Ghostbusters

Who you gonna call?

Since 1984, Ghostbusters has blended comedy, science fiction, supernatural horror, and blockbuster spectacle into one of popular culture's most enduring franchises. What began as the story of three eccentric scientists starting a ghost-catching business in New York City has grown into a multi-generational saga filled with proton packs, haunted artifacts, spectral threats, and enough slime to keep janitors employed for decades.

In this series, Now Playing Podcast reviews every live-action Ghostbusters film, from the original supernatural comedies that made Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson icons, to the franchise revivals, reboots, and legacy sequels that introduced a new generation of ghost hunters. Along the way we'll encounter demonic gods, possessed paintings, haunted cities, ancient curses, and plenty of things that go bump in the night.

Whether you're a longtime fan who knows the rules of crossing the streams or a newcomer discovering the franchise for the first time, join us as we examine the laughs, scares, special effects, and enduring appeal of one of cinema's most beloved paranormal franchises.

After all, saving the world from supernatural destruction is just another day on the job.
