Ghostbusters | KnockBack: The Retro and Nostalgia Podcast Episode 193

While it's true that we ain't afraid of no ghosts, it's also true that we're not very fond of them, either. They are, after all, undead apparitions that seem to play by their own set of rules, and, well, it's time that they were busted. Thus, we queued up 1984's classic comedy Ghostbusters to draw some inspiration. With lots of brilliant minds involved -- Ivan Reitman, Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd, and others -- you'd think Ghostbusters would be a runaway hit. And for many audiences, it certainly was. But the Brothers Moriarty have a slightly different take: Primarily that Ghostbusters has all of the makings of something truly great, but doesn't fully take advantage of any of its components. Please don't try to trap us with your proton pack before you listen, though, for you may just find that you agree.

Far out… surprising takes from Colin… Anything John Hughes did is better? sixteen candles? Helllllll no. I agree it’s sort of overrated but 80s rom coms are a dime a dozen, this was its own thing, that’s why it’s iconic. I’m with ya Dagan!

Hi, you guys wondered how it became so iconic...maybe it was just the right time ? I agree it has some flaws, shoutout to a very underrated gem of a ghost movie: The Frighteners !
