So I Saw GHOSTBUSTERS Frozen Empire... 

Amazed that Ernie Hudson is 78, dude looks at the oldest 60.

“Follow That Hearse.” The Real Ghostbusters season four episode seven from 1988. Ecto-1 gets possessed by a Native American earth spirit who was corrupted by toxic waste.

Is it just me or has it been a little time since we’ve heard The Good The Bad and The Nerdy glad to hear it again

Ghostbusters International would be a great idea.

I like the idea that a guy who can control fire feels like a callback to the first ghostbusters where they established they weren't researching ghosts specifically, but were researching paranormal abilities in people. And they finally found one. Like 40 years later.

It feels like they’re setting up a ghost busters international, especially with the stuff Winston is doing

Film wasn't perfect. I think they could've made the villain more interesting/scary. There's a lot going on and maybe it needed more of a focus. But I overall enjoyed it. Saw it twice.

I'm just glad the studio didn't think " oh we need to cut this thing down to 90 minutes "

"As a fan, I felt serviced" - BNC '24

Glad I'm not the only one associating the mini puffs as gremlins instead of minions lol.

I mean Casper is canon in the GB world...😂😂

Ghostbusters International in the style of a Spiderverse film would be incredible

I loved the cartoon series The Real Ghostbusters, that’s what Frozen Empire is in live action but with an strong emotional undercurrent and hits the right beats to make some fun “music” metaphorically speaking; I give the movie an 8.5 out of 10

That was definitely an episode. Ecto- 1 was possessed for an episode. Also, sky beams are back baby!!

The reason, in movie, for going to the library was to hopefully get the chant that opens the orb translated, or at least more information about the language. It wasn't just about the library ghost.

Dude, as a massive Ghostbusters fan, I agree with everything you said. 100% spot on review.

I love it when the little Green spud eats the possessor after he takes over the run away pizza.❤😂

Ya know when you first mentioned the fire Master thing I was like oh come on really? And then I thought for a second and exactly what you said was like well between stay puff and the statue of liberty honestly fire benders is pretty tame lmao 🤣

To be honest frozen empire was a 9 out of 10 movie for me, it was a bit slow, maybe a previous encounter with the boss ghost would have help but overall I watched it twice. The last movie that got me to do that was endgame. Dan aykroyd was awesome along with the new cast.

There was no build up because the build up was behind the scenes. They focused on the characters rather than the boss because that was there real focus of the movie. And I think you will grow to appreciate that once they are done with this trinity.

I actually think making Phoebe befriend the girl ghost (Melody) and giving her an alterior motive made Garraka’s arrival scene have greater dread because of HOW it returned, by manipulating someone through false affection. He needed a human to speak the words but he only can control ghosts so he found a loophole. It was sort of this movies versions of “clear your mind…Ray what did you do!?” And in turn makes Phoebe the one to have to come up with brass infused proton pack while also being the one to fire it up. Good setup and payoff IMO. One thing I would have liked to see but perhaps they’re saving it for future installments is the Ghostbusters being sucked into the containment unit somehow (RGB style) and having to battle Garraka there. Maybe in the next one the device that allows Phoebe to enter ghost form for 2 mins is upgraded to allow for longer ghost transmutations and enough time to run a necessary mission inside.

I think that Phoebe befriending the ghost girl should’ve been the plot of the next movie. Think about it. The conflict of frozen empire could’ve been “the ghost busters getting a foothold in New York and living up to the originals” and then the next movie could’ve been “are all ghosts evil?” I think that’s ways more interesting then a romantic subplot that, while cute, didn’t have nearly enough time to breath.

I do like to think that the Casper movies are canon to the Ghostbusters universe, we did see Dan Akroyd as Ray cameo in Casper

So the villain is Rita Repulsa?Nice. “After 10,000 years, I'm free!”.

This movie was dope, especially after the second viewing. Probably my second favorite GB movie right behind '84. So glad you enjoyed it!

A Ghostbusters Proton Gundam is all we need in the next film for when they go to Japan to fight a demon kaiju.

Thank you for not hating on the 2016 movie I actually LOVE that film so it's great to hear you mention it in a positive way 😁

First time viewer, ...liked and subd! I loved some Intro comments so I was intrigued. Kept watching... Got lost..loved it. and in the end it was your final comments that made me say ....yes! Hit all those buttons!

Why can’t anyone just be happy that we’re in a time for new Ghostbusters content? It’s not a perfect movie but I still enjoyed it enough to see it 3 times already! I do wish that it could have been more scary. But I was happy with the nostalgia. This is my favorite franchise and I want it to be successful to move forward with sequels and expand on the Universe. It could finally turn into The Real Ghostbusters

Thanks for the review Andre

Wow best review I have heard in my life, solid.

I really enjoyed this film

Glad to see you back i miss your black nerd rants wish you brought that back

I think your review is pretty spot on actually. I enjoyed it. I'll see it again

This was a great nod to Real Ghostbusters. They even did an animated one where a ghost tried to get one of the busters to let the ghosts out.

Great review!

Very nice video Black Nerd Comedy Ghostbusters is awesome buddy especially extreme Ghostbusters 👍❤️

You crack me up almost every time. I love the movie. And you seem very cool and super smart. Also I believe you right about echo 1 being haunted in the cartoon

Thank you! This is the review I feel this film deserves, it was a fun, entertaining movie that had a lot of stuff going on. Maybe it tried to do a bit too much but what it did do, it did very well. It's a worthy entry into the GB universe. Why so many reviewers are giving this film a hard time is beyond me but you sir are in the minority it seems that really get where this movie was coming from, humourwise, storywise and just the feel of the film in general, so once again thank you for the fair review that does the film justice.

Great review

Great review, agree with your points. Watched it yesterday and love this movie. It's really all I hoped for and more.

They missed an opportunity to bring back the puff marshmallow man but this time as a snowman.

There's gotta be some deleted scenes, 'cause it felt like they were going to get into some mystery over how Melody died, with them showing her hanging in a diner with her same name and how that might relate to why she hasn't been able to cross over yet. But the movie was already so dense, I totally get why they'd cut that out. Still curious to see what they'd be, though. Also yeah, the Ghostbusters organization is big enough in New York now that it'd totally make sense for them to franchise out the operation. I'd watch that with that kind of premise I think.

Andre, dude, bringing some yokai into this? That's a sick idea.

Love the new intro! I dunno how new it is since this is the first vid I’ve seen in a while but I love it! Whattavibeee

This movie felt like an episode the cartoon with its villain.

Great review Andre 🙌🏾

I'm glad I found someone that didn't just focus on Phoebe's story line. I get that it was a big part, but people made it way to controversial than it needed to be just because she befriended a ghost. I personally like the friendship betrayal story lines in movies, I think it's a very interesting touch. There was so much more than that to the movie and I'm glad it got covered here! He made many great points and pointed out things I never knew or thought about going into watching the movie. I personally enjoyed it and will come back to it for a good laugh and scare!

I cried inside at the end, seeing "For Ivan". :(

I loved ECTO 1A getting possessed, and I thought it sounded like the People Busters car (sort of sounded like a cross between that ecto siren and the containment unit alarm) from the 'Flip Side' episode of RGB in season 4. After the movie I went back to watch this episode.

Great review! informative and funny.

Showcasing, hit the spot there. They have opened the door to more films and series. Bring it on

Always love your commentaries. Definitely too much going on, slimer sequences were good though

The 2 things I think they could have cut out was the Phoebe's ghost friend and the Trevor Slimer thing.

Ngl i blacked out while you were trying to explain the plot 😂

Had so much fun watching it. Felt so good to have a proper sequel to a franchise like GB. Used up the old VHS tape of the first movie when I was little but this is what I always hoped it would be like. Not perfect but very grateful I got to experience this movie. Great review also! 😊

As someone who saw Ghostbusters 2016 in theaters, I'm probs doing the best option I can by waiting for this to come to streaming platforms. I absolutely loved GB 2016 when I saw it with a friend that year, and, I'm glad all y'all loved the movie and franchise enough to show this much feedbacc for it. Keep it up!

Good work man

Awesome job Andre with movie drop a like.

As a Real Ghostbusters Cartoon Fan it definitely felt more like a "Ghostbusters TV Series Pilot" than a "Featured Film" but that's not necessarily a bad thing! ✨ I knew they kinda had to make something so they could have a "Fully Equipped & Business" Ghostbusters after the previous movie & this certainly leaves the door open for more Ghostbusters Stuff that might not necessarily have to piggyback of The Orignal Movies as much now 🤔 Still I had FUN with it & watched it with Family who had FUN too! It's a Good Family FUN Film 😆

I would like to see Sony do animated films based off Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters. Even the latter needs more attention, as it would be great to see Garrett, Roland, Kylie, and Eduardo get a resurgence, since their brief comic book appearances.

Let us remember Ray and Winston play the GB theme song, and start to sing it at the bday party in ghostbusters 2.

14:12 "where are the Texas Ghosts?!" Billy & Jay chased them away with all their Bad Jokes ... cause they're Chodes! 😝

Excellent review. Spot on. Great point about the the villain build ups in first 2 movies compared to this one. Thats the key missing although maybe movie would've been more busier haha

I don't think that the Ghostbusters 👻 movies will ever be as good as the first two movies back in the 1980s.👻👻👻👻👻👻👻

It's a really big shame we didn't see Garraka control any of the monsters for his army.

HOT RICE Opening brotha!!!! Cool🥶 Review dude! 🤙🏾🤙🏾

Jason reitman better have Sam Hain and The Boogie Man ready for his 3rd Ghostbusters movie.😂

🤓Great intro Andre!👻🚫🎥🎬

Interesting Intro, Andre. 🥳

7:31 That was one of the best scenes in the movie. Cause Winston was telling Ray some real shit. That was their nod and wink to the audience saying "We hear y'all." 😅

@Black Nerd Comedy I feel like the Ghostbusters should have busted the Possessor. The Possessor felt unnecessary as Garraka, ultimately, didn't need what the Possessor was trying to get. Not to mention it failed to get it anyway. Also, the fact that Winston had the Possessor trapped in his Secret Facility meant the Ghostbusters were able to bust it once before. So them not being able to bust it now makes no sense. In the Original Movie, the Ghostbusters busted multiple ghosts before they went after Gozer and I think that is what made the pacing great. In Frozen Empire, they bust a sum total of ONE ghost before Garraka comes out and that's the Sewer Dragon at the beginning of the movie. Think about that. They, literally, went the entire movie without busting one ghost. The Possessor should have been the mid-point bust to balance the pacing. Also, am I the only who thinks Peck as the Mayor, while funny, makes absolutely no sense? Like, how does the guy who almost nuked Manhattan by shutting off the Containment Unit get elected as Mayor? And it's not like it was an accident. The Ghostbusters told him what would happen if he shut it off and he did it anyway. He knowingly, and willingly, nearly nuked Manhattan. Those aside, I loved the movie. It was properly balanced between the new and old. And both Patton and Kumail were surprisingly well balanced between comedy and drama. I loved the Firemaster stuff, as cheesy as it was. I couldn't help but think that the Firemaster was a massive dig at Dragonball Evolution and M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender and I'm here for it! As far as cramming too much into one movie, perhaps they should have split this into two movies?

That's EXACTLY what I loved about this movie--it felt like a feature length episode. It's my favorite GB movie since the original 2. It was the first GB movie that didn't feel like it had to carry the weight of what came before it. I'm probably gonna go see it again. I didn't think I'd come away thinking this but I do hope they make another one!

Good review

Like the new intro! Well, new to me.

I really liked the sequence where the ghosts were about to escape in the research station bc it gave horror vibes

I took my mom to see it. We both liked it a lot tbh. We totally get the criticisms, but we liked just as much as Afterlife. I hope it’s not over though. They probably won’t make it, but I would love a third one without most of the legacy cast.

Glad someone has the ability to enjoy this movie and not feel like they had to tear it down to fit in with other debbie downer over sensitive critics. LOVED this movie. :)

The only complaint I had about this movie is exactly what Andre pointed out- there was a bit too much going on at once. It made it feel choppy- mainly the first act- there were just too many interesting storylines going on at once. Like all the ideas in this were good- they just seemed cut down. That causes there to be less time spent with each storyline- hence feeling a tad undercooked to me. That said- I still had a blast with it and it felt like a Ghosbusters movie to me. I'd give it like a "B" level score. I hope they do one more just to make it a canon of 5 films.

Wow “The good, the bad and the nerdy” haven’t heard that in a long time

That “Statue of liberty move with a NES Advantage controller” line had me 😂😂😂😂

Yep... Good friends... Roommates even... 👀

Ecto-1 was p[ossessed in the cartoon series. Tons of references in fact. I hope we get more and get it soon. They have a good thing going, so lets keep it going. Glad its not owned by WB

Omg it feels like forever since I've heard the good, the bad and the nerdy 🥹

random note, did anyone else felt like the parents were trying to mimic the Sandlot? SMom: 'Run around get dirty, get into trouble for crying out loud.' GBMom: 'be a normal rebellious teen' Sandlot: flipping between calling stepdad his first name before feeling comfortable with 'dad'. GB: Mom's boyfriend of couple of years, somewhat parental figure, yet isn't married, don't know what to call yourself, yeah we're calling you 'dad' at the end of the film.

It was a decent time. Not amazing, but not terrible. Very much a “came & went” kinda movie. Fun time for fans tho

It was really fun and it did have a lot of plot points but what was interesting is that they all flowed into each other.

100% Agree with this review Andre! I felt the movie was fun and I liked what they did with most of the characters! My only issue with it was that it's kind of a mess plot wise and needed to be tightened up lol.

i would love for a live action ghostbusters tv series

I saw it and loved it for the most part. Some characters felt underused and i would've liked more scenes with Garraka. Also we could've used a montage or two. If there's another one i'd like to see more Dana and Peter.

It wasn’t perfect, but I had a lot of fun with it. Yes, there’s a lot of forced in references and fire bending is a thing in a ghostbusters movie for some reason, but I’d still rather watch this movie than Ghostbusters 2016 any day.

Damn, dude, your intro was inspired! It referenced the major issue with this film!

14:09 Holy ghost cow, I was thinking the exact same thing leaving the theater. I mean, imagine Ghost Busters in Egypt fighting mummies!! Or going to Europe and hunting ghosts in an acnient castle!

Ecto 1 episode of real gbs was my favorite. I loved seeing it in this movie.

Akaroyd has been toying around with the idea of going to Scotland, and I'm all for it. It's a perfect chance to introduce Samhain !!

When I can't decide if I want to watch a movie, I come here and hear what Andre says. If there are any parts worth the watch, he will note them along with setting realistic expectations for the rest of the movie.

Loved your review 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🌞🌞🌞👻👻👻🚫🚫🚫🚫 Thank you !!!

2:00 Haaaaa! 😂 I was thinking the same thing. I didn't mind all the cameos. Having Ray Parker Jr is as important as having Luther Vandross sing One Shinning Moment after the basketball tournament. They are total must-haves.

Great review. One thing, didn’t they already establish the song was a song in universe when in II they dance to it at the kids birthday in the opening scenes? Either way makes sense because the word would have spread about them after events w Gozer/ Stay Puft and in universe songs, videos and cereal etc would have existed. So in summary, I liked that too :) added to the world in new but organic way

they should have done a shot for shot live action remake scene of the ghostbusters cartoon opening
