Episode 219 - Ghostbusters (1984)

Best Film Ever

(Deep Dive begins at 25:20)

If someone asks if you're a god, you say yes. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasters, Ian, Liam, Megan and Georgia (Ethan's locked out of his apartment) as we're heading to New York City and craving Marshmallows in the Dan Aykroyd/Ivan Retiman penned megahit, Ghostbusters, on account of its 40th anniversay. We ain't afraid of no ghosts in our 219th episode as we discuss:

• The generational aspect to comedy
• Why is nostalgia something we guard so closely?
• We've got a couple of food related queries
• Ian talks about the iconography of the Ghostbusters franchise
• Georgia tries to compare this to Star Wars
• We do a soft celebration of the 4 year anniversary of the BFE
• Whether or not Ghostbusters is the Best Film Ever
