Over a decade in the making, the fan-produced documentary Cleanin' Up The Town: Remembering Ghostbusters was finally released last year. While not available to own in the United States, there is a Region-Free Blu-ray released by Screenbound in the United Kingdom. Read on to find out more about it...

Most Ghostbusters references are short bits that can best be encapsulated with a small video clip, as evidenced by Spook Central's collection of Ghostbusters reference videos on Critical Commons. However, sometimes there's a reference for which a small clip won't do it justice. It is for these types of references that I have this reoccurring feature here at Spook Central, the Ghostbusters Reference Review... or in this case, the PRE-Ghostbusters Reference Review (since it occurred before 1984).

Sony recently began uploading full episodes of The Real Ghostbusters to the official Ghostbusters YouTube channel, which I have been documenting here on Spook Central. (Sony's Extreme Ghostbusters episode uploads are being documented here.) This is great news, of course, but what if you want to own all episodes of the series on disc? TimeLife's Complete Series DVD box set is long out-of-print and going for ridiculously high prices on the aftermarket.

I've written about TJ's unofficial/bootleg Extreme Ghostbusters: The Complete Series Blu-ray set, his Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue DVD, and his extremely limited Ghostbusters: The Video Game - The Complete Story Blu-ray. He's back with a 10-disc complete series Blu-ray release of The Real Ghostbusters and Slimer! (with Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue). TJ was kind enough to send me a copy as a holiday gift, and I thought I'd share my thoughts on it. Read on to find out more about it...
