An episode where Ashley thinks she's seen this movie before, but learns that she most certainly has not.

How well did Ashley guess what this movie was about? ...well, she CRUSHED the theme song this time (sorry, Jurassic Park).

Show Notes
Ghostbusters is a 1984 American supernatural comedy film directed by Ivan Reitman and written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis. It stars Bill Murray, Aykroyd, and Ramis as, respectively, Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, and Egon Spengler, a trio of eccentric parapsychologists who start a ghost-catching business in New York City. The film also stars Sigourney Weaver and Rick Moranis, Annie Potts, William Atherton, and Ernie Hudson (who was tragically underutilized).

Peter Venkman, Raymond "Ray" Stantz, and Egon Spengler are scientists at Columbia University investigating the paranormal. Following their first encounter with a ghost manifesting at the New York Public Library, the dean fires them and dismisses the credibility of their research. In response, they create the “Ghostbusters,” a paranormal investigation and elimination service (who are surprisingly underpaid).

Soon their business booms as paranormal activity increases across New York City. To cope with demand, they hire a fourth member, Winston Zeddemore. Supernatural activity is increasing in NYC at dangerous levels. But why? And who is Zuul?

Well, stay tuned, “choose the form of the destructor,” and learn the story of how it all came together! And most importantly, don’t cross the streams.
