The guys FINALLY take on one of the all time classics, Ghostbusters! They talk about how this movie was almost Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, how it was supposed to take place in the future and what actors could have been cast instead. They discuss a romance that was mostly cut from the film, why the role of Winston was shrunk and the film's odd tribute to John Belushi. The guys share their thoughts on the sequel and other subsequent Ghostbusters projects. Joe shares a sweet tribute to Harold Ramis that occurred at the location of the Ghostbusters station after he died. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCORD - https://discord.gg/a6UEWh9zft PODCAST - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/miscast-commentary/id1145697204 WEBSITE - http://www.miscastcommentary.com/ TWITTER - https://twitter.com/miscastpodcast TIK TOK - https://www.tiktok.com/@miscastcommentary FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/miscastcommentary TEEPUBLIC - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/miscast-commentary?ref_id=7636 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow Joe!
