name, but like recognize him,
you know. I think it's like a like a Darth Vader,
So everyone knows Darth Vader. They know it's something and
then then correct me if I'm wrong. On the cartoon,
they like befriend Slimmer and he's like, yeah, he's a
(25:49):
bit And then he even in ghost bushes too. He
comes in it's like a baby face. He's like riding
the bus and he helps like Lewis Tully get to
the Statue of Liberty.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Yeah, why is Lewis Tully back? He's one of the
what are the Ghostbusters? No, I thought that was Rick
Moran's character. What's his name, Lewis Tully is Rick moranis Wait,
he becomes a Ghostbuster.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
He's like, they're accountant, He's there, Accountant, He's there, He's there.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Chiappetta, Yeah, she definitely that is exactly he comes back.
He comes back.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Uh. I know you say we're not gonna talk about
the girls one. I will just put this on record.
The I just think the big mistake with that film.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
And and you can't say anything bad about it because
people call you sexist.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
I know it has nothing to do with it being girls.
It's not good.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
I think that the worst problem is that they fucking
you can't make a Ghostbusters movie in a different universe.
Can't do it? You can't.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
It's not do you mean it's a different universe?
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Like so in this universe, Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray
did not exist, and this is just from these girls
made up Ghostbusters.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Oh if you know that, I feel like that. No, fine,
no you can't.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I actually I wanted that movie to succeed. I thought
I saw it opening day and even up until like
the first scene before the credits, are like, fuck, this
actually might be good, and then the bell rang. They
really started was like this and just got worse and worse,
and then like they try to tease you and use
like the marshmallow Man as like like a like a
(27:18):
like a parade inflatable balloon. It's like, oh, stop, is
it not the same universe or it is, come on,
what are you doing here? Like Slimer's in it, but
it's not Slimer because it's not the same universe. It's
really really weird. Well, you guys both loved After Life.
After Life is great, unbelievable lies, After Life great.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
It was just a well made movie.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
You know.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Look, I still love one and stuff and After Life
I think, I I if they never make another movie,
I might be a little disappointed with Afterlife. But I
feel like they set up a lot for the future.
So it was a real nice tribute to Harold Remis.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
I would say, who's in it from that original?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
They all are in it at the very very, very
very end. So it's about the new generation, which I like,
but it ties everything together and it's in the same universe,
and it's about like Egon's granddaughter. It starts with Egon's
dying because in real life. He's dead, so it's all dying.
They're all in it great and and and even yes,
and then at the end they make like Egon come
(28:18):
as a ghost and help his granddaughter and they're both
like using the pro it's I have a goose what
I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Like filming wise, if he was deceased.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Computer animated, he was a ghost, so he was like
wavy and stuff, you know, So it's like still, it's like, yeah,
it's a it's a great movie.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
But I loved it, and I loved that they the
merch was like on fire, great merch figures were great.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Maybe I'd watch that then all that I would dabble.
Now that I can connect the dots.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
And and now now that you say that mark they did,
I'm an idiot. They have made when they made this movie,
they the kids as you know, like the real Ghostbuster style,
and they did finally make the original guys, they did
do it. What do you mean like they made the
original four in the eighty style.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Yeah but they did.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Yeah, but I just said earlier than I wish they did.
But they they did.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, but that's what I was saying.
They did are not ultimates they're great figures.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
But yeah, right right, so there's like no, but I
mean they made them in like the retro style as well,
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Oh ship, yeah, you're right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah they did. Huh.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
They're not exactly like the real ghost was, They're close enough.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Does Brian need to watch two to watch the new one?
Speaker 3 (29:42):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Two's fun though, you see the bro just put it
on a flight.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Vigo. The painting is the big Two is.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
I think a little more nostalgic to me, to be honest.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Because two is like the two is the one like
I saw in the theater there too is definitely were
kiddie one.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
That's what Yeah, the kittie part.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
I don't think it's better because there's nobody getting blown
in it by a ghost.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
But I'm gonna stand by it. Like gohwis one stands
in this weird space where it's like in between like
an adult film and the kids film.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Well, I think that's the problem with two, and that's
why I don't think it was as successful, because I
think it's trying to please both, where like one accidentally
turned into like this kid movie where Two because of
the success of the toy line and the real Ghostbus
cartoon and the fucking I see they made it. They
tried to appeal to both. I think that's why I
(30:38):
kind of fell a little flat.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
But I'll have you know, I might this week on
my travels, I might watch two again, just to just
to compare, because I have it so fresh. But I
think I liked it more. But that's a nostalgia goggle,
so I'm not totally sure.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
I'll have to watch it with my both very hard
video games.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Okay, well, we're gonna talk about that video game.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
I don't remember video games at all.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
The Nintendo game is fun looking ridiculous too, are insane?
Speaker 3 (31:04):
When did those come out?
Speaker 2 (31:05):
At the time of the release in eighty four, a
Nintendo game came out whatever West.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Western Nintendo game came out before too. It was one
of the earliest Nintendo games.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
As I say, that doesn't add up.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Not in eighty four, No, yeah, no way, it's got
to be close. I mean it's before eighty nine, because
Ghost was Tues eighty nine.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
I'm looking it up right now.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
I never played it until like years after.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
It's so hard I could never even I mentioned this,
and people shout it. I mentioned on the podcast if
You Oh Fuck nineteen eighty four What He's a game
originally released in nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Sure three one.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry it was released.
It was released in North America nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Sorry, sorry, sorry, that makes a lot more sense.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
I have the Ghostbusters pinball machine in my house. It
was one of the first things I ever bought about
that I have that and thrilled, Well, I got it
before her, the Ghostbusters I think I had. I think
I had that before I met her. But when I
first moved in, I was injured. There was really nothing
to do. I had no furniture or anything, so I
(32:24):
would just play that fucking arcade And for some reason,
you could lower the volume of it, but every time
the librarian screams, it's like the volume is still ten
to ten, so it sounds like I'm killing people, like
when in the middle of the night, like if you
would scream like like for some reason, that volume is
always a tad out of tad.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
For the thought of Prosky alone in an apartment with
no house.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
A Ghostbuster pinball.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Just playing pinball standing up like what is he sipping
fucking wine playing pinball by it.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Actually, I love pinball and I love that game. I'm
look at right now. I have a full sized Neca
foam slimer in my toy room. I have fucking two
Proton packs. One's custom like purple and orange, zach Ryder,
the haz Lab pro toop like I have so much
one but naked at your house. That's the one. That's
the one.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
A couple of things. So it was one hundred and
five minutes, it was thirty million, did two hundred and
ninety five point two million box office? Okay, A couple
of things. I noticed. How about Carl Winslow being a
cop in the movie. Yes, yeah, so does that mean
die Hard and family matters are in the Ghostbusters universe.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
It's not supposed to be Karl wins I.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Think it's Carl Winslow, guys, So yeah, I think it's
carled Uh. I noticed her groceries. She goes to the
grocery store. Here's what she got, guys. Marshmallows stay puffed
by the way.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Yeah, little easter eggs.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
That's not a real It's like Ghostwuster made up. Yeah. Yeah,
I think I realized that either.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Cart and eggs, celery and sardines. That was everything in
her I don't know what the deal with sardines were
in the eighties. I don't know if it was like
a health food or some ship everybody.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Ye, people don't even talk about it now.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
I'm the The not behind the scenes was called the
deleted scenes on the TVD. There's a scene and thank
god I got the leader whis looks horrible. Then after
the marshmallow Man blows up that his hat just kind
of floats to the streets of New York City like
a fucking got fucking I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
It's not. It's not in the movie. That's definitely discussed
on this thing. It might be on that Netflix thing. Yeah,
it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
It's not, And it's on the final cut of the
film that god looks it's horrible.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
That's funny, though, that's a little too funny.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
I think one thing that I read, uh, there was
some gorilla filmmaking that took place, capturing spontaneous scenes at
iconic locations around the city, including one shot at rockfallm
Center where the actors were chased off by a real
security guard. So there's one shot. I remember of them
running down the street, but the music is playing the
running down the street and you can see the guy
(35:11):
behind them like he's not an he's not an actor,
He's like a guy walking down the street, like what's happening?
Why are What's what's going on?
Speaker 3 (35:20):
It's great.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
And then when I read that, I was like.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Oh, I can't immensely the song is unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
I think the soundtrack is great.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
I mean, just the main song, We'll Stand the Test
of Time.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
For Ghostbusters nominated for two Academy Awards Best Original Song
for Ghostbusters by Ray Parker Junior, and didn't win. It
did not win, lost to Stevie Wonders. I just called
to say I Love You, which is a phenomenal song.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
That's a good song.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
What movie is that?
Speaker 1 (35:48):
From The Woman in Red?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
I just go I mean I do know that song,
but great song.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
They also were nominated for Best Visual Effects, but they
lost to Inanna Jones and Temple doomm nineteen eight. H
oh yeah, So that was eighty five eighty nine when
Ghostbusters two came out. Holy crap, lots of movies.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
Did you know that the whole like most of the
majority of the filming, they were fighting over the name, yes,
because didn't on the rights.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Ghost Busters with a Space was a show in the
seventies and.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
They were gonna call it ghost Breakers, and then they
were doing scenes multiple times we were saying ghost Breakers,
ghost Breakers. Wow, that was the same. I feel like
that would change everything. You can't say breaking makes me
for you?
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Doesn't. It doesn't hit as good.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
And we can't forget the Brian Mars I mean, Kurt Hawkins,
what of what Ghostbusters figure?
Speaker 3 (36:55):
Oh wow, now finally that has meaning. Oh man, you
want I still don't have it on display. I think
I was very close to selling it, but I.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
Because to me, the Mattel, the jumpsuit is like a
one of one like that is made, and yes it
couldn't be I think corporate Steve fucking made it in
his basement, but he still.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Made presented on a vlog. That's important. Yeah, insane for
you to sell it.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
And then I do have.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
Fits my head like perfect and that all that stuff,
but my hat.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Has not put my head. I'm looking at it right now.
And then I have a I supposed to have a
Mattel Basic never came out, but I have the prototype
before before build really started fucking met.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
It and then you wore mac car I don't want
to go supposed to hear it Bound for Glory.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Right, Yeah, and that's a major bendy.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
I'm also spoiler gonna wear some Ghostbuster gear at GCW
homecoming this year, so a lot of Ghostbuster stuff, new
Ghostbuster gear.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
So I will say this though, in defense and Brian's
sort of attack on the film. Ninety five percent on
Rotten Tomatoes for critics, eighty eight percent for human beings.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
The critics, I have more than fans.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Yes, holy shit, and I'll read this. Ghostbuster's positive reception
was has lasted well beyond its release, and it is
considered one of the most important comedy films ever made.
Is listed in the twenty thirteen film reference book one
thousand and one Movies You Must See Before You Die,
and on its thirtieth anniversary in twenty fourteen, the Hollywood
Reporters Entertainment Industry voted ranking named it the seventy seventh
(38:38):
best film of all time.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
Wow, that's crazy to me.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
I mean, I think it should be in the top twenty,
but I'll take it in top one hundred.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
I'll take so Steph watched it did not like it
is what I hear?
Speaker 2 (38:50):
Right, Yeah, but she's fucking she's Australian.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
She's twelve years old and it hasn't watched the movie.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Yeah there's no one's smoking weed in it. She doesn't. Maybe, hey,
maybe I did pop.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
For how much? How many cigarettes they spoke?
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Yeah? I noticed that Ray smoking a lot of SIGs,
which isn't smart to do down there in that the
storage facility. You know that thing blows up there smoking
SIGs down there on the rag that's smart?
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Yeah, yeah, a lot of a lot of that called
me off guard. A lot of SIGs.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
What that Those real Ghostbusters, even though they're not Ghostbuster figures,
like you could pretend, you know, it was the same.
You could pretend you really.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Could they were the Ghostbusters.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
Yeah when you were a kid, right, there.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Was this Ghostbuster. I haven't a marshmallow man. It's like
a hand puppet, but he so he stuffed and he's
like twelve inches. So I would use that with the
figures because the marshmallow man they made is like the
same size as them. Oh yeah, so this guy's almost
the size of the fucking firehouse, but like as a kid.
(39:56):
If you, Brian, I don't think you. You didn't play this,
you don't need remember, But like technically we're supposed to
do with the firehouse, and this was like a fucking
a couple of toy lines and ship like this. And
I don't understand. I understand, well, my mom never let
me do it, But I don't understand how the toyle.
I thought people were gonna let their kids do it
the top of the fire house, these little fucking like
square openings, and it came with slime, drop slime down
(40:19):
it onto all your fucking figures, your fucking carpet.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
One done.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Yeah, you do it once, that's no.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
But they would, they would sell them. They sold the slime.
You buy more slime.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Yeah, but I'm saying that sludge. Your mom sets it up,
she puts paper on the ground. She lets you do
it once, you clean up your figures, and you never
do it again.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
That's that's like I I don't think I ever was
allowed to do it.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
I remember Michael Munior did it when I went over
his house.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
He do it.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
Yeah, my parents.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
They also took away the fucking the batmobile would like
shoot out little missiles. They took those away from me. Oh,
come on, and my robo cop would have like the
snaps where you shoot the gun like you know, with
like real fel.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Oh the cats, the cats, Yes, they took my cat.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
It wasn't like in the news though about that RoboCop thing.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
Yes, definitely not safe.
Speaker 3 (41:10):
Yeah, but man, what my final consensus is, I probably
will never watch that movie again. And I'm glad you
guys enjoy it for sentimental reasons, and I'm sure that's very.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Important, but man, I think it's the I think.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
It will ostalgia for it. I just could really do
without it.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
I'm wondering. I'd like to ask people out there if
you've never seen it like Brian, and then watched it
like what you thought. I would love to get a
couple more people's opinions.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
It's hard to find these people.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
It's especially in our group, especially in our group. But
I'm also guys, I would love to hear you your
thoughts on the idea that the film is an acquired
taste and and Brian's honest review.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
Let me go back to my main takeaway, Nobel Murray,
that movie's forget about it.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
I can't argue with that at all, not even not
even I can't argue. I I a thousand percent agree.
I mean, he makes a movie, but.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
He's a like timeless comedy actor, wildly successful. So I
would say you need Dad Ackroyd too. I think you
need I think I think you need them all. I
think it's not the same. It's like, okay, like it's
a bad example, but like you.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Know, Triple H is the leader of the New Age Outlass,
but you need Xbox, you need the fucking the Outlaws.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
You mean d X by the way. But what I
say is the leader of the New Age Outlaws.
Speaker 1 (42:36):
This might be, but I feel like if you if
you replace Harold Ramis with somebody, I I.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
Think, wait, you're crazy, You're fucking crazy.
Speaker 3 (42:46):
That's just you're blown.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
He's fucking egoumental goggles right now, Broski.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
So before we go, though, I do want to talk
about this. A lot of people have mentioned this. Who
are we? I think Brian is one million percent Winston
and I thought of that in the second She was like,
do you believe it GHEs paranormal activity? Whatever, he just goes.
He goes if there's a paycheck. I believe in whatever
you want, Like this is Brian watching the movie. Deal, Yes,
(43:17):
Ed Broski's definitely Bill Murray And I think that I'm
dan Aykroyd And I think Kannik is egone.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
Right, Oh and swordswoggles, slider.
Speaker 1 (43:26):
Slimer, Yeah, yeah, brutal.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
I just think we're we're lucky that we're in I
think we're at this and maybe I'm biased because I
am this age, but that we have because of how
we were born in the eighties, Like movies we just
missed were like on HBO all the time where you
could rent from the video store. But like I feel
like if we were born a couple years earlier, we
would have missed a lot of the cool mid nineties things.
Speaker 3 (43:53):
Or you don't that's also true, but I meant like
you're not seeing it enough. Like you guys saw a ghosts.
There's a ton of times in your kid so it
lives on in your like heart and mind, you know
what I mean. If you saw something once and never
again because there's no HBO to fucking right, then it
kind of like doesn't live on.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
But like there's so many things like I wish I
would have saw more of, like Back to the Future
or like but I was able to see those things
on like HBO and VHS. Is if I would have
said those in the theater, I don't think I would
have been old enough to watch fucking like a real monsters,
I'd fucking tike a. Look, it's just like the ship
like that that I also cherish like that, like the
Snick and stuff like that. I think if you were
(44:34):
born for like you know, the originally day Joes, you
ain't watching Snick. You don't have memories of our frae
of the dark, you know.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
So it's like I think, but there was stuff in
the eighties that you missed that that that you would
have cherished instead, like gummy bears or whatever.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
The fuck. But I feel like I got gumming bears.
I got gummy bears.
Speaker 1 (44:52):
Brot okay, well gummy bears.
Speaker 3 (44:56):
I got gummy bears. All right.
Speaker 1 (44:58):
Well there's I mean, there's so much to talk about. Uh,
Ghostbusters is.
Speaker 3 (45:04):
Just more bum that I can't tell people I've never
seen this fucking movie anymore. Well you've never seen Ghostbusters
two or or After Life, So I hear you guys
got me sort of contemplating After Life just because then
I can at least understand a lot more of it.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
But I have a proposal for next month.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
Oh boy, Okay, I was I was gonna bring up
next month.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
Do I have a proposal? Okay, because I wanted to
always involve toys somehow, someway. Yeah, I agree, hear me
out here, high hopes. This movie massive flop that has
a toy line water World, now, Dick Tracy.
Speaker 3 (45:45):
Man, I either saw that in the theater or like
a handful of Times of the Year came out like
on VHS and I've never seen it again. I would
be like it would be literally like seeing it.
Speaker 1 (45:56):
I haven't seen it in years too. I think I
would be willing to do that.
Speaker 2 (45:59):
Yeah, I think I saw it in the theater and
had the toys.
Speaker 3 (46:02):
I definitely had the toys and the video game.
Speaker 2 (46:04):
Like that was something that like if you're a fan
of like Disney, like they were supposed they were. They
thought this was gonna be it, Like they thought this
was going to be their Batman. They were planning in
rides for it all this they thought there was gonna
be the like their Batman eighty nine.
Speaker 3 (46:18):
Toys are so unique too, there's not really like other things.
They're like heman ish but yeah, this this.
Speaker 1 (46:26):
Movie is very interesting, especially to me because I do
remember being very disappointed with it, and I remember being
very engrossed and uh interested in in all the characters.
And then you watch the movie and the characters get bullshit.
They get nothing right, like like who's Flathead? I don't
fucking know because he was barely in the movie, you know,
really right, I just remember being very disappointed with it.
Speaker 3 (46:48):
Well, if this ends up where Broski spends a ton
of money in the Blank, I'm all for it.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
I really thinking. Yes, I think I finally have to
all these years want to get the blank, and I
want to talk about the histor the blank.
Speaker 3 (47:01):
Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
I think, Yeah, I think that's great. But my other question, Brian,
you saw Terminators, right, You've seen them?
Speaker 2 (47:06):
Wanted to Like when I was a kid, I didn't, doesn't.
I wasn't a big arnold guy like Brosky sod they
kind of but I didn't see the I didn't see
them as a kid like I would do that one
month too.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
Yeah, I think Terminator is a good one.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
Let's let's do Dick Tracy, Let's last action hero. But
I actually think I would do that I'll do that
next after after fucking Dick Tracy.
Speaker 1 (47:29):
Last time. I liked the idea of Dick Tracy because
I think we're all gonna fucking hate it.
Speaker 3 (47:33):
Oh bro, I don't have high hopes at all.
Speaker 2 (47:36):
If I wasn't he's a kid. I don't know if
I like, I remember like a big I think it's
McDonald's promote, Like they went all fucking out with this thing.
Speaker 3 (47:44):
You know, it felt like you had to be in
on it as a kid because it was a big deal. Right, yeah,
everywhere it's gone. I don't know what's at CVS. When
we were a kid, they'd a very very small they
still do a very small toy selection, but even smaller
than they do now. And then Dick Tracy guys were there,
like that's how pop itember. I got a bunch there
the CBS in my town.
Speaker 2 (48:06):
Wild Yeah all.
Speaker 1 (48:08):
Right, Well I loved I loved The Ghostbusters. It was
for that.
Speaker 2 (48:12):
Yeah, I'm sure I'm missing so much because it was
just a great, great movie that I just love more
and more. And I feel like, you know, once I
have a kid, I'll be watching you know. I won't
give him my proton pack, but I'll buy him his
proton pack, you know, shit like that.
Speaker 3 (48:28):
I can't get a kid that proton back swoggles naked ass.
Speaker 2 (48:31):
No, I got kid one kid version.
Speaker 1 (48:33):
So it also is worth mentioning. The very recent video
game that came out is a hit. I mean it is.
It is a really good, really fun But.
Speaker 2 (48:41):
Isn't it like a decade old? Isn't the one where
it's supposed to it's supposed to be? What the third
movie is.
Speaker 1 (48:50):
That's a decade old? There's a brand new one that
just came out. Oh okay, okay, it's it's phenomenal. There's
a great online play to it.
Speaker 2 (48:58):
But even that other video game is really good, right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (49:02):
Loug for marks Twitch channel, I feel like it's coming up.
Speaker 1 (49:04):
No, I'm not gonna play that game. I'm so bad
at it. It's fun, though, I'm really bad. I played
it on the A W Games but channel wasn't actually
all right?
Speaker 3 (49:13):
All right, anyone sees Tony Kahn and Rick Moran is
in the same place, you know, we'll concern
Well return after these messengers. Yeah, he's a resting podcast shown.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
March.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Job everybody, welcome to the bonus episode for the month
of July. We are doing Ghostbusters. I'm sorry to ghost Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I can't believe you if I'm lusting makes me feel.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Good, Brosky. This is this is like one of the biggest,
like mean topics since the beginning of the podcast. Brian
not seeing Ghostbusters? Am I right?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I mean, I think it's like a kid not watching
w w F. Come on, I think it's I think
I think it's up there. Yes, I am theories, we'll
get it. I could have. I could have skipped this
and said I've seen it so many times, why watch
it back? For his combo me too. I watched it though,
me too, Me too, And I will say without The
(01:10):
only thing in my opinion that does not hold up
is some of the animation of the fucking terror dog.
When he's like chasing Lewis Tully.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
It looks like he's made of clay. But that's how
they probably did it right.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Right when you find out that the movie was made
on a thirty million budget, which is like so small,
made three hundred million, like you understand four. Yeah, nineteen
eighty four. Special effects that was fucking great.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
And the practical effects. We'll get into it, but I
think that's what makes the movie. Like the eggs cracking
that was CGI now, which I'm sure it would be
it would look CGI. Yeah, that was a practical effect.
All the cars come out of the car catalog. It's
a practical effect that really happened, like it wasn't CGI.
They figured out how to make it happen.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
They put a little they put a little explosion in
the egg, pressed a button. All right, but let's not.
We can't bury the lead here. Everybody wants to fucking
know for years, four years, Brian, you gotta see Ghostbusters. Brian,
what did you think.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
You really want to like get into it like that.
I just gonna say, let me, I would say, let
me just state my claim. You say, nineteen eighty four. Yes,
I'm born in nineteen eighty five. I'm gonna blame my
brother because he's a nineteen eighty birthday. Everything that I
was younger, that I attached onto was through him. And
I have zero recollection of Ghostbusters. There was no Ghostbuster
(02:37):
toys in my house. There was no Uh, we didn't
watch the cartoon. What I don't recall watching this movie
on television ever in my life. So, and I'm gonna
blame it all on him, but I'm not mad at
him because I wasn't so thrilled with the movie.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Oh no, oh no, oh no, we're here talking out loud.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I want you guys to start off by saying your
earliest memories of this movie, because it's before you guys
are born too.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
So explain well, Mark's Mark's fucking forties. He was alive,
Marks and College came out.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I mean, I was one years old when you were.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I you were in your dorm room with Jay Silverberger
and Molly Allen.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I was not born when it came out. And honestly,
I don't recall if I saw the movie first or
the real Ghosts cartoon. But my earliest memory.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
When does that cartoon come out?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I don't even know. It's eight eighty eight.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I got it. I got it, And the cartoon is
absolutely just the idea of the cartoon is insane when
you when you think about it, it's it was like
seven seasons, one hundred and forty episodes.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
In nineteen eighty six, Ghostbusters Animated television series Real Ghost
Person ran for one hundred and forty episodes over seven
seasons across six years, and there was a spinoff, Slimer
comic Slimer series, and then you.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Never fucking drank Ecdo Cooler as a kid.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
That Yeah, you go to a birthday party or someone's
house after school and they have it. But that's a
fucking douice box.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
It's not like that's how popular Ghostbusters was. He's not
the fucking me.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Was, Dude. I said this all the time. The first
time I ever fucking met Papa Bear Paul, I asked
to go to the bathroom in my pre K class
and the teacher was walking in the bathroom and he
was shoot in the hallways patrolling. It wasn't Halloween, by
the way, that full jumpsuit and the fucking backpack in
the gimmick patrolling the holes for ghosts. The first time
(04:30):
I remember seeing him before, I said it to his
mom a couple of years ago. He wouldn't take that
fucking thing off.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Well, yeah, he's a big ghost guy.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Before we get to Brian Brusky, throw down all your nostalgia,
the memory how you got to.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I don't recall if I saw the movie first or
the cartoon. But I was obsessed. I had all the toys.
I watched the cartoon, drank at the cooler, had the
fucking jumpsuit, had the fucking pro Tom pack, the trap,
the pik E meter, I had it all. I was
just fucking obsessed with it. I saw Ghostbusters two in
(05:04):
the theater vividly remember seeing in the theater.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
When did that come out?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Eighty nine? Like I remember seeing Batman eighty nine in
the theater. So like those memories I have even watching
back this how crazy it is. I was watching it
back last night, and like I remember on my VHS
that I recorded off TV, Like I remembered where the
commercial breaks were. Okay, here's the commercial break, here's the
commercial is where they go to commercial break. Like that's
(05:31):
how many times I watched this VHS that my parents
taped off TV for me. Oh yeah, what about you, Mark?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, I saw two first, So I watched the cartoon
and then I saw two first in the theaters my
parents' radiots, and uh so then you know, at some
point I watched the VHS, probably rented it or watched
it on TV of one, and then me and My
brother owned both VHS's and would watch them over and
over again, and that the toys. To me, we're both.
(06:03):
I mean, you know, the technically the toys were the cartoon,
but you know it was the same thing, it was
the same world. It was.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I didn't realize that's the one. You said that a
couple of weeks ago, that yeah, there is no like,
there is no toys, there's no vintage choice for this
movie and it and after watching it, it's like, it's
not a kids movie at all.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
No, it's it doesn't become a kid's movie. First of all,
it's supposed to be like a joke. It's not supposed
to be like this. You know, it's supposed to be
like an adult comedy. But they didn't realize that kids
would love that funny either, So I don't know what
it's interesting. I was dying like yeah, because he was
fucking like Chris Farley like this weird space to me, like,
(06:41):
I don't know what. I think.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
That's what makes it so great because it's it's not
just a stupid comedy. I'm saying, it's not just a
stupid comedy. It's an actual good movie. That's that's funny.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I mean, if you think about it, think it's supposed
to be. It's written as a comedy and the big
heel at the end is a fucking walking giant marshmallow man.
But the way it's presented, it's like scary and not funny,
and as a kid, it's like petrifying.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
That was after all these years, you know, I've seen
that staypuff marshmallow man and you know, toy stores and everything.
But if they get some kind of explanation as to
why that is was interesting after all these.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Years, it was just his stupid dot which was great. Yeah,
but real quick on the what I remember too, you know,
obviously similar stuff to you. I watched it a lot,
But one thing that really stuck out to me is
growing up in Massachusetts, my only knowledge of New York
City was through the Ghostbusters, and I remember we went
(07:41):
on a trip to New York. It was like with
my mom and like her work or something, and I
made the entire group go to the out of the
way to go to the library so I could see
the the the statues outside of the library. You know.
Oh yes, because one of the first shots is that
swinging shot around the lion in front of the library,
New York.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
How about pretty much anything outside is New York, but
everything inside La.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Yes, yes, oh yeah, that was even like the hotel, well,
the hotel is in LA We just stayed for wrestled.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Comm Yeah, so I got I saw right away, right.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
My other memories of the movie is that at Universal
Studios there was a Ghostbusters like show, which has since
you know, it's so crazy to me, how like now
you think of Ghostbusters, it's like timeless, it's nostalgic. But
like in nineteen ninety five, they're like, oh, this movie
is old. We got to get rid of it. You know,
it's crazy. I think anything works, but it's it's it's
(08:42):
crazy how something's come back as timeless though you know.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Well people going nuts of American Gladiators, right, But like
I think fucking Netflix series is sure.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
But for instance, though, what what replaced Ghostbusters was fucking Twister?
Has Twister stood the No, that's just old, you know
what I'm saying, Like some things fucking live on, like
find another life. You know, I don't know if Twister's
gonna find another life.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
If they if they make a Netflix stock about the
drama behind making Twister I'm sure it could give it
some life. It's just that's the way pop culture seems
to work.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
What really broke my heart is that, I know, you guys, well,
Mark is more a theme park guy. Like that. The firehouse.
They had a whole firehouse there and it's still up
at Universal, but they took down the sign and one
of the roller coasters just goes right fucking through it.
They like, it's still standard. You can't unless you know
it's the Ghosts Firehuse. It just looks like a firehouse.
And they do have Mark. They have the library there,
(09:39):
like it's it's right there.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
I went to Universal in the nineties. I don't remember
this at all.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Well, it wasn't very popular. If you watch it on YouTube,
it's fucking awesome, like the technology, Like I wish they
would bring it back.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Yeah, there's no Ghostbuster representation there at.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
All, right now, No, of course they have tons of
merch and she's like, but that's it. And they had
it for They do Halloween horrorites every year and a
couple of years ago they built a Halloween Horronit's house
that they broke down. My other memory is that, like,
you know, as you're a kid, like you don't you
can't watch at least me. I thought it was too
(10:16):
cool for like Ghostbusters in like second and third, fourth,
so I wasn't like watching or certainly not playing with
the toys anymore, you know. And then it wasn't until
DVDs came out and you were able to buy like
dv because back in the you couldn't like just go
in and buy you know, ghost It wasn't you know
how v DVDs were crazy, You buy any movie you
wanted on.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Dv Yeah, I feel like VHS era, like if you
didn't get it when it came out, it was gone
and then like something.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yeah, So I got Ghostbusters one of the first DVDs
I got, and it was the first time I watched.
I wasn't an adult, I was a teenager maybe ninth grade,
and I got all the adult humor where I started
to appreciate the movie on a whole another level. Like
you know, when Peter Vankman is checking out Dana's apartment
about to go in the bedroom, and she's like, that's
the bedroom, but nothing ever happens in there, and he goes,
(11:04):
what a crime. He's like dying laughing.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
When I just like that the other day. I knew
it was coming. Smile here to hear likes you the line.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I'm dying like you don't get that as a kid,
you know, well, what.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
About when when when Ray gets blown by the ghost kid,
I had no idea what was happening?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
What the data bar What does he say with the
guy's little cock who.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Oh, yes, it's true this man has no dick. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
I was actually like that was the most like blunt
one where I was like Jesus on the plane, like.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Data Barrow when she's possessed once Peter, just like I
want you inside me.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I don't, but I guess that could go both ways.
Is a ghost right?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yeah? But so there was no toys for so long.
There wasn't that it was so easy to collect anything.
Ghostbusters where I remember Neka when I was in high
school or maybe early college came out with Ghosts Busters,
but it was just a terror dog Gozer Climber and
the giant Marshball because they didn't make the humans.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
But then didn't they make the humans, but like Bill
Murray didn't sign off on it. So there's like a
set where there's like no Bill Murray. I'm sure, there's
a couple of things like that, but not something like that.
But now now there's so much Ghostbuster merch where I
can't get it all where. It's like since since the movie,
I mean there's you know, if you count those neck
as as Ghostbuster, which they are, but there's no humans.
Then Mattel made some awesome ones Diamond Select, and now
(12:30):
Hasbro makes them. But there's what I want is I
want Hasbro to go back and how they've been doing
like the retro Star Wars for characters.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
They never made. I want them to make the movie
guys in the retro form, like the real Ghostbuster form.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I see what you're saying. I would like I was
thinking about this since we're talking about the toys already.
I would like, so those the Hasbro ones are great,
but there are not ultimates. So there they are twenty
dollars toys, you know, like like they.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Like Hasbro Black Series, Yeah they don't.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
They don't all come with the streams for example, and
it's just like it's like they're not ultimates. I would
love the four dudes in an ultimate somewhere. I don't
know what company has to do. I had the Hasbro's
and I got rid of them because I just feel
like it's some day they're gonna have They're gonna make
like a necka well.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Me.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Mesco makes this. A couple of Mesco makes them, which
more high end, and even the Diamond select Ones are
really good, but yeah, you have one of the best ones.
The Diamond select Ones are the best, but the Hazbro ones,
like you said, like I think only Winston comes with
the actual stream.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Yeah, come on, no, I want all the pieces. I
want full blown. I want full blown ultimates, different heads
ship like that.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
And it's it's the Ghostbuster figures that got me hooked
on funk Goos because I was like always on like
gb News orgbfans dot com or something. I always check
out New Merchant. I saw the funk Is, like what
are these things? And I googled it. I'm like, wait,
they make Star Wars and they just heard to like
this is fucking awesome. And then you know, that's how
I went down that rabbit hole with the Funkos.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Absolutely. Do you do you remember anything about the cartoon?
Speaker 3 (14:10):
May vaguely. I mean I remember like kids I played
with had the tower, which I thought was cool, and
a lot of I remember the toilet. Everyone had the toilet,
Yes everyone, I had that old lady that would remember.
That's all I got.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I love the toys. I had most of them as
a kid. Uh Now I have every single regular release one.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
There's a video on our YouTube of Brosky literally in
the Pandemic unboxing. I think every vintage goes, almost every
vintage Ghostbuster figure.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
It's a lot like it's so weird because like the
marshmallow people say, like the marshmallow Man and Slimer are
technically Ghostbusters one figures, but they're not because they were
brought into the cartoon, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Right right, right right.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
It's like they're not depicting the movie. I can see
how people say that, but they're not.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
It's cheating.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, So technically no figures for the movie, which I
guess I can understand one, right because one is technically
an adult comedy, but by two it's a fucking kiddy movie.
And they did two so different. It's me too, okay,
but they so like for instance, they they there are
(15:21):
kind of toys, but there's no figures like they do
the Slime Pack, which I don't think is in any
cartoon like the because the ghos supposed to the backpack
they wear shoot slime, so that's they have that for
the kids. And then they also made uh the echo
a role play item, Yes, a roleplay item. And they
made like a repaint of the Ecdo one the Ghostbusters
(15:44):
car from the cartoon. It's also from the movie, but
with more like slime stickers, like pink slime stickers, and
the Ghostbusters two logo, so I guess that's technically Ghostbusters
two but there's no figures.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, the Ecto one rock that toy was fucking amazing,
had that forever. Uh, But yeah, the cartoon was very weird.
Like I tried to watch it recently. I think during
the pandemic. I popped it on like in the background
when I was doing cards or something. It's it's very weird.
It's like, uh, you know, obviously the Bill Murray character
(16:16):
is not like Bill Murray in the cartoon.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
He's just kind of like it, isn't it Dave Cooler
or is he right? He's one of them?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Oh ship, Yeah, Dave kool Ai does do his voice
in it.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah, yeah, I want to say he's Peter Vankman.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah. Probably, It's just it's not like the adult kind
of guy that you that you love it, but it's
a whole I think it's like a different entity. It's
like it's just I.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Don't understood why, Like they change Egon's hair color, Like
why did they do that?
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Right, he's blonde and curly haired.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
It's weird not curly. I guess the hair is the
same the style, but the blonde is weird.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yeah, that is weird.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
But Brian, he didn't like it.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Yeah, so what's the deal? What's like?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
I don't feel they need to ever watch it again
with that. I think without Bill Murray, it's a barely
watchable movie.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
And I have no sentimental attachment to it. I think
that's the big problem, big time. And I like Bill Murray.
Like if I were to meet Bill Murray, I would
seriously mark out and like lose my mind. But yeah,
I uh like, it's not like he's not one of
my favorites. Like, so I wasn't watching it like, oh
it's a Bill Murray mooe. You know, I don't know.
(17:29):
It was interesting to learn, you know, all these characters
and things that I've known kind of for years but
never really understood the meaning behind a lot of them,
or the.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Point did you chuckle? Did you laugh? No?
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Like I barely that another thing you guys are here
was a comedy or it was a couple weeks back
WI about the funniest movies of all time Broster, Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters,
Like it wasn't even like it's no part part jokes.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
But I was dying. I was dying when I was
watching it. I'm on the treadmill, just fucking dying.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Morning Weavers beautiful. Uh, he's great, today's years old. Whenever
you call Billy Walter peck, Yeah, I thought that was
a reference to what is that fucking I never watched
it either, that show where they do deal drugs. Oh yeah,
(18:21):
I thought it was a Walter White thing for some reason.
I don't know why. It's no clue what the fuck
Walter Beck was.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
That was like a weird I was like, what Nickolas Walter?
Speaker 3 (18:32):
So, wait's a Billy pack is dickless?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Spread d rumors.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
So that was a big Were you bored watching it
a little bit? Yeah? And we're talking flight to Australia.
Passed out like stand up as long as I could,
passed out a big long sleep, A meal, and I
was like ready and alert to watch this thing, and
it just didn't really do much for me. I will
say this, Rick Moranis character is Tony Khan exactly.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Holy shit.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Yeah. Wow, that was another revelation I had, Well did
you I was.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I was trying to watch it with I try to
watch a lot of these movies. I talk about this
a lot. I talked about it last week, like, you know, what,
are we watching this with nostalgia goggles or whatever. I
really tried to watch it critically, and I'm looked at
the performances, looked at the transitions, looked at tried to
put myself in a position of somebody who was watching
this for the first time, and I still look I
(19:37):
came out of Hook, I said it was very fun.
I would love to watch it again, but I could
see why people didn't like it. This one. I watched
it and I just thought it's a great movie. I
thought that it was skillfully put together.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
It was so clever.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
I like the exact opposite experience with Hook, where I
loved it as a kid now watching as an adult
through and I tried to do the same thing. I
tried to have like a critical because I watched that
thing where there's you know that it was critically buried,
and dude, Rob Williams and fucking uh Hook have like
incredible performances in that, like yeah that Live Live On.
(20:13):
I think it's visually unbelievable, like Ghostwisters. I don't know, man,
it's just such an acquired it's so bizarre.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
That like, you know what, you know what you're about
to say, the acquired taste. There might be something to that.
There might be something to that because he takes coffee
the first time and it's kind of like, look, but
then it eventually gets delicious.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
I mean, dude, there's been plenty of movies like I
remember Brosket wearing Deep South. We saw Talladega Nights. I
remember like, man, this movie is kind of stupid, and
then I would just keep watching it and watching it
and watching it, and it's like, I think it's one
of the fucking funniest movies ever. Now you know what
I mean?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
There could be something to that, Broskey, what do you think?
Speaker 3 (20:51):
I mean?
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Maybe? Uh, it's hard for me to watch it without
nostalgic goggles because it's one of my if not I
feel like.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
If you guys love that as a kid, you're ex
and age from this conversation with weirdo like me that's
missed it somehow.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
But even like, you know, when they talking about all
the scientific things, the fact that it sounds like scientific
and real and it's not like goofy, I think that's
what makes it all like fun and believable to me,
where it's not like the schoolost thing over here is
like really like they're saying like this exact scientific bs
and especially when they're talking about.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Their ghostbusters were scientists and all that ship.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Until I watched this doctor Benkman back off Man, I'm
a scientist. So even then, what's his name, Winston isn't
even like an original one? He comes in, he comes
that's that's supposed to be Eddie Murphy.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yeah, no, it's not originally.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
And Murphy's supposed to be one of the three. Yeah,
I watched I watched the movies that make It's on Netflix,
Movies that made Us. Really he's supposed to be one
of the three. And then Belushi is supposed to be
Jim Uh, I'm gonna lose my mind here. Jim Belushi
is supposed to be Bill Murray yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
He dies and then another weird John Belushi or John sorry,
John Belushy, uh, the other weird.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
But they wanted Slimmer to look like John Belushi. I
don't know if it was like a tribute or something,
and the guy was doing it just kind of yeah, yeah.
Then but he said I didn't do it. They saw,
he said they saw Slimer was like, oh, it looks great,
looks just like him. He's like, I didn't even try.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Really, And.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yeah, I thought that was that was interesting, And you
actually think.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Like, if it was Belushi, I probably would like the
movie a little bit better because I like that guy.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
That is insane.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Probably I'm just I'm guessing here, right.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
I think that this is like the the apex of
Bill Murray, which is which is saying a lot, because
he's had classics.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
I just like, he's just so cool in the movie,
even at like the end.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Of the same fucking character in all these movies.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Dude, Wells one's coming in Marshmallow. He's got like a
drop autumn. It was like I had to tell And
he's got like a little bit on his shoulder.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I love small things. He when they walk into the
first time they're going to the hotel. They walk into
the hotel, he's like any would see a ghost, and
then that girl walks by and he just kind of
eyes her. She looks he's just so slick. I'll say
this does not age well. When he's trying to bang
his student at the college, that doesn't age.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Or what about when what about when he had just
drugs on him to drug Dana Barrett just pat about
it and like fucking drugs drugs and knock her fuck
it out. Yeah, that is doesn't doesn't age.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Well, yeah, there was a couple of things there.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I had no problem with him hitting on the student though.
It's not like she was because it's in so much comedy, right, Yeah,
she was, and she wasn't a kindergarten. She's a fucking
college well, you know, she's a fucking go over her master.
She could be fucking thirty.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
So one of the things that I saw was, you know,
dan Aykroyd grew up his like his entire family was
were like ghost hunters.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
They like that's in the thing too. Yeah, that explains
all that he wrote this and it went through like
a lot, a lot of a lot of changes because.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Harold was changing a lot.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Yeah, yeah, the director and stuff, they all kind of
collaborated on it to change.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Its Three was rumored to come out for fucking years
but it never did. Uh. And then there was like
the Ghostbusters with the Women, which we're not going to
talk about.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Wait, so from two, that's the next ghost Wister movie.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Yeah, and I don't even count that. So really the
next Ghostbuster movie is the one that came out like
two years ago. Holy shit, because the Girl one. Not
only it's it's in a different universe. It's just I
realized there was that gap.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Was that big. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Bill Mertle just kept saying no.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
He just kept saying no.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
He didn't like two. He thought that he was disappointed
with two, and he thought, why do it again?
Speaker 3 (24:49):
He was already a pretty big star when he took
this role. So yeah, there's a big thing on that
Netflix show about like how they they booked them for
but they weren't sure they'd actually even show up. Damn,
Like no confirmation or nothing. That he showed up like
it was like ten am start of the filming. He
showed up at like eight am with no heads up
or Notah, I just appeared and they're like Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I gotta watch his movies that made us. I don't
think I've ever seen it.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I've definitely seen it.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
I don't remember it.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Is it recent or is it old?
Speaker 1 (25:17):
No, it was one of the original ones.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
It's two or three years old.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I probably seen it. I just forget yea years ago.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
It's got a lot of tidbits in it that I
felt like I needed to like out on top of
my experience.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Yeah, but I think some of the like like you said,
marshmallow Man Slimer, I think they're everyone knows what those are,
at least maybe not by name, but like recognize him,
you know. I think it's like a like a Darth Vader,
So everyone knows Darth Vader. They know it's something and
then then correct me if I'm wrong. On the cartoon,
they like befriend Slimmer and he's like, yeah, he's a
(25:49):
bit And then he even in ghost bushes too. He
comes in it's like a baby face. He's like riding
the bus and he helps like Lewis Tully get to
the Statue of Liberty.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Yeah, why is Lewis Tully back? He's one of the
what are the Ghostbusters? No, I thought that was Rick
Moran's character. What's his name, Lewis Tully is Rick moranis Wait,
he becomes a Ghostbuster.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
He's like, they're accountant, He's there, Accountant, He's there, He's there.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Chiappetta, Yeah, she definitely that is exactly he comes back.
He comes back.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Uh. I know you say we're not gonna talk about
the girls one. I will just put this on record.
The I just think the big mistake with that film.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
And and you can't say anything bad about it because
people call you sexist.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
I know it has nothing to do with it being girls.
It's not good.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
I think that the worst problem is that they fucking
you can't make a Ghostbusters movie in a different universe.
Can't do it? You can't.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
It's not do you mean it's a different universe?
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Like so in this universe, Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray
did not exist, and this is just from these girls
made up Ghostbusters.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Oh if you know that, I feel like that. No, fine,
no you can't.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I actually I wanted that movie to succeed. I thought
I saw it opening day and even up until like
the first scene before the credits, are like, fuck, this
actually might be good, and then the bell rang. They
really started was like this and just got worse and worse,
and then like they try to tease you and use
like the marshmallow Man as like like a like a
(27:18):
like a parade inflatable balloon. It's like, oh, stop, is
it not the same universe or it is, come on,
what are you doing here? Like Slimer's in it, but
it's not Slimer because it's not the same universe. It's
really really weird. Well, you guys both loved After Life.
After Life is great, unbelievable lies, After Life great.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
It was just a well made movie.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
You know.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Look, I still love one and stuff and After Life
I think, I I if they never make another movie,
I might be a little disappointed with Afterlife. But I
feel like they set up a lot for the future.
So it was a real nice tribute to Harold Remis.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
I would say, who's in it from that original?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
They all are in it at the very very, very
very end. So it's about the new generation, which I like,
but it ties everything together and it's in the same universe,
and it's about like Egon's granddaughter. It starts with Egon's
dying because in real life. He's dead, so it's all dying.
They're all in it great and and and even yes,
and then at the end they make like Egon come
(28:18):
as a ghost and help his granddaughter and they're both
like using the pro it's I have a goose what
I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Like filming wise, if he was deceased.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Computer animated, he was a ghost, so he was like
wavy and stuff, you know, So it's like still, it's like, yeah,
it's a it's a great movie.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
But I loved it, and I loved that they the
merch was like on fire, great merch figures were great.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Maybe I'd watch that then all that I would dabble.
Now that I can connect the dots.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
And and now now that you say that mark they did,
I'm an idiot. They have made when they made this movie,
they the kids as you know, like the real Ghostbuster style,
and they did finally make the original guys, they did
do it. What do you mean like they made the
original four in the eighty style.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Yeah but they did.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Yeah, but I just said earlier than I wish they did.
But they they did.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, but that's what I was saying.
They did are not ultimates they're great figures.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
But yeah, right right, so there's like no, but I
mean they made them in like the retro style as well,
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Oh ship, yeah, you're right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah they did. Huh.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
They're not exactly like the real ghost was, They're close enough.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Does Brian need to watch two to watch the new one?
Speaker 3 (29:42):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Two's fun though, you see the bro just put it
on a flight.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Vigo. The painting is the big Two is.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
I think a little more nostalgic to me, to be honest.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Because two is like the two is the one like
I saw in the theater there too is definitely were
kiddie one.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
That's what Yeah, the kittie part.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
I don't think it's better because there's nobody getting blown
in it by a ghost.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
But I'm gonna stand by it. Like gohwis one stands
in this weird space where it's like in between like
an adult film and the kids film.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Well, I think that's the problem with two, and that's
why I don't think it was as successful, because I
think it's trying to please both, where like one accidentally
turned into like this kid movie where Two because of
the success of the toy line and the real Ghostbus
cartoon and the fucking I see they made it. They
tried to appeal to both. I think that's why I
(30:38):
kind of fell a little flat.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
But I'll have you know, I might this week on
my travels, I might watch two again, just to just
to compare, because I have it so fresh. But I
think I liked it more. But that's a nostalgia goggle,
so I'm not totally sure.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
I'll have to watch it with my both very hard
video games.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Okay, well, we're gonna talk about that video game.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
I don't remember video games at all.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
The Nintendo game is fun looking ridiculous too, are insane?
Speaker 3 (31:04):
When did those come out?
Speaker 2 (31:05):
At the time of the release in eighty four, a
Nintendo game came out whatever West.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Western Nintendo game came out before too. It was one
of the earliest Nintendo games.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
As I say, that doesn't add up.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Not in eighty four, No, yeah, no way, it's got
to be close. I mean it's before eighty nine, because
Ghost was Tues eighty nine.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
I'm looking it up right now.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
I never played it until like years after.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
It's so hard I could never even I mentioned this,
and people shout it. I mentioned on the podcast if
You Oh Fuck nineteen eighty four What He's a game
originally released in nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Sure three one.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry it was released.
It was released in North America nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Sorry, sorry, sorry, that makes a lot more sense.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
I have the Ghostbusters pinball machine in my house. It
was one of the first things I ever bought about
that I have that and thrilled, Well, I got it
before her, the Ghostbusters I think I had. I think
I had that before I met her. But when I
first moved in, I was injured. There was really nothing
to do. I had no furniture or anything, so I
(32:24):
would just play that fucking arcade And for some reason,
you could lower the volume of it, but every time
the librarian screams, it's like the volume is still ten
to ten, so it sounds like I'm killing people, like
when in the middle of the night, like if you
would scream like like for some reason, that volume is
always a tad out of tad.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
For the thought of Prosky alone in an apartment with
no house.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
A Ghostbuster pinball.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Just playing pinball standing up like what is he sipping
fucking wine playing pinball by it.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Actually, I love pinball and I love that game. I'm
look at right now. I have a full sized Neca
foam slimer in my toy room. I have fucking two
Proton packs. One's custom like purple and orange, zach Ryder,
the haz Lab pro toop like I have so much
one but naked at your house. That's the one. That's
the one.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
A couple of things. So it was one hundred and
five minutes, it was thirty million, did two hundred and
ninety five point two million box office? Okay, A couple
of things. I noticed. How about Carl Winslow being a
cop in the movie. Yes, yeah, so does that mean
die Hard and family matters are in the Ghostbusters universe.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
It's not supposed to be Karl wins I.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Think it's Carl Winslow, guys, So yeah, I think it's
carled Uh. I noticed her groceries. She goes to the
grocery store. Here's what she got, guys. Marshmallows stay puffed
by the way.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Yeah, little easter eggs.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
That's not a real It's like Ghostwuster made up. Yeah. Yeah,
I think I realized that either.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Cart and eggs, celery and sardines. That was everything in
her I don't know what the deal with sardines were
in the eighties. I don't know if it was like
a health food or some ship everybody.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Ye, people don't even talk about it now.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
I'm the The not behind the scenes was called the
deleted scenes on the TVD. There's a scene and thank
god I got the leader whis looks horrible. Then after
the marshmallow Man blows up that his hat just kind
of floats to the streets of New York City like
a fucking got fucking I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
It's not. It's not in the movie. That's definitely discussed
on this thing. It might be on that Netflix thing. Yeah,
it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
It's not, And it's on the final cut of the
film that god looks it's horrible.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
That's funny, though, that's a little too funny.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
I think one thing that I read, uh, there was
some gorilla filmmaking that took place, capturing spontaneous scenes at
iconic locations around the city, including one shot at rockfallm
Center where the actors were chased off by a real
security guard. So there's one shot. I remember of them
running down the street, but the music is playing the
running down the street and you can see the guy
(35:11):
behind them like he's not an he's not an actor,
He's like a guy walking down the street, like what's happening?
Why are What's what's going on?
Speaker 3 (35:20):
It's great.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
And then when I read that, I was like.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Oh, I can't immensely the song is unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
I think the soundtrack is great.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
I mean, just the main song, We'll Stand the Test
of Time.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
For Ghostbusters nominated for two Academy Awards Best Original Song
for Ghostbusters by Ray Parker Junior, and didn't win. It
did not win, lost to Stevie Wonders. I just called
to say I Love You, which is a phenomenal song.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
That's a good song.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
What movie is that?
Speaker 1 (35:48):
From The Woman in Red?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
I just go I mean I do know that song,
but great song.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
They also were nominated for Best Visual Effects, but they
lost to Inanna Jones and Temple doomm nineteen eight. H
oh yeah, So that was eighty five eighty nine when
Ghostbusters two came out. Holy crap, lots of movies.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
Did you know that the whole like most of the
majority of the filming, they were fighting over the name, yes,
because didn't on the rights.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Ghost Busters with a Space was a show in the
seventies and.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
They were gonna call it ghost Breakers, and then they
were doing scenes multiple times we were saying ghost Breakers,
ghost Breakers. Wow, that was the same. I feel like
that would change everything. You can't say breaking makes me
for you?
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Doesn't. It doesn't hit as good.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
And we can't forget the Brian Mars I mean, Kurt Hawkins,
what of what Ghostbusters figure?
Speaker 3 (36:55):
Oh wow, now finally that has meaning. Oh man, you
want I still don't have it on display. I think
I was very close to selling it, but I.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
Because to me, the Mattel, the jumpsuit is like a
one of one like that is made, and yes it
couldn't be I think corporate Steve fucking made it in
his basement, but he still.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Made presented on a vlog. That's important. Yeah, insane for
you to sell it.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
And then I do have.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
Fits my head like perfect and that all that stuff,
but my hat.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Has not put my head. I'm looking at it right now.
And then I have a I supposed to have a
Mattel Basic never came out, but I have the prototype
before before build really started fucking met.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
It and then you wore mac car I don't want
to go supposed to hear it Bound for Glory.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Right, Yeah, and that's a major bendy.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
I'm also spoiler gonna wear some Ghostbuster gear at GCW
homecoming this year, so a lot of Ghostbuster stuff, new
Ghostbuster gear.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
So I will say this though, in defense and Brian's
sort of attack on the film. Ninety five percent on
Rotten Tomatoes for critics, eighty eight percent for human beings.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
The critics, I have more than fans.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Yes, holy shit, and I'll read this. Ghostbuster's positive reception
was has lasted well beyond its release, and it is
considered one of the most important comedy films ever made.
Is listed in the twenty thirteen film reference book one
thousand and one Movies You Must See Before You Die,
and on its thirtieth anniversary in twenty fourteen, the Hollywood
Reporters Entertainment Industry voted ranking named it the seventy seventh
(38:38):
best film of all time.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
Wow, that's crazy to me.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
I mean, I think it should be in the top twenty,
but I'll take it in top one hundred.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
I'll take so Steph watched it did not like it
is what I hear?
Speaker 2 (38:50):
Right, Yeah, but she's fucking she's Australian.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
She's twelve years old and it hasn't watched the movie.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Yeah there's no one's smoking weed in it. She doesn't. Maybe, hey,
maybe I did pop.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
For how much? How many cigarettes they spoke?
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Yeah? I noticed that Ray smoking a lot of SIGs,
which isn't smart to do down there in that the
storage facility. You know that thing blows up there smoking
SIGs down there on the rag that's smart?
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Yeah, yeah, a lot of a lot of that called
me off guard. A lot of SIGs.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
What that Those real Ghostbusters, even though they're not Ghostbuster figures,
like you could pretend, you know, it was the same.
You could pretend you really.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Could they were the Ghostbusters.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
Yeah when you were a kid, right, there.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Was this Ghostbuster. I haven't a marshmallow man. It's like
a hand puppet, but he so he stuffed and he's
like twelve inches. So I would use that with the
figures because the marshmallow man they made is like the
same size as them. Oh yeah, so this guy's almost
the size of the fucking firehouse, but like as a kid.
(39:56):
If you, Brian, I don't think you. You didn't play this,
you don't need remember, But like technically we're supposed to
do with the firehouse, and this was like a fucking
a couple of toy lines and ship like this. And
I don't understand. I understand, well, my mom never let
me do it, But I don't understand how the toyle.
I thought people were gonna let their kids do it
the top of the fire house, these little fucking like
square openings, and it came with slime, drop slime down
(40:19):
it onto all your fucking figures, your fucking carpet.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
One done.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Yeah, you do it once, that's no.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
But they would, they would sell them. They sold the slime.
You buy more slime.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Yeah, but I'm saying that sludge. Your mom sets it up,
she puts paper on the ground. She lets you do
it once, you clean up your figures, and you never
do it again.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
That's that's like I I don't think I ever was
allowed to do it.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
I remember Michael Munior did it when I went over
his house.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
He do it.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
Yeah, my parents.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
They also took away the fucking the batmobile would like
shoot out little missiles. They took those away from me. Oh,
come on, and my robo cop would have like the
snaps where you shoot the gun like you know, with
like real fel.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Oh the cats, the cats, Yes, they took my cat.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
It wasn't like in the news though about that RoboCop thing.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
Yes, definitely not safe.
Speaker 3 (41:10):
Yeah, but man, what my final consensus is, I probably
will never watch that movie again. And I'm glad you
guys enjoy it for sentimental reasons, and I'm sure that's very.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Important, but man, I think it's the I think.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
It will ostalgia for it. I just could really do
without it.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
I'm wondering. I'd like to ask people out there if
you've never seen it like Brian, and then watched it
like what you thought. I would love to get a
couple more people's opinions.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
It's hard to find these people.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
It's especially in our group, especially in our group. But
I'm also guys, I would love to hear you your
thoughts on the idea that the film is an acquired
taste and and Brian's honest review.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
Let me go back to my main takeaway, Nobel Murray,
that movie's forget about it.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
I can't argue with that at all, not even not
even I can't argue. I I a thousand percent agree.
I mean, he makes a movie, but.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
He's a like timeless comedy actor, wildly successful. So I
would say you need Dad Ackroyd too. I think you
need I think I think you need them all. I
think it's not the same. It's like, okay, like it's
a bad example, but like you.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Know, Triple H is the leader of the New Age Outlass,
but you need Xbox, you need the fucking the Outlaws.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
You mean d X by the way. But what I
say is the leader of the New Age Outlaws.
Speaker 1 (42:36):
This might be, but I feel like if you if
you replace Harold Ramis with somebody, I I.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
Think, wait, you're crazy, You're fucking crazy.
Speaker 3 (42:46):
That's just you're blown.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
He's fucking egoumental goggles right now, Broski.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
So before we go, though, I do want to talk
about this. A lot of people have mentioned this. Who
are we? I think Brian is one million percent Winston
and I thought of that in the second She was like,
do you believe it GHEs paranormal activity? Whatever, he just goes.
He goes if there's a paycheck. I believe in whatever
you want, Like this is Brian watching the movie. Deal, Yes,
(43:17):
Ed Broski's definitely Bill Murray And I think that I'm
dan Aykroyd And I think Kannik is egone.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
Right, Oh and swordswoggles, slider.
Speaker 1 (43:26):
Slimer, Yeah, yeah, brutal.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
I just think we're we're lucky that we're in I
think we're at this and maybe I'm biased because I
am this age, but that we have because of how
we were born in the eighties, Like movies we just
missed were like on HBO all the time where you
could rent from the video store. But like I feel
like if we were born a couple years earlier, we
would have missed a lot of the cool mid nineties things.
Speaker 3 (43:53):
Or you don't that's also true, but I meant like
you're not seeing it enough. Like you guys saw a ghosts.
There's a ton of times in your kid so it
lives on in your like heart and mind, you know
what I mean. If you saw something once and never
again because there's no HBO to fucking right, then it
kind of like doesn't live on.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
But like there's so many things like I wish I
would have saw more of, like Back to the Future
or like but I was able to see those things
on like HBO and VHS. Is if I would have
said those in the theater, I don't think I would
have been old enough to watch fucking like a real monsters,
I'd fucking tike a. Look, it's just like the ship
like that that I also cherish like that, like the
Snick and stuff like that. I think if you were
(44:34):
born for like you know, the originally day Joes, you
ain't watching Snick. You don't have memories of our frae
of the dark, you know.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
So it's like I think, but there was stuff in
the eighties that you missed that that that you would
have cherished instead, like gummy bears or whatever.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
The fuck. But I feel like I got gumming bears.
I got gummy bears.
Speaker 1 (44:52):
Brot okay, well gummy bears.
Speaker 3 (44:56):
I got gummy bears. All right.
Speaker 1 (44:58):
Well there's I mean, there's so much to talk about. Uh,
Ghostbusters is.
Speaker 3 (45:04):
Just more bum that I can't tell people I've never
seen this fucking movie anymore. Well you've never seen Ghostbusters
two or or After Life, So I hear you guys
got me sort of contemplating After Life just because then
I can at least understand a lot more of it.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
But I have a proposal for next month.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
Oh boy, Okay, I was I was gonna bring up
next month.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
Do I have a proposal? Okay, because I wanted to
always involve toys somehow, someway. Yeah, I agree, hear me
out here, high hopes. This movie massive flop that has
a toy line water World, now, Dick Tracy.
Speaker 3 (45:45):
Man, I either saw that in the theater or like
a handful of Times of the Year came out like
on VHS and I've never seen it again. I would
be like it would be literally like seeing it.
Speaker 1 (45:56):
I haven't seen it in years too. I think I
would be willing to do that.
Speaker 2 (45:59):
Yeah, I think I saw it in the theater and
had the toys.
Speaker 3 (46:02):
I definitely had the toys and the video game.
Speaker 2 (46:04):
Like that was something that like if you're a fan
of like Disney, like they were supposed they were. They
thought this was gonna be it, Like they thought this
was going to be their Batman. They were planning in
rides for it all this they thought there was gonna
be the like their Batman eighty nine.
Speaker 3 (46:18):
Toys are so unique too, there's not really like other things.
They're like heman ish but yeah, this this.
Speaker 1 (46:26):
Movie is very interesting, especially to me because I do
remember being very disappointed with it, and I remember being
very engrossed and uh interested in in all the characters.
And then you watch the movie and the characters get bullshit.
They get nothing right, like like who's Flathead? I don't
fucking know because he was barely in the movie, you know,
really right, I just remember being very disappointed with it.
Speaker 3 (46:48):
Well, if this ends up where Broski spends a ton
of money in the Blank, I'm all for it.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
I really thinking. Yes, I think I finally have to
all these years want to get the blank, and I
want to talk about the histor the blank.
Speaker 3 (47:01):
Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
I think, Yeah, I think that's great. But my other question, Brian,
you saw Terminators, right, You've seen them?
Speaker 2 (47:06):
Wanted to Like when I was a kid, I didn't, doesn't.
I wasn't a big arnold guy like Brosky sod they
kind of but I didn't see the I didn't see
them as a kid like I would do that one
month too.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
Yeah, I think Terminator is a good one.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
Let's let's do Dick Tracy, Let's last action hero. But
I actually think I would do that I'll do that
next after after fucking Dick Tracy.
Speaker 1 (47:29):
Last time. I liked the idea of Dick Tracy because
I think we're all gonna fucking hate it.
Speaker 3 (47:33):
Oh bro, I don't have high hopes at all.
Speaker 2 (47:36):
If I wasn't he's a kid. I don't know if
I like, I remember like a big I think it's
McDonald's promote, Like they went all fucking out with this thing.
Speaker 3 (47:44):
You know, it felt like you had to be in
on it as a kid because it was a big deal. Right, yeah,
everywhere it's gone. I don't know what's at CVS. When
we were a kid, they'd a very very small they
still do a very small toy selection, but even smaller
than they do now. And then Dick Tracy guys were there,
like that's how pop itember. I got a bunch there
the CBS in my town.
Speaker 2 (48:06):
Wild Yeah all.
Speaker 1 (48:08):
Right, Well I loved I loved The Ghostbusters. It was
for that.
Speaker 2 (48:12):
Yeah, I'm sure I'm missing so much because it was
just a great, great movie that I just love more
and more. And I feel like, you know, once I
have a kid, I'll be watching you know. I won't
give him my proton pack, but I'll buy him his
proton pack, you know, shit like that.
Speaker 3 (48:28):
I can't get a kid that proton back swoggles naked ass.
Speaker 2 (48:31):
No, I got kid one kid version.
Speaker 1 (48:33):
So it also is worth mentioning. The very recent video
game that came out is a hit. I mean it is.
It is a really good, really fun But.
Speaker 2 (48:41):
Isn't it like a decade old? Isn't the one where
it's supposed to it's supposed to be? What the third
movie is.
Speaker 1 (48:50):
That's a decade old? There's a brand new one that
just came out. Oh okay, okay, it's it's phenomenal. There's
a great online play to it.
Speaker 2 (48:58):
But even that other video game is really good, right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (49:02):
Loug for marks Twitch channel, I feel like it's coming up.
Speaker 1 (49:04):
No, I'm not gonna play that game. I'm so bad
at it. It's fun, though, I'm really bad. I played
it on the A W Games but channel wasn't actually
all right?
Speaker 3 (49:13):
All right, anyone sees Tony Kahn and Rick Moran is
in the same place, you know, we'll concern
