Half in the Bag: Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire 

The Osteoporosis Dancers are out for Mike's blood. At least, the 3 that aren't dead. Once they get their artificial hips, it is OVER for him.

They're not young. They're also not old, though. It's not that complicated.

You can see Mike just struggling to suppress the bloodlust at that line

LOL, the funny thing is RLM has been around long enough that some of us have become elderly throughout our viewership.

Considering the body starts dying at 28 years old everyone on RLM has been dying for a minimum of 12 years. Most likely 14-15 years.

Mike actually did not dislike Wesley

Excellent detective work

Mike didn't dislike Wesley, but he knows a lot of people did.

Which is why Mike feels nothing from Star Wars. Because it's about family. And that's why it means nothing to him.

I don't know if cinema is dead as much as most movies as complete shit and have the same exact lazy characters and arcs but with different names.

@@iSOBigDnah. There are plenty of good movies. The blockbuster formula is dead. Except a few. That’s all. Those big fun action movies. But there are still lots of very good movies out there. Back in the day we used to get one or two good movies a year. Now we get half a dozen. It’s just most of them never make it to theaters.

@@popermen694 it's been 15+ years since there has been a legitimately good movie. Modern writers simply can not write a movie. Modern directors are corporate shills and not making entertainment, and it just keeps getting worse every year. If you think there are some good movies out there, then you simply have very low standards.

​@@zarroth This is all GLEE's fault. Eff you GLEE! Seriously tho, Hollywood just needs to bring the creepers back. Post MeToo left a power vacuum that got filled by moralizing deebags who are unwilling and incapable of ever green lighting a Super Troopers or a Hangover-type movie. The comedy genre is basically non-existent. Taylor Sheridan might have enough industry cred to make movies that don't cater to pathetic people, but people like him and Eastwood are being actively boxed out. Nic Pizzolato was excluded from being involved in s4 of True Detective. The man created one of the better shows in the last 25 years and had his work hi-jacked and gifted to a South Park parody of a director. Who then went on to produce the biggest PoS I have ever seen. Our 2 female leads were featured in these bizarre sex scenes that both ended in the woman forcing a dude into a cream pie. So ya... I won't argue that cinema is basically dead.

@@zarroth Whiplash, Interstellar, Birdman, Nightcrawler, and The Grand Budapest Hotel all came out in 2014. Parasite, The Lighthouse, 1917, and Joker all came out in 2019. Ex Machina was 2015. La La Land and Arrival were in 2016. Blade Runner 2049 was 2017. Moneyball was 2011. Oppenheimer in 2023. Dune 1 and 2. If you're going to tell me that you think every single one of those movies is a pile of garbage, I'm going to strongly disagree with you and feel a little sorry for you. Granted, in the last few years, movies have been a bit rough- COVID and multiple strikes have taken their toll, after all- but to say that no good movies have been produced in at least 15 years is cynicism on a level approaching hubris.

I love how we all instinctively looked at Mike when Jay said that. We all saw it! 😂

I didn’t even notice lol

Half in the Bag Ghostbusters is a leap holiday

The reason is that they didn't want to heat the studio that day.

I just assumed Jay and Rich said to wear Christmas stuff because of frozen empire. But then Mike wears a pumpkin and ruins the theme.

I assumed they're filming in a warehouse in Wisconsin and it was cold that day. Or they were bored.

I found out on a bag of Doritos

"Listen! ... Do you smell that?"

That one line might be better than all the "comedy" lines from the 4 follow ups

I always laughed at egons line in part 2. “I want to run gynecological tests on the mother”

I like how, during that exchange, you can see the cleaner trying to put out the fire with a spray.

Also, here's some food for brain rot. People are already pissy about the lesbian ghost romance, right? Well how about this, Phoebe Spengler is supposed to be 15, and Melody is 16, so it's like young love, a first crush, that sort of thing. But Melody was 16 _when she died_, and they don't say how long she's been a ghost for. If it's been longer than two years, does she count as technically over 18? If so, I'm sure someone out there would probably find that problematic. Also Rich needs more credit for coming up with Ghayst.

My last nitpick is plot holes/plot conveniences. If Winston has been funding all this important ghost research and building a new ghost lab, why didn't the main team of Ghostbusters know about it until it was important to the plot? Wolf Flintmore's girlfriend is on their team and he didn't even know they existed? Why was Winston funding the development of advanced ghostbustering gear while letting the Spengler family continue to use 40 year old equipment and drive a 65 year old car that's actively breaking down? If the firehouse is so important to the safety of the world because it was a nexus point between worlds, why was he letting it fall into total disrepair for so long?

The ghost trap on top of the car was also used in the NES and Sega Master System games, too!

The whole notion of "pop culture perception of what the original film was like" describes the Blair Witch sequel from 2000. It was about people who were obsessed with the first movie and tried to recreate it. As opposed to just being an actual sequel.

Made by Terminal Reality. _Published_ by Atari.

There's Ghostbusters comics written by fans of the original and they wrote a bunch and people really seemed to dig that stuff. They even had a crossover with the movie counterparts in a multiversal sort of way like Mike was joking about. The 80s/90s comics also has a sequel to the Aliens movie where they give the story of Newt as a grown up as opposed to her death in the third. They also have badass Terminator sequels. The Telltale video games of Back To The Future were written by the same writer of the movies. These franchises have so many sequels in other media, particularly comics, but none of these "fans" give a shit unless it's on the big screen. There's also great Prometheus (Aliens) comics for people that wanted something more from the second movie (Covenant ) and it does all sorts of crazy genetic combinations and ideas. I can't make the entire list but, for the love of god, make an effort to experience some of these instead of just sitting and waiting for Hollywood to disappoint you yet again like a good little boy. 😮‍💨

The music is awesome during that scene

That's my favorite scene, still think about it once in a while out of nowhere for some reason haha

And they're talking about God, religion, and they're quoting bible verses. It's such a good mood-builder and it's so ominous.

Yep. I haven't seen ghostbusters since i was a kid, so about 20 years ago or so, and I still remember that scene. Really sticks with you.

It's a Ghostbusters movie in 2024, you have to just start drinking the moment the movie starts if that's your criteria.

That’s what’s so weak about it.

Nobody likes THESE kids. Nobody likes THIS family. There are plenty of movies with kids and families that people (and even Mike) genuinely do like. Goonies, E.T., Stand By Me, The Sandlot, Superbad, Lost Boys, A Christmas Story; stuff like that. Ghostbusters really was just about four schlubs looking for a job, and that's all it ever needed to be. So, please, Hollywood, stop. It's already dead.

Tragedy.

Damn, a movie so bad that it killed Blue Brothers

My dad was and still is a diehard Blues Brothers fan, which of course makes me one too. When Blues Brothers 2000 came out, he took me to see it, and some of his buddies even came along. Years later I asked him if he remembered Blues Brothers 2000. He replied “I try not to.” In that movies defense, it does have a good soundtrack.

It's the best way to stay sane these days; in the unlikely event that a sequel/reboot/soft seaboot actually turns out to be good, you get a nice little surprise, without having to suffer the hype/disappointment cycle.

Pay for your sins

You chose the form of our destructor. You FUCK.

Apparently Ghostbusters 2 was a contractual agreement that nobody wanted to do. It shows in the final product. And although it doesn't come close to the brilliance of the first film, it was still enjoyable. Not too shabby. The amazing chemistry of the original cast really kept it from completely falling apart. With that I would have loved to see a proper Ghostbusters 3 done in the early 90s, completing a trilogy and perhaps having an opportunity to really end on a high note. According to Dan Aykroyd that is essentially what we got with Ghostbusters: The Video Game, minus Sigourney Weaver which would have been a big boost. For my tastes, Ghostbusters is not an interchangeable group of people who put on suits and fire off their proton packs. They are Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Egon Spengler and Winston Zeddemore. It's their comedic timing, chemistry and comradery that makes the Ghostbusters so special.

Nah, because a big part of what makes bite-sized social media content work is that it's dirt cheap and fast to shoot, edit, and publish. That's what allows it to be topical/trendy and feel 'authentic'. And they're free. Hollywood can't pay movie stars and unionized productions on an ad-driven monetization model. There's also the para-social relationship factor; no one is going to trick themselves into feeling like they're friends with A-list movie stars just because a movie is chopped up into 5 minute slices and shot in portrait.

​​​​@@hughJAnd celebrity opinions can be easily bought while content creators are usually honest enough to go after corporations like giving a negative review on a bad video game, calling out MLM (multilevel marketing) companies, or discussing slimy business practices. There are still shills, of course, but there are even creators who call them out too. There are entire communities devoted to investigating and calling out bad business practices which is harder to do when you're a celebrity who doesn't want to lose your job or connections in different industries.

Just needs to tattoo "NEVER WATCH ANY SEQUELS" and he'll be fine. I genuinely can't think of any sequels besides Terminator 2 and Aliens that weren't unnecessary.

@@korganrocks3995 Godfather 2, The Road Warrior, The Raid 2, The Empire Strikes Back, Dawn of the Dead... and those are just obvious, popular examples.

@@Mantis42I enjoyed the heck out of Home Alone 2 and Die Hard 2 as a kid, but that doesn't mean they're necessary. A New Hope ended with the Death Star exploding, but the Empire and Darth Vader were still a threat, so in that case making a sequel makes sense. I've not seen any of the Godfather movies, so no comment there. The first Raid and Mad Max movies are very low budget, so the sequels are basically "let's do that again but with proper production values". I have no problem with that kind of "sequel", since then you could just watch that one and skip the first. My point is that while something like the Toy Story franchise are all well-made movies, I'd prefer if the people behind them got together and made something new instead. For example, Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg made Hot Fuzz and The World's End instead of Shaun of the Dead 2 and Shaun of the Dead 3, which I think everyone would agree is the better outcome, except the odd hardcore zomromcom fan. Also, the more movies a franchise gets, the worse they tend to get. I suppose a good compromise would be "only watch sequels if you hear they're actually good", but at that point you might as well expand that to "don't bother watching a movie unless you hear good things", which seems like such a no-brainer to me, yet most people seem incapable of following that simple rule.

@@korganrocks3995 I guess I just don't understand your criteria because Terminator and Alien were both complete stories in their first film and didn't need to be continued. If you just said most, almost all, sequels are unnecessary I think everyone would agree. The part about not watching movies that don't interest you or don't sound good is a simple and true principle.

Me too but I really don't feel like I'm missing out. Advertising has gotten way out of control.

I can sincerely say the usual multi-hour long Compilations of my preferred channels LPs are a better use of time

or a thanksgiving turkey

Get real!

Jay's hair saga is like Rich's laugh.

I imagine he did his Palpatine laugh

Did he go on to write lesbians vampires

"Lesbians equal ratings." - Howard Stern

It's impossible to both convey and recreate the comedy of what I call the "church giggles." You are laughing so hard because you're trying to suppress it and don't want to get called out. As soon as you get called out or try to explain it, it becomes unfunny, so your laughing appears cruel and immature. But even if you get called out and things go back to normal, one look at the person who made you laugh will cause it all to come streaming back to you. I'm imagining Mike thinking he's OK after 5 minutes of laughing, and then looking at the "slut lesbian" dude who has very serious look on his face, and just losing it again. The whole time you're mortified that someone will turn all attention on you with a "What is so funny?!" and you know it will not be able to justify what appears to be pure ecstasy at the expense of someone else.

Like when Beavis and Butthead couldn't laugh or they'd get expelled?

The millenial generation is trapped in a sad, illusory, eternal youth. Not even birthing children or buying a home can once and for all shatter this false notion that we're still "the kids these days."

To decrepit elderly men like RLM 39 is basically teen

And a lot of modern teens act all detached and blasé like she does. Culture has barely progressed since 9/11 which is why Mean Girls for instance holds up and looks like it could’ve been made about current high schoolers. Other than the flip phones have become smartphones. Besides, we’re talking about a ghost 👻 lol who presumably passed on many moons uhhh maaaad long ago.

He said or meant like "a" version of a modern teen aubrey plaza

Sure but she was introduced to the world as April Ludgate, who is basically a template for how much of today’s youth act, talk, and interact. Blasé, detached, and depressed…And rightfully so! Besides, culture has mostly stagnated since the turn of this century and the big double skyscraper trouble. It’s why Mean Girls, a flick from 2004, looks like it could’ve been made about current high schoolers. Only now the flip-phones would be smartphones, and there would *maybe* be some references to streaming content, Tik Tok, worthless influencers, Andrew Tate, a meme or two, and exceedingly dumb slightly updated slang. Perhaps an active shucksing drill and a few aggressively asexual characters.

Kids think the new films are cool and the old ones are boring. It's sad but true

It was always a pretty nerdy movie.

That’s exactly the point - it wasn’t ever cool. It was just funny.

God damn it’s a super embarrassing time to like anything

Kids today think the old ones suck. Trust me, I get the group feeds. In fact, the narrative now is that if you only like the originals, you're "not a Ghostbusters fan" because it's just "that comedy from your youth". Actual quote.

Isn't there a fart noise in the HITB intro?

Summarizes Rich/Mike dynamic well

Dry fart wet fart could their new rotten tomatoes eating scale

Their next quiz show

Way better than fresh/rotten

Isn't it weird they made the girl with a stereotypical haircut and absent father the lesbian? What did Disney meant by this?

There was no story about a lesbian. Its 100% made up in people's heads. Phoebe is a socially awkward girl who is just looking for a friend at a time when she's feeling low. This is the exact reason why they used to put cases of "the not gays" in 80s films as people are too stupid to understand that people can just be friends.

they call that “queer coded”

@@galenspikesmusic ain’t that when you wear a colored bandana in your back pocket?

Bet they jinxed it. Coming soon, Dark City: The Series.

Shut it down!

Would be an absolute joy/ breath of fresh air to have a Dark City experience (EXACTLY as it was in the early '00s). It was just a cool, one-off premise, small in scale, with a unique look and good actors. I know stuff like this winds up on streaming but none of the new films reviewed in this channel have ever interested me
