Ghostbusters: Afterlife - First Trailer Review

As an early Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Festivus present, the first trailer for the new Ghostbusters movie came out yesterday, which is now officially known as Ghostbusters: Afterlife most everywhere and Ghostbusters: Legacy in Germany. I'm going to share my thoughts on the trailer in a sort-of running commentary form, though I won't go over every single shot. BE FOREWARNED: THERE ARE SOME MINOR PLOT SPOILERS IF YOU KEEP READING.
The Movies That Made Us: Ghostbusters (Netflix Episode) Review

On Friday, November 29, 2019, Netflix premiered their new series The Movies That Made Us. Contrary to the name, the series does NOT chronicle the fans whose lives have been influenced ("made") by these motion pictures. You know, like a guy who has run a Ghostbusters fansite for over 23 years. No, the series is more akin to AMC's Backstory, in which each 50-ish minute episode details the making of a film with new interviews with the people who made it. So, a better name for the series would have been The Movies That We Made, but then that wouldn't match the sister series, The Toys That Made Us. Anyway, the first season consists of four episodes, each devoted to one of these films: Dirty Dancing (episode 1), Home Alone (episode 2), Ghostbusters (episode 3), and Die Hard (episode 4). Obviously, you know the one that I will be reviewing today. Nobody puts Slimer in a ghost trap...
Ghostbusters: The Video Game - Ghostbusters 3 Movie DVD & VHS Review

Ten years ago, Ghostbusters: The Video Game was released and it gave us the third movie that we had been waiting 20 years for. Even Dan Aykroyd considered it to be "essentially the third movie". However, unlike most "movies", it was never released in a home video format, even though other video games of the era were (see: Lego Batman 2). That left the fans to fill that gap with several cutdowns of the game's story uploaded to YouTube. The longest one was already released on an unofficial/bootleg Blu-ray. Now, a shorter one has gotten a physical release...with a twist!

This a project done BY THE FANS, FOR THE FANS.

This year's Halloween Treat is simple collection of Ghostbusters videos that I have uploaded to my accounts on Critical Commons and Internet Archive (there's also old stuff on YouTube and DailyMotion you can check out). There is a lot of Ghostbusters (2016) stuff because I recorded all of that stuff back in 2016 and have had it sitting on my hard drive for three years until I finally had time to do something with it.
