148. Ghostbusters and The State of Blockbusters in 2016

The Ghostbusters reboot opened in theaters this week to decent reviews, solid box office, and the wailing of bitter man-children. Matt & Ed weigh the pros and cons of the Paul Feig-directed version before segueing into a broader discussion about the crisis afflicting Hollywood blockbusters, as big-budget franchise after big-budget franchise has failed this year. In addition to all this, Matt shares an adorable story about making his own Ghostbuster unform as a child, Ed tries to come to terms with not hating Batman v Superman, and they both try and pitch a sequel to Me Before You. 00:00:00 - 00:02:05 - Intro 00:02:06 - 00:20:16 - Matt & Ed review Ghostbusters [Spoilers] 00:20:17 - 00:54:03 - Discuss of 2016's slate of blockbusters [Spoilers for Batman v Superman] 00:54:04 - 00:59:15 - SRS Recommends & Outro
