1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:01,800
Speaker 1: Great to flick with.

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 2: Ben o'she good money man.

3
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: Okay, guys, ends on the road. What do you got today, Benny, Ghostbusters,

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: Frozen Empire. As I'm sitting here in the car park

5
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: of the wonderful Williams Woodshed woolf Shed, will Shed. Yeah,

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: just be down in Albany visiting the set of the

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 1: new Daisy Ridley movie. So it's all very exciting. So

8
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: I can't say too much about it right now, just

9
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: a bit of a teaser for you. But this will

10
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: make you, This will make you feel old. The original

11
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: Ghostbusters movie can you believe it came out pretty much

12
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: forty years ago? Oh yeah, years ago, nineteen eighty four,

13
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: and Bill Murray, Dan aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Harold Ramas and

14
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: you know, Ray Parker Jr. What a classic. I had

15
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: fraid an no Ghosts and so since then. And there

16
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: was a sequel in nineteen eighty nine that was pretty good.

17
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: But they're kind of, you know, legendary comedies that gave

18
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: us so many great one liners and sort of iconic

19
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: cinematic moments. Then in twenty sixteen, Paul fig made an

20
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: all female Ghostbusters reboot starring Melissa McCarthy and Kristin wigg.

21
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: It was not good. Everybody really, everybody really hated on it.

22
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: I think probably some of the criticism was unfair. It's

23
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: you know, like film bros on the internet going, oh,

24
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 1: we don't like it because it's all women. But also

25
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: it was not an amazing film. That's kind of a yeah,

26
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: that's you know, you take away all of that stuff

27
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: and it just was not good. That wasn't great at all.

28
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: And then in twenty twenty one, Jason Reitman, who is

29
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: the son of Ivan Reiman who directed the originals, made

30
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: Ghostbusters Afterlife and it was surprisingly good. It came in

31
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: with low expectations, It did pretty well at the box office.

32
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: It came out during the pandemic, so you probably give

33
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: it a pass on not making heat to money. But

34
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: it was okay. It kind of focused on Egon Spengler's

35
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: family decades after the events of the original movie in

36
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: sort of rural Oklahoma. Egon Spengler's daughter Calli played by

37
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: Carry Coon, and his grandkids played by Finn Wolfhard from

38
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: Stranger Things and McKenna Grace and had Paul Ruther, as

39
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: well as the high school science teacher who kind of

40
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: gets roped into these supernatural happenings. He plays the hilariously

41
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: named Gary Gruberson and the film. The film kind of

42
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: won over fans because it was nostalgic, It had some

43
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: really nice tributes in it to the original, and so

44
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: they get got the kind of like the go ahead

45
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: to make a sequel, which is what Frozen Empire is,

46
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: and they bring the action back to New York. You've

47
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: got the iconic firehouse set, you've got a kind of

48
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: supernatural city is about to be destroyed, vibes of the original.

49
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: But the mistake people will make about Frozen Empire is

50
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: comparing it to the original. You can't do that. It

51
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: will never stack up. This is a family movie. The

52
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,399
Speaker 1: central cast members are kids, so you've got to kind

53
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: of compare it to your Harry Potters, your Percy Jackson's,

54
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: you know, your Hunger Games, those type of you know,

55
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: tweety movies. And when you're comparing it to a family

56
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: movie like that, all of a sudden, Frozen Empire is

57
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: actually pretty good. You've got some solid cameos from Bill

58
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: Murray and Dan Ackroyd, some hilarious moments from those guys

59
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: who are obviously comedy legends. You've got a really good

60
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: addition in Kamal Nungiani who's a funny, funny actor as well,

61
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: and so you probably get enough in here to keep

62
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: the original fans of the franchise happy, But it's really

63
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: aimed at new fans, young kids. You know, you're probably

64
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: looking at like sort of twelve to sixteen is a

65
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: target demographic of this film. So it arrives just in

66
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: time for the school holidays.

67
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: Okay, that's my I mean, it's been forty years since

68
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: the first movie, but ten years since we lost Harold Ramers,

69
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: so I'm.

70
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: Glad those other yeah blokes have popped up again with

71
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: the cameos. It's good. Yeah, yeah, and they're all great

72
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: as well. Like Bill Murray. You know, he's just a

73
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: classic kind of deadpan performance from him. He plays dan Ackroyd. Yeah,

74
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: he plays Bill. He just does his own thing. It's

75
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: a great scene where from the original he do those

76
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: kind of like psychic energy tests on his college female

77
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: college students. This time he does one with Kamal Nanjiani.

78
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: It's one of the highlights of the film. It's extremely

79
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: funny and Dan Akroyd looks like he's having the best

80
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: time of his life, as you know he always does.

81
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: He's so full of enthusiasm for everything that he does.

82
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: Very very funny. So yeah, it's if you're comparing it

83
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: to the original, you'll be disappointed if you don't. Don't

84
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: criticize it for what it's, not, celebrate it for what

85
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: it is. You get something out of.

86
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: It, all right, So how many Ghostbusters are you giving it?

87
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: Well, Bustin makes me feel good, so I'm going to

88
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: give this one. I'm going to give this one three okay, three,

89
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: three very good?

90
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,440
