No, really, who (else) you gonna call at this point? The epic original that launched a franchise, Ghostbusters, is 38 years old today. The Ivan Reitman film starred Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson as the titular quartet trying to save NYC. Endless reboots, sequels and cartoon series later, how does the source material hold up? Are the circa-1984 SFX spooky or unintentionally hilarious? And, has a Bill Murray character ever not hit on the female lead? Brian and Christina wipe the ectoplasmic residue off their DVDs and give the classic comedy a rewatch. Listen to this.
