I think she's very Egonish in this movie. She speaks her mind whether she gets in trouble or not. She has Egon's temper.

​@@GhostbustersFan77 without the redeeming qualities

Yeah take the glasses and hair away and she’s just another modern cinematic girl character!

Good take. I see it now that you mention it.

Nah if they wanted a Stranger Things vibe they would've had the Boogeyman terrorize Egon's grand child. Anyone that remembers the cartoon knows that Samhain was a pussy. The masterpiece episode was Egon's history with the Boogeyman.

Melody called poor Podcast "a third wheel"? Writer/Director Gil Kenan really hates him.

Does Podcast really get her? All he cares about is the paranormal.

@@GhostbustersFan77but didn’t all she care about was paranormal stuff?

@@shadowpup3016 Not in the same way.

We didn’t even learn his real name! We did get a bit about his background though.

Honestly yeah, really should’ve just ended it at Afterlife, felt like a good conclusion to the series.

@@SleepyMookSeeing Egon go into heaven was such a great ending. I really don't know why Sony had to continue with more instead of letting the franchise rest

Don't forget 2016 just never happened it's a parallel universe of hell that took over and defeated the real Ghostbusters

The game is so underrated

The video game is the third, fourth, and fifth movie.

What, are you saying you're not excited for Ghostbusters: Podcast?! :D

Exactly

We don’t talk about that one, much less remember it.

Ghostbusters 2016 > Ghostbusters 2

Lesbian romance from a minor is damn close

​@@XDarkslayer223 at least white liberal feminists who become lesbians don't procreate. Their bloodline died off very quickly

Good times that game, good times

The cartoon was pretty solid. Then again I haven't rewatched it since the ecto cooler made it's first round of merchandising cash ins.

Yeah that's a conclusion i reached surprisingly after watching Leo, not every movie needs a sequel or be turned into a series, just enjoy the single story

Number 2 is underrated

Idk GB2 was pretty good tho

Exactly 🎯

sounds like a lot of cope, there were countless shit films even back then.

To be fair, now. In the 80s they sold adult movies to children. For an era that, in actual film buff circles, is referred to as "repressive" on film due to films becoming corporatized there is a surprising amount of movies that were specifically targeted at children that were not written or made for specifically children.

​@@Blanktester685there weren't as many crap shit films then as there are today tho it is all mostly crap now

Movies made for kids in the 80s were mostly animated. With a few G or PG rated live action ones. Those became especially popular in the early-mid 90s!

Right. The amount of bloat in the middle is a major drag. This could have been a 90 minute movie.

Yeah, they said this one was a dry fart compared to afterlife being a wet fart. Not exactly a great review.

At this point i dont even care about their childhood franchises review

I thought it was great. Then again I dont really take critics all that seriously 😂

​@@jamespaul6315why tf did your mum go through labour for your dmbass.

It literally serves to prolong the careers of these actors that no one cares about anymore. Nothing else.

It seemed like an episode of RGB, almost like Ghostbusters need to make a new tv series that connects the movies. Like this movie felt like the pilot episode for a Ghostbusters show.

But, they did treat it as a firefighter team dynamic? Just with a family.

ghostbusters 2

@@Blanktester685Ghostbusters 2 was deliberately dumbed down to appeal to fans of the cartoon.

​@@Dreadjawsyet was still miles better than the Nostalgia bait Afterlife

For real!!! They should have done that. have the containment unit break which causes them to go all over NYC catching them back

And we don’t even see ghosts wreaking havoc like in the original, just some lights in the sky.

I was hoping to see ALL the ghost designs from the previous movies. Instead it’s just Slimer. That was so lame.

​@@JustSomeCanadianGuyfor Nostalgia purposes that was but why does Slimer now have red eyes he never did before

Bustin Cider Fan? (HutchMF)

Doe...Ray.... Egon😂

The problem is that a bunch of people didn't like Ghostbusters 2. Personally I liked it, but it was definitely a step or two below the original. The issue is that Ramis/Aykroyd struck gold the first time and was never able to recapture it. The main problem these new films (and the franchise overall) have is that the story refuses to movie forward. I wish that Ghostbusters the video game was official and the franchise built from that. With the Ghostbusters franchising and going national.

Last time Harold Ramos was involved with the franchise was Ghostbusters The Video Game, and that game is still the closest to a true follow up to the first two movies. The 2016 reboot sucked and Afterlife and this go in a different direction.

@@ianbaird7449His "pleased with himself" face after doing that is what gets me.

So true.

Agreed. The future installments need to be scarier. Hit the modern kids with a dose of 80s PG-rated horror.

We do need a new monster if the week show since supernatural ended.

No.

Yes.

Yes.

yes.

@@siriuseir yes

100%

Fully agree

😂It's not that serious 😅

True but at the same time it gets really annoying after 4 plus years of the same bullshit. I actually stopped watching for a while cuz it got really really bad at one point to where it was obviously on purpose. Joe is for sure hot-headed asf lol. ​@@judgedredd7933

I'm LGBTQ+ and suicidal thought this shit was stupid

Agreed. It was so obviously forced in. Did not do the story any favors and just came across as pandering. Thoroughly disappointed by this one.

Agreed so fucking tired of that crappy LGBT propaganda

First time? That could be said of a lot of stuff these days. Disney Star Wars. Disney Marvel Disney Indiana Jones Disney live action remakes. Sony Ghostbusters Sony Spiderverse Thank god Back to the Future has remained untouched...as of yet.

Let’s not forget the robots - pls no more Transformers, Terminators, or Matrix movies

Spoken like someone who isn't a fan of the series. Waited over thirty years for new Ghostbusters movies and when we start getting them what happens? People like you saying they should stop making them.

@@GhostbustersFan77 so is waiting 30 years worth it for underwhelming mediocre films? Look at it another way. Indiana Jones had an ending with Last Crusade where they rode off into the sunset. Then 19 years later in 2008 they brought him back in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull as an older Indy. Now Crystal Skull is not a grear film and certainly was weaker than the films that came before. But I enjoyed it and felt we again got a final sendoff with Indy marrying Marion. Then because Disney are creatively bankrupt they decide to make a fifth film..scrapping what Spielberg had outlined. The result was an ill conceived legacy sequel that should have left well enough alone that arguably damaged the brand more than Crystal Skull ever did which at least felt like an adventure. Dial was an excercise in misery that got too hung up on the idea that getting old sucks. We get it. We saw Indy older in Crystal Skull. No one wants to see a hero washed up as a broken and divorced alcoholic. But this is a template for Disney now where rhey have to shit on a beloved legacy character to try and prop up an insufferable and unlikable girl boss. Does everything need a sequel? No. Back to the Future is a perfect trilogy as it is and no one with any sense wants a Back to the Future 4. Especially when it wouldn't have Michael J. Fox who is battling Parkinson's. And Chris Lloyd is too old.

It is dead. It has died. It died a long time ago. It died back in 2015-2016 when they announced that godawful abomination that came out.

People has done everything that could be done. Nothing can be fresh and original anymore and always will be someone to complain about. That counts for music, for games and for movies. When something works is like finding the needle in a haystack.

​@@Haegemonwrong. What we are getting is lazy recycled content

Something "working" is called putting in effort and thinking about the vision you're trying to create. It doesn't need to be rare. Companies are throwing everything against the wall and hoping SOMETHING sticks. Collapse in both industries would be a dream, as the only companies that rise from those ashes are the ones that actually give a shit. @@Haegemon

Especially the gaming industry is pathetic now a days, all the new games released is so bad optimized. ☹️

​@Haegemon nope there's an infinite amount of great art yet to be created, it's just easier to make mediocrity riding on nostalgia as is happening.

U want him to watch it soo much i bet u gona roll ur eyes when Alex starts his shit

Yeah, more Disney stuff.

Nah I like it when my opinion is challenged. Let Alex talk whatever he wants.

THIS !

@@fnggaming89 Alex will love Shogun. Alex has good taste.

Lol😂 awkward. Should've taken him to Dune part 2 instead. Im sure he watched the botched 80s version before.

Shame on you. Should have taken him to see Madame Web, at least you would have gotten some laughs out of how bad it was lol

@@handsomeDRAC I wanted to but he forgot what happened in Part 1 so he said let's go see Ghostbusters instead. I'm like the reviews are mixed, bad at worst. His response, "There's no way it's worse than the one with the ladies." Lol at least he was right about that. Seriously though I started falling asleep during the movie it was so boring.

I would actually disown you. Why tf would you go thinking there was one percent of enjoyment to be had, seriously, your uncle better not be returning your calls.

I rate Ghostbusters 1 & 2 about the same

GB2 is amazing! I’d watch it any day. FE unfortunately just didn’t hit right. Was hoping for so much more.

Ghostbusters 2 is bad because it's just the first movie again but less funny. The Ghostbusters have to start from nothing, nobody believes them at first, Dana accidentally ends up in a world ending supernatural plot that she has to be saved from, Peter and Dana build a romance, the Ghostbusters get incarcerated before the mayor releases them and gives them his full support, they save the day and everybody cheers. They had a chance to build on the first movie but they just told it again instead.

@@ThomasStClair-zr2lb I can’t totally disagree! Though I always felt that Dana being back was purposeful, as she worked in the museum. And the slime purposefully came up to be run over by her baby carriage, whether it was within or without Vigo’s control. And I guess I liked that Peter and Dana had to rekindle a romance, I guess it helps show character growth for him in a way? I think the jokes landed better, were more creative, Louis Tully is a great character (that Frozen Empire tried to recreate in 4 or 5 different characters), the hilarious ridiculousness of some of it, like the Statue of Liberty- that’s what made the movie work for me.

Why would i want to watch the same movie again when i can just watch GB1 again when i want? It feels like the same people who like GB2 would be the same people who like TFA because its just A New Hope.......AGAIN. Even though if I wanted to watch that movie i could already do so. I was ready to move on from GB1 and ANH. Apparently Hollywood wasnt/cant.

I remember seeing a trailer months ago but then immediately forgot about it.

Nope. I watched it Thursday

It came out of nowhere for me. Found out about it a couple days ago when the youtube reviews were coming out.

Yes the only one in the world

Yes.

Yeah they shouldve just kept gbtvg canon that was a good story

Because the game is 3 movies worth of plot. Ghostbusters 3, 4 and 5. Let's say Ghostbusters Return, Ghostbusters Go To Hell, and Ghostbusters Hell Freezes Over. Some ideas that were kicking around and Dan Ackroyd couldn't get made (some of which was because of Bill Murray). They don't want to refer to lore not everyone knows. It's easier to not canonize it, but real fans can. It doesn't really matter, If you know you know.

@@cornbredxyeah but they couldve included some elements here in frozen empire but the story was really hard to follow and not much action for almost entire movie. Things were just being thrown around and it wouldve been nice to include the ghostbusters actually capturing the librarian instead of just randomly appearing

Yeah, he's gotten much better at it. Progress.

Same both are on par with each other.

The reason it's bad is because it's just the first movie again. All the same plot points but less funny.

@@ThomasStClair-zr2lb Same reason why the Terminator franchise sucks.

Terminator rulz@@googlesucks2449

Same. I was born in 84, so I missed out on the firsy movie. I became a fan because of the animated series. Then I saw the 2nd movie. Loved it. Then I went back and watched the first one. This movie has the dark side of the 2nd movie, but also felt like the animated series (which is what they went for). The best thing for me was looking over at my 10 yr old daughter, and her loving it. 'Passing the GB Fan torch.

Yeah, that's because talentless and mediocre writers are in charge of our favourite franchise and running them into the ground

@@joju5849absolutely this. Talentless writers that are more concerned with shoving political agendas down our throats than creating a great, engaging story. I’m sick & tired of these lazy half assed modern films. Just want to go back to the cinema & be entertained again, is it to much to ask??!!

Extreme Ghostbusters got so dark the studios wanted them to lighten up and the writer said no. One reason there is no season 2. Which I am glad they did not let the studio soften the stories like they wanted.

Gb2016, afterlife and frozen empire all have a 6 of 10 for me. Gb2016 is not bad, it is definitely more fresh as the soft reboots, but all movies fail on other aspects. Frozen empire is the weakest, as its basically kill the franchise, as no one wants more of that

@@MrInvinciblewarrior For me, GB 2016 is the weakest. The jokes completely fall flat and the conversations went off into rambling tangents. The villain in GhostBusters: Frozen Empire, Garraka the demon lord has more of motive than the villain in GB2016. So what is Rowan's motive? Rowan was an incel stalker paranormal scientist who was ridiculed so much that he caused ghost terrorism and killed himself to become a powerful ghost, really? So, Rowan is the equivalent of the Just Stop Oil protestor. Garraka actually killed people with his powers. Rowan killed himself, froze the police department, and turned himself into the Ghostbusters logo and tried to kidnap a woman. The SNL cast played unlikable characters and Chris Helmsworth acted his worst character role. Ghostbusters 2016 was for me a 2/10 and Frozen Empire was a 4/10.

Yes, it feels like they stole an old real ghostbusters script and made sure all their targets are hit

Or joe could quit interrupting everyone, that probably would help

​@@vincentrock5601He's better with not interrupting so much. It should be him talking more since it's his show. Just need to switch the camera based on who's talking, makes for a better show

@@vincentrock5601 its his show if he wants to do the most talking thats his choice, if they dont like it they can do their own yt channel.

Then maybe ALEX should SPEAK UP AND TALK MORE

@@KorraPokeReactions He used to, but got squashed back by Joe. Watch the earlier vids with Alex, it's kinda funny to watch the progression to this. The current format is: Joe goes first (the others may interject a little), then OJ, then Alex last. Which is totally fine. Just cut the camera because his dreary appearance is depressing lol

That's the wrong way to look at it in my opinion. Make a good Ghostbusters movie. 'Ghostbusters: Afterlife' wasn't bad and in the third act it was even very good.

How would you know? I doubt you knew him personally.

@@GhostbustersFan77 nice name

I don’t know, Harold loved everything Ghostbusters. It’s a shame really because they did have a heap of potential post afterlife. The plot was sloppy. Some scenes needed to be cut completely and other scenes needed to be extended and explained more. The nostalgia stuff was a bit much (I enjoyed it don’t get me wrong) but it’s a shame that they felt they had to lean into that stuff again. For example (SPOILERS BEYOND HERE) :- Peck didn’t need to be in this movie at all. I was happy to see him but he didn’t need to be here at all. The librarian ghost (Elenor Twitty) was awesome to see back but they still haven’t trapped her and this confirms for certain the video game isn’t canon. Garraka felt like he did absolutely nothing and really should have been in the movie much longer than he was. His intro set him up to be really intimidating and then he did pretty much nothing.

His turning in his grave 😊

Ramis would have hated the fact that they put him in it as a ghost and got all sentimental. His comedy was alway super cynical and he would have hated it. You don’t need to know him to know that

I expected a good movie, not such garbage.

Ok you ended that nicely but yeah.. I mean. If we can't have our nostalgia to be a new reality.. then yeah. Hollywood ruins a lot of shit

Relax

2nd is almost as good as the first. The haunted subway was scary, the river of slime was unsettling and blob in the bathtub was freaky. The movie had an unnerving atmosphere, the new kid friendly gb movies will never have this.

Perfect Assessment.

You got brainwashed and conditioned at 49 man I feel bad for you most old adults don't let today's society affect em

@@XxWolfxWaRioRxXNah. It’s just I am not as picky like soo many other people are nowadays. For me this new Ghostbusters movie made me feel like a kid again, and it was really enjoyable to watch. So imo it was a really good Ghostbusters movie.

You'd be shocked by 6 year olds in public schools these days. They talk about sex, "adult films", use profanity, use vulgar sex slang, etc. What's for kids these days is not at all what was for kids in the 90s and earlier.

@@EvilGoodGuy What are you talking about?? :/ Kids shows in the 90s were handled by professional writers and hollywood producers who wanted to make a show that a child could enjoy but an adult could also get something out of with all of the innuendos/jokes and sometimes very real adult consequences depending on the show out there. Sometimes even the shows meant to sell toys (Beast Wars) would have some first class writing and episodes. When people talk about "Kids Cartoons", usually they mean "80s cartoons". The ones usually made to be dumb on purpose just to sell action figures and ones where the plot means nothing and goes nowhere but "bad guy got his butt kicked" and then they would have a "sick burn" thrown their way "because funny".

They played the theme all through the movie. It had all the classic music...so...nah

I just chalk up the missing theme song to not wanting another visit from Huey Lewis’ lawyers.

@@ShayneRawlshe’s talking about cruel summer.

And that’s good! No one should be able to decide for you what entertains you

You were alive in the 80s and don’t know how to spell “been”? No wonder you liked the movie

Same and most fans are. The critics are just not fans of nostalgia anymore. They dont want you to enjoy what you love anymore.

Racist much? What if english wasn't their first language?@@nicholastaiariol2631

​​@@JediTimelord19nah bro we just don't like the hack 20 year old writer who made the plot. Had nothing to do with your nostalgia

if it bothered alex so much surely he could just do his own channel.

Oh God the movie theater anymore is HELL people don't have respect like they used to, the prices suck ass, and I swear the popcorn tasted better back in the day

@@rtvtictaczac727 last time I was at the theater all the teens had their phone out and were talking with each other and some dude to the right was repeating the line sand laughing like Joe said in this video. It's so annoying

@@KonaSuba yeah that's about average anymore, I had through the spider verse pretty much ruined for me by someone behind me who's seen it way to many times

I agree we had fun with this movie but it didn't have that same feel of a Ghostbusters movie. What was there was fun and interesting aside from the ghost girl. She dragged the story a bit. If they took that time to give us more team ghostbusting than it be great

I think we can all agree the movie had too much things going on, lots of subplots and they should have let it breath a little bit. Doesn't mean it's terrible. The thing is that we all wish we had a Ghostbusters movie like the OG, when in reality it was lightning in a bottle between Ramis, Reitman and Aykroyd's story and Bill Murray's performance. No Ghostbusters movie will ever come close to that, especially without Ramis and Reitman around. Even GB 2 couldn't do it with the OG cast and crew, because they didn't want to do it in the first place and let's be honest, it was a studio cash grab to capitalize on the success of the Real Ghostbusters cartoon (they even shoehorned Slimer after the fact and made him look more like his cartoon counterpart). After all, this was not originally conceived as a franchise.

6 sounds too high

is it really that good? i have it but didnt started yet

Yeah, I've wanted to hear their thoughts on that show as well.

I thought for sure we would get coverage on Shogun & Masters of the Air. Literally 2 best shows this year so far but hating a bad show like Halo is easier I assume. 😢

It's worth your time but you have to be in the mindset for watching it since half of the show is subtitles and there is a lot of lore

Are you talking about Shogun, the show that isn't even completed yet? Is that the one they should review? You want them to review a tv-show that isn't fully released yet?

Generous rating. We need to hold Hollywood to higher standards, especially trying to work off all time classics. They are just gonna keep getting away with this crap

@@SolidPain6624 Eh, you may be right. Still had fun watching it, nothing really took that away from me.

Agreed. When Dave Coulier replaces Lorenzo Music, RGB goes downhill. Still some great episodes, but Slimer takes over the show!🙄

You can blame Q5 (ABC’s corporate standards & practices group) for that.

he couldn't get out of the orb, but he could affect things outside the orb. also, Melody says the exact opposite! literally, the whole reason she tricked Pheobe into becoming a ghost was so Garraka could control a ghost who was still tethered to their body! Watch the fricking movie!

I feel like that’s how we ended up with the quality (or lack ) of entertainment now, because people “turned their brains off.”

Everytime someone jiggles their keys you should be hypnotized...

No. Don't settle. I refuse to turn off my brain to be entertained.

I blame Marvel and Starwars

Depends on the movie, if it’s something like Godzilla vs Kong or Fast And Furious I turn it off if I feel the film is going for serious or realistic I judge it that way and it keeps me happy

The “Ghostbusters” film was released on June 8, 1984. The PG-13 rating did not exist yet, but was introduced later on July 1, 1984. The first PG-13 film was “Red Dawn”, released August 10, 1984.

Facts let the franchise die and move on

Nah considering 2 is the best one lol.

Ratatouille, Walter Mitty, and The Fan were all awesome. WTH you talking about

​@@aaadesktopThere's a reason why nobody talks about any of those movies.
