Ghostbusters - WHAT WENT WRONG

What this episode covers

A specter of a script! A lead prone to ghosting! A soul-wrenching schedule! This week, Chris & Lizzie cross the streams with 1984’s supernatural success story, Ghostbusters. Learn how a cabal of Canadian comedians created an American classic and how John Belushi haunted the film more literally than you may know.*CORRECTIONS:*Chris incorrectly stated that Gremlins was the first film to receive a PG-13 rating. Though it helped prompt the invention of the PG-13 rating (created on July 1, 1984), Gremlins was given a PG rating. The first film to receive this new designation was Red Dawn, released in August of 1984.*Lyndsey Buckingham caught some undeserved strays in this episode - he'd actually recently written Holiday Road for National Lampoon's Vacation and made quite a bit of sense as Reitman's choice to write the Ghostbusters theme.Go Ad-Free - Join Our Patreon!Check Out Our Merch!Follow Us on Instagram!What Movie's Next?

Explicit Shut Up I Love It Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello Many years ago, Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello met in line for an improv show. They were young, dumb, and full of it. What followed were comedy shows so explicit, “genitalia” was practically a term of endearment.Fast forward 5 dogs, 6 cats, and way too many weird inside jokes later, Sasha and Joe are no longer young or dumb—but they’re still brimming with you-know-what. Here, they’ve teamed up to bring you a podcast where they interview a guest who passionately defends something universally hated, misunderstood, forgotten, overlooked, Mandela-effected, canceled—you name it. The key? They LOVE it. From toupees... to B-movies... to aliens, psychedelics, and the occasional surprise character, Sasha and Joe are here to spread love to the world that birthed them (but maybe should’ve used protection).So come and get that love because no one else will give it to you like we do.Also, don’t forget to check out the Patreon Bonus version of the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/ShutUpILoveItP Explicit
