#1102 - "Remembrances, Recaps, and Dormancy" - June 16, 2025

This week on the podcast, we’re remembering Harris Yulin, recapping Ghostbusters Day 2025, and talking about a GBFans thread asking if Ghostbusters has gone into dormancy once again. First up, Troy and Chris pay a little tribute to Ghostbusters II’s Judge Stephen “The Hammer” Wexler, played by the incredible character actor Harris Yulin, who passed last week at the age of 87. Then in somewhat of a news segment, the boys recap all the things that were revealed at Ghostbusters Day 2025 including Jason Reitman, McKenna Grace, and Carrie Coon showing up to meet and greet the fans, glowing Hasbro offerings, Crocs, and the Ghostbusters Give Back initiative, a great way for fan franchises to see their good deeds marked by the official Ghost Corps headquarters. Then, in the second half of the show, we ask each other a question that seems to be taxing our favorite message board haunt: has Ghostbusters gone dormant again? And do kids these days even know what dormancy of an IP is? Yeah, we’re old. That comes up too. But doesn’t it always?
