Summary

The supernatural comedy from 1984 starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis has stood the test of time. While some things (the proton pack) aged more well than others (Dr. Pete Venkman), this episode is devoted to exploring the movie as a whole. Have we learned everything we need to know about New York from the movie? What does each ghostbuster bring to the group? Is Dana Barrett such a cool character because she reminds us of Margaret Dumont? In this episode of What the Hype?! Micah and Eric are joined again by Ivan Guerrero, Ghostbusters (and LEGO) super fan! We discuss our favorite ghosts, themes of the movie and why its anti-establishment characters are further grounded in heart once Winston joins the team. Check out Ivan’s vintage movie trailer for ‘The Ghost Busters’ (1954)! https://youtu.be/kAboGO9MDsQ?si=yZhXSe5pxqz3Gm-2 Ivan can be found on YouTube at @WhoIsEyevan (https://www.youtube.com/@whoiseyevan) and on Instagram at @bulldoozerbricks (https://www.instagram.com/bulldoozerbricks/) Don't forget to follow us in your favorite podcast app, leave us a review, and tell a friend about the show!
