Failed Critics Podcast: Ghostbusters

Welcome to this week's Failed Critics Podcast, where the traditionally entirely-male line-up has been replaced, with hosts Stephanie Norman and Olivia Hughes, and their guests Andrea Brooker and Brianna Plank - and if anything, it's an improvement over the originals. The re-imagined, re-booted, re-failed foursome review the comedy film that seemingly hasn't been able to escape public opinion over the past fortnight (for both good and bad reasons) - that is Paul Feig's Ghostbusters, starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones and Chris Hemsworth. The Ghostbusters appreciation doesn't stop there for one of the guests, as prior to our main review, Brooker enthused over fan-doc Ghostheads, which is available on Netflix. As, coincidentally, is the latest Netflix Original, the sci-fi fantasy drama Stranger Things, which receives heaps of praise from both Steve and Owen. We're all about the praise on this episode apparently as Brian also lavishes some on Guy Ritchie's spy-comedy from last year, The Man From UNCLE. There was even room this week for the group to discuss the Emmy nominations and for Steve to not mess-up the quiz! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
