    Episode 80: My Girl (1991) // He can't see without his glasses!

    Episode 80: My Girl (1991) // He can't see without his glasses!

    Talk about a downer of a movie.  We all know the ending but this movie is so much more than that.  This coming of age film explores the trials and tribulations of a girl named Vada (Anna Chlumsky) who has to grow up pretty much on her own.  Flanked by her good friend Thomas J (Macaulay Culkin).  She tries to navigate pre-pubescence while being stuck in her Dad's (Dan Aykroyd) funeral parlor. Yikes!  Watch as bees get a bad rap while we go over this somber but touching picture.  Plus much more!

    2nd Chance Month: Dragnet (1987) / Top Tom Hanks Stuff Draft

    2nd Chance Month: Dragnet (1987) / Top Tom Hanks Stuff Draft

    Pete's choice for a second chance is the Tom Hanks / Dan Aykroyd Dragnet reboot from 1987. While not well-received critically, we still love this movie which also stars Oscar winner Christopher Plummer and a host of PAGANs. We give you just the facts on this 80s classic.

    Hanks is in his prime comedic form at this time, and the goofy/funny Hanks is still our favorite Tom Hanks. So we also draft our favorite Tom Hanks appearances to finish this one off. It's mostly movies, but anything goes. If Tom Hanks was involved, then it's fair game. Listen to hear the results!

    #005 - Ghostbusters
    Über diesem Herzensprojekt von Dan Akroyd könnte auch in großen Neon-Lettern der Zusatz "featuring Saturday Night Live" stehen. Wer sich den Cast dieses Blockbusters anschaut, versteht sehr schnell warum. Akroyd hatte Einfluss auf sehr viele Aspekte, unter anderem auch bei dem Entwurf des Logos, welches weltberühmt wurde. Ghostbusters zählt auch heute noch zu den erfolgreichsten Filmen aller Zeiten und es gibt wohl kaum jemanden, der zumindest Slimer nicht kennt. Als einer der Filme, die uns in unserer Jugend fasziniert haben, möchten wir diese Folge von Tales of Us dem Original Ghostbuster-Film von 1984 widmen. Ghostbusters wurde später allerdings auch zu einem extrem erfolgreichen Franchise, welches wir möglicherweise dann später noch einmal als "Ganzes" in einer eigenen Folge beleuchten möchten. Viel Spaß beim Hören von Tales of Us, Episode Fünf.

    Folgende Songs haben wir heute auf die Playlist gesetzt:
    1. Kensington: No Me
    2. Nine inch Nails: Head like a hole
    Für Euch stehen folgende Songs zur Auswahl:
    1. Pulp: Common People
    2. Blur: Song 2

    With Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny right around the corner, the guys thought it would be a good idea to rate and review the 4 previous Indiana Jones films.

    Episode 55:  Coneheads (1993) // Ahh, We will enjoy it!

    SNL made a string of films based upon their sketches.  Outside of Wayne's World (which we already covered on this show) Coneheads sets itself apart as among the best in the "SNLverse".  Starring Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin, this film makes a rather pedestrian skit from the 1970s into a hilarious 1990s comedy.  Also starring many of the 1990s SNL stars we would grow to love over the years in bit roles.  We cover it all and much more!

    Christmas with the Kranks & Deck the Halls

    Christmas with the Kranks & Deck the Halls
    Unpack the ornaments, adjust the tree, and hang the wreaths: this edition of Overlapping Dialogue has us unwrapping and failing to admire much about two bad holiday family comedies from the 2000s, Christmas with the Kranks and Deck the Halls. But before we untangle the holiday mayhem, we roast some chestnuts over an open fire with an extended Blue Plate Special discussion of the 2022 Sight and Sound Greatest Films of All Time Poll. Upon dispensing with the art, we dive headfirst into two films unlikely to ever be included in such canonized company. Listen as we surprisingly take little issue with the career of Tim Allen, scratch our heads at the arch of Matthew Broderick's screen persona, and try to make the most out of the seemingly never-ending dual parlor game from Hell that both movies needlessly thrust upon audiences. For all the mediocrity, we nonetheless had a lot of fun stripping apart the lamebrained DNA of Christmas movies like these. Rest assured, we'll actually be returning with quality holiday cinema next time!

    First Time you saw the movie?

     

    Plot:

     

    After Columbia University parapsychology professors Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, and Egon Spengler experience their first encounter with a ghost at the New York Public Library, the university dean dismisses the credibility of their paranormal-focused research and fires them. The trio responds by establishing "Ghostbusters", a paranormal investigation and elimination service operating out of a disused firehouse. They develop high-tech nuclear-powered equipment to capture and contain ghosts, although business is initially slow.

     

    After a paranormal encounter in her apartment, cellist Dana Barrett calls the Ghostbusters. She recounts witnessing a demonic dog-like creature in her refrigerator utter a single word: "Zuul". Ray and Egon research Zuul and details of Dana's building while Peter inspects her apartment and unsuccessfully attempts to seduce her. The Ghostbusters are hired to remove a gluttonous ghost, Slimer, from the Sedgewick Hotel. Having failed to properly test their equipment, Egon warns the group that crossing the energy streams of their proton pack weapons could cause a catastrophic explosion. They capture the ghost and deposit it in an ecto-containment unit under the firehouse. Supernatural activity rapidly increases across the city and the Ghostbusters become famous; they hire a fourth member, Winston Zeddemore, to cope with the growing demand.

     

    Suspicious of the Ghostbusters, Environmental Protection Agency inspector Walter Peck asks to evaluate their equipment but Peter rebuffs him. Egon warns that the containment unit is nearing capacity and supernatural energy is surging across the city. Peter meets with Dana and informs her Zuul was a demigod worshipped as a servant to "Gozer the Gozerian", a shapeshifting god of destruction. Upon returning home, she is possessed by Zuul; a similar entity possesses her neighbor, Louis Tully. Peter arrives and finds the possessed Dana/Zuul claiming to be "the Gatekeeper". Louis is brought to Egon by police officers and claims he is "Vinz Clortho, the Keymaster". The Ghostbusters agree to keep the pair separated.

     

    Peck returns with law enforcement and city workers to have the Ghostbusters arrested and their containment unit deactivated, causing an explosion that releases the captured ghosts. Louis/Vinz escapes in the confusion and makes his way to the apartment building to join Dana/Zuul. In jail, Ray and Egon reveal Ivo Shandor, leader of a Gozer-worshipping cult, designed Dana's building to function as an antenna to attract and concentrate spiritual energy to summon Gozer and bring about the apocalypse. Faced with supernatural chaos across the city, the Ghostbusters convince the mayor to release them.

     

    The Ghostbusters travel to the apartment building roof as Dana/Zuul and Louis/Vinz open the gate between dimensions and transform into demonic dogs. Gozer appears as a woman and attacks the Ghostbusters then disappears when they attempt to retaliate. Her disembodied voice demands the Ghostbusters "choose the form of the destructor". Ray inadvertently recalls a beloved corporate mascot from his childhood, and Gozer reappears as a gigantic Stay Puft Marshmallow Man that begins destroying the city. Against his earlier advice, Egon instructs the team to cross their proton energy streams at the dimensional gate. The resulting explosion destroys Gozer's avatar, banishing it back to its dimension, and closes the gateway. The Ghostbusters rescue Dana and Louis from the wreckage and are welcomed on the street as heroes.

     

     

    TOP 5​

    Before the Ghostbusters become established in New York City, they release a commercial to advertise their services. The three original members — Peter Venkman (Bill Murrey), Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd), and Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis) — appear on television, with the number 555-2368. During the film’s theatrical release in 1984, Ivan Reritman ran that very same commercial, which allowed people to call in. Callers would hear a pre-recorded message from Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd, who announced that they were unable to answer as they were busy busting ghosts! The number received 1,000 calls every hour, 24 hours a day, for several weeks! Sadly, the line is no longer operational, so if you’re being troubled by strange noises in the middle of the night, or you’re experiencing feelings of dread in your basement or attic, we don’t know what to tell you!

    “Ghostbusters” is such an iconic title — so much so, that many fans still haven’t noticed that, following the opening scene in the New York Public Library in the original 1984 film, the title that appears on the screen is actually two words and not one, reading “Ghost Busters”! Before the filmmakers settled on the now iconic title, Dan Aykroyd originally considered the title “Ghost Smashers”, while “Ghostbreakers” was also an option. The sign outside the Ghostbusters fire station in New York even had variations of these titles during production. “Ghostbusters” wasn’t available because of Filmation’s Ghostbusters (1975), an unrelated TV series (there’s also a 1986 cartoon). In the end, Columbia Pictures obtained the rights, while The Real Ghostbusters (1986 — 1991) was so named to distinguish it from the Filmation version.

    Despite becoming one of the most iconic characters in the entire Ghostbusters franchise, Slimer is never actually name-dropped in either of the two movies, Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II (1989). However, he was referred to as “Onionhead” by the crew of the original film. The “ugly little spud” wasn’t actually named “Slimer” until the animated show, The Real Ghostbusters, in which he’s part of the team. It’s this that inspired his more friendly cameo in Ghostbusters II, in which he offers Louis Tully (Rick Moranis) a ride in a town car. Slimer isn’t the only ghost in the original movie who isn’t referred to by the name we now know him by Gozer's two minions, Vinz Clortho/the keymaster and Zuul/the gatekeeper are never referred to as "terror dogs", despite the hellhounds now being synonymous with the name.

    As well as being called “Onionhead” by the crew members of the original 1984 film, Slimer also went by another name — “The Ghost of John Belushi”, something Dan Aykroyd started. Aykroyd has since confirmed that Slimer was heavily inspired by the late John Belushi. For starters, the green spook’s hankering for food was based on Belushi’s cafeteria scene in National Lampoon’s Animal House (1978). The role of Peter Venkman was originally written for the actor, however, he passed away while Aykroyd was working on the script in early 1984. While there are no direct references to the actor in the film, there are plenty throughout IDW’s Ghostbusters comic book series, some of which even feature Belushi’s character, “Joliet” Jake Blues, from The Blues Brothers (1980), which also stars Dan Aykroyd as Elwood Blues.

    Once the Ghostbusters cross the streams, the rift between the two dimensions causes the Marshmallow Man to explode, raining down marshmallow on the unsuspecting New Yorkers below. But getting that amount of actual marshmallows to dump on the film’s extras was implausible. Instead, Edlund’s team collected 500-gallon batches of shaving cream to substitute for the remnants of Mr. Stay-Puft. William Atherton, who played EPA villain Walter Peck, was skeptical about having such a large amount of heavy cream dropped on him, so they tested the idea on a stuntman using only 75 pounds, and it knocked him to the ground. The stuntman was okay, and another smaller batch was collected to dump on Atherton for the final take in the film.

    Episode 36:  Trading Places (1983)...Looking Good Billy Ray!

    Feeling good Louis!

    Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd star in this hilarious 1983 comedy about a rags to riches and riches to rags story.  Objectively, no one likes stock brokers.  And when two meddling old rich dudes mess with two people's lives, the payoff is ohhh so sweet.  Even if you don't understand stocks, this movie is incredible and the chemistry between Dan and Eddie off the charts.  We go over our favorite scenes and break them down.  Especially the ending. Plus much more!

    There's something strange in your neighborhood. It's the PCY Ghostbusters episode. One of the biggest movies of 1984 was Giff's choice for this month. We break down the antics of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, et al in this spooky show. Ghostbusters also had one of the signature songs of the 80's (apologies to Huey Lewis), so this is the time we share our favorite music of the year as well. Don't question who to call.
