This week on the show, we’re honoring Cinefex Magazine which is ceasing publication after 40 years due to the pandemic. The special and visual effects journal that documented the creation of all our favorite films headed by Don Shay, Jody Duncan and Gregg Shay has been observing since Star Trek the Motion Picture and chronicled the making of Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II. Chris and Troy recall their introductions to the magazine, some of their favorite moments, and even do a little online shopping for their favorite back issues while they chat.

First up in the news, Jason Reitman introduced the original Ghostbusters at a special drive-in experience on the Sony Pictures lot and talked about how excited he is for Ghostbusters Afterlife to premiere on the big screen. Boss Films founder and Visual Effects legend Richard Edlund is receiving an honorary membership to the SMPTE organization that honors achievements in film technology. Oh and Bill Murray has a new movie with Sofia Coppola coming to Apple TV+ called “On the Rocks” and the boys talk about the trailer. Then in the second half of the show, the amazing artist CHOGRIN talks his first 3G show: Gremlins, Goonies and Ghostbusters, Crazy4Cult and Gallery 1988 shows, and a wild ride he spent in an Ecto with Ernie Hudson, his life and encounters with the paranormal in Ecuador, and his exclusive plans for a new show in 2021!

This week on the show: messages from carrier hawks, Crystal Head Vodka lawsuits and Hugo Awards (oh, my)! First up on the show, we revisit last week's Ghostbusters 101 Cyclotron roundtable for a few follow-up discussion points from Michael Tanaka, keeper of Ghostbusters lore-extraordinaire. Next, Troy and Chris chat about Ghostbusters Answer the Call's Hugo Award nomination and the fierce competition it faces. Finally, Dan Aykroyd emerged victorious from one of the most dramatic court room dramas since some of the best episodes of Law and Order - and Troy will excitedly attempt to recount the tale. All that plus Chris chats about the VFX magazine from the Ghostbusters Resurrection podcasters as promised from last week's show. Pour a Crystal Head-based beverage and join us!
