Introduction to Ghostbusters: Answer the Call

00:00:00
Speaker
Hey, listeners, welcome back.
00:00:03
Speaker
We are going to talk today about Ghostbusters, or depending on where you view this or what you see, sometimes I also see it, Ghostbusters answer the call.

Initial Reception and Criticism

00:00:19
Speaker
We're talking about the 2016 all-female-led reboot of the property that was critically
00:00:30
Speaker
mangled uh when it first came out not very well liked um you know with other movies has time been kind to this one has and we've been able to look back and go oh this isn't all that bad um and and i'll say for me i'll get this out of the way here rob before i let you jump in um
00:00:57
Speaker
This is still actually a very bad movie, and I'm going to put this out there now for any listeners.

Misogyny vs. Legitimate Critique

00:01:05
Speaker
I don't want to hear bull crap about the fact that this movie gets a bad rap because it's an all female cast and, Oh my God, you guys are misogynistic.
00:01:14
Speaker
And, you know, Leslie Jones said that, and you know, it's, it was okay for her to go on and be like, Oh, it's because, you know, men don't want to see an all female cast and, you know, they don't like strong female leads.
00:01:29
Speaker
You know what?
00:01:29
Speaker
Give me, I'm sorry.
00:01:31
Speaker
Give me a break.
00:01:33
Speaker
Um,
00:01:34
Speaker
There's plenty of movies, you know, Terminator 2.
00:01:39
Speaker
Yes, that was Arnold.
00:01:41
Speaker
But Linda, Linda Hamilton, you know, is a protagonist that people will talk about.
00:01:47
Speaker
Ripley is someone who people still continue to talk about.
00:01:51
Speaker
You look at the Oceans 8 movie, which is an all female version of those ocean movies, and it was spectacular.
00:02:00
Speaker
Love that movie.
00:02:01
Speaker
I don't care if it's an all-female cast.
00:02:03
Speaker
I don't care if it's an all-male cast.
00:02:05
Speaker
I don't care what the cast is.
00:02:07
Speaker
If it's a good movie, I'll enjoy it.
00:02:09
Speaker
And if it's a bad movie, I won't enjoy it.
00:02:12
Speaker
And there are plenty of reasons why this is a bad movie that has nothing to do with the female cast.
00:02:20
Speaker
If you want to be upset...
00:02:22
Speaker
Be upset because every one of your characters, no matter how hard they try, you're all the same in this movie.
00:02:29
Speaker
When you really look at this movie and how it breaks down and everything it does, you're all

Critiquing Comedy and Characters

00:02:34
Speaker
the same.
00:02:34
Speaker
You're all one note.
00:02:36
Speaker
You're all, you know what's comedy is us being loud.
00:02:39
Speaker
That's loud.
00:02:41
Speaker
Leslie Jones character.
00:02:43
Speaker
Go ahead.
00:02:44
Speaker
Leslie Jones character wants to yell because it's funny.
00:02:47
Speaker
It's funny.
00:02:48
Speaker
That's how you're funny is being loud.
00:02:50
Speaker
Kate McKinnon's character.
00:02:52
Speaker
is loud and funny.
00:02:55
Speaker
Melissa McCarthy, who I actually like a lot.
00:02:59
Speaker
I've liked her in a ton of movies.
00:03:01
Speaker
Spy is one of my favorite movies, and she's the freaking lead, and I love her in it.
00:03:06
Speaker
I think she's great.
00:03:07
Speaker
This is her being a character of Melissa McCarthy because her comedy is being loud, saying something ridiculous, and falling.
00:03:18
Speaker
That's not comedy.
00:03:20
Speaker
It's not funny.
00:03:21
Speaker
It happens over and over and over again.
00:03:23
Speaker
Every one of these characters does it.
00:03:25
Speaker
And it, and I'll say some good things about this movie.
00:03:29
Speaker
I think there's some good ideas, but man,
00:03:34
Speaker
This is terrible.
00:03:35
Speaker
And this is the first time that you watched it.
00:03:36
Speaker
So I'll let you go.
00:03:39
Speaker
This was the first time that I'd watched it.
00:03:41
Speaker
Hard to disagree with anything you've said so far.
00:03:44
Speaker
The people that like to talk about how if you say bad things about this movie, it's because of the patriarchy or it's because of misogyny.
00:03:53
Speaker
They like to talk about equality.
00:03:54
Speaker
And yes, equality is important.
00:03:55
Speaker
But you know what equality means?
00:03:57
Speaker
Like what true equality means is that women are just as capable of making shitty movies as men.
00:04:03
Speaker
Or starring in shitty movies.
00:04:05
Speaker
And by the way, here's a whole bunch of women in this movie starring in a shitty movie.
00:04:11
Speaker
They're just as capable.
00:04:12
Speaker
That's what true equality is, is that you can look at a female-led movie and give it just the same level of criticism as you would...
00:04:23
Speaker
A male starred movie.
00:04:25
Speaker
And it's funny because you only hear misogyny being the reason why a female led movie doesn't do well at the box officer, doesn't get rated well, when the movie actually sucks.
00:04:38
Speaker
You heard this about the second Wonder Woman movie.
00:04:41
Speaker
They came out and said it was all because of misogyny that nobody saw.
00:04:44
Speaker
Well, it came out in the middle of the pandemic, but the reason it got bad reviews was because of that.

Equality in Film Criticism

00:04:49
Speaker
It had nothing to do with the fact that it was a terrible movie.
00:04:51
Speaker
The first one did very well.
00:04:53
Speaker
The first one is widely regarded as good, so the misogyny didn't hurt the first one.
00:04:57
Speaker
It only hurt the bad movie.
00:04:59
Speaker
Last time I checked, Barbie made $17 septillion last summer.
00:05:05
Speaker
I'm pretty sure misogyny didn't hurt that movie at all.
00:05:09
Speaker
It's that word only comes out to describe.
00:05:12
Speaker
And you know who gives that movie a ton of great reviews?
00:05:17
Speaker
Men.
00:05:17
Speaker
Men.
00:05:17
Speaker
Yeah, I went and saw that movie.
00:05:19
Speaker
I thought it was great.
00:05:21
Speaker
I thought it missed the mark on a couple of points and hit them too late.
00:05:24
Speaker
I absolutely love that movie.
00:05:26
Speaker
I think that movie is fantastic.
00:05:27
Speaker
I've heard the same.
00:05:28
Speaker
I haven't had a chance to watch it myself yet and not because I have anything against it.
00:05:32
Speaker
But I my wife and my oldest daughter went to see it at the same time that my twins and I went to see Spider-Man across the Spider-Verse, which was a movie I was actually very excited about.
00:05:41
Speaker
So it wasn't that I didn't want to see it.
00:05:42
Speaker
I just haven't really had the occasion to it.
00:05:45
Speaker
It only comes out when the movie actually isn't any good.
00:05:50
Speaker
And, and that's, that's not equality.
00:05:53
Speaker
Equality is being able to analyze a piece of art for its own merit, regardless of who made it or what any specifications are.
00:06:02
Speaker
And, and that's what we're going to do, Matt.
00:06:04
Speaker
We're going to, we're going to evaluate this piece of art for its own merit of what it is successful at, what it is not successful at.
00:06:13
Speaker
And we will, we will analyze, we will analyze this.
00:06:15
Speaker
So we, we picked this, this was on the calendar.
00:06:19
Speaker
I looked up where it was streaming and certainly I'd heard a lot about this, but I was committed to coming into this project with an open mind.
00:06:28
Speaker
I wanted to just see this for what it was, give it my honest opinion.
00:06:35
Speaker
I didn't want to have preconceived ideas coming into it, regardless of everything I'd heard about it.
00:06:39
Speaker
But I always am skeptical anytime I look for something that's streaming and it's on a free streaming service.
00:06:45
Speaker
So this is on free V right now.
00:06:47
Speaker
You don't have to pay anything for it.
00:06:50
Speaker
I'm just, yeah, there's some good stuff that you can find on like to be in some of those, but mostly, mostly if a movie is worth watching, it's not, it's behind a paywall.

First Impressions and Comparisons

00:07:01
Speaker
In most cases, they're not usually putting top notch stuff.
00:07:04
Speaker
Now that being said, John wick, I think was, was it on to be or was it on another one?
00:07:10
Speaker
Yeah.
00:07:10
Speaker
So like that already is kind of throwing some of my point out.
00:07:15
Speaker
There's a couple of bangers here and there, but I was already skeptical.
00:07:18
Speaker
13 minutes into the movie and I already can't stand any of these characters.
00:07:23
Speaker
I had not laughed once or even smiled.
00:07:28
Speaker
27 minutes in was when the first time I laughed.
00:07:30
Speaker
And it's the scene where they're looking at the firehouse and the realtor says 21,000 a month.
00:07:37
Speaker
And she immediately turns to her and says, burn in hell.
00:07:40
Speaker
And that was a legitimately funny part of this movie.
00:07:43
Speaker
It was the first time I laughed.
00:07:46
Speaker
It might have been the last time I laughed.
00:07:49
Speaker
I couldn't help but compare this to another extremely terrible movie that you forced me to watch because you're a bad friend.
00:07:58
Speaker
Last summer, I think it was, we watched the Super Mario Brothers movie.
00:08:03
Speaker
And I remember making the comment that you can kind of like recognize the structure of a script where like a joke is supposed to be like this is a setup or something that is supposed to be funny, but it's just not.
00:08:17
Speaker
And there were many times in this movie I was so confused by by what was happening.
00:08:22
Speaker
I didn't even necessarily recognize the setup to something that was supposed to be funny.
00:08:27
Speaker
Like it was it was so not funny.
00:08:29
Speaker
They didn't even set it up as something that was supposed to be funny.
00:08:33
Speaker
Yeah, no, and that's, you know, that is one of many problems with this movie.
00:08:38
Speaker
But, you know, this movie, to me, suffers from the one common trope.
00:08:49
Speaker
In all bad movies.
00:08:52
Speaker
Is that they want you to pay attention so much.
00:08:57
Speaker
Because they're using all of these words to describe everything that's going on.
00:09:05
Speaker
But everything that happens in the movie.
00:09:07
Speaker
Even when they are trying to set something up as a joke.
00:09:10
Speaker
Or this is supposed to be like, oh, this is funny.
00:09:14
Speaker
Because of the fact that nothing else is really going on or they make it a point to focus on it, it stops you and it forces you to go, okay, what's actually going on here?

Plot and Character Inconsistencies

00:09:30
Speaker
And this might sound silly, but it's the simple fact that they think the wonton bit in this movie is funny.
00:09:39
Speaker
They think that's hysterical.
00:09:41
Speaker
It's not.
00:09:42
Speaker
And it's not.
00:09:43
Speaker
And it's not for the simple fact of, again, I know movies are fake.
00:09:49
Speaker
Unless, oh, they're based off a true story.
00:09:51
Speaker
And even then, there's creative liberties with those movies.
00:09:58
Speaker
You know, you still get some extra things in there.
00:10:00
Speaker
But when you're forced to stop and think about these things, number one...
00:10:06
Speaker
Like, a place like that would not be in business.
00:10:09
Speaker
So it's not funny.
00:10:10
Speaker
It's only funny when you're saying, okay, I could believe that happening.
00:10:16
Speaker
Like, you're not consistently showing up somewhere and giving them...
00:10:22
Speaker
No wontons and wonton soup or something that would be a health violation.
00:10:27
Speaker
Right.
00:10:28
Speaker
Because so that's the same problem I have with Chris Hemsworth character.
00:10:32
Speaker
They referred him as the himbo throughout this.
00:10:35
Speaker
That guy would be an assisted living.
00:10:36
Speaker
His like that man, that character is not well like he would not.
00:10:42
Speaker
And I am not.
00:10:43
Speaker
He can't survive on his own.
00:10:44
Speaker
No, I'm not shaming here.
00:10:46
Speaker
It's just the way that his character is presented.
00:10:49
Speaker
His parents would have put, he would have a caretaker.
00:10:54
Speaker
He wouldn't be out looking for work.
00:10:56
Speaker
He'd be collecting SSI.
00:10:57
Speaker
And in New York City, that guy on the street would be beat up.
00:11:05
Speaker
Like that guy traveling on his own at night or walking like with his mental disability that he clearly has in this movie.
00:11:16
Speaker
That guy would be dead in the city.
00:11:18
Speaker
I hate every single scene with him in it.
00:11:20
Speaker
He is, his character is so bad.
00:11:22
Speaker
It's literally like Jar Jar Binks level of hatred that I have for his character because it's so unrealistic.
00:11:29
Speaker
It doesn't make any sense that this character could survive or exist.
00:11:32
Speaker
It's, it's also, it's, it's,
00:11:39
Speaker
you're pointing out your, is it supposed to be funny?
00:11:44
Speaker
Cause again, I said this about wonder woman 84 with that situation that the movie takes, you know, with one of the situations that happens in that movie is roles reversed.
00:11:58
Speaker
Everybody would be up in arms that a female secretary character was produced in that light.

Cameos and Homage to Originals

00:12:06
Speaker
Yeah.
00:12:07
Speaker
And it's not like in the original Ghostbusters.
00:12:12
Speaker
They didn't present her like that.
00:12:16
Speaker
She wasn't there to be, you know, comedy entertainment or like a sexual object.
00:12:23
Speaker
She really wasn't.
00:12:25
Speaker
Like, yeah, she or demeaned for her lack of intelligence.
00:12:28
Speaker
Right.
00:12:28
Speaker
Or demeaned like she wasn't at all.
00:12:31
Speaker
But the same thing that even like Leslie Jones talked about when like people didn't like this movie is something that you put in the movie like you sat there and.
00:12:43
Speaker
You continually like, I believe in this movie, they actually say like, he's dumb.
00:12:48
Speaker
Like the, the, the characters openly talk about how he's dumb and they're like, Oh, it's a good thing that you're good looking.
00:12:56
Speaker
Like, so stop for a second and imagine that it's not,
00:13:01
Speaker
you know, traditionally handsome Chris Hemsworth playing this character.
00:13:04
Speaker
Imagine it's like Jonah Hill pre glow up.
00:13:08
Speaker
Imagine it's like the fat version of Jonah Hill with like the big, like curly Afro looking kind of look.
00:13:14
Speaker
Imagine it's him.
00:13:15
Speaker
It feels like Chris.
00:13:19
Speaker
It feels incredibly cruel.
00:13:20
Speaker
You would never put that scene in a movie.
00:13:25
Speaker
When he first comes in and Aaron is introducing herself to him, this scene is so terrible.
00:13:31
Speaker
It's so bad.
00:13:32
Speaker
Then they have the scene where he's talking about my cat is Mike hat.
00:13:36
Speaker
That's supposed to be a joke.
00:13:38
Speaker
That scene is supposed to be funny.
00:13:40
Speaker
What the hell is this?
00:13:42
Speaker
It is unspeakably terrible.
00:13:44
Speaker
There's nothing...
00:13:46
Speaker
Remotely redeeming about that scene.
00:13:49
Speaker
No.
00:13:49
Speaker
And you know, I'll, I'll say you, you said about 27 minutes in is when you got your first laugh.
00:13:57
Speaker
Um, yeah, I actually stopped it and looked at the timestamp.
00:14:00
Speaker
I needed to know.

Character Development and Humor Issues

00:14:01
Speaker
I might've gotten mine a little bit sooner because I did actually think, um, when they first, which, Oh God, like it forces me to talk about, um,
00:14:15
Speaker
It forces me to talk about this part of it, too.
00:14:18
Speaker
But when Kristen Wiig's character, Aaron Gilbert, goes to talk to Abby, who is Melissa McCarthy's character, about the book being for sale on Amazon, which I'm sorry...
00:14:32
Speaker
She didn't just put this book up for sale.
00:14:35
Speaker
She hasn't.
00:14:36
Speaker
There's no way that this book just recently went up.
00:14:39
Speaker
And there's no way that this school just found out about this or that she just found out about this.
00:14:46
Speaker
Like you're up for tenure.
00:14:47
Speaker
That doesn't happen after.
00:14:51
Speaker
Six months in a college.
00:14:54
Speaker
Right.
00:14:55
Speaker
Am I wrong?
00:14:56
Speaker
The whole intro.
00:14:57
Speaker
Yeah.
00:14:58
Speaker
It's just, it's, when you stop and ask the question, why is this happening?
00:15:02
Speaker
Does this make sense?
00:15:03
Speaker
The answer is no.
00:15:05
Speaker
No, even the, and like you said, the intro, the intro doesn't make sense because why is that character still alive?
00:15:16
Speaker
Because it looks like he gets attacked by the ghost and then he's just like, he's fine.
00:15:21
Speaker
Unless I'm forgetting something about the movie, he's not possessed.
00:15:25
Speaker
He has nothing to do further with the movie after they walk into that house.
00:15:31
Speaker
Am I wrong?
00:15:31
Speaker
Did he show up again?
00:15:32
Speaker
Yeah, the tour guide.
00:15:35
Speaker
Yeah, he shows up a couple of times.
00:15:38
Speaker
When?
00:15:39
Speaker
I must have missed him.
00:15:39
Speaker
This is how I must have.
00:15:42
Speaker
Was he possessed at all, though?
00:15:46
Speaker
I don't think so.
00:15:48
Speaker
I don't think so, but that's what I mean.
00:15:50
Speaker
Like, I don't think he's possessed by a ghost.
00:15:52
Speaker
So like, why does he go back to the house?
00:15:55
Speaker
Why does he like the way that they open that movie with him getting attacked and screaming?
00:16:01
Speaker
It's like, okay, that maybe this is a little different.
00:16:04
Speaker
They're going like, okay, like, damn, like these ghosts are not kidding around.
00:16:10
Speaker
Um,
00:16:11
Speaker
But then he just seems to be kind of fine.
00:16:14
Speaker
And then, you know, there's a joke.
00:16:16
Speaker
He's been dead for 30 years.
00:16:17
Speaker
Well, then who's this?
00:16:19
Speaker
Oh, well, that's, you know, John Marks Jr. Like, oh, that's not funny.
00:16:26
Speaker
It's not.
00:16:27
Speaker
You know who they were freaking talking about.
00:16:30
Speaker
You know who they were talking about.
00:16:32
Speaker
This movie only makes sense if you believe it exists in a world parallel to ours where the rules are different, where things just operate differently.
00:16:42
Speaker
Right.
00:16:42
Speaker
And it almost actually makes sense as like a multiverse kind of saga because we have cameos from the original cast.
00:16:52
Speaker
And, you know, who exist as other people in this world.
00:16:55
Speaker
So clearly this version of the world just works differently where jokes are, are different.
00:17:01
Speaker
The humor works differently.
00:17:02
Speaker
Reality works differently.
00:17:05
Speaker
I mentioned, you know, there was, there's some throwbacks to the, the origin series with the first one we really get is the spray painted throwback logo.
00:17:14
Speaker
And, and it's kind of set up to be like kind of a big deal that they show you the logo and,
00:17:19
Speaker
Shortly after that, there's a Bill Murray cameo.
00:17:23
Speaker
Pretty much all the major cast have a cameo at some point in this movie.
00:17:28
Speaker
And honestly, like...
00:17:30
Speaker
I appreciate that the original cast wanted to kind of do that as a passing of the torch or something like that.
00:17:36
Speaker
See it however you want to see it.
00:17:38
Speaker
You know, they did what they could to try to give this movie a shot.
00:17:42
Speaker
But all it really did for me, and I don't know if this was like this for you, but all it really did for me was just remind me that I'm not watching
00:17:49
Speaker
either of those original movies that were actually really good.
00:17:52
Speaker
And that it just reminded me that I would much be, I would much rather be watching those movies and I would laugh more and be much happier if I was watching those movies instead of this one.
00:18:02
Speaker
Every time they came on, I was just like, oh, that's sad that you got dragged into this mess.
00:18:06
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:07
Speaker
And, you know, the funny thing is, too, and it's like, I just kind of laugh because I'm watching this movie and I don't know if you know this, if you noticed it, because maybe you weren't paying attention that hard.
00:18:18
Speaker
But did you notice that when they're in the subway?
00:18:23
Speaker
And they're like, excuse me, sir.
00:18:24
Speaker
Did you see any ghosts around here?
00:18:26
Speaker
He's like, oh, you know what?
00:18:27
Speaker
It looked.
00:18:28
Speaker
Don't let him.
00:18:28
Speaker
Don't let him spray paint on the wall.
00:18:30
Speaker
Don't do that, sir.
00:18:31
Speaker
You know, again, that's supposed to be funny.
00:18:33
Speaker
Yeah, it's supposed to be funny.
00:18:34
Speaker
And it's just stupid.
00:18:36
Speaker
But did you notice he never, ever, ever, ever changes his can of spray paint?
00:18:45
Speaker
So how does he make the ghost and the red X through it?
00:18:51
Speaker
Hmm.
00:18:52
Speaker
He never changes his can of spray paint.
00:18:54
Speaker
You always can see his arm spraying.
00:18:57
Speaker
He never changes the can ever.
00:19:00
Speaker
It's the multiverse.
00:19:01
Speaker
And he started that logo from the beginning.
00:19:05
Speaker
Yeah, he never he like they don't even care about that.
00:19:09
Speaker
Like they can't eat like it's it's stupid little things like that that really one tick me off.
00:19:18
Speaker
But two.
00:19:20
Speaker
It's.
00:19:24
Speaker
if there is anything, I will say that maybe the star of this movie, as much as I think she's, I think maybe Kate McKinnon is the star of this movie.
00:19:38
Speaker
I think her character's just kind of quirky enough to kind of work.
00:19:43
Speaker
And there's some things that she does where I'm like, okay, you know, that's fine.
00:19:48
Speaker
But again, it's the,
00:19:53
Speaker
It's everything that she talks about is just an excuse for someone to be loud and repeat what she just said because they're like, oh, my God, it's crazy

Viewing Experience and Script Problems

00:20:04
Speaker
that you would do that.
00:20:04
Speaker
Why would you put nuclear reactors on top of the car?
00:20:07
Speaker
Like she just she's a whole exposition dump for people to get loud because they think it's funny being loud, reacting to what she said.
00:20:18
Speaker
I would say of the four of them, she's the character that I find the most interesting and probably works the best out of the four of them.
00:20:26
Speaker
And that's, and that's probably being generous to say that any of them work well.
00:20:30
Speaker
Um, I think there was some ideas that had they been explored differently, could have made that character work really well.
00:20:38
Speaker
There was, there was things there, um,
00:20:42
Speaker
that I just don't think made it all the way out.
00:20:44
Speaker
And what, what kind of occurs to me is that this movie is what happens when you make an entire finished film out of deleted scenes that weren't good enough to make the actual film.
00:20:57
Speaker
Like if you took all the good scenes out and replace them with just the ones like, oh, you know what?
00:21:02
Speaker
On paper, I thought this would work.
00:21:03
Speaker
Or the day we shot it, we must have just been in a weird mood that we thought this would be okay.
00:21:08
Speaker
And it just didn't work out.
00:21:09
Speaker
So you just, you know, the stuff you cut out of the movie, if you took all of that and made a movie out of it, this is kind of what happens because there's not really...
00:21:17
Speaker
stuff that works.
00:21:18
Speaker
It's all the stuff that you would have cut to keep the better stuff.
00:21:22
Speaker
This is kind of like the justice league compared to the Snyder cut.
00:21:26
Speaker
Like you, you left all that behind and use this to make your movie and called this a finished product.
00:21:32
Speaker
Like that's, that was kind of what I got like three quarters of the way into this movie.
00:21:39
Speaker
I had this epiphany.
00:21:40
Speaker
And when I say three quarters of the way into this movie, I'm,
00:21:43
Speaker
I actually had to do two sittings of this because about an hour in, I really felt compelled to just turn this off and go do something else because I was like, I was not enjoying myself that much that I literally...
00:22:00
Speaker
Pause the movie.
00:22:02
Speaker
I got up from where I was sitting.
00:22:03
Speaker
I went to the kitchen.
00:22:04
Speaker
I poured a drink.
00:22:06
Speaker
I did a couple other things.
00:22:07
Speaker
I scrolled social media.
00:22:08
Speaker
I laughed at a couple of things I saw.
00:22:11
Speaker
And then I worked up the courage to turn this movie back on like that.
00:22:15
Speaker
I Matt, I can't remember something we've reviewed.
00:22:19
Speaker
that I've not been able to finish in one sitting for anything other than time reasons, like just if I'm busy or whatever.
00:22:26
Speaker
But I literally was like, this is so bad.
00:22:29
Speaker
I have to take a break from this.
00:22:31
Speaker
And again, we've, you know, I've forced you to watch some pretty bad things.
00:22:37
Speaker
Yeah.
00:22:37
Speaker
But again, it's because this, the problem is, again, it's one of those things when like,
00:22:44
Speaker
And maybe this sounds terrible, but when you're embarrassed for somebody, but they don't know that they should be embarrassed because of their behavior.
00:22:53
Speaker
Yeah.
00:22:54
Speaker
Like, that's what this movie feels like, because again, I,
00:22:59
Speaker
I'm sure there's a lot of great intention in this movie.
00:23:02
Speaker
And again, I've Leslie Jones.
00:23:04
Speaker
I don't really know of too much else with her in, but I like Kristen Wiig.
00:23:10
Speaker
I thought she was great in Bridesmaids.
00:23:12
Speaker
I like Melissa McCarthy.
00:23:13
Speaker
I like Chris Hemsworth, Kate McKinnon.
00:23:16
Speaker
Yes, I've seen her do good things like I have.
00:23:24
Speaker
But this is just, you know, all of them together.
00:23:29
Speaker
They don't have a ton of chemistry.
00:23:32
Speaker
There's not a lot going.
00:23:34
Speaker
I didn't find the story all that particularly interesting.
00:23:36
Speaker
Now, what I will say is I'll get just get this point out of the way because it was what I was trying to make about the opening is when Aaron goes to visit Abby and like take the book down.

Visuals and New Ideas

00:23:48
Speaker
And she's like, if you go to this house with us, like I'll take the book, like I'll take the book down or whatever.
00:23:56
Speaker
It's already out there.
00:23:57
Speaker
People will find out about it.
00:23:59
Speaker
Right.
00:24:00
Speaker
But I did actually get a pretty good laugh because I thought that part was actually acted really well.
00:24:07
Speaker
It felt supernatural when she was like, come on, let's go.
00:24:10
Speaker
And she's like, I'm not going with you.
00:24:11
Speaker
She's like, oh, my God, you weren't invited.
00:24:13
Speaker
I just need you to close the door.
00:24:15
Speaker
Like, I just need you to get out so I can close the door.
00:24:17
Speaker
I actually kind of laughed at that.
00:24:19
Speaker
I thought Melissa McCarthy's timing on that.
00:24:23
Speaker
was perfect.
00:24:24
Speaker
Like I thought they, they allowed that to actually work pretty well.
00:24:28
Speaker
Um, so I did get a really good, I did get a really good chuckle out of that scene.
00:24:33
Speaker
So I get a laugh quicker than you did.
00:24:35
Speaker
Um, but if there's, if there's something I'm going to give this movie credit for that, I think maybe we'll agree on, um,
00:24:47
Speaker
maybe, is I do think, as opposed to Ghostbusters 2, and tip my hand a little bit, even Afterlife, I think this did a good job
00:24:59
Speaker
Of introducing some new things.
00:25:02
Speaker
I thought some of the weapons that they introduced were actually cool ideas.
00:25:07
Speaker
And in another movie, that would have been cooler.
00:25:10
Speaker
I do think their bombs and everything.
00:25:14
Speaker
I think those are cool.
00:25:15
Speaker
I like how they expanded the ghost.
00:25:20
Speaker
I do like the color palette for the most part.
00:25:23
Speaker
I think this movie's.
00:25:25
Speaker
Kind of well shot.
00:25:27
Speaker
Towards the end.
00:25:28
Speaker
There is some really.
00:25:29
Speaker
Really hideous.
00:25:31
Speaker
Green screen work.
00:25:33
Speaker
Where you can tell they're standing against a computer background.
00:25:37
Speaker
Um.
00:25:38
Speaker
And it's not even close.
00:25:39
Speaker
There are some horrible shots at the end.
00:25:42
Speaker
I don't think this is a I don't think this is a badly filmed movie.
00:25:45
Speaker
I think there's some pretty good shots in here.
00:25:48
Speaker
And I do appreciate the new additions to Ghostbusting Weapons that this movie came up with.
00:25:55
Speaker
I think they do a little bit better job than the other movies of kind of expanding a little bit and adding some things.
00:26:02
Speaker
Overall, I do like the design of the proton packs and the ghost trap.
00:26:06
Speaker
Those are legitimately cool.
00:26:09
Speaker
I will also say that there are times where some of the VFX are clever and well done.
00:26:17
Speaker
Other times it looks awful.
00:26:20
Speaker
But there's, there's a couple of times where some of the special effects I thought were pretty effective and worked well.
00:26:27
Speaker
Um, again, there were some ideas here that could have worked if, if taken, if other decisions were made, I think there's, there's some things that could have been really fun about this.
00:26:43
Speaker
But in general, the characters are unlikable.
00:26:47
Speaker
The dialogue is really bad.
00:26:50
Speaker
I've got three different lines, Matt, that I wrote down verbatim, and I'd like to share them at this point.
00:26:56
Speaker
Yes.
00:26:58
Speaker
I can only think of soup.
00:27:00
Speaker
That was a real line from this that was supposed to be funny, and it's terrible.
00:27:06
Speaker
In the climax, there is a line that
00:27:10
Speaker
that Melissa McCarthy's character, Abby, says, I lost my glasses.
00:27:15
Speaker
Oh, wait, they're in my hand.
00:27:19
Speaker
I'm going to read that again.
00:27:20
Speaker
I lost my glasses.
00:27:22
Speaker
Oh, wait, they're in my hand.
00:27:24
Speaker
This is a real piece of dialogue from the climax of this movie.
00:27:30
Speaker
That was something that a screenwriter wrote
00:27:33
Speaker
handed it to a director who said, yup, who handed that to an actor who repeated it on screen.
00:27:39
Speaker
Professionals filmed it.
00:27:42
Speaker
Editors looked at it and said, yup, keep that in.
00:27:46
Speaker
Yeah.
00:27:47
Speaker
Another line.
00:27:48
Speaker
Come get your virginity out of the lost and found.
00:27:51
Speaker
What does that even mean?
00:27:54
Speaker
What does that mean?
00:27:55
Speaker
Yeah.
00:27:57
Speaker
It's supposed to be a sick burn.
00:27:59
Speaker
It's going to be like a girl burn, you know, like the girl says it to a guy to make fun of him.
00:28:04
Speaker
And it's supposed to be like a girl burn.
00:28:06
Speaker
What does that mean?
00:28:07
Speaker
Yeah, because wouldn't that be a double negative, though?
00:28:10
Speaker
Because if you lost your virginity and it's in the lost and found, the burn is supposed to be that you're still a virgin.
00:28:18
Speaker
But if you lost it, that means you're not a virgin anymore.
00:28:21
Speaker
Right.
00:28:21
Speaker
Yeah.
00:28:22
Speaker
You've had the coitus.
00:28:24
Speaker
So are they saying like, so are they shaming the person and saying they should still

Villain and Narrative Flaws

00:28:30
Speaker
be a virgin?
00:28:30
Speaker
So come get it so you can put it back in your body?
00:28:36
Speaker
That's my point.
00:28:37
Speaker
And that's where for people who want to say, oh, well, you're just a bunch of men sitting in your basements, you know, talking about, you know, being misogynist, talking about a girl movie can't be good.
00:28:47
Speaker
Like, no, like I wanted this movie to be good.
00:28:52
Speaker
These are legitimate reasons why I think and you also think.
00:28:58
Speaker
that it is a failure on almost every single level.
00:29:02
Speaker
This movie is so bad that I could use it as punishment for when my kids misbehave.
00:29:08
Speaker
Like most kids that are growing up in our modern 21st century, they love their gadgets, they love their electronics, they love TV, their tablets, their iPhones, and something like that.
00:29:16
Speaker
And it's very common for parents of our generation to use taking those objects away from them as punishment, much in the same way that
00:29:24
Speaker
that my parents took away my brother and my Nintendo privileges when we misbehaved or whatever.
00:29:30
Speaker
I could actually say, all right, kids, you lose all of your privileges.
00:29:34
Speaker
You can't watch any TV.
00:29:35
Speaker
You can't play any video games.
00:29:36
Speaker
The only thing you're allowed to watch is this movie.
00:29:39
Speaker
I could actually use this as punishment on them because it is that bad.
00:29:43
Speaker
Yeah.
00:29:44
Speaker
Like there really is.
00:29:50
Speaker
Again, the other thing, the main one of the other things, the main villain, this guy, again, I know, but.
00:30:02
Speaker
There is no way that you've been going this long.
00:30:07
Speaker
Collecting all of this stuff, getting prepared for this.
00:30:11
Speaker
Because you know the way that this guy is... When we're introduced and this guy is talking the way that he is... Oh, when the fourth cataclysm comes, you'll be one of the last to go or you'll last the longest.
00:30:30
Speaker
He's been talking to people like that forever.
00:30:34
Speaker
His name is Rowan North in the movie.
00:30:37
Speaker
Neil Casey is the actor.
00:30:40
Speaker
This guy would be somebody would report this guy for suspicious behavior somewhere.
00:30:45
Speaker
He'd be freaking locked up.
00:30:48
Speaker
Yeah, he'd be locked up like these things just don't make sense.
00:30:55
Speaker
That's the problem.
00:30:56
Speaker
And again, one of the things about.
00:31:01
Speaker
Ghostbusters was.
00:31:05
Speaker
Okay, it's about freaking ghosts.
00:31:07
Speaker
I get it.
00:31:07
Speaker
Regardless if you believe in it or not.
00:31:10
Speaker
I'm sure some people who are listening to this believe in ghosts.
00:31:13
Speaker
Great.
00:31:14
Speaker
I'm not here to talk about that either way.
00:31:17
Speaker
But at least the first Ghostbusters and even the second one a little bit.
00:31:21
Speaker
I think the second one's more just kind of, eh, I enjoy the cast, so whatever.
00:31:28
Speaker
It felt at least believable in that world that you're watching.
00:31:33
Speaker
They believed it.
00:31:33
Speaker
We believe that they believe.
00:31:35
Speaker
Right.
00:31:36
Speaker
These these characters, again, are characters in this universe.
00:31:43
Speaker
This isn't real.
00:31:45
Speaker
People would not be able.
00:31:47
Speaker
And yes, maybe for a minute, but the amount of these kind of people would not be able to act like this in real life without being behind bars or locked in an insane asylum.
00:31:59
Speaker
Yeah, they'd have a caseworker assigned to them.
00:32:02
Speaker
Kevin's character would not be able to get this kind of job.
00:32:07
Speaker
He would have somebody with him 24-7.
00:32:10
Speaker
He doesn't even know what a phone is.
00:32:13
Speaker
Oh, I can't, boss.
00:32:14
Speaker
Phone's in the fish tank.
00:32:17
Speaker
That's a real line, yes.
00:32:18
Speaker
Like, no, the one in front of you.
00:32:20
Speaker
Oh, okay.
00:32:22
Speaker
And that's supposed to be passed off as humor, by the way.
00:32:24
Speaker
Yeah, it's...
00:32:26
Speaker
Like you being unable to perform basic life functions is supposed to be funny.
00:32:32
Speaker
Like we're supposed to, you know, we're supposed to laugh at somebody.
00:32:38
Speaker
And this is where I'm like, you guys are missing the mark and you're being incredibly hypocritical here because we're supposed to laugh at somebody who in all intents purposes.
00:32:48
Speaker
And again, I'm not saying this is shaming.
00:32:51
Speaker
We're supposed to be laughing at a character that is mentally challenged.
00:32:55
Speaker
We're supposed to be laughing at him.
00:32:58
Speaker
Yeah.
00:33:00
Speaker
Which is not funny.
00:33:01
Speaker
Like, but that's what you want us to do.
00:33:04
Speaker
You want us to laugh at somebody that's mentally challenged.
00:33:07
Speaker
But in the real world, if somebody did that, you would call them out on that crap and say, what is your problem?
00:33:15
Speaker
You're a horrible human being.
00:33:17
Speaker
Yeah, so for all of the criticism you'll get as a misogynist, that's actually ableist humor.
00:33:23
Speaker
You know, that's what they call it.
00:33:26
Speaker
Making fun of somebody's disabilities.
00:33:28
Speaker
Yeah, and I just... I don't get it.
00:33:31
Speaker
The big ending with a cop dance-off is just... The ending... And again, you don't feel anything.
00:33:42
Speaker
And

Climactic Failures and Editing Issues

00:33:43
Speaker
you know what?
00:33:43
Speaker
Listen, if you're...
00:33:46
Speaker
listening to this right now, and you like this movie, I will again, will always say, I am happy for you.
00:33:57
Speaker
I'm happy for you.
00:33:59
Speaker
I'm glad that you enjoyed this movie.
00:34:01
Speaker
I really am.
00:34:03
Speaker
But the ending, I don't care that Abby and Aaron, oh, I jumped in the portal for you, which again, makes no sense that she was actually able to save her.
00:34:13
Speaker
None.
00:34:14
Speaker
There's no way that would have happened.
00:34:17
Speaker
Like what?
00:34:18
Speaker
Like, not that she wouldn't have jumped in for.
00:34:20
Speaker
She wouldn't have gotten to her in time.
00:34:22
Speaker
And you can tell she wouldn't have pulled her out in time.
00:34:24
Speaker
They would have actually both been stuck.
00:34:28
Speaker
And there's no way the other girls would have grabbed that rope and pulled them back in.
00:34:32
Speaker
The cut between those two scenes is horrendous.
00:34:37
Speaker
But it's just a bad ending.
00:34:39
Speaker
You know, it's it's typical around this time.
00:34:42
Speaker
Everything had to have the sky portal.
00:34:44
Speaker
Absolutely everything.
00:34:46
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:34:47
Speaker
Another Sky Portal ending.
00:34:49
Speaker
But I just don't feel anything like, oh, you came back for me.
00:34:55
Speaker
And it's like, I didn't feel that was earned.
00:34:57
Speaker
No, I didn't feel it was earned either.
00:35:00
Speaker
I just I don't feel like this is.
00:35:05
Speaker
I don't know.
00:35:06
Speaker
I don't feel like this was a team.
00:35:08
Speaker
The ending is very distracting because, again, that's where some of the worst shots in the movie are.
00:35:13
Speaker
And you're like, whoa, like your eyes get taken out of it because the shots are so bad.
00:35:20
Speaker
So you can't really focus.
00:35:23
Speaker
And then it's it's poorly edited at the end.
00:35:26
Speaker
Like, it's really weird, like almost like.
00:35:29
Speaker
the ending was cut together.
00:35:31
Speaker
Like I almost believe your theory on this is a whole bunch of random scenes that they just chopped together for like, I would believe that at the ending, because the way that the ending is edited is really bad compared to the rest of the movie.
00:35:46
Speaker
There's a lot of establishing shots that don't seem to connect to the next scene.
00:35:51
Speaker
And where the characters are in relation to each other or what was previously happening.
00:35:56
Speaker
There's a lot of that in this last like 25 minutes.
00:36:00
Speaker
You know what they do have towards the end of this that does link it to the first two Ghostbusters films is once again, all the all government officials are denying the existence of ghosts in this movie, despite the fact that.
00:36:13
Speaker
potentially millions of people have seen otherwise.
00:36:16
Speaker
Yeah.
00:36:17
Speaker
It's just like, Oh God, the worst part of the first two movies, they, they kept here too.
00:36:23
Speaker
Um, and then, uh, did you realize, I don't know if you knew this, but that you, that you were able to stomach it long enough.
00:36:28
Speaker
Did you realize there was a post credit scene for this movie?
00:36:32
Speaker
What?
00:36:33
Speaker
There was a post-credit scene for this movie.
00:36:35
Speaker
Yeah.
00:36:36
Speaker
And in this post-credit scene, there was some of that recording that they'd had earlier.
00:36:42
Speaker
And Leslie Jones' character, Patty, is listening to it.
00:36:45
Speaker
And she says she hears the word Zool.
00:36:50
Speaker
And I just was like, I wanted to take the beverage canister that I had in my hand at the time and just throw it at my TV.
00:36:58
Speaker
And just, I wanted to just be like, get the hell out of here.
00:37:01
Speaker
Like, just stop.

Box Office and Critical Reception

00:37:03
Speaker
Like, just like, I wanted to roll up a newspaper and smack this movie on its hypothetical nose and just go, no, like, wow.
00:37:13
Speaker
Like stop already.
00:37:14
Speaker
Like you don't, you don't get to do that.
00:37:16
Speaker
Like they, but,
00:37:17
Speaker
you've had all these characters and cameos and, and other things and callbacks to the original.
00:37:24
Speaker
And it's just like, you're, you're a terrible movie.
00:37:28
Speaker
You don't get to try to like siphon off what we liked about the first one.
00:37:35
Speaker
You don't get to just absorb all of that into your movie and, and, and hope that we're going to care about this because your movie isn't good enough on its own to stand.
00:37:44
Speaker
Yeah, it is.
00:37:47
Speaker
You know, I mean, it was a critical box office failure.
00:37:55
Speaker
You know, and again, there's there's things that had happened, you know, where there was, you know, again, there was negativity and there was things that were.
00:38:08
Speaker
Thrown at some of these actresses, which is never OK.
00:38:13
Speaker
It's never OK to attack somebody like I am not attacking.
00:38:17
Speaker
you know, any of these people publicly.
00:38:20
Speaker
I do think it was ridiculous that Leslie Jones came out and said, this is why, like, you know, this is why the movie failed and this is why, you know, it didn't do good is because X happened.
00:38:33
Speaker
I mean, it still made $229 million.
00:38:34
Speaker
Like that's, you know,
00:38:39
Speaker
It's not our fault they spent $144 million on the budget.
00:38:43
Speaker
Like, that's not my fault.
00:38:45
Speaker
Like, so, but it just, it should never get to that point.
00:38:51
Speaker
So I do feel bad because, again, it's, I don't think anybody goes in
00:38:57
Speaker
Yeah, some people do, but they know that.
00:38:59
Speaker
But in a movie like this, I don't think somebody goes in trying to make a bad movie.
00:39:05
Speaker
I don't think we're at the point yet where at this point I am convinced Sony just doesn't care and they are making bad movies just to keep the Spider-Man license.
00:39:13
Speaker
Yeah.
00:39:15
Speaker
By the way, they've said that the reason Madam Web didn't do well is because of misogyny.
00:39:20
Speaker
Yes.
00:39:21
Speaker
We saw that coming a mile away.
00:39:23
Speaker
I already knew.
00:39:24
Speaker
Mile away.
00:39:26
Speaker
As soon as that movie was announced, I already knew it was going to bomb.
00:39:29
Speaker
And I already knew it was going to be blamed on misogyny as opposed to just it's just a bad movie.

Missed Opportunities for Originality

00:39:35
Speaker
Like did Morbius bomb and get bad reviews and is not well thought of because of misogyny?
00:39:40
Speaker
No, it's just a bad movie.
00:39:42
Speaker
Movies are allowed to be bad for no other reason than it wasn't well made.
00:39:46
Speaker
Yep.
00:39:49
Speaker
Yeah, it was.
00:39:52
Speaker
Yeah, this is just something that did not work.
00:39:58
Speaker
And I think it's, you know.
00:40:02
Speaker
It tried to be different while hanging too much.
00:40:09
Speaker
Onto the original.
00:40:11
Speaker
I think had it tried to be completely its own thing, I think this could have been better.
00:40:19
Speaker
So I want to give the movie a little bit of credit in that I'm glad they gave the four characters unique names and did not tie them in any direct way to the original four.
00:40:33
Speaker
because you could have easily just renamed them or gave or given them the same last names as the original four, which I think could have been tempting to do, but I I'm glad that they tried to make this stand on its own right out of the gate there, as opposed to just like a true, like redux of, of, you know, of the original.

Final Thoughts and Ratings

00:40:58
Speaker
Yeah.
00:40:59
Speaker
Um, I, I agree with that.
00:41:01
Speaker
So,
00:41:02
Speaker
You know, Rob, I don't have anything more besides just to give this a review.
00:41:07
Speaker
Do you have anything else that you had note-wise about this movie?
00:41:11
Speaker
I've said what I need to say about this so far.
00:41:13
Speaker
All right.
00:41:14
Speaker
We're going to grab popcorn, and we're going to go to popcorn time here.
00:41:17
Speaker
I'll just get this out of the way.
00:41:20
Speaker
This movie is...
00:41:25
Speaker
I will give it one.
00:41:27
Speaker
Um, I'm going to give it one out of five, uh, strictly because again, I think some of the gadgets are pretty clever.
00:41:38
Speaker
I liked them.
00:41:39
Speaker
I thought they had good designs and, you know, it was like, Oh, that's yeah, that's, that's pretty smart.
00:41:46
Speaker
Um,
00:41:47
Speaker
Again, I do enjoy, for the most part, Kate McKinnon's character.
00:41:54
Speaker
I think she's the highlight out of this, if you can pull one out of there.
00:41:59
Speaker
And I like the follow-up boy cover for Ghostbusters.
00:42:02
Speaker
Like, I like the song that they put in this.
00:42:06
Speaker
So you get a little bit of credit there, too.
00:42:10
Speaker
But overall, this just...
00:42:13
Speaker
It was not a good movie.
00:42:15
Speaker
It was probably actually worse than I remember it.
00:42:19
Speaker
I don't think I would have gave it a one upon my initial thought process.
00:42:23
Speaker
Maybe like a two, two and a half.
00:42:27
Speaker
But re-watching it, yeah, this just...
00:42:30
Speaker
The laughs that you're supposed to have are not funny because, again, the idea of comedy in this movie is for people to just yell and be loud.
00:42:42
Speaker
That's supposed to be funny because you're loud.
00:42:46
Speaker
And it just it didn't work for me.
00:42:50
Speaker
Yeah, you're being a little more generous than I am.
00:42:52
Speaker
I'm not prepared to go Mario Brothers Zero, which was the only time I think I've given something no buckets.
00:43:00
Speaker
I gave the mummy half a bucket, the Dark Universe one.
00:43:07
Speaker
And that's kind of where I'm at with this.
00:43:10
Speaker
There's...
00:43:11
Speaker
Not a lot.
00:43:12
Speaker
I mean, the things that were interesting are the things that it was, you know, the, the kernel of an idea that could have developed into something else.
00:43:20
Speaker
Just can't simply make up for the fact that this was hard for me to get through the jokes and the humor rely on you believing that everything, you know, about how people work is, is somehow different.
00:43:36
Speaker
Like it's,
00:43:37
Speaker
They're not funny.
00:43:39
Speaker
And I acknowledge that perhaps this movie isn't written for me.
00:43:45
Speaker
But at the same time, it doesn't work.
00:43:52
Speaker
If I'm giving my opinion, my review of this, it doesn't work for me.
00:43:56
Speaker
If it works for you, awesome.
00:43:57
Speaker
I'm glad you found something you enjoy.
00:43:59
Speaker
I'm happy for you.
00:43:59
Speaker
I won't try to talk you out of it.
00:44:01
Speaker
But for me, half a bucket.
00:44:04
Speaker
Yeah, nothing more to say.
00:44:07
Speaker
We will continue our reviews of the Ghostbusters movies with a Ghostbusters afterlife, which after the failure of this movie, because this essentially was supposed to be the launching point of them getting a sequel.
00:44:25
Speaker
And this was going to be the direction that Ghostbusters went in.

Upcoming Reviews and Listener Interaction

00:44:29
Speaker
It did not work.
00:44:30
Speaker
We ended up getting Ghostbusters Afterlife instead, which has led to Frozen Empire.
00:44:36
Speaker
So next we will be reviewing Afterlife and see what happens when the franchise goes back to its roots, so to speak.
00:44:47
Speaker
And looking forward to bringing that review to you and looking forward to bringing you some of our other reviews, such as the season finale of Halo and the
00:45:00
Speaker
You know, Ghostbusters Frozen Empire.
00:45:03
Speaker
Actually, Rob, it's kind of fun.
00:45:04
Speaker
We're going to be back with Harrison from the basement binge to help him review Planet of the Apes, which I'm really looking forward to.
00:45:12
Speaker
Well, the trilogy.
00:45:13
Speaker
I haven't seen all of those, so it's giving me a great excuse, as podcasting often does, to visit new films or revisit something that I've been looking for an excuse to check out.
00:45:24
Speaker
So I'm really looking forward to that, too.
00:45:27
Speaker
Yeah, that'll be a lot of fun.
00:45:29
