For our sixty-fourth episode, we’re finally joined by “Reels of Justice” co-host Dylan J. Schlender for a discussion of the late Harold Ramis and Ivan Reitman’s classic commentary for a film near and dear to his heart: 1984’s “Ghostbusters”. Amongst the things discussed: the debate of pan & scan versus letterboxed, growing up cartoon-obsessed despite being too young to watch the source material, the possible neurodivergence of Ramis’ character, Dan Aykroyd’s legendary $300-million-dollar draft, whether or not Bill Murray works best under Wes Anderson’s boot, identifying the golden age of “The Simpsons”, and so much more.
Ryan’s Recommendations: “Gremlins” (1984), “Aliens” (1986), and “Ghostbusters” (2016)
