Paul’s Pick – December Episode

Movies In A Nutshell

Don’t just watch movies — understand them!

PART 1 – The Nutshell – If you haven’t seen it (SPOILER-FREE!)

A totally spoiler-free breakdown of the supernatural comedy that became a cultural landmark. The team explore the film’s tone, humour, pacing, world-building and the iconic characters that made Ghostbusters an enduring blockbuster.


By the end of Part 1, you’ll know whether this blend of paranormal chaos, sharp wit and 80s charm deserves a spot on your watchlist today.


PART 2 – The Unboxing – If you’ve seen it

What Did You Miss?

A fun and insightful dive into the themes under the surface — from science vs. belief to ego, ambition and 80s social satire — plus how its analogue effects, creature work and improvisation shaped modern movie comedy.


Paul’s Facts of the Day

The chaotic origins of the script, the casting that nearly went a very different direction, the on-set improv that changed entire scenes, and the behind-the-scenes secrets behind Slimer, Stay Puft and those iconic proton packs.

Marc, Darren & Paul drop their scores and officially place Ghostbusters in the Legend League.
