KYD 100 - Ghostbusters

Well, long time no see, darlings! Apologies for our long hiatus but, ya know, s**t happens. Back just in time for Halloween, this month we are watching the 80s comedy/horror classic Ghostbusters! Dan is...lukewarm on this movie. So we're gonna hopefully change his mind! When they lose their funding from Columbia University, paranormal research scientists Peter Venkman (Bill Murray), Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd) and Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis) decide to go into business as paranormal pest control. But when they are tasked with investigating the haunting of cellist Dana Barrett's (Sigourney Weaver) apartment, they find themselves tasked with an even greater challenge...saving the world! Also featuring the immense talents of Ernie Hudson, Rick Moranis and Slimer the hungry ghost! Chrysten of course grew up with this movie and its sequel in constant rotation on her TV. Dan, not so much. Will bustin' make Dan feel good? Or will he roast it like a Stay Puft marshmallow man? Join us and find out! Btw...Here's the link to the ruined painting mentioned in the episode.
