Advertise on podcast: Ghostbusters Interdimensional Crossrip

The Super Halloween is upon us! What's that? What is a Super Halloween? Why, it's when Halloween falls on the perfect day of the week for All Hallows Eve... a Friday! And just in time for Super Halloween is our seasonal seasoning for your trick-or-treating, the annual WGBI Spooktacular. So have fun, stay safe, and look out for one another. There are monsters on the loose.

This week on the podcast, we’re remembering Harris Yulin, recapping Ghostbusters Day 2025, and talking about a GBFans thread asking if Ghostbusters has gone into dormancy once again. First up, Troy and Chris pay a little tribute to Ghostbusters II’s Judge Stephen “The Hammer” Wexler, played by the incredible character actor Harris Yulin, who passed last week at the age of 87. Then in somewhat of a news segment, the boys recap all the things that were revealed at Ghostbusters Day 2025 including Jason Reitman, McKenna Grace, and Carrie Coon showing up to meet and greet the fans, glowing Hasbro offerings, Crocs, and the Ghostbusters Give Back initiative, a great way for fan franchises to see their good deeds marked by the official Ghost Corps headquarters. Then, in the second half of the show, we ask each other a question that seems to be taxing our favorite message board haunt: has Ghostbusters gone dormant again? And do kids these days even know what dormancy of an IP is? Yeah, we’re old. That comes up too. But doesn’t it always?

Happy Ghostbusters Day, everyone! Troy and Chris are back for a special surprise episode drop this week to catch up on all the things they haven’t chatted about the past few months including: their favorite Ghostbusters Day memories, Dark Horse Comics’ Dead Man’s Chest issue #1, The Real Ghostbusters: A Visual History coming in July (and written by one of your humble co-hosts), developments on the Netflix animated series and a whole lot more! And, while we recorded before all of this weekend’s festivities, hold onto your throwers because we’ll be back next week to recap everything that happened and was announced including how Ghostbusters fans can give back officially to their communities!

This week, we’re gathered around the table and an ungodly amount of delicious food to talk about all the things we haven’t over the last two months: Hasbro’s Haslab Ecto-1, Mondo’s Real Ghostbusters figures, Waxwork Records’ Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire vinyl soundtrack release, a Cleanin’ Up the Town book, and so much more! Once we’re done with all of those courses, we’ll get to the dessert that we saved for last: is Dan Akyroyd hanging up Ray Stantz’s skates? Chris and Troy don’t think so, but we’ll do our best to decrypt his encoded message!

It’s that time again, leaves are changing, festbiers are plentiful, Trader Joes is selling everything pumpkin spiced, and WGBI is on the air! Join us for the annual tradition to rival the greatest: WGBI is on the airwaves tonight with spooky sounds, classic songs, and a few more surprises to help you get this Halloween week done right!

This week on the show, we’re changing the world again - and this time it’s Ghostbusters II! What one thing would we change about the original 1989 film if we were given the opportunity? And how would that trickle down to things that happened in the future? Don’t worry, we have multiple answers this week to fuel the discussion. Also we’re talking about that weird “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire - The Spenglers” goof on Amazon and we’re playing your change the world voicemails!

Troy and Chris are back this week to talk about the current state of affairs - the whole world is in a state of flux: financially, politically, and technologically and the entertainment industry is feeling the effects. What does it mean for Ghostbusters? And also, is there an answer to all the people clamoring on message boards and social media for an announcement of the next Ghostbusters project and release date? Could those two things be related? Give us a listen to hear our thoughts!

Troy and Chris haven’t connected in a month, so you can be sure there’s a lot to catch up on - so that’s first on the agenda: Universal re-embracing Ghostbusters, Back in Town concluding its four issue run, and more. Then, in the second half of the show, a new exercise inspired by a GBFans thread: if the boys could change just ONE thing about the original Ghostbusters film, what would it be? Tune in to find out what they might tweak George Lucas style, then hit us up on the voicemail to let us know what small change you would make if ever given the chance!

Ghostbusters Day 2024 has come and passed and, while it was a subdued celebration on the marketing side of things, the love for the franchise has never been stronger. Join Troy and Chris as they talk about the celebratory events that took place on both coasts, why they think the marketing noise was on the quieter side, and what expectations we should all have for Ghostbusters Day moving forward. All that plus your voicemails and a few notable news items!

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is now available in your home on VOD, and all the bonus features to go with it! This week on the show, Chris and Troy chat about the deleted scenes, behind the scenes materials, commentary and more. Which deleted scenes would have aided in the final cut of the film? Which were better left on the cutting room floor? Some of our answers may surprise you!

This week on the show, we’re talking about Ghostbusters: Back in Town #2 from Dark Horse Comics, and then diving back into some more Ghostbusters cinematic universe loose ends talk from last week! But this time, we’re armed with a lengthy email from resident J.H. Tobin, Michael Tanaka! Things that he’d like to see explored, stories he thinks are worth telling, and a lot of discussion about where and why some of the extended storytelling could, should, and maybe isn’t happening at the moment. It’s a fun one, don’t miss it! (And we love you, Michael. Don’t change.)

This week on the show, now that we’re four canonical films in, we’re exploring the hidden corners and loose ends of the Ghostbusters storytelling that we’d like to see Ghost Corps explore. From Ray and Egon’s rift, to the time period between Ghostbusters II and that rift occurring and beyond, here are the untold stories that we feel are worthy of being told (and in some cases, the medium we think that they should be presented).

This week on the show, we’re talking about Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’s score by Dario Marianelli, lack of pop tracks, and then chatting a lot about how the lore and magic of the live-action Ghostbusters world is expanded by this film. First up, Troy and Chris walk through some of their favorite score cues and explore some of the new cues heard in the film. There’s a lot of new avenues explored and great ways of furthering Elmer Bernstein’s original music throughout. Then, the boys talk about Nadeem’s character in the film and what doors he opens moving forward, which then naturally turns to an existential discussion where we talk about what it means to become one with the fabric of the universe. Ready?

The Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire discussion continues this week, along with a little bit of chat about Dark Horse’s Back in Town Issue #1! First up, and right out of the gate, we continue with a little debate on Melody’s origins and discuss the recent Hollywood Reporter interview with Emily Alyn Lind that revealed quite a bit. Then we dive into Back in Town #1 and how it helps bridge that time period between Afterlife and Frozen Empire, plus some. All that and more, plus a few more of your voicemails — and we kept it under an hour! Can you believe it?

This week on the show, Troy and Chris dive into Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (and popcorn buckets… again). It’s a spoiler-filled discussion, so make sure to save this one until you’re absolutely ready. Some of the stand out moments, a couple nitpicks, and what the film sets up for the future are all in the cards. Stay tuned for some of your voicemail reactions too!
