#1009 - "Loose Ends - Oops, All Tanakas"
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).

Then we dive into Back in Town #1 and how it helps bridge that time period between Afterlife and Frozen Empire, plus some. All that and more, plus a few more of your voicemails — and we kept it under an hour! Can you believe it?

#1002 - "Big in Japan" - March 11, 2024
On this, the week of the NYC premiere of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, we’re talking about the pressing questions on everyone’s mind like: just why is Ghostbusters so big in Japan? And why does Japan get all the cool stuff like the cool posters, music video, and Frozen Cafe pop ups? Don’t worry, we also talk about other things this week too like the premiere event in NYC, Hook and Ladder No. 8 being frozen over to benefit a good cause, Adam Savage’s Tested set visit, popcorn buckets, YHS’ Firehouse Fridays, and more! But seriously, why does Japan get all the cool stuff? And why does Ghostbusters resonate so deeply there?
