Ghostbusters (1984): We Kick Off Our Full Franchise Coverage With Ben's All Time Favourite Film?!
Description
Ben & Rob cross the streams for ‘Ghostbusters’, kicking off their series covering every Ghostbustin’ movie ever! Starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Sigourney Weaver, Rick Moranis and Ernie Hudson and directed by Ivan Reitman, this 1984 film was not only a smash hit critically and commercially but has been loved and revered since then, spawning multiple sequels, reboots, animated series and much more.
Plucky underdog scientists Peter Venkman, Ray Stanz and Egon Spengler fight ghouls and demons in New York City, save the life of cellist Dana Barrett, destroy a skyscraper sized marshmallow man and generally stick a middle finger up to any kind of authority or oversight. But is this all just a conservative wet dream for the Reagan era? Or is this in fact the warmest, most comforting film of its entire generation? What is it about this franchise that lingers after multiple so-called deaths? And do ghosts swallow?!
CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!
