I've never seen the original films.

The first one is decent and fun. That's about it.

The second one has the most annoying antagonist of all time

I grew up watching it so I’m sure I have nostalgia goggles, but the first one is a lot of fun

This.

The Real Ghostbusters cartoon series is pretty good, for like the first 3-4 years. But when they push Slimer to the forefront, the quality takes a nosedive.

i thought this came out two years ago and it just didn’t make a splash

[archersangel]

It's been delayed because of COVID like 4 times.

I googled it like a month ago because I couldn't remember if it was even real

[bttrsondaughter]

they lifted the embargo on this really early. i'm excited to see mckenna grace in a big main role though, i think she's gonna blow up after this

[goodnight2u]

I feel like she has been lately playing every female main character's childhood self lol

[bttrsondaughter]

she's been doing that for a while lol. young tonya harding, young carol danvers, young sabrina spellman, young emma swan, young theo crain. hopefully this and handmaid's tale gets her cast in more stuff where she doesn't have to play the young version of someone

[goodnight2u]

i burst out laughing when i recognized her as the childhood self of the main character in malignant. they don't look anything the same!

[tucker]

Is this coming directly to HBO max or anything like that?

That would be fun

[queenursula]

I don't think Sony is doing anything like that.
