A specter of a script! A lead prone to ghosting! A soul-wrenching schedule! This week, Chris & Lizzie cross the streams with 1984’s supernatural success story, Ghostbusters. Learn how a cabal of Canadian comedians created an American classic and how John Belushi haunted the film more literally than you may know.
*CORRECTIONS:
*Chris incorrectly stated that Gremlins was the first film to receive a PG-13 rating. Though it helped prompt the invention of the PG-13 rating (created on July 1, 1984), Gremlins was given a PG rating. The first film to receive this new designation was Red Dawn, released in August of 1984.
*Lyndsey Buckingham caught some undeserved strays in this episode - he'd actually recently written Holiday Road for National Lampoon's Vacation and made quite a bit of sense as Reitman's choice to write the Ghostbusters theme.
