POPULARITY
“Switch me on.”When you think about it, the original Ghostbusters movie captivated a generation in a way that we usually reserve for franchises like Star Wars. Who would have thought that a big budget semi-horror comedy featuring a bunch of Saturday Night Live alums would become the kind of pop culture phenomenon that is still releasing films 40 years later, not to mention a parade of animated series, collectibles, video games, and more? And yet, that's exactly what happened!And perhaps a key part of that appeal was the central piece of equipment that the Ghostbusters outfitted themselves with: the proton pack. Essentially an “unlicensed nuclear accelerator” that they wear on their backs that allows them to “herd” ghosts into the equally fantastic traps (something that will perhaps be the focus of a future episode of Does it Fly?), the proton pack is as striking a visual as Star Wars' lightsaber or Star Trek's transporter. It's far from the only reason Ghostbusters has endured, but the millions of children of the 1980s who turned their school backpacks into ghost-fighting machines can't be wrong!At the heart of Ghostbusters is the fact that our heroes are all scientists, despite their shared interest in the paranormal. In a way, that's not too different from the dynamic of our brilliant hosts, who spend this special, spooky episode of Does it Fly? debating both the science and story logic of this beloved device.You can also watch the latest episode of Does it Fly? on our YouTube page. FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! ProtonsYou can't wrap your head around a proton pack without first understanding the proton itself, which is simply a positively charged particle in the nucleus of an atom. Wait, did we say “simply?” No, these aren't that simple at all (note how Hakeem says in this episode that “the word particle can mean different things in different contexts”). Find out why right here.Particle AcceleratorsAccording to Hakeem, the proton pack is essentially a particle accelerator. Let the International Atomic Energy Agency explain them to you far better than we can. But the key here is the concept of the cyclotron, first developed by Ernest Lawrence, and which even existed in a surprisingly portable form (pending energy use necessity, of course).Beta DecayWe admit, this one is tough to follow on its own. Fortunately, there are visual references that help us follow along.Let's just let Hakeem explain how it all ties together: “The Ghostbusters use positrons to power their cyclotron which accelerates their protons so they can use them to capture ghosts.” (phew)The Real Inspiration for GhostbustersTamara brings up how Dan Aykroyd was inspired to pursue the Ghostbusters concept by an academic article from The Journal of the American Society for Psychical Research (which is absolutely real). We are pretty sure that the actual article in question can be read right here!SUGGESTED VIEWING It's almost unthinkable that anyone who has clicked on this episode hasn't seen the original Ghostbusters, which is truly a generational, all-time great movie. There's an entire franchise worth exploring beyond it, though. Here's a quick guide to watching them all in the appropriate order.Ghostbusters (1984) and Ghostbusters II (1989)The two movies that make up the bedrock of Ghostbusters canon. The first, is, of course, self-explanatory. Its sequel was seen as something of a disappointment upon release, but in the years since it's seen a critical re-evaluation from the general public. The first movie belongs to a unique category of high-concept genre comedies of the 1980s, which even had this not spawned a series of movies, a toy line, an animated series, and countless collectibles would have made it pretty unique. Others that played with the formula established here include Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Beetlejuice (which we did an entire episode on that you can watch right here).Ghostbusters: Answer the Call (2016)Unfairly maligned upon release for reasons we need not get into here, Paul Feig's complete reboot of the franchise (it's set in a parallel universe from the first films) is better than you've heard. HoweverGhostbusters: Afterlife (2021) and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)These are essentially the belated Ghostbusters III and IV. As is the case with Ghostbusters sequels, your mileage may vary.For those of you who really want to dig deeper, though, you'd be surprised at just how cool (and even scary!) The Real Ghostbusters cartoon from the 1980s was. In particular, if you're looking for some spooky seasonal viewing, allow us to suggest the first season episode “When Halloween Was Forever” which feels like a genuine Ghostbusters movie condensed down to less than 30 minutes.

If you are a Ghostbusters fan, you've been waiting for Ghostbusters III for 30+ years. And even though Jason Rietman, writer and director of Ghostbusters: Afterlife, says his movie isn't Ghostbusters III, it certainly feels like the like the sequel we've been waiting for. This is a spoiler filled discussion so if you haven't seen the movie yet, maybe come back after you have. And if you haven't seen it yet, go see it! Just make sure you stay past the credits… right Ray?Host: Eugene StephensGuests: Kris Andrew, Ray Andrew, Joseph Moroles, Lanie Moore, Bev Larkin, Rob WalkerLike the show?

Listen, for all the online discourse in 2016, Ghostbusters (2016) is in no way as bad as it's been made out to be. Is it perfect? No. Is it the superior Ghostbusters? No. Is it the Anti-Christ of the Ghostbusters universe? No. Do I find it hilariously funny and love these women? YES! Is Chris Hemsworth the most gifted human being in the world other than Keanu Reeves? Probably! Joining me with his own proton pack of appreciation for Ghostbusters, is Simon Brew. Editor of Film Stories magazine/website and host of Film Stories podcast. Together we're taking on the ghosts of reboots, and taking aim at the misogynists and hate-spewers of the world. Just because Ghostbusters 2016 exists, and it exists for a reason mind you, it doesn't erase or belittle Ghostbusters or Ghostbusters II. There's enough room for all these incredibly talented and funny actors to bust ghosts in Hollywood.Ghostbusters III had been in the pipeline for years and years, until a reboot of the story was optioned instead and announced to be a female team. The trailer, released online in early 2016, quickly generated a slurry of hateful, misogynistic and racist remarks and even death threats to its director. Death threats! For a movie! You can't make this up.... While I'll admit it's not my favourite Ghostbusters movie, Ghostbusters 2016 has a special place in my heart and it does some brilliantly innovative things with its visuals and 3D. I'm sad we won't get to see these characters again. Especially Holtzmann, she's AWESOME! Thank you to the wonderful Simon Brew for being brilliant and occasionally hilarious. You can find his work at https://www.filmstories.co.uk/ or on Twitter @filmstoriespod and listen to the Film Stories podcast if you like what I do, but you want someone who's much much better at it (despite his insistence to the contrary).Charge the lines, create the vortex, break the barriers.....I would love to hear your thoughts on Ghostbusters (2016)!GET IN TOUCH....Twitter @verbaldioramaInstagram @verbaldioramaFacebook @verbaldioramaLetterboxd @verbaldioramaEmail verbaldiorama [at] gmail [dot] comWebsite verbaldiorama.comSUPPORT VERBAL DIORAMA....Leave a 5-star rating/review: Apple Podcasts or Podchaser Join the Patreon: patreon.com/verbaldioramaThank you to all the patrons Simon E, Sade, Jardiel, Claudia, Simon B, Laurel, Derek, Jason, Kristin, Cat, Andy, Mike and Griff!NEW!

The idea for Banjo Robinson came about when Kate's father used to hide mail throughout the house for her to find when she was a child and when she was writing to friends' children back home in England. Thus, Banjo Robinson the company was born. For a generation of tech consumers, proper, paper post was a fresh way to spread magic of storytelling, and so Banjo Robinson - adventurer, penpal and magical cat was born.

We learn through every day life and experiences that are not “school-like” in any way, and things do not need to “academically” educational to be worthy of our time and effort. We can all be creative in the ways we learn different things, whether we are young or old! Get your kids excited about discovering something new by disguising the learning activities as fun time. There are many other ways to learn, though, and as parents we can understand our children and see what styles they enjoy and respond to best. The most important thing is that we are encouraging our children to explore the world around them. Foster kindness and empathy It is critical to start and teach kids at a young age, when they can most easily absorb fundamental lessons. Usually, children like to learn from the people around him. They mimic the behavior of others and implement that in their own behavior. They are born imitators. So, we should present an imitable character before them which will help them grow as a good human being. Children are the future habitants of this world. If they are kind and empathetic, the world will be in safe hands. Teach kids the importance of diversity Promote self-discovery by sharing personal journeys and helping kids understand that everyone has a story. Teach children that their lives are enriched when they encounter and befriend people from different racial, ethnic or socioeconomic backgrounds, or who face different learning or physical challenges. Remind kids that everyone is an individual and when kids are self-aware and self-accepting, they are less likely to be judgmental or prejudiced. Subscribe!

Die Zeitreise geht weiter! Im zweiten Teil unserer Ghostbusters III- Chronik sprechen wir über den Paul Feig- Reboot von 2016 (ausführlicher wird es in einer eigenen Episode zu "Answer The Call") und diskutieren über alles, was wir bisher über den kommenden Film von Jason Reitman an Informationen und Gerüchten haben.
Wir steigen in unseren Delorian (ups, falsches Franchise!) und reisen durch 25 Jahre Fakten und Gerüchte zu Ghostbusters III. Freut euch auf Infos zum damaligen "Hellbent"- Script, dem Max Landis Pitch und vieles mehr in unserer kleinen Zeitreise. Hinweis: Bei einem Umfang von mehr als 3 Stunden war es uns nicht mehr möglich auf den kommenden Film einzugehen. Dies werden wir in der nächsten Episode nachholen und somit an diese Folge anschliessen.
"Winston" has had talks with the people behind the new Ghostbusters film, aaaaand.......
Just when you thought a nostalgic chapter in our lives had come to a close, here comes Jason Reitman with a surprise announcement of a direct sequel to the original Ghostbusters movies with no mention at all of the 2016 reboot. We talk about what we know of the forthcoming movie as well one particular response to its announcement. You probably know the one we're talking about. Also, Eric has us try a couple of items he found at the Asian market, Lotus Root and Jackfruit.
Allen and Gerald are joined by Tori Brazier, with an all-too-brief appearance by EJ Moreno to discuss the Jason Reitman directed Ghostbusters sequel, the John Wick 3 trailer, EA's cancellation of single player Star Wars games, the Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer, and more See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
It may be harder to get Rick Moranis involved in this than Harold Ramis, but Ivan Reitman's son says there will be a third installment of this beloved franchise. Also beloved: "Family Guy," but I don't like that they're talking about giving a "protected group" a pass.
We’re back to regularly scheduled programming after a couple odd-weeks and there’s TONS to discuss: Ghostbusters World, Men in Black crossovers, it’s a four-fold Crossrip for our return. First up, Troy and Chris have had some time with Ghostbusters World, what have they liked? What needs improvement? What level are they and how does it compare to Greg Miller? Then, IDW Games has announced a new boardgame crossover that pits the Men in Black property with Ghostbusters for the first time (officially). Other news items in discussion: that Ghostbusters II remote controlled trap up for auction, Bryan Lynch’s Ghostbusters III concept, Ghostbusters Dimension’s status at VOID arcade attractions, and Chris hits us all with a half-hour rapid-fire of anything and everything we’ve missed over the past couple weeks!
Minus Lucho, Devo and Clint discuss their own retrospective on the Ghostbusters move, Ghostbusters II and Ghostbusters: The Videogame! Next week, we go over the doomed Ghostbusters III, Ghostbusters Inc. and how excited Devo is for the Ghostbusters reboot!
This week, you get not just the usual weekly Crossrip episode but we're introducing our sister-show, The Cyclotron! First up, Troy and Chris chat their usual news discussion including some chat about LEGO Dimensions and the under the radar announcement that a Ghostbusters (2016) tie-in console video game is coming from Activision. Also Hook and Ladder No. 8 in New York City is closing up shop for the next three years as it undergoes huge interior and exterior renovations and the boys have all the news that's fit to print on what's changing. The UK had a Toy Fair last week and Rocket Licensing showed off their first wave of tie-in products and boy, the sheer volume is a doozy! Entertainment Tonight interviewed Paul Feig on the red carpet at the Golden Globes and a seemingly trivial comment about test screenings has the internet in a frenzy, find out why. Nerf Herder is back with an all-new single from their upcoming album and it'll hit you right where it hurts, listen to an excerpt from their new song "Ghostbusters III." Plus, Sony has an Indoor Theme Park coming to Minnesota, Ghost Corps wants your franchises, and so much more... whew. And if that wasn't enough, we're spending the second half of the episode to introduce you to our new sister-show The Cyclotron! Special roundtable discussion episodes that will follow major releases meriting a little more in-depth discussion and analysis is what you'll find in these periodic episode releases - and this week we're pleased to be joined with Ryan Doell of the Ghostbusters of BC to talk about this week's release of Ghostbusters International #1 by IDW. Page by page, panel by panel, listen to the gang discuss this launch issue of an all-new Ghostbusters on-going comic volume and look for future episodes of the Cyclotron to feature familiar faces talking about very incredibly cool things!
The boys and special guest Kristin Vanderbilt drink leftover beers and dissect nostalgia and why our generation cradles it like a baby.

This one is for the ladies. We review two movies with female leads, American Mary, about a med school student who turns to a dark underworld, and Nurse, about a... well, nurse, who brings a dark underworld to the surface. Both feature women who are a little south of normal. We also give you the business. Horror Business, that is. We catch you up on the latest from Rob Zombie and Bret Easton Ellis, provide updates on the Goosebumps movie and Comes the Krampus!, and tell you why the remake of Pet Sematary is going to be god-awful, which leads into a whole spiel about Hollywood stomping all over the horror genre. On top of all that, we introduce you to the new John Constantine, give you the latest on Ghostbusters III, break down Penny Dreadful, and tell you what Eli Roth is up to these days. If that's not enough, we also tell you about Utero and warn you of the dangers of Zombeavers. Take a listen, I think you'll like what you hear. ...ladies.
[Digital Gonzo 2013] This week we're back busting ghosts and investigating paranormal disturbances of all kinds. The majority of the show is spent discussing Ghostbusters II, the 1989 sequel that despite studio pressure, editing strife, shifting release dates, unhappy cast and crew, lukewarm reception and relative obscurity still manages to not be a terrible follow-up to one of the greatest comedies of all time. Also up for debate are The Real Ghostbusters, Extreme Ghostbusters, the 2009 video game and the prospects in store for a possible Ghostbusters III. Guests: Neil Taylor of TheKidDogg Matt Ramsey of GamerDork
[Digital Gonzo 2013] Welcome to the movie that started it all… for me anyway. Ghostbusters was the first trip to the cinema for me, aged four. In effect, considering our twelve inch, wooden, push-button telly, it was the first experience that made me understand what a film could be. And what a way to start a lifetime of being besotted with this medium. It has everything a young lad could want; eye-popping effects, hilarious dialogue from a really tight script, mythology and science hinting at a wider world and believable, lovable heroes facing off against a dark god in the center of New York. We clean up the town, taking you guys from creepy Columbia logo through to Slimer's final charge, along the way we talk about balancing comedy with horror, abandoned concepts and casting choices, the secrets of the special effects, the theoretical science of busting ghosts and for one loopy tangent… The Shining. Next week we're talking Ghostbusters II, The Real Ghostbusters, Extreme Ghostbusters, the 2009 Ghostbusters video game and the prospect of Ghostbusters III. This ended up being in the top three most quotable movies reviewed by Gonzo, up there with Aliens and Predator. We came, we saw, we kicked it- Guests: Joshua Garrity of Cane and Rinse Neil Taylor of TheKidDogg Gary Blower of GameBurst Matt Ramsey of GamerDork

Tredje gang er IKKE lykkens gang. Ikke i vores tilfælde i hvert fald, for selvom vi virkelig prøver at fatte os i korthed (det PRØVER vi altså), så lykkedes det ikke. Derfor er denne tredje podcast fra Filmnørdens Hjørne lige over 40 minutter. Det er for langt, det ved vi godt, men sådan er det altså bare denne gang. Målet er stadig at holde podcast'ene under 30 minutter, men denne gang kunne vi slet ikke la' vær' med at snakke om Julie & Julia, Solisten, stereotypiseringen af kvindelige instruktører, Ghostbusters III, filmfestival for bøsser og lebiske og meget andet. Så læn dig ekstra godt tilbage og lad dig føre rundt i filmens verden af Filmnørdens Hjørne. God fornøjelse!
