Real Ghostbusters DUB Comparison 

Kath Soucie is an incredibly talented voice actress. After all, she's Princess Sally from Sonic SatAM. But because of Q5, she plays Janine like she's 8 and constantly looking for her lost Barbie.

I know Kath Soucie is a tremendous voice actor, I've heard and enjoyed her in a number of roles, but anytime a grown-ass woman has to do a "baby" voice to play a character that's a grown-ass woman, it just activates the revulsion part of my brain so hard.

It's amazing how Peter got a new voice and instantly became completely dead inside.

I like hearing Lorenzo Music’s voice, he’s like one of those amazing people that you love to hang out with, because of his calm voice. Especially when he voice Garfield and Peter in the real ghostbusters series. He really was the best actor ever.

Can't tell it enough, Phelan's analyzis on Lorenzo Music's voice acting is spot on. Essentially, it's what sets apart a voice actor from a "dubber". Voice acting is not just about uttering something, your prosody must underline the tone of the line. That's why there's "actor" in the term. In a scene mostly reliant on dialogues rather than actions, it's all the more important.

I love when phelous talks real Ghostbusters

Janine: "There's something wrong with Peter. He said I was useless after coming out of the rain." Egon: "He seems to be possessed by Class M Old Man Ghost." Ray: "At least he's not possessed by Uncle Joey."

I still can not fathom that J. Michael Straczynski is the same guy who both wrote for The Real Ghostbusters and helped create Babylon 5. 🤯

Phelous’s dedication to his craft never ceases to amaze me.

Not gonna lie, even though I was already an adult when I saw that episode for the first time, that scream of Peter before getting fully possesed was still super intense to me.

Love your Real Ghostbusters content man

I have a theory; Kath wasn't just hired to make Janine sound nicer but with how she was directed, it's almost like they wanted her to sound YOUNGER, almost like they felt the original sounded too 'old' or using shitty corpo buzzwords 'mature'.

Love Ash during the post credits scene where she’s like “Who ya calling Slimer?! Hmph!” 😹

Coulier-Venkman never knows Wat's going on.

A Coulier re-dub? I HAAATE that!

That creepy shot of Mrs. Rogers watching the Ghostbusters arrive at her house gives me heavy "Alone In The Dark" vibes. A very similar shot happens in the opening of that game - a game which was a direct inspiration for the 1st Resident Evil game.

Been awhile since I’ve seen Phelous talk about the real ghostbusters, so this is a pleasant surprise.

I'm glad you brought up how different Egon sounded earlier on, as it's something that I always found pretty fascinating once I noticed it

Thanks for bringing more attention to these rare episodes of The Real Ghostbusters. I worked with Spook Central to clean up the sound, put them with some pretty pictures and recreate them. It was a lot of fun to see these after so many years. Now preserved for all time no matter who hates them! 😂 Great video!

The weird line splicing in this episode was very Bevenfield-esque

Not to sound weird, but I love the clips with Little! Phelous watching the Ghostbuster episodes, he looks adorable in them lol

I love that we finally got another of these in depth episode comparisons. Hopefully we get another redub epsiode video at some point. I remember those claymation ABC ad bumpers... And now I feel old.

I imagine they redubbed the end credits to avoid paying royalties to Ray Park Jr.

That was a great review and seeing Ash at the end was sweet, sorry for your loss

Aww seeing you as a kid watching Ghostbusters is so cute. It was sweet.

Lmfaooooo Janine in the redudb sounds like LiL from Rugrats 😂😂😂

Redubbing in the Real Ghostbusters cartoon makes me think of the Tom Servo comment in the MST3K episode with Devil Fish, "Just because you can edit doesn't mean you should."

another year goes by, and Phelous uncovers yet another redub of the real ghostbusters, this show simply cannot catch a break

Mrs. Rogers honestly was one of my fav episodes (the original dubs of course)...But man was it ever scary the first time watching it as a kid! Such solid storytelling in that first season! Aren't we glad J. Michael was the story editor for the syndication! And check out Mini-Phelous @ 7:15!!!

Learning about this show (and the 80’s/90’s in general) is a real treat😊

its always nice when you can tell someones making the content they want to make😊

Who honestly thought it would be a good idea to re-dub these episodes? I hate how they thought they had to "fix" these episodes

The movie and then cartoons of “The Real Ghostbusters” are a huge part of my childhood memories lol… along with Beetlejuice and it’s cartoon style 😂 I was at the perfect age, thinking the cartoon was literally the real life movie continuing! But I love how he points out the crazy stuff and slight differences between versions of the same cartoon! Really cool, keep rocking bro! 🤟😝

It’s always great to get a real ghostbusters video

I imagine they made Ghosts R Us the premiere episode just because of that "She said it!" moment when Janine says "No, Ma'am. This is the REAL Ghostbusters."

Well, it seems like you're really busting some ghosts in your research! I'm glad you're taking a closer look at The Real Ghostbusters and getting to the bottom of those changes. Maybe you'll uncover some supernatural secrets in the process!

I just my finger on why the Kath Soucie version sounds so weird. it's that it sounds like Lil from Rugrats trying to sound like adult.

What a fun episode! I really loved seeing the story board differences, it's so interesting to see the process from such an early stage up through an entire totally necessary and absolutely critical to the integrity of the show redub

25:31 I don’t know why, but Coulier Venkman asking Janine like it’s a question made me laugh out loud!

Okay, that footage of your younger self watching The Real Ghostbusters was brilliant. Did you know you had that, did you have yo source it directly from a video-8 cassette or some such camcorder-y thing? I'm also pretty amazed that your haircut has barely changed style!

D'aww! Look at little baby Phelan, watching his scary cartoons and learning how to be sarcastic!

Ghostbuster Phelous busting on Peter Coulier always makes me feel good.

Man, I love those old ABC commercial bumpers. Thats good nostalgia. That Kath Soucie take calling him Dr. Venkman sounds like she's flirting with him, not taking a shot at his credentials. WTH is that alternate credits theme? I've never heard that in my life and now I wish I never had.

Who you going to call? Old man! Old man : busting makes me feel all right.

Wow that Kidavision intro and the ABC ad bumpers are massive kicks in the nostalgia.

Janine, you've changed. ;) Love the in-depth analysis of this episode from storyboard to production!

Honestly it's weird how I don't have the revulsion when Phelous compares Venkman's lines back to back, but just the overall emotion when I hear Coolia's performance in dialogue is just a big ☹️ and I have never even watched the show

i just loved how laura summer screamed peter dont do it as it just made that scene more real and intense

Thanks for covering the crazy redub that we all found odd when rewatching the series...even on USA Cartoon Express and Fox Family Channel!

I love how much Phelan cares still. I remember the times when I did, before I realized that nothing really matters and we are all just passing.

27:15 That one actually hurt. Peter is about to release hell, but better not scream too loudly so we don't wake up the parents of the children watching.

You’ve no doubt seen it or read about it. The cast of The Real Ghostbusters got together to talk about the show and Coulier admitted he felt out of place there coming in and doing as he called a “schlocky” Bill Murray impression. Maurice Lamarch though chimed in to tell him that he did fine with doing his own version and distinguishing from Lorenzo Music rather than trying to mimic Music’s version as LaMarch said they switched horses halfway through. I’ll admit, Music was always better with deadpan humor than Coulier & it really shows that some people can’t pull off that kind of comedy well.

Coulier Venkmen's delivery can be summed up in a Simpsons Quote "Oops, I said the quiet part loud, and the loud part quiet..." When he's trying to do "Smarmy Venkmen, it feels like he's up 5 decibles from the entire cast, yet his screams sound way more subdued and like they're part of a schtick rather than screaming because a ghost just grabbed you.

I'd be curious to see Phelous cover that old Ghostbusters RPG from the 80s if he ever felt like it

Aww! That footage of you as a kid was so cute! 😊

Do you think you'll ever cover any of the four episodes in season 7? I'm amazed that season even exists with how short it is, I'm sure there's a hell of a tale behind it.

I remember watching this series when it would play the reruns when I was a kid, I remember more of the episodes when Peter was voiced by Lorenzo Music.

One of these days Cool-Venk will have a line that Phelous will actually like. And I will be there to see it...

Thank you for that as well as the adorable moments 😊😎

I remember when the real Ghostbusters was on Netflix in the UK that they put the abc dub of Slimer is that you on there. It actually fooled me into thinking i had watched all the pre Q5 episodes and only realized this when i went back to see how bad they were, only to be greeted with Music again. Im glad it was the only one tho. Now if only there was an East West dub. Slimer START TELLING

I don't hate Coulier with the fury of a thousand suns but...there's definitely a downgrade in performance.

I remember that rumor they went around for years that said that Mister Rogers was a Green Beret and served in Vietnam. Of course that rumor turned out to be totally not true.

I was expecting you to use that clip of the Dingo character going "Vat...?'

They literally changed her voice to sound like a young child/baby with Lil and Phil’s voice actor from Rugrats

What's really funny about that is that Dan Ackroyd originally wrote the role of Peter Venkman for John Belushi. If John had lived, the cartoon Peter Venkman's voice actor would have been doing a John Belushi impression. Also, originally Winston Zeddmore was going to have a much larger role and be played by Eddie Murphy, but he opted to do _Beverly Hills Cop_ instead. Imagine what the _Ghostbusters_ cartoon would have been like if that happened.

Aww, the return of baby Phelan!

The original version is still the very best. The first voice of Janine even sounded kinda sexy , but this one totally doesn’t.glad I have the first versions of these episodes on DVD.very good work on this video! I love the jokes about the scene where Peter Venkman states his name. Those made me laugh really hard! Great content as usual man!

I don't know if or think this is the case with these Ghostbusters prints, but for the longest time, my local ABC replaced the end theme of certain cartoons with the theme song of our local affiliate to hide the fact they stopped showing the national Saturday Morning feed at 11 for dull local shows. Basically to censor any reference to any shows that weren't coming up next on he channel so we can look forward to some dumb local candle pin bowling show. Anyway, nice to know there's a search for lost or hard to find media no one really wants, but need to be preserved.

12:10 and there ain't no doubt about it! - cue Randy Newman from Toy Story

I was just thinking about your Real Ghostbusters videos. Redubing previous episodes because one or two characters changed VAs seems like a waste of time. I'm pretty sure you don’t see cartoons really do that nowadays when that happens. In some cases, they give an in-universe reason why a character sounds different.

Oddly enough, the What demon had one egg and a case of beer for breakfast every morning..

Those vhs rips are fascinating. I was born in the year that the dead actor became the president 1980. So I'm old enough to remember how those old tapes would warp and how people would record on the low quality so they could maximize the type's time. That doesn't help with the nature degradation of the tapes. None of that is what fascinates me about them though. Nostalgic value can override the quality of the recordings. That was more or less for the 20 somethings that may not know about the ups and downs of vhs recordings. What interests me about them today is how they can serve as time capsules. Low quality or not they are functionally windows into the past. And the student of history can really appreciate them (oddly enough more so when they left the old commercials in; a lot can be gleamed about the zeitgeist of the time from them).

A Phelous review about something with Ghostbusters! It's gonna be a good day!! :D

Awwwwwn...☺ Baby spooked Phelous watching The Real Ghostbusters...🤭

Coulier's delivery of "No! I'm not! I'm Peter... Peter Venkman!" makes him sound like a surfer dude.

Sweet that I found this after seeing the redubbed The Bogeyman Cometh on here the other day. Neat find. Of course, it's still weird seeing Coulier's Venkman going after Slimer like that. Fun fact: this was my first ever episode. If it wasn't for that possessed Peter scene near the end, I could have shown this in school since our town didn't have cable.

Your RGB videos are my favorite!

I like that Ash got a cameo in this one, doing what she did best. :D

Oh silly, I'm not watching you for "sarcasm", I'm watching you for nerdgasm! I'm in full grandma mode, ready to listen to a half an hour rant about an old kids show)

I wonder if there are demons named Wy, Wen, Ware, and Hu...

Venkmann in the thumbnail looks like how everyone feels about hearing Coulier!Venkmann again. Or he's been taking drugs. His brain must be like seriously messed up

I genuinely have a little appreciation for Coulier, but not for this roll. Hes ok, but just not used/directed well so I dont fault him much. Lorenzo was just to good. Thanks for the episode, these are fun to go back and look at the differences like this. When I was a kid, My mom would go to this one assisted living care facility during the week and take me with her as she helped with a client there. Id sit and watch this show while she worked so its always had a soft spot with me-for the most part.

Wat were they thinking? The re-dub sounds so soulless.

Why don't they just replace Venkman with Garfield the cat as a Ghostbuster?

Gee it's such a shame the DVD release of Real Ghostbusters doesn't have the redubs. Wait no it's not!

Mrs Rodgers episode scared the crap out of me as a kid

Huh, didn't know this episode was re-dubbed as well. This should be interesting. On a side note (and speaking of which), are you gonna do a review of the "Mean Green Teen Machine" episode? I feel like it'd be more up your alley considering you like TMNT as well, lol.

Yay! More Real Ghostbusters!

Coulier's Venkman sounds more like Rick Moranis as Bob Mckenzie than Bill Murray. He doesn't even sound that much like Caddyshack Bill Murray, which is what Coulier was trying to go for.

I started watching The Real Ghostbusters because of your videos about it, and Mrs. Rogers Neighborhood ended up being one of my favorite episodes, as well as the one about the Sandman.

Great Video Phelous!!! I really want to get the ABC redubs from the Spook Central for some of the episodes! Possessed Peter is the memory of the episode! I thought that Possessed Peter was both creepy and cool!

I think Dave Coulier's Peter had his moments, and he's not as bad as you make him out to be. However, Lorenzo Music is the superior Peter Venkman.

I was looking for that ABC bumper! Thanks for uploading!😁

This man is a national treasure. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

17:02 UK edit: Wat is a dominant force of the "next dimension". Leader of a legion of evil "heroes".

With redubbed theme tunes the Mask cartoon has an interesting variation - both seasons have the exact same theme, but it was rerecorded for season 2 so the cadence on some lines sounds different. It's most noticeable in the opening lines "I gotcha with my winning smile, I'm a livin' lesson in flair and style, you just can't help but stare at my savoir faire!"

omg baby Phelous intently watching cartoons is adorable

Who Wat When Where and Why?

Winston's line about recognizing the chair might have been cut because he's "the driver," and drivers aren't supposed to be _funny._ That would scare the kids or something. Also, cutting makes more space for commercials.

Thanks for the dose of wholesome with footage of baby Phelous watching Real Ghostbusters
