• 0:41
  I'm Rob Blundquist, can I'm and we are the evid Indoorsman. Hi buddy,
• 0:49
  Hi, how are you? I'm doing very well? Thank you had
• 0:52
  a very nice day. How about you? I'm good. I'm coming to
• 0:55
  you from my manager's house in Nashville. Love it, and I'm just taking
• 1:02
  over his living room. He's always so nice and lets you do that.
• 1:06
  I feel like we've done a sweet man. We have. Well, he's
• 1:08
  actually not here right now. He's got exciting stuff. His nephew is currently
• 1:14
  in the March Madness n It Tournament. Yea sick dude. That's awesome.
• 1:21
  His nephew plays for Cornell and so I knew he was playing in college.
• 1:26
  I guess I didn't know. That's awesome, d one in march madness.
• 1:29
  He's like, this might be a once in a lifetime thing. Yeah,
• 1:33
  I'm gonna go and check it out. You gotta go, nice man,
• 1:36
  that's really fun. Adam and I have commandeered his his house. You're like,
• 1:41
  cool, I'm so happy that you get to enjoy that. Can we
• 1:44
  still stay in your place? Though? How do we? Exactly? Yeah?
• 1:48
  No, he's the best. He's the best host. He's just such
• 1:49
  a good dude. And I told Adam that he better be quiet down.
• 1:55
  Yes, you keep your mouth shut, sir. Yeah, so we should
• 2:00
  be good. Yeah, nice man, that's awesome. Yeah, man,
• 2:01
  How did rehearsal go today? Rehearsal went well? Today was the first day
• 2:07
  of getting some new tunes in love that It's a little harry but exciting,
• 2:12
  right, but you know, yeah, you just have to think more than
• 2:15
  usual. Yep. Yeah, we have a new stage and so we had
• 2:19
  to, like, oh fun, figure out new staging for our old stuff.
• 2:23
  But I think it's going to be good. Nice, that's exciting.
• 2:27
  We still got a few more days down here, and we got two operate
• 2:29
  performances while we're down here as well. So that would be fun. That's
• 2:32
  cool, man, love I'm pecking it in. I love that. I
• 2:36
  love it. Yes, sir, but have you been watching any fun movies
• 2:38
  lately? Yeah? I watched a movie that I think you've seen because I
• 2:44
  think we maybe just talked about it. No, I know you've seen it.
• 2:46
  I also saw Drive Away Dolls. Drive Away Dolls, Tell Me Everything.
• 2:53
  I also loved this movie. I thought was really fun and silly.
• 2:57
  It was so silly, which I really appreciated. This is the half of
• 3:01
  the Coen Brothers, I guess right, because it's just Ethan and then his
• 3:07
  lovely lady, Tricia Cook I believe is her name, helped write and also
• 3:12
  it sounds like kind of co direct without maybe the title of co direct.
• 3:16
  But she's heavily involved and I think she's involved in a lot of their projects
• 3:21
  otherwise as well, which is fun. I think that's really cool. But
• 3:24
  yeah, this movie very Coheny. Like you said, all the characters are
• 3:30
  super silly and weird and fun. I don't know. I just really liked
• 3:35
  him, and yeah, I mean it ends up being kind of the same
• 3:38
  takes you had. I thought Margaret Qually was really fun, even though she
• 3:42
  was kind of a bizarre character in this and then Geraldine, Geraldine Viswanathan.
• 3:50
  I always have to make sure I read that one right. Is just a
• 3:53
  delight and I can't wait to see her in so many more movies. She's
• 3:58
  so funny and I I think she's actually a pretty good actor too. So
• 4:01
  it's a really fun It's a fun story about, you know, a couple
• 4:05
  of ladies who are lesbians, and that's not the main part of the story.
• 4:10
  I think we talked about that before too, which is kind of fun.
• 4:13
  And yeah, I don't know, I really liked it. I thought
• 4:15
  this is the movie was really fun. I thought, you know, it's
• 4:17
  nothing like groundbreaking or crazy or anything. It was just a good time and
• 4:23
  a fun little story and you're in, you're out, and I'll probably watch
• 4:27
  it again. I liked it. Yeah, it was quick. Yeah,
• 4:29
  it was very quick. Yeah, like you said, they had some weird
• 4:32
  in between stuff, very psychedelic y almost like cut scenes and things. And
• 4:42
  yeah, I don't know. My thought is still that like they were trying
• 4:45
  to make up for time or something. I don't know. It's very it
• 4:48
  was odd, but it didn't it didn't ruin the rest of it. I
• 4:50
  thought it was quite fun. So, yeah, how about you? What
• 4:55
  what movies have you been watching? It? It's so funny because I am
• 4:58
  going to talk to you about wonk. Oh my god, this is so
• 5:00
  great. But we're good at planning and we just flippy floppy now. To
• 5:04
  be fair, I had not seen Wonka when you were telling me about it.
• 5:09
  That's true, that is true. So I was not able to talk
• 5:12
  to you about that. But we had a family movie night and we watched
• 5:15
  Wonka and we all loved it. I did not know it was going to
• 5:20
  be a straight up musical. Yeah, yeah, that was wonderful. It
• 5:26
  was really good music. And loved that they kept pure imagination and the umpa
• 5:30
  lumpa tune in there. Yes, but yeah, Challamage is just doing everything
• 5:35
  right now. He is killing it. He's doing very well for himself.
• 5:39
  He's so good as Wonka too, Like I just that's such a hard part
• 5:43
  obviously. I guess he got helped out by Johnny Depp a little bit on
• 5:46
  that. But yeah, the bar was pretty low. Yeah, I'm with
• 5:49
  it. Olivia Coleman was a surprise to me. She was really fun in
• 5:54
  that I knew about Keegan Michael Key being there. I'd seen quite a few
• 5:59
  things with him in the trail. Okay, nice silly role, but all
• 6:02
  the sporting characters were great. It had some really touching moments. Lyddy and
• 6:06
  I both got pretty choked up. Absolutely, but yeah, I don't think
• 6:11
  it was too I don't think it was too scary for for little kids,
• 6:15
  and that wasn't sure what they would think. So that's great. Everything that
• 6:18
  I had read was saying like, oh, there's some really dark really and
• 6:21
  I was just like, I don't know, really not too bad. Yeah,
• 6:25
  which was nice. Yeah, that's great. Better than the alternative where
• 6:29
  you're like, oh god, oh gosh, turn this off. Now?
• 6:31
  What was the one you had to turn off? Like immediately onward? Onward?
• 6:36
  That's right, Yes, as soon as they are a spoiler alert if
• 6:41
  you haven't seen onward, even though this is like in the trailers, but
• 6:46
  as soon as they're able to get like half of their dad back, yes,
• 6:51
  the half of a person thing, we were done. There was absolutely
• 6:57
  not I'm done with this now, thank you. I did not think that's
• 7:01
  how that was gonna go. I know that's so funny. I mean it's
• 7:03
  not funny. I don't like that they felt that way, but it's like
• 7:08
  I want to guess that either, and that was probably like a oh okay,
• 7:11
  yeah, we'll just turn it off. It's fine. Imagine now that
• 7:14
  was probably like three years ago. I think we should probably take another run
• 7:16
  at it. Yeah, man, talk about boohooin Oh Bro. That movie
• 7:20
  is great though, Yes, but Wanka was great. Go check it out.
• 7:27
  It is streaming on Max. Nice. Speaking of streaming, have you
• 7:33
  been doing that recently? I also went to Max and watched another movie.
• 7:39
  Uh, this one not as charming. I saw Stealing Harvard. Did you
• 7:43
  ever see this movie? I think when it first came out. Yeah,
• 7:46
  it's funny. It's super old, well super old, but you know,
• 7:51
  super old at this point, and I'd never seen it, so I just
• 7:55
  kind of randomly was like, well, I mean it's Jason Lee, Tom
• 7:58
  Green and let Man or sort of the leads in it. And then you
• 8:03
  know, a bunch of fun people. Dennis Farina is in it, Megan
• 8:07
  Malally is in it, We get to see what is from Parks and rec
• 8:13
  her husband's name, Nick Offerman. Yes, he's in it for like a
• 8:18
  half a second, which I thought was funny, you know, obviously because
• 8:22
  he was probably just around. And then John C McGinley is in it.
• 8:24
  This movie Love Him wasn't great. It's not great. I remember thinking it
• 8:31
  was kind of a throwaway movie. Yeah, I think that's very accurate.
• 8:33
  Also, Richard Jenkins is in it and Chris pim I forgot to say them,
• 8:37
  and they're Yeah, they're both really good. So yeah, it's it's
• 8:41
  not bad by any means. It's got some really funny parts, but it's
• 8:45
  just kind of like, oh, okay, that's kind of a fun idea.
• 8:48
  And the whole idea is Jason Lee tells his niece that he's going to
• 8:56
  pay for her college if she ever gets into college because they're kind of like
• 9:00
  lower income folks and whatever, and uh forgets and then she does get into
• 9:05
  college, so he needs money and that's why they're stealing Harvard. Okay,
• 9:11
  Yeah, so if you want to see that, go for it. I
• 9:13
  wouldn't. Don't go out of here, right, But it's there if you
• 9:16
  want to see it. But how about you you've been streaming anything. It's
• 9:20
  funny because I'm a little lukewarm on this is one. I think I liked
• 9:24
  it. Yeah, I think I liked it more than you did, but
• 9:26
  or at least yeah, you I like this more than you liked stealing Harvard
• 9:33
  with you. Here we go. But you've seen this as well. This
• 9:35
  was an echo on Disney Plus. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh
• 9:43
  funny. Oh is like your friends just started in Amazon. Ehl oh,
• 9:50
  that's so funny. And so it's talking about Disney Plus right now. You
• 9:56
  just amazing to Disney Plus. That is so funny. I forgot an echo
• 10:05
  is a thing. Yeah, that's funny. It is. And I will
• 10:07
  not say that word again. So you can do the name of the car
• 10:11
  tonight. You're not gonna be able to say. Wait, is it the
• 10:15
  echo one? It is, right, Yeah, yeah it is e ct
• 10:18
  Oh yes, ecto ecto. Yes, you're right, you're right. Okay,
• 10:22
  Well anyway, anyway, so this series, it's not my favorite of
• 10:28
  the Marvel shows. They did some cool things. The main actress a Laqua
• 10:33
  Cox. Yes, I think that's right. She's very good and it was
• 10:37
  fun also seeing some of the cast reservation dogs like Devarie Jacobs and John mclarnin,
• 10:43
  as well as a few more pretty small roles people that I recognize from
• 10:48
  that show. But man Vincentinafrio as Kingpin is just he's so awesome in that
• 10:56
  role. Good. They really need to like utilize him in a bit thing.
• 11:01
  Yes, because those were my favorite moments is when he's on screen.
• 11:07
  So it didn't hook me like a lot of the Marvel shows have, but
• 11:11
  it was it was okay, it was all right, and because I was
• 11:15
  just kind of feeling like it's okay, it's all right. There's only five
• 11:16
  episodes, so it's definitely worth worth it. At least. It wasn't super
• 11:22
  drawn out. Yes, you know what I mean. Yeah, I'm with
• 11:26
  you. I think it slightly more than you did, but I hear you.
• 11:30
  It was just fine. Yeah, I don't know why. I kind
• 11:33
  of went into it thinking it would be more but it was okay. I
• 11:37
  thought there was going to be more like Daredevil in it and stuff, and
• 11:41
  she really wasn't, not at all. So yeah, but an interesting character
• 11:48
  and she's really great. I think she's a very good actor. She was
• 11:50
  good. Yeah with you on that nice love it. Well, what do
• 11:54
  you thinks you would do if you plug her? Runies? I think we
• 11:56

• 12:56
  I was having a hard time. I was like kids. Things we
• 13:00
  loved that we would accidentally choose as the destroyer, Rob, what do you
• 13:05
  like? Responded when you were just like, oh can't. We're having a
• 13:11
  hard time, guest, what do you think we should do? I was,
• 13:15
  I was having a hard time. I was like, I shows I'm
• 13:18
  trying. You were you were? You threw something out there. There's no
• 13:22
  bad ideas. It wasn't good, but I did throw it out there.
• 13:26
  If I only said my good ideas, I never would have spoken my entire
• 13:30
  life. Yes, but that should be a ton of fun. Also coming
• 13:33
  attractions, we're gonna do Ghostbusters too. Next who are you gonna call?
• 13:37
  I can't wait. It's gonna be great. I think I might like to
• 13:41
  more than one. We'll talk more about this coming up. Hot take right
• 13:45
  off the bat. No, it's not actually true. I do love to
• 13:48
  though that little weird guy. It's so fun too. We're talking about one
• 13:52
  today though. One one today. It's having an anniversary, I believe right,
• 13:56
  fortieth fortieth anniversary. That makes me feel weird on the inside. But
• 14:01
  fortieth anniversary. And we decided, if we're gonna do Ghostbusters, we had
• 14:07
  to get our very own slimer friend. He's our stay puffed marshmallow man.
• 14:11
  He's our librarian that wants everyone to be quiet in the library. Nice.
• 14:18
  No, he's just a good buddy and we think it's gonna be fun.
• 14:20
  Let's welcoming back, Bennie, ellig what's up? Benny? What up?
• 14:26
  Fellas? Hi? Are you so good? How are you too? Oh
• 14:37
  my god, it's very cute and lovely. So nice to have you back.
• 14:43
  It's really great to be back. I'm not gonna lie. Yeah,
• 14:48
  I should have worn some Vikings apparel, clearly, I'm just it's free agency,
• 14:52
  man, free agency is banging away. I have my Vikings song on,
• 14:58
  but I feel like that's an appropriate show. It's actually a pretty big
• 15:03
  set of underwear, but it looks like a thong. Then you're muted again.
• 15:09
  Come on. The audience didn't laugh at that. Clearly amazing the audience.
• 15:20
  I was only meaning to you, they'll hear you. That's true.
• 15:22
  That's true, they will hear. But for you, I yelled, prove
• 15:24
  it when you said the thing about your large underpants again, audience, you
• 15:31
  already heard it. I'll send you some tasteful shots later. No worries,
• 15:35
  it'll be nice, don't do it nice. Robbie does not want to get
• 15:39
  them to be tasteful. I have to get the wide angle lens for that,
• 15:43
  so I can't do it right now. Just filthy ones stalthy you let
• 15:48
  them be tasteful called the bear eye. Yeah, really accentuates different parts of
• 15:58
  the animal. I think it's more Harry and less Harriet at the same time.
• 16:04
  It's very strange. If you're still with us, Yeah, yeah,
• 16:10
  we have Benny Elich here, who we love so much. Benny, you
• 16:15
  got another show coming up. You're gonna be on FBI Most Wanted. Huh,
• 16:21
  baby, dude, I'm so excited. That's fine and tune in.
• 16:26
  I'm excited for my mom to call and be like, I think I saw
• 16:29
  Benny on TV. My folks will definitely do that as well. Make sure
• 16:34
  that you don't call Dylan McDermott, dermott mulroney. Okay, make sure you
• 16:40
  don't know that unlocked. That's like, that's like oh Josh Dumal Alliphant,
• 16:48
  you know man or Bill Pullman, Bill Paxson. Well, that doesn't happen
• 16:53
  anymore, but it did. Yeah yeah, Rob, you know, and
• 17:00
  spying or something. You know, they're so cute. Obviously get you works.
• 17:07
  I felt like that it's air but I believe it's season five, episode
• 17:11
  ten, So I guess shell you check your check your local listings, your
• 17:15
  TV guide. Yes, yes, yeah, I'll crack that out later.
• 17:19
  That's exciting. Well, congrats, buddy, that's fun. That's big.
• 17:23
  Appreciate big news, appreciate love it. But yeah, guys, we're here
• 17:29
  to talk about Ghostbusters today. Think it's fortieth anniversary was previously discussed, and
• 17:36
  I think we should just really get right into it. What do you guys
• 17:38
  think? Are you into it? Yes? Yes, okay, Rob?
• 17:41
  Will you get it started with just a rough stops sure. After the members
• 17:47
  of a team of scientists lose their cushy positions at a university in New York
• 17:52
  City, they decide to become Ghostbusters to wage a high tech battle with a
• 17:56
  supernatural for money. They dumble upon a gateway to another dimension, a doorway
• 18:02
  that will release evil upon the city. The Ghostbusters must now save New York
• 18:07
  from complete destruction. Nice, nice, good work, good works. Let's
• 18:15
  go to Rotten Tomatoes and hear what they have to say. Critics have it
• 18:18
  coming in at a rock solid ninety five percent. Ninety five bro as the
• 18:23
  critics, that's crazy that I love it. Is higher than Oppenheimer from the
• 18:30
  critics, which is fair to us in forty years Oppenheimer, I mean,
• 18:33
  come on fair, Yeah, yeah, with it, I know which one
• 18:37
  I'd rather rewatch. Yeah, that that is true. Come true. Yeah,
• 18:42
  well we can watch one twice and one once, so that's true.
• 18:47
  That is also true. Yeah, audience members have this at eighty eight percent,
• 18:51
  so still very high, but lower, which I'm surprised by. Means
• 18:53
  I would have absolutely thought that would have been switched around. But I do
• 18:56
  feel like that. Do you think people made the mistake of trying to put
• 19:02
  a bad review for the other Ghostbusters movie and accidentally did it for the old
• 19:07
  one. Not a bad theory. I didn't hate that movie, by the
• 19:11
  way. It wasn't amazing, but it wasn't bad. We're gonna get We're
• 19:15
  going to get to that. We're gonna have some I have some things.
• 19:19
  I'm excited. I'm excited. Well, let's get into what we think.
• 19:22
  Let's it's time for our hot take. Take. That's a hot take more
• 19:33
  you're gonna call Okay, it was painful because it's been happening a lot,
• 19:38
  is what I saw. It was like something hot was happening to everyone,
• 19:42
  Yes, thank you, you get me across the streams certain rooms and are
• 19:56
  oh yeah, that's been brought up a few times. I can go first
• 20:00
  this one first. I feel like I don't really have a hot take other
• 20:02
  than this is one of my all time favorite movies. It's super great.
• 20:07
  I think the music in it is super fun, It's obviously wickedly hilarious.
• 20:14
  Yeah, I don't know, I just I really like this movie. It's
• 20:17
  it's scarier than I remember, not like scary scary, but like they really
• 20:22
  try to make it kind of moody, and I guess I mostly remember the
• 20:25
  comedy parts, but I thought it really worked. They had some I assume
• 20:27
  for the time, really cool visual effects and stuff that are maybe like a
• 20:33
  tiny bit showing their age, But to me, that just helps with the
• 20:37
  nostalgic part of it. Sure than like you know, a downside or anything
• 20:41
  like that. But yeah, I just think at the heart of it,
• 20:45
  this is a super silly, fun movie that has a bunch of great quips
• 20:49
  in it. I think I read in the trivia that like most every scene
• 20:55
  has at least some portion that's ad libbed, which totally makes sense. It
• 20:57
  feels that way and it just it doesn't take itself too seriously while also sticking
• 21:03
  to, you know, like a regular plot. And yeah, I just
• 21:07
  really liked it. I don't even know. I don't even know what else
• 21:11
  to say other than I would have gladly helped clean up the streets of New
• 21:15
  York from that marshmallow madness. Yeah. I really useful in that scenario.
• 21:21
  Yeah, I like that. Yeah, but that's all I got. That's
• 21:22
  the hottest take I've gotten. Hot take, buddy, very hot. I
• 21:27
  think this movie is so much fun. It brought me right back to when
• 21:33
  I was a kid watching it. And I brought this up to you the
• 21:34
  other debuts, but I distinctly remember having a buddy of mine sleepover when we
• 21:40
  were pretty young, and he was going through our movie collection and he wanted
• 21:42
  to watch Ghostbusters and I was like, yeah, and we started it,
• 21:48
  and it was that first scene in the library when the librarian is walking around
• 21:52
  and the books or floating and stuff, and I was like, I was
• 21:53
  like kind of starting to freak out and thinking I was going to like have
• 21:56
  nightmares or something. But I was like, maybe we should watch something else.
• 22:00
  I've seen this so many times. It's amore, right, But really
• 22:07
  I was just kind of freaking out. But watching that first scene really brought
• 22:11
  me back to that. This film was nominated for two Oscars, one for
• 22:17
  Best Visual Effects, Like you had said, it was you know, breaking
• 22:22
  ground at the time, and the other one was for Best Original Song for
• 22:29
  Ray Parker June. That makes a lot of sense iconic song. It was
• 22:33
  directed by Ivan Rightman, who's made some of our favorite comedies and a few
• 22:38
  we've done on the pod here like Stripes and Twins and Kindergarten Cop. He
• 22:45
  makes some funny movies. I always knew that Ramis and Ackroyd wrote it,
• 22:49
  but did not know that Rick Moranis was a writer on it as well.
• 22:55
  Until that's cool? Did he get a I only wonder if did he get
• 23:02
  a writing credit because I know he really like made up his whole character.
• 23:06
  So when you look at IMDb, he is on there as a writer.
• 23:10
  But I don't know if, Like I just wonder in the day because we
• 23:14
  can get into later with trivia right right, sure, his character, but
• 23:18
  I do from what I know, he like made up most of that,
• 23:22
  yeah, including the backstory and all that. So yeah, super cool.
• 23:26
  We can talk about that later for sure, but the cast was so much
• 23:30
  fun. They really gelled well together. I thought Bill Murray obviously is just
• 23:36
  the best. Such a fan, and this is another quintessential eighties film.
• 23:41
  The music, the fashion, the special effects. It's very very eighties.
• 23:45
  And yeah, this is just an iconic film that pretty much everyone knows or
• 23:51
  at the very least knows about. Such a big part of pop culture.
• 23:56
  They keep making more so even kids today are familiar with it. Just the
• 24:00
  gift that keeps on given. And I just think it's a very good time.
• 24:03
  I love it. Take Benny what you got, buddy. I mean,
• 24:10
  I'm just gonna I'm piggyback on a lot of what you guys said.
• 24:12
  I I'm not someone who can, ever, as I assume you guys are,
• 24:18
  say what my quote unquote favorite movie is. I think that's a real
• 24:22
  question for people like us. But undoubtedly when I get asked that question,
• 24:30
  this movie is brought up. There are a few movies I've seen more than
• 24:37
  this movie. And uh, you know, like Robbie you had the story
• 24:41
  about the sleepover. I vividly remember watching this movie when I had a babysitter,
• 24:51
  and I, I mean, I couldn't have been more than like,
• 24:52
  you know, five or six years old probably, and I remember she was
• 24:56
  like off playing with my my brother, and I just sat in the living
• 25:00
  room by myself and watched it. I don't think it was the first time
• 25:04
  I had seen it, but I just remember being that young and loving it.
• 25:07
  I just like loved it from the get go. Sure, and when
• 25:11
  people ask what your favorite Christmas present was ever, it was probably my Proton
• 25:17
  pack. Oh nice, because those were so cool and it was incredible.
• 25:23
  And I also, obviously I'm an actor now, so I liked dressing up
• 25:27
  when I was a kid, so it was like a costume and a toy.
• 25:33
  Anyway, this movie, I'm not a big get off my lawn person
• 25:37
  about things, you know. I don't like when people talk about millennials and
• 25:45
  the other generations. I'm always like, come on, everyone feels this way
• 25:48
  about every generation, but I really this is one of them. I'm like,
• 25:52
  do we make movies like this anymore? Because to your point, Viuds,
• 26:00
  it's a little creepy. And what I love about this movie is they
• 26:06
  just made a really cool action genre movie and then allow allowed the actors to
• 26:15
  kind of make it funny. I don't feel like this is written necessarily as
• 26:21
  a comedy. I feel like the comedy comes from letting like Bill Murray cook
• 26:25
  On said, and you know what I mean, And I just yeah,
• 26:30
  because there's not like a lot of like set up bits. There's not bits,
• 26:34
  there's no there's no slapstick. There's not even really joke lines per se.
• 26:38
  There's there's clever lines that are funny, but they're not outright laugh lines,
• 26:45
  which I love so much about this movie and like and movies. Of
• 26:48
  my closest comp obviously is Back to the Future, which I feel like is
• 26:55
  exactly in line with this movie, this high genre special EFFECTSI movie that again
• 27:02
  wasn't written funny, which clearly we know because uh, what's his name got
• 27:07
  fired two weeks in ER. But then you know, Michael J. Fox
• 27:15
  comes in with the same script and there's comedy, and I just I just
• 27:21
  appreciate that. I think nowadays they try, they try so hard to make
• 27:26
  things funny with funny stuff, and I think like Apatow maybe figured it out
• 27:32
  a little like let the actors just kind of do their thing. And Adam
• 27:34
  McKay and Adam McKay absolutely, but like Ugues, you brought up, we
• 27:41
  don't. I don't want to go on the tangent necessarily. Now with the
• 27:45
  reboot of Ghostbusters, I thought that was a great idea. I loved that
• 27:51
  it was women. I loved everything. But all they needed to do is
• 27:56
  write a cool action movie like these guys did and let all of those really
• 28:00
  funny women just do their thing, because they would have been funny regardless,
• 28:04
  Like you don't need to write Christian wigg and Melissa McCarthy Jokelis McCarthy. Yeah,
• 28:10
  sure they're going They're going to be funny, just like Bill Murray,
• 28:14
  Like you don't need to write them anything, like, let's just do this
• 28:17
  movie. And and so I just I love this kind of movie where they're
• 28:22
  not even trying to be funny, it just is funny. I actually think
• 28:25
  the f VFX hold up surprisingly well. Yeah, for sure, they mix
• 28:30
  between animatronics and animation and stop motion or whatever, you know, all the
• 28:37
  things. The Yeah, the only things that looked pretty dated were just the
• 28:41
  actual proton packs. Sure, yeah, that was sure. I thought looked
• 28:48
  so great. Well, yeah it was so cool, and like the ghosts
• 28:52
  were really cool. It was just those those proton packs that looked a little
• 28:57
  and some of the like lasers flying through the city. Of course, the
• 29:00
  gross were like rising. But I mean again, it's everyone's so quick to
• 29:07
  see GI nowadays because it's so easy that you know. Yeah, and it
• 29:11
  doesn't always look better, right, I missed a little of the creativity.
• 29:14
  But yeah, yeah, I just this is one of my favorite movies of
• 29:18
  all time. And I just I love it so much. Hot hot,
• 29:22
  hot take. Oh, I love it. I love it. Well,
• 29:26
  let's let's attempt to not cross the streams as we name our favorite acting performance.
• 29:30
  Let's name the dude the dude. I'm the dude, so that's what
• 29:36
  you call me, you know that, or his dudeness or duder or you
• 29:42
  know, eldudo reno if you're not into the whole brevity thing. Yeah,
• 29:45
  I think the streams are going to be crossed here. It will be my
• 29:48
  guest, But Benny, what's your favorite acting performance? You guys don't need
• 29:53
  to go first, Yeah, yes, sure, you. I mean,
• 30:00
  look, obviously Bill Murray is the star turn here. Yeah, but that's
• 30:07
  my pick for sure. It's not really a question, no, and it
• 30:14
  he's one of those movies where I would love to I'm sure you can find
• 30:18
  it pretty easily just read the like shooting script for this. I would love
• 30:23
  to know what was actually written for him, because it cannot be that much
• 30:29
  way. I mean, my goodness, And look, he's always been like
• 30:33
  this, but you know, he just always has something to say, but
• 30:40
  it's always so it's so well, it's so subtle. He's just so subtle
• 30:45
  as opposed as opposed to like Will Ferrell or you know, Kevin you know,
• 30:51
  people of our kind of newer generation now, like he's so or something.
• 30:56
  Yeah, Like he's just so subtle and so dry and just kind of
• 31:03
  in command of every scene. His delivery is always so funny. I mean,
• 31:08
  you know, I don't know, it's it's it's just so wonderful.
• 31:12
  Has he had like the most successful career of someone who really just plays himself
• 31:18
  basically every time, you know what I mean, or the same ish guy
• 31:22
  every time. Anyway, I think that's really fun and interesting, but it
• 31:26
  always works. I always like it. Yeah, I mean well, and
• 31:30
  look, I mean playing quote unquote yourself is still very difficult. I mean
• 31:37
  you're saying, and he and he's someone who, yeah, playing himself,
• 31:41
  but he's also just writing a movie as he goes essentially totally. And he's
• 31:48
  also you know, famously has no agent. Still, I think you just
• 31:51
  like call him on his stuff secret line, right, Isn't that how he
• 31:55
  ended up getting Garfield because it was by someone named Cohen or something and he
• 32:00
  thought it was the Coen Brothers. It was like Cohen like, yeah,
• 32:06
  yeah, so I want we don't need I mean, I would like to
• 32:12
  talk about the other actors since there's not that many of them, is but
• 32:15
  if you guys want to talk about uh yeah, I mean Bill Murray one
• 32:19
  hundred percent, I have no notes, he's perfect. Yeah, yeah,
• 32:22
  so we can. Let's let's go to the Tucci. Well, I would
• 32:27
  just like to say, well, just co co dude, I do you
• 32:30
  know the three because the three of them really are like a unit in this
• 32:35
  movie. Yeah, I just feel like they they all need each other as
• 32:39
  far as this award goes. I just you know, when we did Great
• 32:45
  Outdoors, I think I said, my the best three Achrooyd performances ever were
• 32:52
  Great Outdoors, My Girl and Ghostbusters. Sure. And I do think he's
• 33:00
  just he's really lovely in this movie, just playing like a normal dude.
• 33:02
  He's very nerdy, very nerdy, but he's always kind of got that nerd
• 33:07
  to him. Yeah, I guess I'm jumping on Tucci, but I just
• 33:15
  want to talk about everyone, you know. I am sorry, absolutely,
• 33:16
  yeah, I get it. Move along, Please stop me. Yeah,
• 33:21
  well, let's see the Tucci Award, Tauty, do you want to start
• 33:25
  with dan Aykroyd. Benny is so good, Just like Aldie said, I
• 33:30
  just think he's he's just so he's so normal in this movie, because in
• 33:36
  SNL he's always playing a big character. And I when we did Great Outdoors,
• 33:39
  you know, I talked about how I thought I thought that was such
• 33:42
  a very specific character he came up with. Yeah, and I think he's
• 33:46
  I don't necessarily think he's like the greatest actor per se, but I think
• 33:52
  when he's very specific about what he's doing, he can be really good.
• 33:55
  Sure, And I think in this one he's just really being a good just
• 34:02
  a very regular He's kind of the most grounded dude of the three of them.
• 34:07
  I guess. Yeah, so you can make the case for you can
• 34:09
  make the case for Egon and him, I guess. But yeah, I
• 34:13
  was gonna say that too. His like excitedness for what was happening really He's
• 34:20
  got like a fun, fun innocence about him. He's he's kind of a
• 34:23
  dufus, but like really knows the stuff too. Yeah, I love that.
• 34:27
  That's great. There's such a fun trio. They really are. And
• 34:31
  Harold Ramis, I mean, I I just I feel like they all need
• 34:35
  to be talked about, because, Yeah, it's a good trio. Ramis
• 34:40
  is so committed to the high nerd buttoness, very serious. He's more serious
• 34:47
  than Dank, right, Yeah, but his seriousness is funny too. Yeah,
• 34:52
  and I just look good. I think they do such a good job
• 34:55
  together. They do so please someone else. I was gonna give the Tucci
• 35:04
  to Rick Moranis as totally what a delight he is after Bill Murray. He's
• 35:10
  the guy I think about in this movie when I'm just looking back, and
• 35:14
  just how goofy he was in this so funny. I loved how he always
• 35:19
  knew when Sigourney Weaver was coming home, even in the middle of that party
• 35:22
  and she's tiptoeing by his apartment. Still pops his head out. But yeah,
• 35:29
  him being the key master was just so much fun. It's incredible.
• 35:32
  Is this the time to talk about that or is that a trivia thing absolutely,
• 35:37
  Yeah, yeah, talk about it. I know this role was written
• 35:39
  for John Candy, right, and yeah, he had come up with all
• 35:45
  this stuff like he was going to be a German and like, yes,
• 35:51
  he's going to be a dog breeder. That was one of the big things
• 35:53
  that he would not He said, I have to be this like, well,
• 35:58
  no, they're these big dogs in this and people are going to be
• 36:00
  confused. Right, yeah, did he does not want to do it?
• 36:05
  Was he like, I have a vacation planned for the same time. Well
• 36:08
  it wouldn't. I mean, he wasn't like a big star yet. I
• 36:13
  mean, I I don't know that's true. It's just it's weird. This
• 36:15
  whole thing is weird because it it seems to go against everything else I've ever
• 36:20
  heard about John Candy. Yeah, Like, I don't remember ever being like
• 36:22
  the type of person who's like, I have these choices in this and that's
• 36:28
  how it's gonna be. So I don't know, and I don't I don't
• 36:30
  remember if did they just decide to go a different direction or did it end
• 36:35
  up he just couldn't do it. Did splash happen maybe or yeah, I
• 36:39
  don't remember when happened? Yeah, they just went. I think they just
• 36:44
  went like they were like, Okay, what's not gonna work. We're going
• 36:46
  a different way. Sorry audience, if you know, And we just didn't
• 36:50
  research it. But but also what I've basically read is that Rick moranis came
• 36:55
  up with his whole shtick, the whole tax cp A thing, the whole
• 37:04
  kind of everything other than obviously there where he ends up in the story,
• 37:08
  but which is so perfect, such a it's so great, and it's just
• 37:15
  it's it's one of those things like the movie doesn't quote unquote need that backstory,
• 37:20
  but it's right, it's wonderful, and I am still I'm still so
• 37:25
  hopeful. I'm seeing the new one on Thursday this week, and I'm so
• 37:31
  hopeful he's going to be in it. I haven't looked. I don't want
• 37:35
  to know, like, but he will. But it would it would delight
• 37:39
  me to no end if he just even just showed up for a second,
• 37:43
  like, I would just be so happy. It really would. It would
• 37:46
  be so great. I mean only if he wants to, obviously and all
• 37:50
  that, but it would be as it would be really great. I don't
• 37:53
  care if he wants to. I don't care what he wants. I want
• 37:58
  to get on a plane, Come on, Rick, I just watched a
• 38:01
  Parenthood the other night, just for a little fun. Rewatch Wong Time as
• 38:07
  one of my all time faves. I love that movie. Little Joaquin,
• 38:12
  Right, wasn't Joaquin the kid? Little Joaquin? Dude? The cast Keanu,
• 38:19
  Diane West, Mary Mary Steinberg, and Jason Robards. A lot of
• 38:27
  oscars in that movie. Yeah that's man so good. Love that well,
• 38:37
  you guys said a bunch of the ones. I was gonna pick all throughout.
• 38:39
  Annie Potts here as Janine Melnitz because she's just so right. And part
• 38:45
  of what I loved about Harold Raymons's performance was those two interacting together. She's
• 38:52
  flirting with him so hard, and I just like, doesn't get it,
• 39:00
  comes around a little and but yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure he
• 39:02
  is just stonewalling are hard, But I love her. She's such a fun
• 39:08
  character. She's just so like so Sonati and whatever and has that great voice
• 39:15
  and I just love her. I didn't realize, and maybe it's because I'm
• 39:19
  older now, but like she was so young in this like kind of remembered
• 39:23
  her being like middle aged more but at least super super young when we were
• 39:30
  kids, you know, right right, Yeah, but now I'm like,
• 39:32
  oh, well she's a babe like and she's pretty young, and it's great.
• 39:37
  Yeah, I just thought of the line. But I think it's Ghostbusters
• 39:40
  too. And when Vankan's like he's still charming the chicks with that big cranium
• 39:47
  a year's home and he's like, I think they're more interested in my epididymous.
• 39:53
  I think that's too though, that's for another pod. Yes, yes,
• 39:59
  so good. Sigourney Weaver was pretty great. I mean, we can't
• 40:02
  talk about her. She deserves an Academy Award just for not breaking sirius.
• 40:08
  Bill Murray is just saying all those things. She's trying to be zuel.
• 40:14
  There is even I do say, though, I swear there's a couple of
• 40:19
  times in the movie where I'm really I feel like she's trying hard not to.
• 40:22
  Yeah. Yeah, probably I didn't obviously notice till later in life.
• 40:27
  But also what a brilliant casting, like for the time, just she was
• 40:31
  kind of the alien was so big. Yeah, just kind of the queen
• 40:37
  of science fiction a little bit obviously with like Carrie Fisher at the time.
• 40:43
  But yeah, you know, so good but also flexing, like she does
• 40:46
  the full one eighty in this movie from She's almost in a procedural crime show
• 40:57
  rom com and then just goes full science fiction in the same It's impressive.
• 41:05
  Yeah, agreed, I just fact she was good at her career of like
• 41:08
  doing different stuff. Yeah, yes, movies and then I'm in Working Girl
• 41:15
  and then I'm you know, and she's wonderful she is. And has there
• 41:22
  ever been a more unlikable character than William Atherton in every single thing that he
• 41:29
  does. Man, this guy is a god to the core. It seems
• 41:31
  he's so smart, however so good. I don't know, is this the
• 41:37
  time to have this conversation. Yes, Walter Pack is not really a villain.
• 41:47
  Here's the thing the e p A. Yeah, yes, his actual
• 41:51
  character. Yeah, Walter Pack is his name. Yes, Rayam Atherton definitely
• 41:54
  has smarm to him. But the funny thing is is thank goodness they cast
• 42:00
  him, because this dude comes into Venkman's office and Venkman is immediately a total
• 42:10
  to him for zero reason, and my man is in there asking wildly logical
• 42:20
  questions and it's just like you know, I mean, Venkman comes in just
• 42:28
  hot for no reason. It's just already a butthole of this dude. And
• 42:31
  yes again William Ethergon wonderful, smarmy, and thank God to cast him,
• 42:37
  because if that had been like a nice dude, we'd all be like,
• 42:38
  why is Peter Fankman relaxed? Nan could have diffused that situation easy, like
• 42:49
  come on man. Also the EPA and to his point later on, so
• 42:57
  just because we shut the power down, the freaking apocalypse happens. They had
• 43:02
  some fair questions, that's all I'm saying. Absolutely did well, and they
• 43:07
  there's only three people that know how to run that, right, and like
• 43:09
  they didn't even tell their new fourth guy how to do stuff like I mean,
• 43:17
  Ray gave him a thirty second to the things actually real simple, open
• 43:24
  the trap, inswered the tank, No, undo the trap, traps clean
• 43:30
  the thing. I'm like, you just did like thirty steps, bro.
• 43:32
  You told him in like fives, like it took us longer to train people
• 43:37
  at Dairy Queen when I worked there. You know, well that's serious business,
• 43:42
  to be fair to your point, you know, this is also on
• 43:47
  one one in three hundred millionth time watching this movie. That no, right,
• 43:54
  it is funny though, really it's a real thing, a point in
• 44:01
  his he was but casting that dude plays a wonderful, smarmy die Hard like
• 44:09
  we die Hard. We hate him in die Hard. Is that is that
• 44:13
  two? He's in both? He's in one and two. Yeah, what
• 44:17
  is his role? I don't even remember? That's right, he's yeah,
• 44:23
  yeah, and she like punches him out after she comes down there. No,
• 44:28
  that's just too though, right, because she meets him on the plane.
• 44:31
  That's that's on that's in one. That's in both. Man, I
• 44:35
  think he's into both of them. Yeah, maybe it's also in Biodome,
• 44:40
  which is what I know him best from. Wow, that's hilarious. That's
• 44:44
  hilarious. Biodome way too much. But then we didn't talk about Ernie.
• 44:50
  We gotta talk about Ernie Hudson. He was great Ernie. Actually I feel
• 44:53
  bad for Ernie. Yeah, apparently his part was bigger. Yeah, apparently
• 45:01
  I was supposed to originally go to Eddie Murphy, right, And there was
• 45:05
  like a whole big backstory about him being I think in the military or something
• 45:10
  in the military explosives and stuff like that, and I guess they kind of
• 45:15
  they kind of pulled the rugout from under him, like the day before they
• 45:20
  started, he had agreed to do it for less money, and then when
• 45:23
  he got there on set, they had cut his part a bunch and he
• 45:28
  just had less to do, which is kind of a bummer. Which is
• 45:30
  funny because again, this is a perfect movie and it's the greatest thing ever
• 45:37
  or whatever. But right, having watched it four million times, like this
• 45:43
  movie could easily be twenty five minutes longer. I mean right, right,
• 45:49
  you know, it was quick, so many things could have gotten a little
• 45:52
  more like flat. I mean, you know today, if this came out,
• 45:54
  it'd be over two hours for sure. I think, what is it's
• 45:58
  like one forty five or something. It's I think so yeah. I mean
• 46:02
  I wasn't mad at it. No, I'm not. I'm not mad at
• 46:05
  at all. But you know, yeah, a little a little fleshed out
• 46:08
  of his character wouldn't have been bad. But he's just funny because he's kind
• 46:14
  of our like he's us a little bit. Yeah, he's like, what
• 46:16
  the hell are you talking about? You know, like catch me up here
• 46:21
  or whatever. You know. Well, it's funny too because you know at
• 46:23
  that point they're kind of like famous. Yeah, and he's the only one
• 46:29
  coming to apply, right, you know, it seems like they'd have like
• 46:32
  a line out the door for people, and I feel like it'd almost be
• 46:37
  cool if it was like, well, this dude's got military experience and yeah,
• 46:40
  you know, everyone else is just kind of a some some like butthole
• 46:45
  like us, like I want to be a ghost booster like you see real
• 46:50
  ghost this. But I even thought, I even thought in the in the
• 46:54
  scene in the Mayor's office, you know, if he was like, look,
• 46:58
  I'm I'm retired Marine Corps. You know, I don't know. I
• 47:04
  just like that backstory. I think it's cool. I do too, but
• 47:07
  whatever, it's he did good with what they gave him, for sure,
• 47:10
  and he was you fit right in and was funny and great. Yeah yeah,
• 47:15
  and like you said, a nice a nice like you know us us
• 47:21
  looking for you, yes, right, yeah, And speaking of Diehard,
• 47:25
  wasn't it fun Sie and Reginald Deville Johnson for a second? Yes, I
• 47:30
  kind of forgot he was in yes second yeah, yeah, not very long
• 47:36
  for sure. Yeah, but it was fun. Well, I've read an
• 47:37
  interview with him before that he had like been trying forever and just one of
• 47:44
  those like he was really close to calling it, and then die Hard happened
• 47:51
  crazy and he was like, I feel like I heard those stories a lot.
• 47:54
  Yes, for sure, I'm sure I'll have one soon for you.
• 48:02
  I have one. I have one every time until you guys tell me we're
• 48:06
  going to do the pod and then I and then you get get some job.
• 48:08
  So appreciate you. I love it. Yeah, was there anybody else
• 48:14
  you guys wanted to chat about? Characterise? Think? So? All right,
• 48:22
  Well then why don't we go and talk about our favorite scene? And
• 48:23
  let's pick the Dinguss is quite simple, really, Dingus, Dingus. I
• 48:30
  could talk about my Dingus all night long. Benny, you know this movie
• 48:36
  better than us. It's tough. Can you pick a favorite scene? It's
• 48:42
  tough for me. It's really tough. I mean, oh, I mean,
• 48:50
  look, I can never because this is almost to me like a superhero
• 48:58
  movie A little bit sure, because you know, when I was kid,
• 49:01
  I loved dressing up and I loved you know, so I loved like original
• 49:06
  Superman and original Batman. And you know this because they they're kind of like
• 49:12
  superheroes. You know. I think when you when you get an action figure
• 49:16
  line and a cartoon, we can we can put you in that in that
• 49:21
  category. So you know, I think the first time they suit up is
• 49:27
  pretty great, and I would I would, I guess I would put into
• 49:31
  a clump just the the slimer sequence, well yeah, just the they're at
• 49:37
  the table and Chinese food and they get the call down the pole, first
• 49:42
  time you see the car, first time you see them geared up, and
• 49:46
  then just into the hotel sequence. Yeah, yeah, is pretty great.
• 49:52
  I mean, you know again, it's like a superhero move. It's like
• 49:53
  the first time you see see someone geared up. Yes, and it's epic.
• 50:01
  I also love that it starts with her like we got you know,
• 50:06
  like it's so good. This scene leading up to it is even funny.
• 50:08
  You know him, I'm gonna need to draw some petty cash. I should
• 50:14
  take her out to dinner and we don't want to lose. Well, this
• 50:17
  magnificent feast represents the last of the petty cash and then slow down, chew
• 50:23
  your food. But yeah, her with the we got one bell ring into
• 50:30
  the into the music is it's so good. Well, you know, you
• 50:37
  know Akroyd. The music is so blues brothers, the achroy the not orchestrated
• 50:44
  music which we should also talk about later too, But so yeah, I
• 50:49
  mean I would have loved an actual gear Up show us gear Up scene,
• 50:53
  but I love it. I love that. Yeah. If if we combined
• 51:00
  that into the slimer sequence, them just destroying that hotel in that ballroom was
• 51:09
  so funny, dude, and then just like, oh, well we'll put
• 51:13
  it back, no problem, you don't want to pay, that's fine.
• 51:15
  Yeah, yeah, right. I love all of that, and the fact
• 51:21
  that they've just never even tested anything. They yeah and be fine. Clearly
• 51:27
  these things could just murder someone. Yep, we never we never see someone
• 51:32
  just actually get wrecked with one of these. We almost lost a maid,
• 51:37
  but we didn't totally totally. Yeah, they had already started using their proton
• 51:44
  packs. And then you gos like, oh yeah, I forgot to tell
• 51:45
  you don't cross the streams. Don't do that because cataclysmic event. That's fine.
• 51:52
  It's basically yeah, we're just creating a black hole the Earth will get
• 51:58
  sucked into, so try not to try not to do that. I would
• 52:02
  I would absolutely pick that for The dingis a runner up. When I think
• 52:08
  of this movie, I think of the Staypuff marshmallow Man. Yeah, so
• 52:12
  that final action sequence they're on the roof, Goeser says, pick who you
• 52:16
  want is your destroyer. I couldn't just dead ak Roight. So he's so
• 52:22
  good in that scene. His vacant expression during that is so great. I
• 52:27
  love it so much of the sweetest thing, even the staypuff thing in this
• 52:31
  movie. For some reason, maybe it's just the way they had to do
• 52:34
  it then with no CGI, but like it seems so much less slapsticky to
• 52:39
  me than would be done today, you know what I'm saying, Like today,
• 52:45
  I think there would be gags with the people. It wouldn't seem like
• 52:50
  they were basically like, Nope, we're gonna make a Godzilla movie here right
• 52:52
  now, right, it just is gonna be this marshmallow man. But they
• 52:57
  took it really seriously, and because there there'd be someone like taking a shower
• 53:05
  and dropping you know, like the shampoo or something as they saw him walk
• 53:08
  by. Or Yeah, I just like, I just feel like there'd be
• 53:10
  a bunch of stuff. There'd be so many gags in there now, and
• 53:14
  they don't do any of that. They're just like, no, this is
• 53:15
  super scary and everyone is scared. Yeah, and he like legit when he
• 53:22
  starts like climbing up the building looks scary and he's on fire and he's it's
• 53:25
  terrifying. And have you have you guys ever seen the behind the scenes of
• 53:30
  that where they built out the full model city. Yeah, it's so cool.
• 53:35
  Like it's like a person in a costume walking through like a model city.
• 53:39
  Cool. It's really me It looks so great, I mean, but
• 53:43
  yeah, yeah, amazing. Yeah, that's for sure up there, bigs,
• 53:49
  did you have one? Buddy? Those were the two that I like,
• 53:52
  were really had up there. And I'm with you, guys, if
• 53:53
  we take the whole slimer thing and everything, I'm in on that one hundred
• 53:57
  percent. I also just love the the who you Gonna call them montage where
• 54:01
  they're just kicking butt and like, right, basically, yeah, that's true,
• 54:07
  it really does right add that on. Yeah, it's just so fun.
• 54:10
  I love a montage scene anyway, right, but like the scene is
• 54:15
  yeah, exactly exactly, and then just it's fun to see them succeed and
• 54:21
  whatever and then they get all tired and I don't know, I just love
• 54:24
  that whole scene. I think it's super super fun. And I loved the
• 54:29
  first scene where they're like all the all the practical effects that they're doing with
• 54:34
  pulling the books and stuff like that with the librarian. I think it's super
• 54:37
  fun and it it really sets the tone because it's it is scary and creepy,
• 54:42
  but they're also so funny, you know that. It's just like a
• 54:45
  great time. So they do such a good job of introducing us to the
• 54:49
  three of them, yes, in the first like fifteen ten minutes, Yeah,
• 54:54
  without doing any exposition. Really. I mean you obviously meet van Veankman
• 55:02
  right off the bat being being him with the girl in the gap, Yeah,
• 55:10
  being a huge nerd and just blah blah blah. And immediately we get
• 55:15
  into the library and Egon is just super Vankman's messing with them. I just
• 55:20
  feel like you get their relationship instantly, and then the way they deal with
• 55:25
  the ghost in the library, you get to see all of their stop that
• 55:31
  yeah, yeah, get her. I also have one more honorable mention,
• 55:42
  and this is just because me as a kid, I love so much,
• 55:45
  is just after they go to jail. It's basically the same as the first
• 55:52
  reveal of them, but after they go to jail and then they go to
• 55:55
  the Mayor's office, and the Mayor's like, what do you need? And
• 56:00
  then we just bust into I love them arriving at her building and they're just
• 56:06
  everyone's just jacked up. They got the full police, you know, National
• 56:13
  Guard escort, and they roll out and it's just awesome. And then it
• 56:17
  rolls into this sweet action scene and they go from actually filming on Central Park
• 56:22
  West to obviously a stage and do the whole crazy earthquake thing, and then
• 56:30
  that happens, and then they get up and everyone cheers again, and then
• 56:34
  they're back in and then they immediately cut to them just tired up the stairs.
• 56:42
  Let me know, when we get to twenty, I'm gonna throw up.
• 56:44
  But honestly, rewatching rewatching that scene from a filmmaking standpoint, it looks
• 56:49
  amazing like they really are on Central Park West, because that building is a
• 56:52
  real building. Yeah, and then they clearly built that block and then did
• 56:58
  that whole Universal Studios type earthquake right bit. And then there's a shot where
• 57:05
  I think they have some of the street coming up, but they're back in
• 57:07
  actual New York. It's just an animpressive movie thing where they're back and forth
• 57:15
  between a sound stage and the actual street. And it looks awesome. It
• 57:21
  does it still looks awesome forty years later, which is wildly impressive. No,
• 57:28
  for sure. My runner up scene was Vankman having his date with Zuell.
• 57:35
  Oh so funny. He goes to her apartment. She's all dressed up
• 57:38
  with their like seductive makeup on, but every single thing that comes out of
• 57:44
  Bill Murray's mouth is so so funny. Yeah, It's like, I don't
• 57:49
  understand how she was able to not break because it was so different for you,
• 57:55
  especially then when she's trying to be like next Level series were in a
• 58:01
  super sci fi I just found that so impressive on this last three watchers,
• 58:08
  Like, wow, yeah, I love that's again. I really want to
• 58:13
  see that shooting script because yeah, I'm like, did they write one line
• 58:16
  for him? Probably not. I mean it was good, It's crazy,
• 58:23
  it was really good. But yeah, I'm all about this shooting up and
• 58:29
  the Slimmer sequence. Hell yeah, man, that's our think about that that
• 58:36
  spawned. I mean that that alone spawned the cartoon and the whole big time
• 58:42
  Slimer was a huge part of that all huge. Everybody loves Slimmer for sure.
• 58:49
  I mean yeah, and honestly, I thought Slimmer was a bigger role,
• 58:52
  right because of how big he got after that totally. Yeah, yeah,
• 59:00
  well I think he's the only he's the only ghost in the movie that
• 59:02
  when you think about it from that perspective, it's like kind of fun,
• 59:08
  fun could be fun, and everything else is kind of like an actual creepy
• 59:15
  thing, which I love. But you know, Slimmer's green and kind of
• 59:22
  cute. M hmm. Yeah. Yeah, Well we've already said some fun
• 59:27
  quotes, but I think it's time to show me the mody show. They
• 59:34
  show me whyn't you get a started with some quotes. But you guys,
• 59:43
  it's just it's funny that I said. There's not really like laugh out loud
• 59:46
  lines written in the film. But then I'm looking at quotes. I'm like,
• 59:51
  they're pretty funny. Oh for sure, Yeah, so good. But
• 59:55
  again they're so uh, they're so kill are so subtle. Like like the
• 1:00:02
  first the first scene when the dude gets pissed that veankman's shocking him. He's
• 1:00:07
  like, well, I'm getting a little tired of this. But you volunteered,
• 1:00:12
  didn't you. We're paying you, aren't we. I'm like, well,
• 1:00:15
  he volunteered and you're paying him. Those are different things, or then
• 1:00:21
  that love. I love that he got that last one and still he's still
• 1:00:27
  he still just messes with him for no no, just for no reason.
• 1:00:34
  Couldn't even give him one. He's just like I get rid of this book,
• 1:00:37
  dude. Yeah. Or in the right away in the library, reg's
• 1:00:43
  uh, listen you smell something. Yeah, that's good, so good.
• 1:00:49
  I laughed really hard at that. Or bankman questioning the are you many menstruating
• 1:00:55
  right now? Yes? What has that got to do with it? What
• 1:01:00
  has that got to do with it? Back off? Man, I'm a
• 1:01:02
  Scientist's I mean? Uh, dickless. Oh that scene is great? Is
• 1:01:13
  this truth? Yes, your honor, this man has no dick in that
• 1:01:17
  line that killed me. That was one of those like h like the planes,
• 1:01:22
  trains and automobiles, dots in fing corvette. Yes, I didn't know
• 1:01:28
  about until I was older because we had we had this on tape from TV.
• 1:01:32
  Oh sure, so like I never never knew they said, dicklas that's
• 1:01:37
  funny. Yeah. I love After that, you just kind of hear in
• 1:01:42
  the background, like Bill Murray isn't there, and you just hear, well,
• 1:01:45
  that's what I heard. Yeah, yes, exactly, dude. There's
• 1:01:54
  something I mean, Bill Murray off screen, like nine times this movie,
• 1:01:59
  you hear some same thing. I mean, one thing we've yelled forever is
• 1:02:06
  go get her Ray. Yeah, go get her Ray. Such a good
• 1:02:10
  callback. I love. I love when I love the party at Louis Lewis's
• 1:02:19
  place. Rick Moranis he's like, he's like, I'm giving this whole thing
• 1:02:23
  as a promotional expense. That's why I invited clients instead of friends. You
• 1:02:28
  having a good time, mark and then just just fully outing people's full tax
• 1:02:34
  info and Fette Fleming's mortgage situation. All right, good you guys, go
• 1:02:49
  ahead. There's so many we came, we saw, we kicked it.
• 1:02:54
  Yes, I love that one great dist ever, m oh. I just
• 1:03:00
  love when they're saying, when they're listing off all the horrible things that are
• 1:03:06
  happening in bankment's like human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.
• 1:03:12
  All right, all right, I get the point. So good.
• 1:03:15
  I love that. That's so good. When he's at Dana's house and she's
• 1:03:22
  Zuel, She's like, there is no Dana, only Zuel. It's like,
• 1:03:25
  what a lovely singing voice. You must have what about what about?
• 1:03:30
  Uh, well that's the bedroom. Nothing ever happened in there? Yeah?
• 1:03:35
  What a crime? What crime? Uh? And she's she says, I
• 1:03:42
  want you inside me. He says, go ahead, No, I can't.
• 1:03:46
  It sounds like you've got at least two or three people in there already.
• 1:03:54
  I loved that mug. You can say somebody one. Right after that
• 1:04:00
  is when he's like, I make it a rule never to get involved with
• 1:04:02
  possessed people. And then she kisses him and he's like, it's more of
• 1:04:05
  a guideline than a rule. I think it's so good. I love that.
• 1:04:12
  I think it's the first time he sees slimer. I'm pretty sure.
• 1:04:15
  Yeah, it's gotta be, because he's like, come in, Ray,
• 1:04:18
  He's right here, Ray, He's looking at me Ray. And then Ray's
• 1:04:23
  like he's an ugly little sput, isn't he? And he's like, I
• 1:04:26
  think he can hear you, Ray. I just love that whole sequence.
• 1:04:30
  It's so funny. Uh, twenty four hours a day, seven days a
• 1:04:34
  week, no job too big, no fee too big as they're talking on
• 1:04:39
  the TV. So funny. Oh she's not my girlfriend. I find her
• 1:04:46
  interesting because she's a client and she sleeps above her covers, four feet above
• 1:04:51
  her covers. Yeah, that's it. Rools. Yes. Yes. Also,
• 1:05:01
  Ray, when someone asked you if you're a god, you say yes.
• 1:05:05
  That is that's got to be up there for one of the that's on
• 1:05:09
  from this movie. That is the craziest, weirdest line. But it's so
• 1:05:14
  funny for some reason, coming from yeah you say yes. I don't even
• 1:05:21
  I don't really know what that means, but it's it's hilarious. Uh oh
• 1:05:27
  when they're leaving the Mayor's office and he's like, I'm going to get you
• 1:05:30
  a nice fruit basket. Oh, I'm gonna miss him. I'm going to
• 1:05:33
  miss him. It's his delivery man. It's so good. I'm gonna miss
• 1:05:40
  him. And even if we are right you, Lenny will be responsible for
• 1:05:46
  saving the lives of millions of registered voters. Yes. I love the cut
• 1:05:53
  to the bishop at that point and he's like, ye, right, he's
• 1:05:57
  right. Funny. And then the last one that I had I think was
• 1:06:02
  the uh it's uh, what's her name? The secretary? Why can't think
• 1:06:06
  of her name right now? When Janine is out there with with the nerdy
• 1:06:13
  guy Remis and she's just like you're so kind to take care of that man.
• 1:06:17
  You know, you're a real humanitarian. And he's like, I don't
• 1:06:20
  think he's human. That just cracked me up. It's like, okay,
• 1:06:26
  guy, actually just take the hand that made me think of one. And
• 1:06:30
  it's something that I actually use for comedy and other people do too. But
• 1:06:35
  when when Bill Murray's like type something, well, you were paying for this
• 1:06:42
  stuff, yeh, don't he goes, don't steer at me. You got
• 1:06:45
  the bug eyes, Janine. Sorry about the bug eyes thing. I'll be
• 1:06:49
  in my office. It's still one of my favorite jokes to be like,
• 1:06:55
  oh god, Robbie, look at your big fat head. Hey Robbie,
• 1:07:00
  you remember back when I said you had a big fat head. I didn't
• 1:07:05
  mean that. I'm sorry about that. I'm sorry about that. I just
• 1:07:09
  love the immediate apology. Yes, the instant like contritions. Okay, yeah,
• 1:07:15
  I love that. I've had time to think about it and I'm sorry.
• 1:07:19
  Another thing that I loved was after when they're in the ballroom, he's
• 1:07:24
  like, wait, wait, I've always wanted to do this, and then
• 1:07:27
  he pulls the the tablecloth and you just hear again off camera and flowers are
• 1:07:34
  still standing. And you know the amazing part about that, you know,
• 1:07:39
  damn well that was Bill Murray just being like, I have actually always wanted
• 1:07:43
  to do this, Yeah, for sure going to do it. I've always
• 1:07:45
  wanted to try to yank the tablecloth. I love that. And when she's
• 1:07:50
  saying when she brings him to his apartment to check out the refrigerator, she
• 1:07:55
  says this voice said zuel, and then I slammed the refrigerator door and I
• 1:07:58
  left. That was two days ago and I haven't been back to my apartment.
• 1:08:00
  It's like, generally you don't see that kind of behavior in a major
• 1:08:03
  appliance. So also, oh my god, look at all the junk food.
• 1:08:15
  Actually eat this. Yeah, that's good. That was all I wrote
• 1:08:23
  down. Well, I have one more, but it could lead into one
• 1:08:25
  more quick discussion. What's our next topic. Moments before we do that,
• 1:08:32
  I would like to just have a two second conversation about the score of this
• 1:08:38
  movie. Okay, but I love I love the line and I was love
• 1:08:44
  when this happens in the movie, when Bill Murray goes ray, call it
• 1:08:49
  change, call it fate, call it karma. You know this is a
• 1:08:55
  word, and I just he like clearly just improvised that on set, but
• 1:09:00
  score matches is a key that he's doing his little improvin interesting and I think
• 1:09:06
  it's brilliant because you'll notice he goes call it, call it karma, and
• 1:09:13
  underneath them they hit the same chord that he's doing. But fun, that
• 1:09:17
  had to have happened after the fact because when they score the movie. I
• 1:09:23
  think the score of this movie is really great. I like, yeah,
• 1:09:27
  I like it because it's creepy and it's really appropriate. But but it's weird
• 1:09:31
  compared to other scores like Back to the Future, because the main theme was
• 1:09:36
  like a pop song. Yeah, yeah, like an R and B pop
• 1:09:42
  song kind of yeah, it's fun, which is so weird to me to
• 1:09:45
  think of someone being like, you're gonna score the movie and it does have
• 1:09:49
  a theme, like the movie has a scored theme, but like the main
• 1:09:54
  popular song is like obviously the Ghostbusters song. Yeah yeah, I think they
• 1:10:01
  did a really good Like you said, the like moody bits are my favorite
• 1:10:04
  bits. I think of the score itself, like they do a really great
• 1:10:10
  job with that. I don't know, that's really awesome. When in the
• 1:10:12
  library, it's like, yeah, but it's always a different instrument doing it.
• 1:10:18
  It's really it's pretty amazing. That's cool. Creepy and creepy. Isn't
• 1:10:25
  it weird that Huey Lewis was supposed to do this movie and he also did
• 1:10:30
  Back to the Future. That's weird. Oh, he was supposed to write
• 1:10:33
  there like theme song. No, they they they had, like, I
• 1:10:38
  guess, cut the movie to Huey Lewis's I Want a New Drug. That
• 1:10:45
  was gonna be yeah really and so then so this was trivia, I guess.
• 1:10:49
  But yes, the Ghostbuster song come like way last minute, way last
• 1:10:56
  minute, And that's why because then Huey Lewis and the News ended up putting
• 1:11:00
  it in a different movie that did not do anywhere near as well, and
• 1:11:04
  they said they couldn't use it, and so they had to pivot like they'd
• 1:11:10
  already edited the movie and they had to pivot to go to Ray Parker Junior
• 1:11:16
  and he had to do it fast, so it had to be the exact
• 1:11:21
  same tempo. That's right, because there's that show Netflix the movies that made
• 1:11:28
  us. Yeah, I think they talk about this like it was like overnight,
• 1:11:31
  kind of like it was real real quick to while for sure, but
• 1:11:38
  yeah, so you had to do the same and almost like the same hits
• 1:11:41
  and stuff, so it had to be Yeah, it's just so nuts they
• 1:11:45
  were able to get that done, and that the Ghostbusters theme song is so
• 1:11:50
  much bigger than Lewis Drug, like so much bigger. Oh my god,
• 1:11:56
  are you kidding me? Yeah? You know what that happened to then,
• 1:12:00
  like just because they well, the big one is, you know, You're
• 1:12:08
  the Best from Karate Kid was supposed to be Rocky three and then they pimoted
• 1:12:14
  to Ia the Tiger, and then You're the Best was going to be in
• 1:12:19
  something else, but what was it? They took something else famous and then
• 1:12:23
  it ended up in rock in Karate Kid like things like that happened all the
• 1:12:29
  time just because that's cool. Anyway, Let's go move on to Niggs moving
• 1:12:35
  home as La, where strong men also cry strong also the Crying Game.
• 1:12:46
  I don't think he cried. I don't think he cried in this movie.
• 1:12:49
  I think he's got I think he's got one or two. Okay, what
• 1:12:53
  do you think? I think? I guess we could just call it one.
• 1:13:00
  And I think when they break Dana and Rick moranis out of the things
• 1:13:04
  and save them, you had just a tiny bit of a tear it was.
• 1:13:10
  That was the closest I got. But it was none. Okay,
• 1:13:13
  it was none. This is a rare one, a rare zero. I'm
• 1:13:18
  all about it. It's impressive. I'm winning. I'm a heart of Stone.
• 1:13:24
  Have a heart of Stone. Movie trivia When Lewis mingles with his party
• 1:13:30
  guest commenting on the price of salmon and all that good stuff. That entire
• 1:13:33
  scene is one continuous shot and it's almost entirely improvised apparently, which is really
• 1:13:40
  fun so funny. I mean again, I think he literally came up with
• 1:13:44
  that whole character himself. He did a great job, because I believe let's
• 1:13:53
  see oh. In the middle of the film's initial release, to keep interest
• 1:13:57
  going, Ivan Rightman ran a trailer that was basically the commercial that the Ghostbusters
• 1:14:01
  used in the movie, but the five five to five number was replaced with
• 1:14:05
  an actual one eight hundred number allowing people to call in, and callers got
• 1:14:10
  a recorded message from Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd saying something like, hey,
• 1:14:15
  we can't into the phone. We're catching ghosts right now, And apparently they
• 1:14:17
  got one thousand calls per hour twenty four hours a day for several weeks.
• 1:14:24
  Wow, which is insane. That's amazing. Yeah, that was crazy.
• 1:14:31
  Yeah, it looks like Ray Parker Junior only had two days to create the
• 1:14:35
  song, and at four thirty am, after he had struggled, he saw
• 1:14:41
  a commercial for a drain company that reminded him of a scene from the film,
• 1:14:45
  and that commercial helped him coin the popular who are you Gonna Call?
• 1:14:49
  Who Are you Gonna Call? Which was like the big part, So that's
• 1:14:53
  pretty cool. I also saw that he was not into the name Ghostbusters,
• 1:14:57
  and so he did the whole thing, uh, and was like somebody else
• 1:15:01
  scream out Ghostbusters. So he had like he had like it was like his
• 1:15:05
  girlfriend or his daughter or something. Had all her friends come in and be
• 1:15:10
  like, oh yeah, well it worked. Uh. The Sigourney Weaver floating
• 1:15:17
  is an actual physical effect apparently, which is cool. She was put on
• 1:15:20
  a full body cast and attached to a post hidden in the curtains. And
• 1:15:27
  yeah, apparently this came from Ivan Wrightman's Broadway experience. That's why I wanted
• 1:15:31
  to bring that one up earlier, because that looks incredible. Yeah, it
• 1:15:34
  looks really good. Yeah. Well, yeah, it's an actual physical effect,
• 1:15:38
  which is I mean it had to be then there's no other way to
• 1:15:41
  do that. And she does a full turn and he goes under her.
• 1:15:45
  It's like a magic trick. Yeah, yeah, for sure, which is
• 1:15:48
  super cool. On the set, dan Ackroyd referred to the Slimer Ghost as
• 1:15:56
  the ghost of John Belushi, and his gluttonous eating was based done Belushi's cafeteria
• 1:16:00
  scene in National Lampoon's Animal House. So that was pretty cool. Well,
• 1:16:06
  and maybe am I I thought this? I thought they had like started writing
• 1:16:12
  this for the Belushi they did before he did, so, yeah, and
• 1:16:17
  then he actually die it must I thought he or eighty one or something.
• 1:16:24
  Okay, okay, so not long after Animal and then and then, like
• 1:16:29
  you had said earlier, I think Eddie Murphy they had wanted to going to
• 1:16:34
  be gotcha. Might they might even wanted him to be bank man maybe,
• 1:16:40
  but yeah, possibly because he had just become like a huge star. But
• 1:16:45
  right, anyway, let's see. Oh. In twenty ten, William Atherton
• 1:16:53
  recalled to The A. B Club that the shaving cream that was used for
• 1:16:57
  the melted marshmallow was still pretty heavy. We had the eighth grade. Oh
• 1:17:01
  this is his quote. We had the eighth grade science test. I went
• 1:17:04
  under the bag and I asked how much shaving cream is in there? And
• 1:17:09
  they said, oh, not that much. So I said how much is
• 1:17:11
  it weigh? And they said it's about seventy five pounds, But it's shaving
• 1:17:15
  cream, and you know the whole thing about seventy five pounds of feathers and
• 1:17:17
  seventy five pounds of lead, it's the same thing. So we figure out
• 1:17:21
  what's going to happen with this, and so the answer was they put a
• 1:17:26
  stunt guy underneath it to show the sissy actor that it was okay apparently,
• 1:17:30
  and they unleashed it and it flattened the stunt guy. So they took half
• 1:17:35
  the cream out, half the shaving cream out, and he then happily did
• 1:17:41
  what he had to do with out of the front. I mean, seventy
• 1:17:45
  five pounds is a lot to fall on you. Well, even the shot
• 1:17:47
  they have it, it looks like a ton of time. I know,
• 1:17:51
  I totally agree. Crazy. When I saw that shot, I was like,
• 1:17:55
  oh man, that's intense, but that was pretty well, oh yeah.
• 1:18:01
  And then the last one that I had was just the uh, the
• 1:18:04
  catalog drawers and the books flying and all that was actually a practical effect as
• 1:18:10
  well, which is pretty cool. It's unbelievable. And again that's why like
• 1:18:14
  every almost you know, everything except you know, the obvious are practical effects.
• 1:18:18
  That's why it's so great, like right, well, same with like
• 1:18:21
  Jurassic Park, right, that's why they look so good Still Park. You
• 1:18:26
  know that was the first time they actually did yeah, cgi as we know
• 1:18:30
  it, but another great but it still looks awesome movies that made us so
• 1:18:35
  good to watch, yes, right, you know, because they wanted to
• 1:18:40
  do claymation or whatever. Yeah, but yeah, that would have looked weird,
• 1:18:46
  so good. Uh, that was all the ones I wrote down.
• 1:18:50
  There was a lot, but there was a lot want to go too crazy?
• 1:18:54
  So yeah. The reason Eddie Murphy turned it down was because he got
• 1:18:57
  the role in Beverly Hills Cop right, which makes sense. It totally makes
• 1:19:01
  sense. This was the highest grossing comedy of all time until Home Alone a
• 1:19:08
  few years after. We're gonna say, Benny, uh oh, well,
• 1:19:14
  and I know Eddie Murphy got paid like a bunch of money for Beverly Hills
• 1:19:17
  Cop too. Yeah you gotta do that, which is the loan lead.
• 1:19:21
  But well, which Also, I will say like this movie, like a
• 1:19:26
  lot of adies movies, such a great example of I think that movie was
• 1:19:31
  originally for stallone and he wanted to do a bunch of stuff and blah blah
• 1:19:35
  blah and ended up with Eddie Murphy, and like, that movie's not funny.
• 1:19:40
  It's just funny because Annie Murphy's funny, you know. And they were
• 1:19:43
  just like, look, we're just gonna make a cool cop movie and you
• 1:19:46
  can just be funny. Yeah, and we don't need to try to do
• 1:19:49
  anything silly. Yeahah, And I would appreciate that's so good too. Yeah,
• 1:19:58
  we're gonna have a fourth one. Well, just watched all three of
• 1:20:01
  those again recently. Nice, so good. As far as other actors that
• 1:20:05
  were up, I saw that Michael Keaton turned down Venkman and Spangler. Wow
• 1:20:13
  wow, who knows if that's true. Ramis didn't just want to do it.
• 1:20:16
  I actually did see that Ramis was not originally going to do it,
• 1:20:21
  and then he felt that he was after like seeing people, and he thought
• 1:20:29
  that he was probably the best suited for it, which is interesting. He's
• 1:20:33
  so perfect for it because he doesn't try to do anything. He just committed
• 1:20:36
  to being a big Nerd. Yeah, he's supporting with it. It's just
• 1:20:44
  perfect. Yeah, Keaton would have been real funny. I think he would
• 1:20:46
  have tried to be hilarious, you know. I'm like, Keaton's more Venkman
• 1:20:50
  to me, I think, yeah, totally. And he turned down Vankman.
• 1:20:55
  It sounds like too for Egon. I did see Walking Lithgow, Christopher
• 1:21:01
  Lloyd, and Jeff Goldbloom were considered, but it does look like chevy Chase
• 1:21:08
  turned down the role of Lankman as well. He claimed that the script used
• 1:21:13
  in the movie wasn't the original script. In the original script script was very
• 1:21:15
  dark and scary, and it looks like Gutenberg turned it down as well.
• 1:21:24
  This is a before Bill Murray. I mean, I guess that's wild.
• 1:21:31
  I don't know. I mean I think Bill Murray was like, yeah,
• 1:21:35
  you know, he was just he was being Bill Murray, you know,
• 1:21:40
  and well, no, like you just wouldn't commit to anything. You never
• 1:21:43
  committed any until like the week before, and You're like, I'm pretty sure
• 1:21:47
  Bill is going to be here, but I'm not a hundred percent either.
• 1:21:50
  This is after Caddyshack, right for sure? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:21:56
  yeah. He had done Stripes before this. Too and meatballs and oh right,
• 1:22:00
  so him and Ramis said like obviously, yeah, mm hmm. But
• 1:22:06
  it's just it's just so interesting because it's so great. Their dynamic is so
• 1:22:12
  great, because it just feels like if you had too many personalities in there,
• 1:22:17
  it would just well, it would be like what we try to do
• 1:22:21
  now, yeah, right, everybody stepping on each other. And I just
• 1:22:27
  you know, I don't know, you know what I mean. I just
• 1:22:29
  think it's so nice that and Bill Murray is such a subtle improviser, Like
• 1:22:34
  we've already talked about that. I just think it's good. Yeah, if
• 1:22:41
  you if you had all three of them, people like that who just want
• 1:22:45
  to go in there and make big choices, I think it just gets a
• 1:22:48
  little muddy. And yeah, I don't know, you kind of lose for
• 1:22:54
  sure the story. Yeah, and and and I would like to say that
• 1:22:58
  like the script they wrote impressive, Like I don't like the mythology they come
• 1:23:04
  up with of of like the uh, well the yeah, the Shandor guy
• 1:23:13
  who designs the building with all this metal in it, that's a conductor.
• 1:23:15
  And then it's like a cult to gozer followers and all this, And I'm
• 1:23:19
  like I don't know if they base that on real stuff or if they just
• 1:23:23
  came up with that, but like that's impressive, Like that's good writing.
• 1:23:28
  Yeah, they really came up just the the like amping up of more ghosts
• 1:23:32
  being there, So that makes sense why they get Yeah, I don't know,
• 1:23:35
  I loved all that. Yeah, it's not just they didn't just do
• 1:23:38
  ran Like they really came up with a historical backs reason. Yeah, why
• 1:23:43
  why is this happening? It's not just random ghosts all of a sudden,
• 1:23:46
  So yeah, sure, I don't know. Yeah, it did sound like
• 1:23:50
  there were a lot of rewrites, Like originally it was a lot darker,
• 1:23:55
  and it was sure like Akroyd wanted to come out the gate with like the
• 1:24:00
  Ghostbusters car going through and them going to the first thing, and rightman felt
• 1:24:10
  like like no, we needed a kind of an origin story or like you
• 1:24:15
  know, suiting up, like we needed that. And so yeah, they
• 1:24:18
  actually got Ramis involved with the script. He did a lot of the the
• 1:24:23
  rewriting of that, and I think I think that's smart to split the difference.
• 1:24:27
  But and I already talked about it earlier, but imagine if that was
• 1:24:30
  the approach for the the reboot with Christian wigg and them. Right, let's
• 1:24:36
  really try and write a cool, creepy action movie here and then we'll worry
• 1:24:45
  about the comedy. I feel like that could have been so successful. And
• 1:24:50
  even the new ones after Life and this next one, I'm like, Frozen
• 1:24:58
  Empire is a new on you, even though I'm like, I don't know,
• 1:25:00
  I don't need the little dancing staypuff Men. It's fun and stuff,
• 1:25:04
  but I'm just like, I don't need it. Just make me a cool
• 1:25:09
  movie and let funny actors be funny. Yeah, that's what I want.
• 1:25:13
  That's why I love Ghostbusters because it feels like they're not trying to be funny.
• 1:25:18
  It feels like they're trying to make a cool movie. Sure, they
• 1:25:23
  just are funny. It just happens to be funny because I think good actors
• 1:25:29
  find ways to be funny or serious when it's necessary. Anyway, for sure,
• 1:25:35
  that that was all I had, though. Nice for trivia, there
• 1:25:40
  was a lot of trivia. Will there be a sequel? Judgment Day?
• 1:25:44
  So many We've talked about so many of them. A couple and beautis we'll
• 1:25:47
  see one this week. Yeah, So let's go. Are you going to

• 1:26:10
  there won't be any negative points, but you won't be able to guess again
• 1:26:14
  for that movie. If they're actors' names remaining, you can guess those for
• 1:26:17
  a point each. The other person can steal if you get any of those
• 1:26:20
  wrong. All of these films have something in common. When you know the
• 1:26:25
  theme, you can ring it at any time for a point, and it
