Ashley & Matt review the new Sony comic book movie, Madame Web. We've looked into the future and predict that you will listen to this episode!

Remember the 2016 Ghostbusters remake? Me either. Fast forward to 2021 and we don't get another remake, but rather a full-on sequel with Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Think of it like The Force Awakens for the Ghostbusters universe. It's like a cover to a song you really love but something just doesn't feel right. Jason Furie and Adam Roth give their full review, discuss their theatre-going experiences, and make fun of kids for nearly an hour.

WHO YOU GONNA CALL???

The director of this new Ghostbusters movie, Jason Reitman is actually the son of Ivan Reitman who directed the first two Ghostbusters movies.  This time around, he has given us a direct sequel to the original 1984 classic.  

The action is now set in the Oklahoma country where the progeny of the late Dr. Egon Spangler has resettled in a country house and farm that he left them.  McKenna Grace stars as his granddaughter with Finn Wolfhard (of Stranger Things fame) as his grandson – Carrie Coon plays their mother and Paul Rudd plays a local teacher who befriends them as they all start to notice SPOOKY things around their house.  

And Grandpa Egon also apparently left them loads of cool Ghostbusters gear including that famous “Ecto 1” car.  Needless to say, we apparently have a new generation of Ghostbusters on the case – let’s see how this one compares to the previous films and if ‘Bustin still makes us feel good!' 😉 

Host: Geoff Gershon
Producer: Marlene Gershon

This week we are joined by the fabulous actor Celeste O’Connor to dissect Boots Riley’s new classic, Sorry to Bother You. Celeste and April discuss the risks that Tessa Thompson took by doing this particular movie, and how Celeste felt they were taking a similar risk in accepting the role of Nyla in Freaky. Celeste also covers larger topics like expanding beyond stereotypical Black representation in film, and how they are so tired of being offered “slave roles.” Celeste elaborates on this point and has a lot to say about telling stories about Black people that don’t just cover their own personal trauma. Plus, Celeste talks about their time making Freaky, hitting (and hurting) another actor in the head with a prop frying pan, and the joy of working with Vince Vaughn.
