When Dudes Met Film - Ep 3 - Ghostbusters

In Episode 3 of When Dudes Met Film, Damian Vargas and Josh Locklair welcome back special guest Koren Young for an expansive, nostalgic, and occasionally irreverent deep dive into the Ghostbusters franchise. Starting with the 1984 original, the trio unpacks how Dan Aykroyd’s fascination with the paranormal, Ivan Reitman’s improvisation-friendly direction, and the undeniable chemistry of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson came together to create one of the most perfectly balanced genre films of the decade—equal parts comedy, horror, and satire. The conversation moves through Ghostbusters II, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and the divisive 2016 reboot, exploring everything from studio decisions and box office pressures to editing, music, casting “what-ifs,” and the realities of sequel fatigue. Along the way, Damian, Josh, and Koren share childhood memories of seeing the films for the first time, debate which entries hold up best, and examine how themes of science, commerce, skepticism, and belief quietly run through the franchise. They also dig into behind-the-scenes trivia, including Ray Parker Jr.’s iconic theme song, legal disputes, and why some callbacks feel earned while others don’t. As always, the episode is packed with tangents—Bill Murray lore, paranormal beliefs, filmmaking technology, and the strange passage of time that turns childhood heroes into legacy characters. Thoughtful, funny, and deeply informed, this episode is both a love letter to Ghostbusters and a broader reflection on why certain films become cultural touchstones that refuse to fade away.
