This week, we ain’t afraid of no ghosts, but we’re a little freaked out by the politics of busting them. The strange controversy over Paul Feig's gender-reversed GHOSTBUSTERS has us looking back at the original 1984 GHOSTBUSTERS to see what about it has inspired such strong feeling. In this half of the conversation, we focus on the then-and-now of Ivan Reitman's original, while trying (unsuccessfully) to dodge the dreaded "N" word: "nostalgia." Plus, some extra-long, extra-great feedback from our SUSPIRIA/NEON DEMON episodes.
Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about Oldbusters, Newbusters, or both by sending an email to [email protected], or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.
Intro: 00:00-02:50
Keynote: 02:51-05:10
Main Discussion: 05:11-41:02
Feedback/Outro: 41:03-51:25
