Half in the Bag: Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
Ойын-сауық
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is the newest Ghostbusters movie. It's the sequel to the last Ghostbusters movie, which was a franchise reset from the Ghostbusters movie before that one. Do you...do you remember Ghostbusters?
Mike, Jay, and Rich sit in an empty void to discuss this latest Sony product.
Do you remember Ghostbusters?

@@zarroth This is all GLEE's fault. Eff you GLEE! Seriously tho, Hollywood just needs to bring the creepers back. Post MeToo left a power vacuum that got filled by moralizing deebags who are unwilling and incapable of ever green lighting a Super Troopers or a Hangover-type movie. The comedy genre is basically non-existent. Taylor Sheridan might have enough industry cred to make movies that don't cater to pathetic people, but people like him and Eastwood are being actively boxed out. Nic Pizzolato was excluded from being involved in s4 of True Detective. The man created one of the better shows in the last 25 years and had his work hi-jacked and gifted to a South Park parody of a director. Who then went on to produce the biggest PoS I have ever seen. Our 2 female leads were featured in these bizarre sex scenes that both ended in the woman forcing a dude into a cream pie. So ya... I won't argue that cinema is basically dead.

La La Land and Arrival were in 2016. Blade Runner 2049 was 2017. Moneyball was 2011. Oppenheimer in 2023. Dune 1 and 2. If you're going to tell me that you think every single one of those movies is a pile of garbage, I'm going to strongly disagree with you and feel a little sorry for you. Granted, in the last few years, movies have been a bit rough- COVID and multiple strikes have taken their toll, after all- but to say that no good movies have been produced in at least 15 years is cynicism on a level approaching hubris.

There's Ghostbusters comics written by fans of the original and they wrote a bunch and people really seemed to dig that stuff. They even had a crossover with the movie counterparts in a multiversal sort of way like Mike was joking about. The 80s/90s comics also has a sequel to the Aliens movie where they give the story of Newt as a grown up as opposed to her death in the third. They also have badass Terminator sequels. The Telltale video games of Back To The Future were written by the same writer of the movies. These franchises have so many sequels in other media, particularly comics, but none of these "fans" give a shit unless it's on the big screen. There's also great Prometheus (Aliens) comics for people that wanted something more from the second movie (Covenant ) and it does all sorts of crazy genetic combinations and ideas. I can't make the entire list but, for the love of god, make an effort to experience some of these instead of just sitting and waiting for Hollywood to disappoint you yet again like a good little boy. 😮💨
I concede that Ghostbusters II is not great compared to the first but it does contain one of my favourite Egon lines: "We had part of a Slinky. But I straightened it." I still laugh to myself at this joke.
A Walmart commercial literally played for me after the video ended.
Mike’s Bill Murray impression is spot on, who would’ve thought that Mike could play an old depressed alcoholic?
I think I got it. Afterlife and Frozen Empire are not movies based on Ghostbusters, they're movies based on what the pop culture perception of Ghostbusters has now become. The 2009 game was essentially Ghostbusters 3, everything after that was "OMG, REMEMBER GHOSTBUSTERS!?!?!?". Also, Jay's idea of having a giant ghost trap on the roof of the car was already done before, it was called the super slammer and they used it in the 2009 game.

Also, here's some food for brain rot. People are already pissy about the lesbian ghost romance, right? Well how about this, Phoebe Spengler is supposed to be 15, and Melody is 16, so it's like young love, a first crush, that sort of thing. But Melody was 16 _when she died_, and they don't say how long she's been a ghost for. If it's been longer than two years, does she count as technically over 18? If so, I'm sure someone out there would probably find that problematic. Also Rich needs more credit for coming up with Ghayst.

My last nitpick is plot holes/plot conveniences. If Winston has been funding all this important ghost research and building a new ghost lab, why didn't the main team of Ghostbusters know about it until it was important to the plot? Wolf Flintmore's girlfriend is on their team and he didn't even know they existed? Why was Winston funding the development of advanced ghostbustering gear while letting the Spengler family continue to use 40 year old equipment and drive a 65 year old car that's actively breaking down? If the firehouse is so important to the safety of the world because it was a nexus point between worlds, why was he letting it fall into total disrepair for so long?

The whole notion of "pop culture perception of what the original film was like" describes the Blair Witch sequel from 2000. It was about people who were obsessed with the first movie and tried to recreate it. As opposed to just being an actual sequel. These ideas are ambitious and can be interesting, but are hard to pull off.

Just saw the original again, right after having seen the new one. My GOD, what a world of a difference in overall movie-making!! The original is so damn great, and so well structured. It’s both hilarious and pretty creepy, when it’s called for. It reaches legit epic heights in the last act, and you truly feel the dread and scale of the smack-down in New York! The characters are so definable, charming and funny, and no one is expendable (not even Winston, cause he’s quite frankly US) They all feel like REAL people, whereas people in the new film comes off way more cartoonish. Just look at how they portray Jenine in the original, and then look at her in the latest one. The original movie is so well written and paced PERFECTLY, just like Back to the Future. It has a great story and great build-up. Everything is tied together in the end, unlike in the new one. The overall FEEL is just on point in the original (everything feels weirdly real) and there’s legit BUSTING in it! Last but not least, the original doesn’t feel like a half-assed studio production. It’s a real FILM. The new one, sadly not so much 🤷♂️ Ps. Shocker! I still kinda like the new one, but my God does it suck when compared, on so many levels.

You know the real underrated joke in Ghostbusters? When Louis Tully gets eaten infront of all the rich dinners, and they go right back to eating with perfect comedic timing. Frozen Empire is the first Ghostbuster sequel since part 2 where I'm like "They almost got it, but it's still no where NEAR the original film." Ditch the whole family drama part and focus on giving the characters CHARACTER, and you'd have more of a Ghostbusters film. Also, there are more than one fire pole in the fire house.

Apparently Ghostbusters 2 was a contractual agreement that nobody wanted to do. It shows in the final product. And although it doesn't come close to the brilliance of the first film, it was still enjoyable. Not too shabby. The amazing chemistry of the original cast really kept it from completely falling apart. With that I would have loved to see a proper Ghostbusters 3 done in the early 90s, completing a trilogy and perhaps having an opportunity to really end on a high note. According to Dan Aykroyd that is essentially what we got with Ghostbusters: The Video Game, minus Sigourney Weaver which would have been a big boost. For my tastes, Ghostbusters is not an interchangeable group of people who put on suits and fire off their proton packs. They are Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Egon Spengler and Winston Zeddemore. It's their comedic timing, chemistry and comradery that makes the Ghostbusters so special.

Nothing in any of the "Ghostbusters" sequels has ever made any sense.
Mike's Haunt Me story is so relatable. I once got physically removed from Tate Gallery in London because, when I was there, they had this one room that was just painted red from floor to ceiling. And on one wall in this room was a large canvas, also completely red, in a slightly different shade. I think I stared at it for a good five minutes before something in my brain just snapped. This was supposed to be art. Stuff like this was created by the supposedly most creative minds on the planet, and discussed in classrooms at prestigious universities. I just couldn't take it. I thought, if this is art, then nothing matters and existence is a joke. The sudden nihilism overwhelming me manifested as maniacal laughter I _could_ not suppress. I choked and I wheezed, and the thought of dying from laughter in a snooty, pretentious art exhibit cracked me up even more, until someone called security. That experience changed my outlook on life forever.
The last section where they just talk about how great the original movie is was cathartic.

Nah, because a big part of what makes bite-sized social media content work is that it's dirt cheap and fast to shoot, edit, and publish. That's what allows it to be topical/trendy and feel 'authentic'. And they're free. Hollywood can't pay movie stars and unionized productions on an ad-driven monetization model. There's also the para-social relationship factor; no one is going to trick themselves into feeling like they're friends with A-list movie stars just because a movie is chopped up into 5 minute slices and shot in portrait.

There are still shills, of course, but there are even creators who call them out too. There are entire communities devoted to investigating and calling out bad business practices which is harder to do when you're a celebrity who doesn't want to lose your job or connections in different industries.

The 2009 Ghostbusters videogame remains the best Ghostbusters sequel. It had a tone consistent with the first movie, it had all the original characters, acting like the original characters. It referenced the original 2 movies, but managed to do new things with them. It was dry, self deprecating, and FUNNY. And while the gameplay did get a little old by the end, it was still a consistently fun game.

I think Mike nails the problem with all the Ghostbusters sequels when he emphasizes that the first movie was "just a comedy about some guys starting a business", and then the supernatural element of "it just happens to be a business in which they bust ghosts" is added ON TOP of that initial normal idea. That makes the movie ABOUT something other than the element that sensationalizes the movie into something absurd and crazy and larger-than-life, and you can feel that in the approach. It bleeds into the comedy style, where all of it flows from the absurdity of them treating busting ghosts like it's just a normal business... the believability and relatability of the characters and the situation is juxtaposed against the crazy supernatural world. None of the other Ghostbusters movies have really had that. They're all very much ABOUT being a Ghostbusters movie, and then any other elements of the story are added on top of that, which is the reverse of how the first movie worked. So it always feels like we're watching a movie just trying to be a Ghostbusters movie, while sometimes thinking "Oh yeah, and some of this relatable character and real-world situation stuff has to ALSO be there, I guess..."
