Chris and Allen put down their copy of Tobin’s Spirit Guide to relive their youth
Do, Ray, Egon…….Allen and Chris talk the original Ghostbusters film and its sequel, Ghostbusters 2, a film that did not have a great response at the time but in the dumb furore over the 2016 reboot seemed to be reclassified as a classic. How does it stand up and can two dudes that saw Ghostbusters when they were kids ever be able to look at the first film with any critical distance?
We discuss:
Ghost trains
Bill Murray’s excellence
Dan Ackroyd’s beliefs
Chris misses Harold Ramis
The Beatles
And Allen has yet another impersonation
Who you gonna call? No one calls anymore, Granddad, just message them instead.
Remind yourself of the films here:
