#601 - "Reintroductions" - January 13, 2020 13.01.2020 1:39:15
This week on the show, has it really been this long? Boy, we should really treat this year as a new “pilot” so to speak, so that you know who these two dopes are that talk for hours and hours and why you should listen to them. And sure, since we’ve been on hiatus for the holidays we should probably talk about the QuickBooks ads starring Annie Potts reprising her role as Janine, some of the most re...
#550 - "Ghostbusters Afterlife Trailer A Listener Voicemails" - December 16, 2019 16.12.2019 39:59
Hard to believe that one week ago, we got our first glimpse at Ghostbusters Afterlife.

An episode release on a Thursday? Have we gone mad? I guess so, because a trailer for GHOSTBUSTERS 3 was released on Monday. We’ve gotta cut into the feed with a special episode. This week on the show, Troy and Chris talk about their reactions to the trailers, their thoughts on some of the teases and what certain elements could mean, and a whole lot more on this special (and long) episode of the C...

#547 - "Echo Chamber" - December 2, 2019 02.12.2019 1:07:43
This week on the show, what if there ISN’T a big fan premiere event? Many fans are assuming that Sony will make a splash and open the doors to fans, but what will happen if that’s not the case? Troy and Chris talk through it and a whole lot more, including the last news round up leading up to the holidays and your voicemails!
#546 - "It's Miller Time! with the Ghostbusters of British Columbia" - November 25, 2019 25.11.2019 1:07:35

Well, mainly everything. Check it!

Nor rain, sleet, snow, colds, ear infections, termites, long work hours, can stop the - - well, they did. We missed last week’s episode and what resulted this week is a mishmash of what should have aired last week and something new.

This week on the show, we’re turning the airwaves over to you, our awesome listeners for your voicemails! Since we’ve had a few shows with lengthy discussion topics, we haven’t been able to air as many of your messages as we’d like, so here’s a whole episode of them.

#533 - "What If: Casting Had Been Very Different?" - August 19, 2019 19.08.2019 56:46
This week on the show, we continue our “What If” series with another thought experiment: what if some of the alternative castings mentioned over the years had actually gotten the role?

All of these and more are explored as Troy and Chris think of reasons...
#532 - "The Collectors" - August 12, 2019 12.08.2019 1:10:48

Not necessarily the items that have the most monetary value, but those tha...

This week on the show, a few quick news items and then an interesting thought experiment: what if Ghostbusters II had been the biggest movie of Summer 1989, beating out Batman among others for box office gold? And what if that meant a third sequel would have been made around 1991? What would it have meant for the franchise? Would we still be getting the film we’re getting in 2020, or would the sta...
