Description: Before 1984, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, and Harold Ramis were known to those who watched Saturday Night Live, rude comedies, or both. But when the little comedy called Ghostbusters, about a ghost containment system and the doofuses who run it, came out, everyone knew who they -oh, and Ernie Hudson- were. The film became a phenomenon. It helped launch the careers of all involved, inspired future ghost hunters, and even took the term 'gatekeeping' to whole new levels when in 2016 fans of the original were threatened by a bunch of females taking over their turf. So why were there only three -four- films made, and is the first film really the only good thing it inspired? Join myself, Matt, and the returning Logan James to help answer the call of just how good a franchise Ghostbusters is. A movie that both the public and critics like is tough to make. A movie that is a phenomenon is almost impossible. But a sequel to a comedic movie that became a lexicon of pop culture? Well, that was the task given by an anxious studio looking to cash in to writers Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd, as well as the cast and of course director Ivan Reitman. As rare as a successful film is, a successful sequel is even tougher. And most say Ghostbusters 2...isn't exactly great. So how do we feel? Listen below as Logan, Matt (who's watching this movie for the second time), and myself dissect the sequel that almost wasn't, and most wish never was. And be sure to join us when we review the upcoming sequel Ghostbusters Afterlife. Ghostbusters 2 (1989) (?/10, ?/10, ?/10) CLICK ABOVE TO LISTEN NOW! Subscribe to Binge Cast on iTunes
