This week on the show, we’re talking about Ghostbusters: Back in Town #2 from Dark Horse Comics, and then diving back into some more Ghostbusters cinematic universe loose ends talk from last week! But this time, we’re armed with a lengthy email from resident J.H. Tobin, Michael Tanaka! Things that he’d like to see explored, stories he thinks are worth telling, and a lot of discussion about where and why some of the extended storytelling could, should, and maybe isn’t happening at the moment. It’s a fun one, don’t miss it! (And we love you, Michael. Don’t change.)
#1008 - "A Few Loose Ends" - April 22, 2024
This week on the show, now that we’re four canonical films in, we’re exploring the hidden corners and loose ends of the Ghostbusters storytelling that we’d like to see Ghost Corps explore. From Ray and Egon’s rift, to the time period between Ghostbusters II and that rift occurring and beyond, here are the untold stories that we feel are worthy of being told (and in some cases, the medium we think that they should be presented).

You know that means we have to podcast, right? It’s a given. Must. Join Troy and Chris this week as they talk about the tease and what it could mean, is it a trailer? Is it a poster? Is it a title reveal for the new Ghostbusters film? Is it all of the above? After that, the boys talk Hasbro’s latest amazing crowdfunding effort that promises a Ghost Trap and PKE Meter for $300, and we’ve been logging some hours on Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed ECTO EDITION, so we’ll throw in a few thoughts. All that plus some in an all-new episode of the Crossrip!
#904 - "Remembering Dan Goldberg" - July 17, 2023

Then, in the closing moments of the show, the great Secret Studio North sale has begun. How can you get your hands on some of Chris’ goods (wait, that didn’t sound right) and just how much did his can of Heinz Real Ghostbusters spaghetti sell for? Tune in to find out!
