GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE (2021) | First Time Watching | MOVIE REACTION | Who You Gonna Call?! 

When you see Dan Ackroyd shedding a tear at the very end, that was him for real. He was overcome with emotion when they staged the father and daughter hug.

A worthy sequel to the first 2. I'll admit, I was one of the many that teared up when Egon showed up. That's how you know they did it right.

Mckenna Grace as Phoebe is FANTASTIC in this!

Went and saw this in theaters. People were laughing, cheering during a particular scene and I heard some sniffles from people crying. This was the Ghostbusters movie we were waiting for. Gave major respect to the original two movies and characters. While also paving a way forward for sequels of its own. They did Ghostbusters right.

It was Ivan, the OG of the director for Ghostbusters movies(2 of the them). He was the body double & it was his last days. Man it was the emotional & bittersweet moment especially for Jason who did the directing for this movie. This movie helped me to move on & just feel appreciated in such delicate ways. Rest in Peace, Harold & Ivan! Live on the Ghostbusters! And my favorite OG Ghostbusters, is all of them!

RIP Egon Spengler/Harold Ramis. You were a True Ghostbuster.

It's ok Mrs Movies, i'm a 39 year old 6' 2" man and I cried like a baby at the Egon stuff at the end. RIP Harold Ramis.

My fav Phoebe/dad joke is -->"A grasshopper walks into a bar and the bartender says “We have a drink named after you!” So the grasshopper says, “You have a drink named Steve?!” -Phoebe"😂. It's McKenna Grace's sweet facial reaction that makes it such a adorable joke and why I love it and her.

The Egon scenes made this tatted up 43 year old cry like a baby. I was NOT expecting that. McKenna Grace was amazing. Her portrayal as a neurodivergent kid is probably the most accurate I've seen. Pleasantly surprised by this.

Phoebe was amazing. Even the deliberate annunciation when she spoke was very Egon-like. And my favorite original character was probably Ray. That’s probably more like myself. We saw it in the theater but just got the 4K at home so that’s next to watch again. Thanks for your reactions! Always entertaining.

What I think made this movie so successful was that it didn't lean on the original films too much to carry it. It managed to be it's own film while being respectful to the originals and passing the baton in a beautiful way. It really did feel like Dan Ackroyd was saying goodbye to Harold at the end. Mckenna Grace was an amazing mini-Egon. Definitely my favorite. Peter Venkman is my favorite OG Ghostbuster.

This was my favorite movie of 2021. McKenna Grace stole the show. I would like a sequel. More Phoebe, More Podcast. Peter is my favorite og.

This was the 1st film that I saw in the theater since the movie theaters re-opened! I nearly teared up when Egon appeared as well!

For me the granddaughter was the greatest new character. She's almost like a younger version of Egon. I had to check out if she's related to Harold Ramis.

31:01 Based on the timeline this movie sets up it's fully possible that Ghostbusters: The Video Game is being acknowledged as canon it's events take place in 1991 and Ivo Shandor was the primary villain in that and I believe he attempts to steal Gozer's powers so that would explain why Gozer just offs him right away once freed.

We all cried too, it's okay.

When the super emotional scene hit I was watching for her water bottle trick to keep from crying 😂😂 but I saw them tears!!!!

Loved this movie. The actor playing Phoebe really got the mannerisms down so well for her character. It makes me tear up each time I see the third act.

"Back off Bud, I'm a scientist." Dr. Peter Vinkman, "Ghost Busters"

The body double for Harold Ramis was Ivan Reitman, himself.

This movie is dedicated in memory to Harold Ramis. He would have proud for bringing back this beloved franchise.

Fun fact: When they said that there hasn't been a ghost sighting for 30 years, it means since 1991. 1991 is the exact year that the Ghostbusters video game took place. That's also probably why Gozer ripped Shandor in half.

I realized that while Podcast is so Ray and Phoebe is obviously Egon, Lucky is Venkman becasue she messes with people and Trevor is Zeddemore (mostly based on how he is the one who fixes up the car and is pretty practical in hos own way.)

This imo was the movie we needed after a period of lock downs.. it came at the right time.. my daughter cried at the end.. i did too.. i think i started her off tbh i dunno.. but it was one of my all time fav cinema nights ever.. the entire audience was stunned.. it was a surreal experience..i've never been that emotional publicly watching a film... for me this is the film of 2021.. it was special.

I’ve been to the firehouse in NYC…Wish I could send you guys pictures of it!

The movie was a brilliant masterpiece and a beautiful tribute to Harold Ramis. I loved it. Couple years ago, I told people, where the 2016 remake had failed miserably, Ghostbusters afterlife will succeed. And *So it did* and for all the right reasons 👻

I was the weird kid. My favourite Ghostbuster was Winston. Favourite Turtle was Donatello, and favourite power ranger was Blue.

I teared up unexpectantly too when I saw Egon near the end.

Ernie Hudson did not enough movies, great guy. And hell, he didnt age.

Him: "Paul Rudd s in it. Who is...both of our free passes." Her: "Yup!" Me: (raised eyebrow)

I didn't even recognize Olivia Wilde as Gozer. I did know that the character's voice was done by Shohreh Aghdashloo, who is known for having a distinctive, low voice for a woman.

Mckenna Grace plays Phoebe. She was young Theo in "The Haunting of Hill House".

if you didn't cry, you weren't there in the beginning. what a tribute. now I want more. McKenna Grace was AWESOME ❤

I definitely cried in theaters. It was so beautifully done and respectful in the handling of Harold Ramis. It was so well earned.

Without Ghostbusters I wouldn't wanted to get into Spooky things and want to be actor. Who knew I would do Haunted Houses for 21 years, It took hurting my spine to retire me. Anyways The Classic and cartoons Peter was my favorite. And this Phoebe just was the heart of this film. What makes this better than the 2016 was the tone and added to the greatness that the original created rather than trying to replace it. Harold Ramis would be proud of this. I think It can keep going but make sure whatever that they do keep it scary, funny and full of heart I think Slimer should return. If they don't do a film do a series building up to a next film. Heck bring the Extreme Ghostbusters cartoon characters show up.

I just watched this last night. I won't lie I teared up when Egon's ghost appeared to help the gang. I loved Harold Ramis movies.

There were a NUMBER of sniffles in my theater when I went to see this in the theater! I was one totally crying! LOVED this movie!

That was an awesome reaction. This movie was a total blast. The cast was terrific, RIP to Harold Ramis. An amazing person and a comedic legend. 🙏😥

Yep. I cried too.

I was so excited to see this movie. I wasn't disappointed and the ending was legendary. McKenna was amazing as Phoebe. The entire cast was amazing in this. For Harold. RIP Harold Ramis/Egon, great reaction guys!❤️🙏🏻😌

What slammed me was how well cast Phoebe was. After I heard the family name I was like, "of course!!". She LOOKS like a Spengler. I loved that.

great movie + reaction! McKenna Grace is also great in "Young Sheldon", as the recurring role of Sheldon's rival "Paige".

Not only is this the best way to pass the torch, this and Ghostbusters: the Videogame are true love letters to fans of the first two films; this also properly respects what came before it, unlike the 2016 reboot

A great sequel. So nostalgic.

Skippy! Popcorn! Ghostbusters! RIP Harold..... Let's get it!😎🍻🍷🚬👍👀💕

As a kid born in back in 1982 I would watch ghostbusters everyday. This movies 🎥 was handled with respect and class. The ending will make any fan teary eyed.

Saw it three times in theaters and cried all three times. Hell, I teared up while watching you guys watching it. Phoebe and Podcast were my favorite new characters, and Ray will always be my favorite OG ‘buster.

Gary and Phoebe are my favorite new characters. Venkmann and Egon are my favorite O.G Ghostbusters (so, yeah, Afterlife hit hard, but I loved it). Yeah, I wouldn't be up for a Vigo return. We need a brand new villain for the next Ghostbusters.

I like how they brought back much of the original atmospheric score from the first movie, sound effects. That's what made it feel like a Ghostbusters movie

I loved this film, and the send off for Harold Ramis was perfect!

RIP and long live Harold Ramis (November 21, 1944 - February 24, 2014), aged 69 You will always be remembered as a legend.

I read that Ivan Reitman stood in for Harold Ramis. Touching tribute to his old friend.

Loved this movie, when Egon's hand appears at the end, I did have a moment of "They didn't... did they?" that had me fearing about HOW they bring Egon back, but I'm very happy with what they did and think it was just right. SO Glad they didn't have him speak etc.

Don't feel bad about crying when you saw the 'For Harold'. I saw this in theaters on opening day and literally EVERYONE in there shed a tear there too. Myself included. And billions of more tears around the world.

While I have a few minor gripes with this movie, I'm glad I saw it and will be adding it to my library soon enough. It's a worthy follow-up to the original duology. I'm especially glad I saw it in the theatre, since when the theme started playing over the credits, the entire audience was singing it, myself included. Great movie-going experience achieved.

This is a great movie. Fun, hits all the beats, and leaves you wanting more. Chefs kiss

18:13 _"Actually, it might've been barley."_ It was. 31:00 _"Is that Olivia Wilde?"_ Indeed, it is. I'm not sure whether I should be impressed or disappointed that that wasn't immediately obvious to me when I saw this in my local theater.

If you don't shed at least one tear at the end you're dead inside. They knocked it out of the park with this movie!

I had the same reaction as the Mrs. The car chase is so cool! The mini marshmallows are soooo cute! Egon's ghost 🥲

Grew up with Ghostbusters and saw this one two weeks ago myself. I really liked it for the respect it had towards what the original Ghostbusters stood for without being 100% focused on nostalgia alone.

'Both of our free passes,' had me laughing so hard I could hardly breath! Thanks. As for using Ivan/Egon at the end, they honored his memory rather than used his memory, so that was great. Let's see you react to the Frozen Empire trailer!

I really liked this movie. Thought the most unbelievable thing about it was how empty, and clean, that Wal-Mart was. :)

Rip to Ivan Rittman who passed away at the age of 75. His son will now be carrying on his legacy. Hope you stayed for the two end credit scenes.

The double for Egon was Bob Gunton, the guy who played the warden in The Shawshank Redemption.

I liked the dad jokes in this movie alot better than the attempted jokes in GB 2016.

Favorite original Ghostbuster was Egon. Favorite new Ghostbusster is Phoebe. Nerds are punk I definitely want to see the franchise continued. Ernie Hudson has said he'd love to be the Nick Fury of the franchise, and I think he deserves it considering how good he's been to the fans through the years

I got so emotional towards the ending. This is my freaking childhood.

i waited 30 years, we waited 30 years....when the spectral hand showed up to steady phoebe's wand, the waterworks started. Seeing your heroes finally back together again after 3 decades is surreal. Harold, you will be missed, we love you so much!

I think this movie has a bit of a Goonies vibe along with all the ghost buster 80s nostalgia.

Hi Dorothy, I'm really happy that you and Randy watched this together. Your reactions were all that I expected them to be and more. That scene with Egon's ghost got me too. Ghostbusters: Afterlife rounded Egon's character arc off perfectly. I loved all of the call-backs to the original. For as well loved movies that the original 2 were, this IS the Ghostbusters 'requel' the fans have been waiting for. When I saw this at the cinema I revisited my childhood all over again. in the first scene in the farmhouse I noticed the symmetrical-book-stacks immediately and knew that it was haunted. I really think that McKenna Grace was the perfect child-actor for her role, and her comedic timing was on-point. I loved what Podcast's character added to the movie. McKenna Grace I feel is going to build on the success she's already had from 'The Haunting of Hill House', 'Annabelle Comes Home', and 'Malignant' to become a staple of horror movie acting. She's definitely got the stuff. Oh, from what I remember of the Bluray extra features, that condescending female cop who was stood behind the desk in the police station, is Dan Aykroyd's real-life daughter. Plus Harold Ramis' daughter was brought to the set one day by Jason Reitman, she said that she'd never processed just how much her father meant to her, and how much she missed him, until one day behind the scenes, she put his proton pack on, and started to well-up in tears. She said that the character Egon wasn't the whole of her father, but it felt special to have that one last connection with him. Yep, looks like there's gonna be more Ghostbusters with that open-ending and those mid-credit and post-credit scenes, and Dan Aykroyd is enthusiastic about pursuing more with this new cast and characters. He wrote the originals, and he co-wrote Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Hope that extra info gives you a bit of a buzz.

Yes, Egon had someone checking on him. Janine... remember in the first movie when he came out from under her desk?

A good send off to Harold. It made me tear up at the end. Bob Gunton, the actor who played the warden in "The Shawshank Redemption," was the body double for Egon.

This was the movie we were asking for in 2016. I’m so glad that Phoebe is our main character because it completely destroys the argument that we didn’t like 2016 because “we just hate women”. No. We didn’t like it because it wasn’t funny. I think Podcast is my favorite of the new Ghostbusters because he is literally a baby version of Ray. So enthusiastic and friendly. But they were all wonderful. Excellent film. It only gets better every time I see it, and I cry harder every time I see the ending. LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!

Sándor (pronunced Shandor) is actually a Hungarian first name; the Hungarian version of Alexander. The more you know.

Did you catch the Easter Egg with the town's cinema marquis saying CANNIBAL GIRLS was playing? That's the same movie on a cinema marquis in GHOSTBUSTERS II!!

Paul Rudd fit so well into this movie, I wish I had a teacher who showed me horror movies when I was in High School.

Mrs. movie's face when she sees the stay puft minis!😂 priceless! Don't worry, Mrs Movies, the last scene with Egon got me too, a great, fitting, beautiful scene.

If it hasn't been mentioned already, the Director of the first 2 Ghostbusters movies : Ivan Reitman (father of Jason Reitman) was the body double for Egon's ghost and photos were used with permission of Harold's family.

Oh certaily give us more of this crew! I could never choose a favorite, originals or new. I just hope we get to see more of everyone.

EDIT: FINALLY saw this movie. Somehow managed to have nothing spoiled. And I LOVED it. 32:27 the amazing disappearing/reappearing corn field. They keep showing the house alone in a giant field. Everyone says, “dirt farmer”. Then in the moments they’re fighting ghosts (opening & ending), there’s a giant corn field in front of their front door.

Why do I tear up every time I see Igon's ghost appearing to help Pheobe and then fighting alongside the 3 guys again? I'm a 51 year old man, but apparently also a little girl.

another awesome reaction. Those tears fell here too. The Egon moment was so emotional.

FYI, Ghost Corps was established in 2015 or 2016 ahead of the 2016 movie. When there are no movies in the works, the company is responsible for all of the merchandise.

All the other cars on the farm were from the same year/manufacturer as Ecto-1. Egon was cannibalizing them to keep the old girl up.

The next Ghostbusters movie will hit theaters on Dec. 20, 2023. The sequel is a follow-up to director Jason Reitman's Ghostbusters: Afterlife,

Great reaction! ive watched reactions of several channels and watched the movie several times, the ending gets me everytime!

Cue the music --- If there's something strange in your RU-vid subscription feed... Who you gonna call? You, Me and the Movies!

The guy who played egon was the guy who played the warden in shawshank

Fun Fact: Actor Bob Gunton (Shawshank Redemption/ The warden) played the physical Egon but the special effects made a digital facial effect over Bob's face. They used the old footage from pt2 and aged the face. When they do the box set, they should pay respect to the very recent loss of Ivan Reitman.

The only reason That this is my favorite ghostbusters movie is because the baby stay puff marshmallow scene!!

This Movie was a PERFECT Homage to Ghostbusters and a Touching Tribute to the Wonderful Harold Ramis. The Only Missing Piece was the Final Cast Member, Rick Moranis.

the body double for Egon was amazing actor Bob Gunton

This one was a blast! Huge Carrie Coon fan so it was fun to see her in a more lighthearted role - and the little marshmallow guys! So cute!!

Watched 2 nights ago and it was tremendous! So much better than the 2016 failed reboot nobody asked for, all fans wanted was a proper sequel that included the original cast but added the potential of starting a new series of films. Podcast was such a good casting and the kid killed that role!

Mckenna Grace stole the show. She was just amazing in this film. I loved it. Great connections to the original two including music and enough for new fans too. Jason Reitman did an awesome job. I hope he continues for the next one. This is how to do a Ghostbusters film and one we have been waiting over 30 years for.

no reason to feel embarassed about the 'need to drink water' at the end. The end sequence brings tears to me everytime.

When Egon and Phebie did the father/son Kamehameha, and the little baby marshmallows did the grimelins on the equipment. Absolutely gold!

Saw the behind the scenes specials on this. Harold was brought back as Egon through one body double for most of it. BUT in particular when seen with the 3 original Ghostbusters, Ivan Reitman the director / writer of the previous 2, stepped into the suit to be with the guys, helping add to the "old friend" feel for them.

The ending is imo the most iconic ending ever in cinema history..i know thats a crazy thing to say.. but it was iconic... and will never be done again with such respect and love... it was my cinema moment of the past 39 years of my life...

Ernie Hudson proving once and for all that "Black don't crack." The guy looks just like he did in the 80's!
