FIRST TIME WATCHING *GHOSTBUSTERS (1984)* 

So in 1984, Sigourney Weaver was just coming off the success of Alien. The GHOSTBUSTERS cast wasn't sure they could get an actress with star power like Sigourney but asked her if she wanted to audition anyway. THEY WERE NOT PREPAIRED !!! Realizing that she didn't want to be known for only one type of role, miss Weaver proceeded to get down on all fours on stage and begin barking like a dog, in order to act out her idea of being possessed by Zuul. They hired her immediately !!!!!!

AFTER 40 YEARS, It breaks me up that "the Keymaster" keeps getting locked out of his own Apartment!

I was 8 when I watched this movie thankfully a lot of the innuendo went right over my head.

"Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES!" For a good 10 years after this movie came out me and friends were quoting lines from it at least once a week.

This is one of my favorite classic movies I hoped you enjoyed it👍👍👍

Hobgoblins are mischievous house spirits in english folklore so it does work as a descriptive word for Slimer.

This movie keeps trying to make Peck seem like a villain when just shows him doing his job and being right the entire time. The Ghostbusters built a violate system in the heart of Manhattan expecting there to never be an interruption in the power grid. Oversight was warranted and Peck didn't become hostile till Venkman refused to show him more of the facility even after Venkman was immediately condescending to him and rubbed ectoplasm on his suit.

Perfect follow up with character growth has to be ZOMBIE LAND

Remember, folks: When someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES!

John Belushi, Eddie Murphy & Dan Aykrod was going to be the 3 original Ghostbusters but John Belushi died before before production began an Eddie Murphy passed it an did Beverly hills cop

I remembered the supernatural gross dog thing looking better with the special effects

Never clicked on one of your links faster! Who you gonna call?

What up Goob.? " ) Ghostbusters Answer the call with the 4 women is the best Ghostbusters, It has cameos from everyone in the first Ghostbusters except Egon, but his son makes an appearance so it's almost like he was there.

Pee Wee Herman was originally going to play Gozer

The "bust" refers to a police bust. They're anti-ghost cops. The more sexual connotations of the word weren't as widespread as they are now.

"I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought." That is my favorite line in the movie. Fun fact: the original design for the library ghost was TOO intense. The producers didn't want to use it, so they kept it in storage; another producer liked it, and wanted to use it. That was used as Jerry's final form in the horror comedy Fright Night.

Dr. Venkman's study at the beginning is sorta viable. he is telling the girl she is correct, but she continues to be wrong. after repeatedly telling the guy he is wrong, and also shocking him, he actually got one right and may have gotten more right with more negative reinforcement

This is PG back when parental guidance was a bit more relaxed. 😂

Both the guy that played the cop in the jail (Reginald VelJohnson) that told them that the mayor wanted to see them and the guy that played Walter Peck would go on to play similar roles in Die Hard as Al Powell and the scummy reporter. Reginald VelJohnson then played another cop as the father in Family Matters.

Bit of trivia. The actor of Walter Peck got a bad burn from the Marshmallow scene. They used shaving cream and they didnt realize he was allergic to Menthol and they accidentally used Menthol shaving cream and so he ended up with a burn rash where they dumped it on him. Also to this day he can be walking down the street and people will lean out the window of vehicles and yell "Hey Dickless" at him.

BUSTIN' MAKES ME FEEL GOOOOD

Predated the implementation of pg-13 by a month

I don't know if you play video games much but before they released Ghostbusters Afterlife the two who wrote the first 2 movies wrote the script for Ghostbusters the video game. It was the sequel they intended to make but couldn't get things set up properly. Definitely worth at least watching the cutscenes from that game.

You have just witnessed my all time favorite movie. You should watch Ghostbusters II, Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.

Fun fact the bit with the egg's Sigourney weaver didn't know that they were gonna start cooking so the reaction on her face was real

17:48 Oh my... Those legs... Sigourney Weaver... 18:50 .... ;) 19:28 Yeah. :) 21:15 "I feel like a floor of a taxi cab" 22:13 Hahaha!

In the summer of '84 I worked at a movie theater. The three big novies that summer were GHOSTBUSTERS, THE NATURAL, and INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM. I would stick my head in to see the ending of THE NATIONAL, the human sacrifice scene in TEMPLE OF DOOM, and Sigourney Weaver in the red dress in GHOSTBUSTERS. Guess which of those three scenes I watched most often!

Fun trivia: When Louis is getting possessed outside the restaurant, the young girl at the table behind him to his left (as he is facing away from the window)... is future 80s pop star Debbie Gibson.

Great reaction and your dance interludes 10/10 ❤❤❤ 🥰 RIP Harold Ramis aka Dr Egon Spengler

There are so many reasons this remains such a beloved classic, even after 40 years! The Car, the actors and acting, scriptwriting, music, direction etc.. They took and put in a LOT of Love into this film which made it a definite, "Lightning in a Bottle". There are many small clues with the writing, such as been noted that although he keeps locking himself out of his apartment, he is the Keymaster.. There are sutble things such as the elevatorscene when switching it on, or when Peter gets slimed.. and the reactions of his ehm , friends and collegues.

Character growth? Eww. Iconic comedians, iconic movie. Doesn’t need a moral of the story, just needs to entertain. Pure comedy seems to have gone extinct since the 80s

This is a movie that gets better and better every time you rewatch it. You just keep catching more and more little jokes. It's crazy how many gags there are. Lines you're not really thinking about when you're just watching, because they seem like normal dialogue, or silly stuff happening in the background, or you're focused on one character and the other character is doing something you didn't notice.

"Where do these stairs go?"........"They go up." My favorite line in the movie.

Funny how the "KEYmaster" always forgets his key and locks himself out of his room the entire movie, very well chosen :). Ghostbusters 2 is also very good and worth watching.

Hello Yasmina, nice to see you!😊 "Slimer" is a very popular character. He was well liked in the long running animated series as well. Great reactions to your first Ghostbusters film, Yasmina!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

Stay Puft Marshmallows are still available. They were created (for the public) after this movie. The company still makes them in batched periodically. Peter's "creepy" persona was a rampant inclusion into a great number of movies by filmmakers & sometimes actors throughout their Hollywood films thru the 80s & 90s. Just have to expect it from that era. The behavior was not criticized much during that time and was often taken lightly as unreal or exaggerated. Gozer & "It's" minions were not ghosts (They were God & Demi-gods? Big dog was more accurate in this film).

Yes the Keymaster apparently lacks keys, lol. Rick actually wrote most of his part incidentally.

28:03 The good (all) times before the evil times. 28:15 I like your 'amazing French skills'. :) 28:32 Not as dirty as you wanted it to be. 28:50 That is great. But never say that in France. :)

15:50 I love how some of the other guys in the cell are listening to Ray’s explanation and nodding.

lol they roasted the marshmallow man. It must smell amazing =p

This film is literally perfect, often imitated never replicated

Huey Lewis sued Ray Parker Jr for plagiarism over the 'Ghostbusters' theme, alleging Parker Jr ripped off his 'I Want A New Drug.' Lewis won. I'm with you: Venkman gave off major Creep vibes. I don't see how he could ever be considered 'charming' or even 'boyish.'

"You hurt books, you hurt me." Okay, instant subscribe for that comment alone!

The song will never fail to get me hyped

You "PS the Ghostbusters theme song has been stuck in my head for 5 days" Us 40 years for Me and many others

When you get to the end of Season 13 of Supernatural, you should watch Hollywood's second Supernatural parody, done to the tune of Ghostbusters.

The ghostbuster who plays Egon , directed many great movies and was in many. One of them that he directed was called " Caddyshack " . 👍

6:28 What a lovely singing voice you must have! 15:44 Well, that's a good point, they're all in the cell behind you. This was a PG, I saw it in the cinema, but I was quite young so some of the more suggestive scenes just went over my head. The theme song has just entered popular culture. Someone who's never seen it will still know 'Who ya gonna call? Ghostbusters!'

"Everything was fine with our system until the power grid was shut off by dickless here"... "Is this true?" "Yes it's true. This man has no dick." This will never not make me laugh. Such a funny movie w/ an amazing theme song. Great reaction. And the heart necklace is nice.

1983 “do they have t shirts?” 2023 “Oh they got merch!”

The psychological test are there to make sure it isn’t just a illusion do to some existential problem

watch temple of doom to see why they made pg-13 afterward. the 80s were rough. lot of coke in the writers rooms.

Yes, ECTO 1 is distracting on the road, but I guess that's it's purpose. That siren will sure get people to pull over.

The super dry humor has to hit. It is fun top notch if it does.

I had just turned 18 and went to see Ghostbusters with my mom. We are leaving the theater and at the top of her voice, she was talking about how much she loved the BJ scene. I thought I was going to die right there in the lobby.

The actor who plays Egon , also directed " Groundhog Day " - " What About Bob ? " and the most famous " Caddyshack ". He was also in many other movies like " STRIPES " with : John Candy and many other great actors 👍 👌. Must watch !!!

This movie has such a kickin’ soundtrack, as evidenced by your dance moves.

Dr Venkman is a character who did not hold up for me. Aside from some good dry wit lines his cynical self serving personal flaws stopped being funny after I met the tenth person IRL who was like that. However... Annie Potts never stopped being more beautiful than the incredible Sigourney Weaver.

What an iconic movie. Glad you finally watched this.

Great reaction, anyone else think it's strange that Peter went to Dana's apartment with a fully loaded syringe of Thorazine..no...just me? ok

It's an '80s PG. Inflation adjusted, that's, like, a 15 today. ;-)

Lol Yasmina's actually pretty funny, she could've been in this film.

That's how I know it's time to clean my fridge. As long as it doesn't say, "Zuul," it's probably fine.

John candy was originally going to play the part of Louis Tolly but he wanted to play the character with a German accent but they said no and they got Rick Morranis

My parents still have and use the Casserole Dish with flowers on it that was in Dana's Fridge.

It's always funny that women seem to dislike Peter Venkeman, whereas men think he's the coolest, funniest guy ever.

This was a fun reaction video

It is the EPA business to look into things so Waltet Peck is doing his job. Venkman did not help the situation and with Peck's own hybris it was not a good mix.

back then, there was no pg-13 so there was a lot of stuff that was allowed in pg that would be pg-13 today

I was very young when this movie was on vhs. i feel older than gozer.😂

6:23 You dog! 18:40 6:57 Yes. 13:01 It's not the woke times. 15:30 It might be something else... ;)

Such a classic. cant believe its been so long.

Gen X didn't get so offended as people do today. This was our PG.

Love this song! Classic movie

That first comment that you read was pretty apt. I mean, I was a child when it came out, so it probably made more sense for me to like it then, but looking back, it would be pretty ridiculous if it wasn't so good. In the historical progression of things, maybe we were just more welcoming and forgiving about goofy wackiness without overthinking it too much. We must've just genuinely had less expectations, and were happier to get what we could because we didn't know any better yet, and didn't have anything else for comparison yet? I honestly don't know if that was better, or just tragically sad of us compared to now, but whatever. So, the second one is even wackier, but if I'm being honest, I kind of love it for that, and think it's more endearing. There was the all female reboot a while back. I didn't see it, but it wasn't for any specific reason. I just missed it, but people have said some bad things about it, but that might've at least partially been misogynistic haters. I don't know. The really liked new one "Afterlife" from a few years ago, and there's a new new one very soon, I think.

PG in the 80s actually meant something.

Fun Fact: Luis Tully, who becomes the Keymaster, keeps locking himself out his apartment. Please continue with Ghostbusters 2 , Afterlife, and Frozen Empire. Ghostbusters Answer the Call is the goofy SNL parady. There are cameos , but not as the original characters.

And to upload this on ghostbusters day 🎉

Until peck returns as the mayor 40 years later

"I thought this was PG".. it was for Gen X.

the actor who plays "Walter Peck" is also in Diehard 1 & 2 and Oscar and he plays ananoying character is all 4 films......

Why does Gen Z only speak in slang?

It is PG, there was no PG-13 then.

Saying letterboxd is unhinged is an understatement.

It's endlessly hilarious that the key master keeps locking himself out of his own apartment. I never noticed this as a kid. I don't blame Rick Moranis for giving up the business for his family. He gave us so many amazing memories. Sorry to crowd but it had to be said. 👻🚫

Yay Yasmina, Your reaction of Ghostbusters was the best👻🚫 You and I agree the theme songs the best it's my phone ringtone📲🎶 It's good to see Sigourney Weaver In this movie I hope you saw her aliens movies to !!!👽 Are you a God then die⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡ Ray when someone asks you if you are God you say yes😅😅 I love this town😂😂😂😂

I am obligated under an unwritten and imaginary contract stipulating a list of movies for which I am required to see anybody's first time reaction to watching them... Ghostbusters being one of these. And so, I am here. 🍿

movie suggestions R.O.D the OVA Fahrenheit 451 Page Maser The NeverEnding Story Ink Heart The Book Thief Indiana Jones and he las crusade The Time Machine 1960 Casper frighteners

Best part :D "Oh, are the windows going to open..."

28:33 say what now

The Ghostbusters firehouse was used in other movies BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, THE MASK & NATIONAL SECURITY

Love both "Ghostbusters" and "Ghostbusters II" films equally. Of course, Elmer Bernstein's score to "Ghostbusters" is my favorite and after 32 years later we got Randy Edelman's awesome score to "Ghostbusters II".

Another film you might like is the Sci-Fi horror comedy spoof, "Transylvania Twist" {1989}. Oddball humor, silly puns, one lines, and visual gags. 28:30 Reading French, but no "Amelie" watch along, video on this RU-vid channel? How is that possible? 😉

Character Growth? They started a paranormal college program that collapsed and they were let go of their jobs. So the Ghostbusters took it to the next level and it grew larger and larger, from that point. Peter Venkman went from getting slimed in the hallway and leading to the battle against Gozer. Critiquing a movie from 40 years ago does not have the best special effects because they weren't available yet. In the 1980's, there were popular cartoons/movies like Star Wars, He-Man & the Masters of the Universe, Voltron, Gummy Bears, My Pet Monster, M.A.S.K., Muppet Babies, Pee Wee Herman, David the Gnome, Teddy Ruxpin, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Beetlejuice, Droids, Ewoks, Alvin and the Chipmunks, ThunderCats, C.O.P.S., etc., etc.

Yasmina, when you have some free time, check out this music piece that Alissa White-Gluz released almost 4 months ago. It’s called A Song to Save Us All, and it’s on the relatively difficult subject of animal cruelty and exploitation, but there’s a beautifully moving and powerful message behind the song. My thoughts on this art piece is that could potentially be the next My Heart Will Go On.

The jail guard played the dad in the tv show FAMILY MATTERS an he was in other movies DIE HARD 1 & 2, TUNER AND HOOCH

"lets bust some ghosts." ALWAYS sounds cool. Bustin' makes me FEEL GOOOD!!!!!

The Stay PUFT MARSHMALLOW MAN was actually going to come out of the Hudson River

GB afterlife was on FX last night… every two seconds is a throwback to the original, so you might as well just watch THIS instead! Also, how did those meddling kids become science techno wizards so fast? Must have something to do with pre-established franchises like Harry Potter, Stranger Things, and stuff. Everything builds on top of everything that came before until you have stuff like ReRe Williams building herself a whole iron man suit out of her college dorm. Dig further and you’ll find out Marvel was trying to reclaim the name Iron Heart from an Asian porn video of the same title! 😍

@Yasmina Reacts - so you know, theres also a Ghostbusters 2, Ghosbusters 2016 (dont bother, its woke garbage that faceplanted in the ratings. total flop), then theres Ghostbusters: Afterlife (he actor that played Egon passed away and this movie was made for/dedicated to him), and the latest one Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.
