Summary

Chris-Mas continues with a discussion of the 2016 reboot of Ghostbusters -- and it FEELS like 2016 all over again, because we're wildly bummed about the misogynistic response to this film! We talk about the chicken-or-egg problem with this movie (was it bad before the criticism or did the criticism make it bad?), how Chris Hemsworth is unfortunately one of the funniest parts of this movie, and Kat gets pedantic.

0:57.8	What surrounds this movie is far bigger than the movie itself.
