Ghostbusters: Afterlife

I can't believe the all-lady reboot was five years ago now. How was Afterlife? Well... 

  • You know they're Spengler-material when one is mechanically inclined and the other is a science nerd. It's also crazy that Finn Wolfhard and McKenna Grace could really pass off as siblings.
  • Yeah, I don't think it's a coincidence that Phoebe is the spitting image of her late grandfather, right down to the curly hair and glasses. 
  • Have to like how long into the movie it took for the mother to finally admit that she is a Spengler. Also, based on her age, Egon must've left the family like some years before the first movie? Maybe?
  • Yeah, I don't think anyone would take Gozer seriously if they had used Olivia Wilde's actual voice... 
  • A gluttonous ghost named Muncher? Nice try, you guys. 
  • It's not the worst looking old Egon I've ever seen? Did anyone else tear up when Egon finally materialised, or was it just me? 
  • Wait, so is Janine working for Winston now? Was Winston also bankrolling Egon's last years out on the farm? 
  • Speaking of Winston, stay for the stinger - won't regret one. 
I would probably notice more references and Easter eggs had I seen the other movies, but oh well.
