Thank you so much to everyone for watching my reaction? It means a lot! I hope you enjoyed it and please check out some of my other reaction videos.

Another great film starring Bill Murray is Groundhog Day, written and directed by Harold Ramis who played Egon and with a cameo by Dan Aykroyd

"She's got a balcony now" 😂😂 I absolutely love your reactions

Annie Potts, who plays Janine the Ghostbusters' secretary, also plays Sheldon's grandma in Young Sheldon. She's hilarious.

"Ice" box is pre electricity. Because we had a box which had ice in it, and we put out food in there to keep them cold. Basically what a cooler is today that we use for camping.

Yes, Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray were on SNL together, although Murray was not on for very long. Slimer, the green ghost, was an homage to their castmate John Belushi, who had just died when they made this.

I used to call it a hearse too (and it would kind of make sense since they're technically dealing with the dead), but it turns out Ecto-1 was actually an old fashioned ambulance. That's why it had sirens and lights even before the Ghostbusters fixed it up. That said, I definitely have seen hearse conversions of the same model! Very iconic car.

"Stairs was behind her refrigerator" You have such a good eye for details. I noticed this with your John Wick reaction as well, noticing the lack of underbelly parts when they busted a car. "Whats his name is still out there" That was Slimer. Ghostbusters was such a hit, it spawned a TV animation series, and includes Slimer as their pet ghost. Watch the next one and the latest, "Ghostbuster Afterlife!"

The thing Egon uses to read for ghosts is called a P.K.E. Meter. Psycho-Kinetic Energy meter. It reads for ghostly energy capable of interacting with physical objects.

All the actors in this movie were well known at the time and formed an ensemble that had amazing energy together that’s hard to reproduce. Harold Ramis spent much more of his career writing and directing then acting which is why he is not as familiar as the others to most people.

Ice boxes predated refrigerators. They're exactly what they sound like. There were compartments for food and a compartment usually on the bottom and you would put a big block of ice inside.

In the scene where Dana comes home and puts the groceries on the counter (just before the eggs start to cook); if you look on the counter you will see a bag of Stay Puffed Marshmallows that she just bought. That was some good foreshadowing. 😉

oh holy shit, in all the times i've seen this movie, I never pieced together that the stairway was behind the fridge.... how did I NEVER notice that?

I have to say it’s so much fun watching these movies with you! Your laughter is contagious! 😂

I just watched Ghostbusters:Afterlife (2021). Wow, wow, wow. I had tears, sad tears and plenty of reminiscing. You have to watch it. It is unbelievable. I'm not done watching it over and over again.

The fact you don't know any actors actresses in this movie makes me feel ancient.

I grew up watching this movie and didn't catch a third of the jokes. But it's really fun watching as an adult and realizing it's a comedy, not a drama, lol. Definitely a classic!

Great classic 80’s movie. Glad you enjoyed it. The whole lines about “when someone asks if you’re a god…” was a meme before memes were a thing 😂

Ice box is term from the old days when you actually put ice in a box to keep your food cold. Old people still use it, like me, cuz grandma always did. Annie Potts is the secretary, from an old show, Designing Women. Egon was Harold Ramis. He has written & directed many movies & you will see his name as you continue on your movie journey, like Caddyshack, Vacation, Animal House, Groundhog Day & more plus acting in more also. Enjoyed our reaction.

"14:59 "Does she have a balcony? I thought she had a balcony She doesn't have a balcony." Boom! "She has a balcony now." 😂

The housekeeper’s “what the hell are you doing!” Was a genuine reaction, the effects crew put more pyrotechnics on the cart than the actress realized, her shock and fear was completely genuine… Also, if you like this movie (you should) check out the Ghostbusters game in Xbox/PS4/Switch, you play as an unnamed “Rookie” ‘buster and work with the original crew, the game script was actually written by Ramis and Ackroyd, and it stars most of the original voice cast (only missing Sigourney Weaver and Rick Moranis) and is the last time Harold Ramis played Egon before his passing…

I dont think Stay Puft marshmallows is a real brand, but the scene where the eggs started cooking on the counter, look at the back of marshmallows next to them. Great videos, love your reactions.

I saw this movie in the theater when I was nine. It scared the crap out of me. I couldn't sleep at all that night. A year later it came back around to theaters and I saw it again and totally enjoyed it, wasn't scared at all. It was kind of like a rite of passage. Now this movie is in my top ten favorite movies of all time.

“None of them look familiar”. Ouch! That one hurt. Icons, all. Let’s do this.

If you like movies with former early SNL stars, you GOTTA see "The Blues Brothers". It's probably my favourite movie of all time. It's funny as hell, and it set the Guinness Book world record for most cars destroyed in a single movie :)

"That's why we converted to computers" XD. I know right. I always hated it when ghosts ruined the card catalog overnight XD.

I never "got" this movie when I was a kid. But watched it again as an adult and it's become one of my favorite comedies. Too many things went over my head lol.

Hi big love from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 another Classic movie 🎥 from my childhood. Great actors/actresses in this picture. Original is the best. 😎🎬🎥👍🏻

Oh wow, you don't know Sigourney Weaver?! 😱 Then it's definitely about time, for you to watch the sci-fi horror Alien (1979)! 🥰 This classic masterpiece is perfect for this month! 👌🏼✌🏼

I don't know if you saw it, but the Brady Bunch had a christmas special in the 1980s. The blonde girl that Venkman was flirting with at the beginning played Cindy Brady, because the original actress couldn't do the part.

You have just witnessed my all time favorite movie!

Just remember the line "If there's a steady paycheck in it, I will believe anything you say" is a pre-Covid line. 😂

Sigourney Weaver is pretty tall 6 foot in real life

Definitely a classic! Even my 6 year old twins know the theme song already. 🤣

I love Bill Murrays sarcasm. My favorite would probably be this one.

Don't worry, I find weird stuff when I open my fridge too. One time I opened my fridge to find Willem Dafoe living in it.

Bill Murray said he believed that Slimer was actually the ghost of John Belushi, who might have had a role in this movie. Are you gonna watch 2 or Afterlife? Skip 2016, it's now non-canon. P.S. You should play Ghostbusters The Video Game sometime! It's basically Ghostbusters 3 and all the original Ghostbusters are back in it.

The EPA guy is in Die Hard 1 & 2 (the reporter who gets punched in Diehard 1)

The shoes hanging on the door is for the show shine service. At a hotel you can leave your shoes at the door to get shined.

I don't know whether they do it anymore but hotels used to offer for a little extra to clean and polish a guests shoes, hanging them on a door was a sign that you'd like your shoes cleaned.

The guy's reaction when Peter said, "It'll bite your head off man." is hilarious.

Yes, Bill Murray and Dan Ackroyd were on SNL together

The secretary is the woman who plays Meemaw - Connie - on Young Sheldon. Her name is Annie Potts.

Dan Aykroyd in in Trading Places (1983) followed by Coming to America (1988) which has scenes that reference Trading Places are both great comedies

10:34 It's called "jääkaappi" here in Finland, which literally means "ice cupboard".

So the thought that crossed my mind as I watched this is what an awesome dad you must be.. ..you are very open to whatever movie you are watching ... I wonder if you are positive about all the movies or if our taste in movies are similar and I have not watched your reactions to movies I hate.... hmm...

just visited this library in april. was fun to go to nyc as seek out all the filming locations for all the movies that are shot there. You could do a streaming trip there.

I'd say the marshmallow man was a cross between the Pillsbury dough boy and the Michelin man.

I'm originally from south central iowa.was born in newton. I toured the capital once on a field trip from school.but I had forgotten the library til u mentioned it!so cool

What four day had powered refrigerators that could take a liquid and turn it into a gas to keep the unit cool. Everybody would’ve had an icebox. A nice box has insulated walls with a compartment and tray at the top of it to put a large piece of ice. The cold air circulates down and around storage compartments in the lower sections to keep your produce fresh. It basically was the early version of the modern day refrigerator. Before the icebox people would’ve used cold water from a running river or stream a well or a root seller to store their produce.

I always loved Bill Murray's character as a kid. He seemed like a goofy character that I could get behind. As an adult, I enjoy this movie because I actually understand what they were saying and what the themes of the film are. It really puts it into a whole new light. I actually love Murray's performance so much more in this film because I now understand what he was really doing and saying.

Look up Biblioteca Joanina (Joanina Library or Barroque Library). Located in Coimbra, Portugal. It's something out of a dream :)

I believe in some hotels if you leave your shoes out a person will shine them for you.

Another great campy 80's ghost movie is "High Spirits"

It’s Ecto-1, as in Ectoplasm, which is a phenomenon that existed before this movie.

Egon wrote the movie with Dan Akroyd. Harold Ramis wrote Stripes and many other great 80s comedies

when i saw this in the theater my friend who i was with wet himself a little at the “get her” jump scare scene

The "gatekeeper" woman is Sigourney Weaver, the protagonist of the "Alien" movie series, and "Gorillas in the Mist" to name a few.

I don't know if this has been answered yet but putting the shoes on the door meant that they wanted them to be shined in the morning.

The shoes on the door would be shined for you overnight and left at your door in the morning.

Slither, its a horror comedy, directed by James Gunn, who directed, Guardians of the galaxy and suicide squad, and starring Nathan Fillion, from Firefly and suicide squad and micheal Rooker from the walking dead!

WHen you think about it, the EPA guy is really not the villain, He's absolutely right!

The ghostbusters song is so good!

The psychic test....the male participant got everyone of them correct, but was one card behind. The last card he was exactly right....a couple of wavy lines

Stay Puft Marshmallows are and were a variant of the Campfire marshmallow brand, but hey had no official mascot until this movie. The iirony is that thie destroying of their new and first mascot was their first feature film advertising plug.

Ice Box is more of an old school term, it harkens back to when you basically had a cabinet, in some cases maybe a small closet type room, or a large chest or box of some type, and you would keep your food cold in it using a large chunk of ice. My Dad was old enough to remember as a young child, they lived out in a rather rural town and they still had an ice box, and you could have ice brought to the house, just like the milk man and a few other things back in those days still. Though there were of course more of what we would consider refrigerators in more urban settings already.

I'm more disappointed he didn't know Sigourney Weaver than any other actor. ALIENS is on my list of Top 10 movies of all time, with ALIEN the original not far behind!

Stay Puft is a real brand, more common in the South!

I grew up on my recorded tv edit of this guy. Odd cuts for language and content didn't slow me down.

Ghostbusters II gets a lot of criticism and labeled "not good" when really its main problem is that it's not as good as the original. It's a sequel that is inferior to the original, but if you go in accepting that, you come out feeling it was a good movie worth watching. It's just not a great movie and definitely not a classic.

The 'little guy' is Rick Moranis. He's hilarious. Check him out in Little Shop of Horrors and Honey, I Shrunk The Kids.

Love the reaction again. Some more great light hearted movies to watch around this time is the goonies and the gremlins 1&2

I really like the ghostbusters from 1984, bill murray is just a great actor, liked the other video groundhog day just as much as this one 👻

This theme is on par with Beverly Hills Cop for the best theme ever.

I love the Ghostbusters theme!

4:27 you are really good in say the lines before the characters in the movies is so crazy!! lol, by the way i hope you can watch the last one,ghostbusters afterlife 2021,is a perfect tribute for this one,made by the son of the same director in this movie

I enjoyed your review. My mother lived in Victorville when she was young and they had an icebox. An iceman delivered ice and that was their refrigerator in those days.

8:20. I guess you're not a snooker, James. When I smoked, I did that all the time. It's actually very easy to do. You just moisten the butt of the cigarette and gang it off a dry part of the bottom lip. In thus movie they might have used honey or something, but you can hang cigarettes off your lip, easy peasy.

If you liked Bill Murray, you should really watch Groundhog Day (And it would be a great time, if you see my comment on time, it's actually Groundhog day in 2 days)

What's Zuul doing in my ice box? There's no Dana, only Zuul.

ghost busters was my jam in the day I loved it sooooooooooooooo much

1:50 why is it that Winston is always absent from most of the promotional material? 14:57 as of the year 2000, don't know if it's true anymore but she was in the Guinness book of world records as the world's tallest celebrity. The shortest was Danny Devito at the time, but now that honor probably goes to Peter Dinklage.

Rick Moranis is well known for the movies Honey i Shrunk the Kids, a family comedy, he is also in Spaceballs but see this one after Star Wars episodes 4,5 & 6 as it is a Star Wars spoof, i would see Star Wars episodes 4,5 & 6 (A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back & Return of the Jedi) before 1,2 & 3 as that is the order they were released

Another good horror comedy I know you'd love is The Frighteners with Michael J Fox!

The Ghostbuster films are more comedy than horror. The second was good, but the new one that came out was fantastic.

How do you not know bill Murray wow!!!!!!!!?!!!

The Green mile, Forest Gump. V for Vendetta and Leon the Professional, ( the directors cut )

LMAO! James.... I'm cracking up here! (referring to the beginning of the video) Fun fact(well, not really): I saw this movie in theaters.... I remember before this movie came out.... that "ghost with the red circle/slash mark" through it, was blasted ALL over the place, with absolutely no explanation on what it meant. The public interpretation was "No/Don't Ghost"... because the red circle with a slash through it meant "no"/"Don't"/etc.... You know? We associated it with normal traffic signs. Hey, we had no internet back then..... cut me some slack. 😉 Anyhow.... for months leading up to it's release, there was a massive advertising campaign.... but absolutely NO explanation on what the movie was about. Hell, we weren't even given the TITLE on the movie..... just that red circle with the ghost behind a slash mark. Of course.... once we found out what the movie was about.... it all made sense. OH! Something I want to mention, before I forget it....... the man who portrayed Walter Peck from the EPA...... VERY good actor! Always plays an "asshole" of some sort.... William Atherton is his name. I have to recommend a couple of movies he was in, because he is technically "type cast".... but plays the roles VERY well! "Real Genius" and "Biodome" come to mind instantly. In each of those movies(The former has Val Kilmer in a leading role, and the latter has Pauli Short in a leading role) are WELL worth a viewing.... plus, I've never seen anyone react to either movie(so, that's a plus for your channel). FWIW.... I absolutely LOVE seeing him in the "Supporting Actor" role, as "that asshole". He does it SO very well! Also, how he can play "straight man" to the jokes he sets up.... just incredible! I have nothing but respect for him! 4:10 - Bill Murray(the guy running that telekinesis experiment), has played in MANY comedic roles. I would fill the buffer of this post naming them all.... but Caddyshack and Groundhog Day instantly come to mind. Harold Ramis(the other guy in the scene) wrote/produced(and in some cases, directed) some very classic comedies. Both are alumni of Saturday Night Live during it's initial seasons. 4:12 - BINGO!!! (I paused to comment right before you said that) 5:09 - Fun fact: That prop was re-used during the filming of "They Live".... starring Roddy Piper(professional wrestler), Keith David, and more than a few other famous people. In any case, I highly recommend that movie as well. 5:28 - Okay.... you(and a LOT of reactors say "graphics"..... but just know, the correct words are "Special Effects")... I don't mean to "nit-pick".... but at the time, "graphix(spelled graphics)" were computer generated.... and if you want a true definition of "CGI" of that time period, you should look up Tron and The Last Starfighter. CGI(Computer Generated Graphics) were well over a decade away, at least as far as realism was concerned. ALL of the Special Effects were done by "practical" means. There were either puppets, "stop motion", models, etc, all done "in camera". (likely, more to come) 10:16 - Yeah, basically. Sometime in the late 70s(1978, I think... but can't swear to it). While I don't remember the exact date, I *DO* remember when Elvis albums(you know, those large black disks that you put on a "record player") went "on sale" at W.T. Grant's(my aunt worked there at the time).... and people went ape-shit at the time, buying up all those records. I ended up with a few, to be honest about it. I think they were like $3-$4 at the time..... 15:56 - That "race" that you spoke of.... that happens all over the country. I will admit that I never really paid attention to the winners, but damn, that takes some stamina to do, let alone WIN!

3:04 I looked up the library and holy shit, it's like something out of Harry Potter or Wizard 101

Egon wrote the movie. He also wrote Stripes and other great comedies of the era.

Total classic

20:52 Nah, Stay Puft wasn't a real brand. The marshmallow man was just mashup of the Michelin Man and the Pillsbury Doughboy

I hope we get to see the second one since Halloween is around the corner! Side note you dropping the f bomb made me giggle harder than it should have lol.

The last thing I need is getting hooked on another reactor. Two videos in, I'm subscribed and along for the ride. You're fun to watch, and hey, I have family in the Des Moines area too 😃

Still my al time favourite movie.

I have a question for everyone here: I have organized a horror/comedy section in my collection of horror; titles like Scary movie, Stan Helsing, Tucker and Dale vs evil. Should I include Ghostbusters, or just leave it under regular comedy?

Quite an entertaining film Thanks for the chance

This movie still holds up and is far better than the terrible remake

I give it a 10/10 Spoopies

a couple good movies with the little guy, Rick Moranis, are Honey I Shrunk The Kids and Little Giants
