Ghostbusters Interdimensional Crossrip

The time has come, it’s Ghostbusters Day (week) again and 2023 is going to be a big one! With a new Ghostbusters film and plenty of new and exciting things on the horizon, Troy and Chris thought being accompanied by a unique one of a kind WGBI radio broadcast this week would be a fun way to celebrate. So, plug in those AirPods, or crank this up in your Ecto’s stereo, and live it up. Ghostbusters Day comes but once a year!

Hey, does this pole still work? Welcome back to the Ghostbusters Interdimensional Crossrip podcast! This week on the show, Troy and Chris talk a little about the state of the podcast, how we’ve figured out we’ll continue, and what that means is in store for your earholes in the future. Then, after we take care of the old business, it’s onto the new as we discuss the Eaglemoss Ecto-1 build continuing by Fanhome (spoiler, we may both not be continuing with the build — ooooh, drama), and the latest on the Ghostbusters: Afterlife sequel filming in London now. We haven’t had a chance to chat latest casting announcements, how the WGA and possibly other strikes are impacting production, and a whole lot more!

Once again, our Mix Master Chris Stewart returns to the airwaves to provide you with yet another epic Halloween treat for 2022, join him for music, rarities, the strange, and a few surprise cameos. As always, a can’t-miss episode of the Crossrip that only comes around once a year!

This week on the show, we’re over the moon to have Jenn Fujikawa the author of Ghostbusters: The Official Cookbook joining us! Jenn chats about the recipes within the book, the process of their creation, and the collaboration with co-author Erik Burnham to frame the book around a narrative structure. Plus, we get a sneak peek at some concoctions that you’ll be able to create at home! Make sure to check out Jenn’s food blog at JustJennRecipes.com and pick up your copy of the Ghostbusters Official Cookbook on October 25th!

No, your eyes and ears aren’t deceiving you - it’s a new Crossrip! Troy and Chris reunite (and it feels so good) to look back on the year that was our hiatus from October 2021 to date, and we take the opportunity to chat about the passing of Ivan Reitman, the future of the franchise with the codename Firehouse sequel, Dark Horse Comics, Netflix series, the animated film, Spirits Unleashed, and a whole lot more. Plus, it’s our first real opportunity to broach the topic of Ghostbusters: Afterlife and just what it means to both of us. Don’t call it a come back, call it a quick visit and join us, won’t you?

Ghostbusters Afterlife is coming to digital and physical home video releases, there’s a preview version of the original Ghostbusters film coming with it and… hey, just what the hell is going on with the podcast? Well, Troy will do his best to talk about all of the above as he closes out our seventh year of Ghostbusters podcasting and does his best Milt to tell the future of the show.

Two weeks to go, and if you’re still looking for the perfect holiday gift for the Ghostbusters fan in your life good ol’ Mr. Chris Stewart has the program for you! This year, he’s focusing on the makers in our community, creating cool things by hand - plus a few items that should be on every Ghostbusters fan’s wish list.

This week on the show, we’re honored to be joined by the amazingly talented special make-up and creature effects designer of Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Arjen Tuiten. Spoiler avoiders beware, we discuss any and all creatures and prosthetic make-up effects that were created for Jason Reitman’s outstanding film and delve into how the original Ghostbusters among other classics from the 1980’s inspired Arjen to get into his chosen profession in the first place. If you love creature design, animatronics, and learning just how all the magic is made, this is the podcast interview for you!

After a lifetime of waiting, then just a few months of waiting, and then hang on, back to waiting for over a year, then finally back to waiting a few months, nope, waiting more months, then weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds... Ghostbusters: Afterlife is here. While Troy is still on sabbatical, trying to return an ancient idol to a museum or deciphering prophetic riddles at the Vatican or some such nonsense, Chris has friend of the show Kevin Lim on to help him parse a little bit of what they saw in their first viewing. And if listening to two Ghostbusters nerds chatter way for an hour isn't your thing - dude, you know what we are here, hours of chatter - Kevin brought some treats from The Kevin and Sonia Morning Show on Kiss Radio Vancouver; Mckenna Grace herself! We are spoiler free in the first part, including Kevin's talk with Mckenna, and then we get downright spoilery in the second half. The heroism of Egon, suspiciously high-powered yet underutilized co-stars, who cried when, and what Ms. Grace has to say about a sequel. Let's go!

We're SO close to the release of Ghostbusters Afterlife that we can listen and smell it. So what can we do to pass the time? Hit WGBI on the radio. That’s right, WGBI is on the air with another Spooktacular mega-mix by the master himself, Chris Stewart. Songs, trailers, soundbites, and a whole lot more are coming your way. Don’t touch that dial, because WBGI is live!
