Canon Fodder Episode 23: Ghostbusters

On episode 23 of Canon Fodder we bust some ghosts. The Ghostbusters universe is much more expansive than most people probably realize. What started off as a one-off movie that was supposed to feature an SNL-based cast ballooned into a franchise lasting over 35 years, with plenty more to come. We spend most of the episode talking about what’s actually in canon, Ghostbusters 1, 2, and Afterlife. Once upon a time, the original animated show, The Real Ghostbusters, could have been considered canon, but not anymore. And that show does NOT age well. We have a blast figuring out where all of the fodder fits in, such as Extreme Ghostbusters, the 2009 video game based on an unproduced Ghosbusters 3 script, and of course the mostly unfunny 2016 Ghostbusters: Answer the Call. Plus, we tie Ghostbusters to the MCU and Caddyshack. Yea, it’s a doozy. As always, we have food and drinks on the show related to our universe. This week we drink the I Ain’t Afraid of No Bulls, fruited sour, from Bolero Snort and Crystal Head Vodka from Dan Aykroyd himself. There’s also some real-deal Stay Puft Marshmallows (WalMart exclusive) which we don’t actually eat, but we just had to have them.
