Summary
On this week’s episode of Vanity Fair’s Little Gold Men podcast, Mike, Richard, and our esteemed temporary co-host Joanna Robinson debate the merits of "Ghostbusters" and its legion of “ghostbro” haters. From there, the conversation moves to "Swiss Army Man," a controversial indie movie that Joanna loves, Richard hates, and Mike is ambivalent enough about to play referee. Plus, we offer up some Emmy nominations predictions, and then take a look at the 1985 Oscars, when "Ghostbusters" was nominated for best original song, up against some certified classics.
