It may not be for the movie franchise for which this podcast focuses but Rick Moranis is making a comeback, and this week we’re talking all about it. First up, Troy and Chris explore Moranis’ decision to return to acting for another Honey I Shrunk the Kids installment (and why didn’t he decide to give Ghostbusters Afterlife a go?). Then in the rest of the show, Bill Murray hits a ProAm, Carrie Coon and McKenna Grace get some press and are you ready for Toy Fair this week? We know we sure are!
#545 - "Who is More the Fool?" - November 18, 2019
This week on the show, Chris and Troy catch up on merch news and the latest Ghostbusters (2020) chat including casting, title rumors, and Ecto Cooler fake-outs. First up on the merch train, Wal-Mart has a whole display of model cars, Eaglemoss figures that were previously exclusives are up for grabs, and William Murray has a pretty great Ghostbusters-specific item just in time for the holidays. In fan film and watchables news, check out V-Sauce’s “Could You Survive” Ghostbusters, some legal chat, and a couple of fan films. Then in the second half of the show, let’s talk about that rumored Ghostbusters (2020) title, the confirmed casting announcements, and just what was the deal with that Ecto Cooler “ad” that circulated last week?
#539 - "Take This Broken Wing" - September 30, 2019
This week on the show, can Bill Murray teleport across Westeros like Littlefinger? How is he simultaneously in North America and also getting hurt in a car accident in Scotland (and on his 69th birthday too)? We’ll explore that as a segue into some Ghostbusters (2020) news including comments made by Ivan and Jason Reitman at the Calgary International Film Festival and a very familiar book cover image posted to Jason Reitman’s Instagram. All that plus updates on our ticket giveaway for Cleanin’ Up the Town and a little bit of merch news (t-shirts, t-shirts, and - - designer jeans?) in another edition of the Crossrip!
#407 - "Ghostbusters II Goofs" - February 19, 2018
Ghostbusters Goofs discussion continues this week with the "goofs" of Ghostbusters II according to imdb. But up first, a few news items including the possible sale of all film and TV assets by Sony Pictures, Playmobil's launch of Ghostbusters II figures, a mysterious LEGO mega-firehouse, Ghostbusters annual teases from IDW and exploring a hint Erik Burnham dropped about Crossing Over, and who is it that's trying to bring bell bottoms back? Bill Murray? Do you want to hustle?
#318 - "Zuul: Destroyer of Shins" - May 15, 2017
This week on the show, we're breaking down the announcement that Zuul is real - and it's a fossilized dinosaur! But before the boys dive into that, first some discussion about the 35th Anniversary (don't worry, you still have time to make your party plans), Extreme Ghostbusters and a VICE article chatting about how it got diversity right, and a little bit about those custom NES New Ghostbusters II cartridges that have been making the rounds on the internet. All that plus a great listener letter and voicemail on this week's Crossrip!
#312 - Cyclotron: Ghostbusters 101 #1 - April 3, 2017
It's back! The Cyclotron returns for a roundtable discussion about the debut issue of Ghostbusters 101 from IDW Comics. Joining us this time is artist extraordinaire John Yurcaba to dissect the issue one panel at a time. But up first, a quick rapid-fire half hour of news including Real Ghostbusters hitting Netflix, Anovos showing off their proton pack at WonderCon, some other IDW release news, and another William Murray Golf shirt that'll most likely be impossible to get. Then, step into the Cyclotron as the roundtable discusses easter eggs, plot points, characters, art, and a whole lot more for the first issue of the latest Ghostbusters crossover!
