The new Ghostbusters didn't ruin my childhood. Fucking polio did.

when a director describes the movie hes making as "an existing property we can make our own". You can feel the love and passion he has for the thing hes working on.

Never watched this movie, but here I go watching the RLM review for a 4th time.

I thought Dan Akroyd just slapped his name on a vodka in a fancy bottle but I recently learned that he actually put a lot of work into it and it's won a bunch of awards. Good for him.

Sony's worst sin is dedicating this abdomination to Harold Ramis. He deserved better.

I don't think I can still watch RLM with the new chairs, it's just not the same anymore.

"JJ Abrams didn't have a vision of star wars that was terrible" well that aged well lol

That Crystal Vodka undid the immortality potion on Larry King and left him with his last 5 years of life

That clip of dan akroyd almost killing Larry king was funnier than the whole movie

In Summary: Paul Feig- a passionate feminist and spiteful little man who's spent the past several months burning every possible bridge he could find between audiences and the movie- gets handed the Ghostbusters reboot. In this movie a failed academic, an obese woman, a lesbian, and a black woman wage war against an intangible evil society tells them doesn't exist. In the end, they defeat the villain- a virgin nerd who wants to destroy them because people beat him up in high school- by castrating him after he literally transforms into the Ghostbusters logo. You can't make this shit up. I'm so amazed somebody didn't stop this from happening.

watching mike get zonked and talk about how pringles are the most feminine chip never fails to make my day

I appreciate the power move Mike does by swigging out of the bottle, thereby claiming it as his alone.

The nuclear drama war of people arguing over the internet about this movie was ironically more entertaining than the movie itself.

Why does the director take pride in not having scripted dialogue? It's like your child bragging to his parents that he's gonna wing the science exam tomorrow.

"Star Wars got it right. If you want to milk these franchises that's how you do it." *Profound sadness*

2016: "JJ Abrams didn't have a vision of Star Wars that was f****** terrible" 2020: Sad Pikachu

slimer is the key to all this

the drink should be called BOOze

Props to Rich Evans for taking a shot and not relapsing back into drinking. Every man wished he was as strong willed as him

Rich: “Die Hard” [briefly insert picture of David Carradine] 100x Funnier than anything in Ghostbusters(2016)

The original Ghostbusters movie was a blue collar film with blue collar dialogue and values. Isolated college professors are forced out of the educational system to find real work. They are litterally forced to become exterminators/dog catchers. Half the film is them getting comfortable in labor jobs. Dealing with customers, lugging heavy equipment around, using tools... That's also sorely missing from the new reboot.

the ecto vodka should've been called the Crossed Streams

It is now 2020 and nobody cares about the Ghostbusters remakes, despite the controversy. That's a good thing for humanity.

39:37 - I love that "oh no" and the smiles between Rich and Jay. It's like "yep, it's happening. Mike is getting shit faced".

Oh thank fucking god I thought for a second Mike was gonna pull a Jurassic World on us

"Your communist government thinks the movie is witchcraft" will never fail to make me lose my shit

This is still the most rewatchable episode, so many years later.

Mike was slowly turning into Mr Plinkett the more he drank

"By its very nature 90% of all improvisation is garbage. Sometimes it works, sometimes it just makes a mess. Sometimes it does both." John Rhys-Davies, in the LotR DVDs.

Here's to Larry King boys. May he rest in peace

Papa John got fired because he called a ghost the n-word.

Feig looks like someone doing a comedy impression of a gay director.

"Die hard" (picture of David Carradine) wakka wakka.

“Die Hard” David Carradine pops up.

"Star Wars got it right" Oh dear, that didn't age well.

Didn't some e-mail leak show that Sony almost blackmailed the old actors to appear in the movie?

I'm not joking, I sincerely think the Papa John's commercial was better than the actual movie

Just rewatched after seeing Afterlife. Whoever edited this deserves a trophy for the Die Hard joke at 31:53. Holy shit.

Looking back, I think this movie is the perfect analogy of what the entertainment industry as a whole has devolved into. Companies can absolve themselves of any criticism by putting in gay/female/poc themes/characters/anything and using them as a shield by calling their consumers bigots if they don't submit

The reason why Bill Murray was in this movie was because he was forced to do it. Paul Feig threatened to take "legal action" against Murray because he refused to be a part of it multiple times. In case you didn't like Paul Feig enough.

I can't believe it's almost 3 years since new chairs

Everytime they show a scene from 1984 Ghostbusters, all I want to do is go back and watch it. So amazing that film.

Mike Stoklasa critiquing Ghost Busters (2016) while drinking vodka out of a crystal skull is a classic moment in RLM

"the point is... we can have the female equivalent of an Adam Sandler movie." oh god it all makes sense now.

"The female equivalent to an Adam Sandler movie" was so spot on. Imagine if a studio redid a classic like Groundhog day with Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider then cried foul when the fans became upset. Basically Ghostbusters 2016.

Had to come back here after hearing about Larry kings passing and watch almost die drinking crystal head vodka. R.I.P. king.

10:50 dunno why, but Jay's voice quiver when he says "movie" is hilarious to me.

2 years later, the original movie is being relentlessly promoted by every streaming service. The reboot is nowhere to be seen.

I just realized the reason why everyone seems to like Chris Hemsworth's character the most. It's because he stayed in character the entire fucking movie. He was the only person out of all of them to do what he was paid to do, fucking act.

I come back here now and then just to watch the Chris Helmsworth exchange. Gets me every time.

I enjoyed Mike's slow descent into drunkenness throughout the course of this discussion.

The name of that cocktail should "Ghoul-Aid"

This review should be showing in theaters everywhere, then I could spend $12 on going to see it instead of the new Ghostbusters and be more entertained. If you run it twice, that's about an hour and a half.

Melissa McCarthy has gone from being pretty funny in a hand full of movies to STILL only being funny in a hand full of movies,10 years later.

"Ghostbusters, what do ya want?" is like one of the best single lines in film

Paul Feig dresses like he's in a Wes Anderson film.

I think Rich is right. Ghostbusters 2016 seems (thankfully) largely forgotten already

Watching this again, after Jennifer Lawrence's Variety madness, it makes me wonder how many times we're going to have to have the "female action star" discussion.

the Caradine joke is the kind of stuff that makes life worth living

Sony, please stick to making TVs, sound systems, and video game consoles. Thank you.

I would pay top dollar to see a team of four Rich Evans-es reboot this film. Call it _Skostbusters._

"jj abrams and the crew behind making that movie (force awakens) knew not to fuck with the fans and call them assholes and dickheads" watching this now, after everything that has happened to StarWars, I actually laughed out loud.

I love coming back to this review. It warms my heart.

When Paul Feig talks, he sounds like Walter White when he thinks his lie is actually working on Skyler.

Paul Fieg seems to produce 80% of the global smug

wow, you literally have to get wasted to even stomach discussing this film at length. hahahaha

I always enjoy their back and forths, especially when it's clearly random as the HeLmsworth bit - 26:57. And you can just look at Jay and see that he has no idea what Mike's about to say. Sometimes I think Jay is Mike's biggest fan.

A lot of people talk about how Ghostbusters (2016) was intended from the get-go to be a female empowerment movie. While that's not far-fetched, another KZfaqr, Comic Book Girl 19, brings up an interesting point that the feminist spin to the movie was really an attempt from Sony to cover up the fact that they really just made a shitty movie. They released the trailer, saw the negative backlash, saw some feminist retaliation against the backlash, and then realized they could fuel the flames to cover up their horrible mistake of a film. Her bottom line is that the Sony executives (and big TV/movie executives in general) are just lazy fucks that don't want to put effort into making an original, creative movie with substance, so they milk old franchises and make sequels and reboots and spin them in whatever way boosts ticket sales or views.

Half in the Bag > Nostalgia critic

"Fuck you." "No, fuck you!" I don't know why I love that part so much, I watched this part 3 times I couldn't stop laughing.

22:03 “Star Wars got it right” and that folks, was the last time Jay ever said that sentence.

CONGLATURATION ! ! ! YOU HAVE WATCHED A GREAT MOVIE . AND PROOVED THE SOCIAL JUSTICE OF OUR WARRIORS . NOW GO AND REST OUR WOMEN ! -Ghostbusters 2016

Paul Feig looks like Stephen Hawking's head photoshopped onto a CEO.

Wow I was 16 when I first watched this. Now I’m 21 and just bought myself some crystal head vodka. Hell yea

"But they weren't talking about farting, they were talking about queefing... and there's a big anatomical difference..." And that's why I love Rich.

This film highlights how damn good the original film was.

Apparently Pringles wanted nothing to do with the movie. They put them in anyways. Shows more about Sony.

the added laughtracks were INFINITELY more funny than the movie content itself. Also hearing the suit talk up the movie, about how *hilarious* it is, like for example "i knew he could be funny but i didnt know he could be HILARIOUS" was up with most inane, transparent corporate bullshit speak I've ever seen.

6:18 "Eating Pringles and saying stupid things". Cut to Rich Evans. Brilliant editing.

My God, Paul Feig is the human embodiment of 'trying too hard.'

"here's an existing property, now we can make it our own" that's always a bad sign for any sort of remake, adaptation, or anything like that, unless the original was bad.

Ironically this film made me cringe myself to death and now I'M a ghost.

Seeing Mike actually drunk is like discovering a secret treasure chest.

i was about to go to sleep, but fuck that

Mike's slow deterioration into intoxication, makes this review freaking hilarious !

Their closing statement of how 4 months after this movie's release, the term "Ghostbusters" will only refer to the 1984 original is true enough. I clicked this thinking it was going to be about that. Nice work, fellas!

Oh my god. If I contracted a terminal illness and the Make a Wish people came to my bedside to ask what I'd like, it would be to spend an evening with those 3 guys drinking Dan Aykroyd vodka.

Die Hard with a picture of David Carradine... well played

Red Letter Media has by far the best comment section on KZfaq

KZfaq asked me if the algorithm had correctly recommended this video and why. I checked every box, including life changing. Because Richard Evans.

The only reason Ghostbusters (2016) was made was so this review could exist.

5:47 I love how mike tilts his head when Jay says paul feig has done quality work

The Ghostbusters remake should've been directed by Sam Raimi.

The controversy behind this movie was infinity funner then the movie itself. Always a great sign for a comedy.

6 years later and I just got the David Carradine “Die Hard” joke. Hahahaha good shit rlm

23:55 "We have a new star wars movie with a diverse cast and it's not made a big deal of" Oh to be back in 2016

I got really drunk on Dan Ackaroid's Crystal Head Vodka today. I thought it was appropriate that I revisit this episode

I seriously question how people who call themselves professionals looked at this movie and thought they made a good film.

Alarm bells started ringing for me when the first caption in the trailer said "four scientists saved New York." Winston wasn't a scientist. Great guy and utterly essential but not a scientist. He was just a dude who wanted a job.

"Not a movie about a bunch of schlubby exterminators that are losers." Next shot: Frame of Mike, Jay, and Rich Evans.
