S3 E11 GHOSTBUSTERS II (1989): Underrated Sequel or Childhood Ruined?!

WHO YA GONNA CALL… AGAIN?! Ghostbusters Month continues on Stop Ruining My Childhood! This week, Steve and Megan revisit Ghostbusters II (1989), the sequel that brought back Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Egon Spengler, and Winston Zeddemore for another supernatural adventure through New York City. Five years after saving the world, the Ghostbusters are out of business, New York has turned against them, and a river of pink slime is feeding on everyone's negativity. Oh, and there's a creepy painting of Vigo the Carpathian trying to take over a baby. You know… family entertainment! 😂 But nearly four decades later, does Ghostbusters II deserve its reputation as an inferior sequel? Or have we been too hard on it? In this episode, we're breaking down: 👻 The Wayback Machine: What was happening in 1989 when Ghostbusters returned? 🎬 History & Fun Facts: Behind-the-scenes stories, returning cast members, and the making of the sequel. 💚 The Breakdown: Vigo, the Scoleri Brothers, mood slime, the Statue of Liberty, and everything that made this sequel memorable. 😂 The Good, the Bad & the Ugly: What worked, what didn't, and whether the sequel recaptured the magic of the original. ⚖️ Our Verdict: Did Ghostbusters II SAVE, SURVIVE, or RUIN our childhood? 🎁 GHOSTBUSTERS MONTH GIVEAWAY!
