Dean is joined by Sarah from the Forgotten Film Club to discuss the Ghostbusters: Preview Cut, presented by Jason Reitman. 

You'll hear about how Pete Venkman was much creepier in this early version of the movie, that Louis Tully was even more lovable than in the final cut, that Ghostbusters freaking out at empty corridors is almost as funny as the movie itself, and much more. 

Dean and Sarah compare screenings from opposite sides of the Atlantic, reflect on the stories Jason Reitman shared, and decide whether or not they'd recommend the Preview Cut to casual fans, hardcore fans... or even someone who hasn't seen Ghostbusters before. 

Plus we hear from a number of Ghostbusters fans outside the Prince Charles Cinema in London about what they were most looking forward to about the screening. 

You can listen to the Forgotten Film Club wherever you get your podcasts, or alternatively by visiting www.forgottenfilmclub.com.

Join Connor, Lee, Jay, Theo and Dean as the team discuss the impact of pushing back #AfterAfterlife until March 2024, what went wrong with the proposed Haslab Ghostbusters reveal that never was on August 10th, and why the makers of Ghostbusters themed Tarot Cards couldn't predict a delay in their release either...

Plus we reveal who we're going to be talking to about the Ghostbusters Preview Cut screening  (spoiler: it's someone from the Forgotten Film Club podcast), who might make a good sponsor for Fate, Luck & Karma, and why a young Lee said "nope" to a bubblebath on a Sunday night. 

Out of context, that sounds weird, but trust us, it'll make sense once you listen. 

All this, plus the return of Unnecessary Ghostbusters Censorship - and this time, it's the Dana Barrett edition!
