In this special episode and Season Finale, join Dean, Lee, Jay and Theo as they review the newest Ghostbusters movie - Frozen Empire. They discuss the story, cast, pacing and plot of the latest in the Ghostbusters franchise. How will they rate this 2024 instalment of the Spengler family saga? Well, you'll have to listen to find out but, as you'll probably expect, they're not all on the same page... Against a backdrop of controversy around Rotten Tomatoes ratings, and extreme reactions both positively and negatively towards the movie, cut through the noise as our four UK Ghostbusters fans share their first impressions of the Ghostbusters Afterlife sequel (previously referred to as #AfterAfterlife), where the movie may lead us to next, and - of course - if there was any cake to be had. (Spoiler: There wasn't). Speaking of spoilers, it goes without saying that in this Frozen Empire podcast review, there are spoilers a-plenty, so be sure to see the movie yourself before tuning in. You've been warned! Then, if you've enjoyed the last 25 episodes - or even if you haven't - please consider leaving us a review wherever you listened to our podcast.  It'll really help us grow Fate, Luck & Karma and come back stronger than ever. Then, if the stars align and with a little bit of luck (and if everything really does happen for a reason, as Pete Venkman suggested) then we'll be back soon with a brand new season of Fate, Luck & Karma: A Ghostbusters Fan Podcast. Thanks for listening! Support the Show.If you liked what you heard, be sure to pay us a visit on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/WestMidlandsGhostbusters), YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@fateluckandkarma) or Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/westmidlandsghostbusters/).You can also show your support and help us grow at https://ko-fi.com/fateluckandkarma

After 25 episodes, and attracting listeners on all five continents across 55 countries, Season 1 of Fate, Luck & Karma is coming to an end.But what a way to go.We'll be giving our reactions, thoughts, and responses to our first viewing of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.

In this, the penultimate episode of Fate, Luck & Karma: A Ghostbusters Fan Podcast, join Dean, Lee, Jay and Theo as they discuss what they hope to see and what they think they'll see in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. The team share the things that could make them leap out of their movie seats in excitement at that first screening, the moments that will truly make Frozen Empire memorable for them, and also some massively unreasonable and far-fetched hopes for subtle cameo appearances for the FLK and West Midlands Ghostbusters crew in the movie itself. It's not going to happen, but Ghostbuster geeks can dream. Plus, Theo sings (again), Lee busts out some frankly creepy voices (again), and 87% of the things Jay says end up on the cutting room floor (again). You gotta give the people what they want after all! Enjoy the episode - and bring on Frozen Empire! Support the Show.If you liked what you heard, be sure to pay us a visit on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/WestMidlandsGhostbusters), YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@fateluckandkarma) or Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/westmidlandsghostbusters/).You can also show your support and help us grow at https://ko-fi.com/fateluckandkarma

There's just two episodes left in Season One of Fate, Luck & Karma. It's been a wild ride over the last 23 eps, but it's strangely appropriate that the team bow out talking about what they hope to see from Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire - and then reacting to their very first viewing of the new movie. So be sure to keep an eye out for the penultimate episode of Season One of Fate, Luck & Karma.

Join Dean, Jay and Theo (but sadly not Lee who had to sit this one out) as they watch together for the very first time both the North American theatrical trailer for Ghostbusters Frozen Empire, and the International Trailer too. You'll hear their live reactions as they see both trailers, and can watch along as they pick apart in detail some of the reveals, clues, hints and revelations contained within the North American trailer. It goes without saying that there's plenty of spoilers in here, so if you're keeping yourself as spoiler-free as possible, swing back around after you've caught the movie. For everyone else, grab your popcorn, settle in and listen to three Ghostbusters geeks doing what Ghostbusters geeks do. And yes, bustin' makes them feel good. Support the Show.If you liked what you heard, be sure to pay us a visit on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/WestMidlandsGhostbusters), YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@fateluckandkarma) or Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/westmidlandsghostbusters/).You can also show your support and help us grow at https://ko-fi.com/fateluckandkarma
