#533 - "What If: Casting Had Been Very Different?" - August 19, 2019

This week on the show, we continue our “What If” series with another thought experiment: what if some of the alternative castings mentioned over the years had actually gotten the role? What if John Candy had played Louis Tully? What if Jeff Goldblum had played Egon Spengler? And what if Eddie Murphy had played Winston Zeddemore? All of these and more are explored as Troy and Chris think of reasons the...

Not necessarily the items that have the most monetary value, but those that hold emotional or sentimental...

#531 - "What If: Ghostbusters II Was a Bigger Success?" - August 5, 2019

This week on the show, a few quick news items and then an interesting thought experiment: what if Ghostbusters II had been the biggest movie of Summer 1989, beating out Batman among others for box office gold? And what if that meant a third sequel would have been made around 1991? What would it have meant for the franchise? Would we still be getting the film we’re getting in 2020, or would the state...

#526 - "Dan Aykroyd Appreciation and Canada Day" - July 1, 2019

On this, the day which celebrates the birth of Dan Aykroyd and the unification of the colonies to become Canada, it occurred to us (Chris) we’ve never done a Dan Aykroyd appreciation clip show.

First up, Chris and Troy have given the new album release of Elmer Bernstein’s score a listen and it’s fantastic, but why are some of the tracks out of order?
