Description

This week we're talking Ghostbusters (1984). It's ghost science!!

The old gods are coming and they're spewing ectoplasm everywhere so load up the traps, ready the proton packs and get ready to make some s'mores! Freda stans the marketing tactics, Abi solves ghosts and we're all just thinking...damn, they don't make 'em like this anymore!
