Not to mention "busting" them! They actually die twice!(cue James Bond theme) Unless "busting" means that they desperately try to make Candace Flynn's mom know that they're up to something...
That "final battle" felt very small, it all took place in that dang firehouse, and the villain barely moved from where he originally came in from lol thought that was hilarious.
In Winston’s defense, the other three ghostbusters took out 9 mortgages on Ray’s house and by the second movie they were doing birthday party appearances. They weren’t exactly great at managing money or a business.
That does make sense, but you'd think he'd at least bring them in, they would technically be his employees under this Ghostbuster organization. Which. Sounds far more interesting than what we got. And in addition the Firefighters who previously lived in that Firehouse are far more interesting than the plot we got. I kind of hope they went on Ghostbusting adventures for a while.
@@anjetto1 I'm not sure any number of mortgages after 1 is a good thing. But I also remember how often they struggled for money. Toss in the animated universes and well that number is even higher.
I'm at a tipping point with Hollywood and being a movie lover. Over the last few years it has become more entertaining to watch a pitch meeting than the movie/show itself. Subsequently, I don't watch many new movies anymore (like this one) and just watch the pitch meeting
Same, but I've been at that point years ago. Every now and then I get this feeling that I'd like to get excited about a movie, and then I realize there's nothing to watch that I'd enjoy and just feel sad. Old movies do still amaze me every now and then tho.
I always love when Ryan's taking about something overly complicated and transitions from explaining to just reading from the paper, its such a gentle kind of sarcasm xD
"The family that busts together," is an actual branding merchandise slogan for this movie*. Busting is TIGHT! *someone in the comments mentioned it was actually for the previous movie, Afterlife.

So it wasn't really sudden, it was just only directly brought up now. Seeing as the three movies that are in canon with this 4th movie had other topics to discuss. Also, while it's been 30+ years, I want to say that in the animated series they made reference to people having powers in family lines.
Petition for "How?" "It doesn't say that here." to become a running gag. Any time Screenwriter Guy is baffled at the screenwriting like the script he wrote has some sort of sentience and wrote itself, it's hilarious.

Turning "'How?' 'It doesn't say that here.'" and "'because that's what I've written,'" and "'because that's what the script,'" into new running gags would be TIGHT!
I noticed that Possessor steals the wax cylinder because it can awaken Garaka without the Phoebe plot, when the cylinder breaks Phoebe is the only one who can be tricked into doing it. Though I don't see how Garaka could have known that phoebe would do the soul extractor thing, presumably he was expecting something like Frank being suffocated in the Frighteners to happen allowing her to be controlled while dying but not yet dead.
I solely watch movies to be up to speed for the Pitch Meetings now. And 100% thought you'd make fun of how the ice giant was freed and took care of the "fire master" at night. Then waited a whole half day to storm a beach. You are full of surprises
Plus, he's heading for Ghostbusters HQ to free all the ghosts in their containment unit. But he doesn't care about freeing any of the ghosts in Winston's secret containment units, even though he's RIGHT THERE.
They're introducing wizards? OK, technically either a D&D sorcerer or a really powerful pyrokinetic psychic or whatever, but shouldn't the old-school Ghostbuster guys be falling all over themselves to test him and see how his powers work considering that at least two of them are scientists and Winston has an entire facility full of specialists? Considering most 'magic' established in GB (including the cartoons) is either ritual based or object based, shouldn't having a human with the ability to directly manipulate the environment via supernatural means be right up their alley? "Sir, I'm going to need you to stop overthinking this and get allllllllll the way off my back on this one!"
I mean, magic stuff isn't knew to the franchise at all, it's pretty much the main source of ghosts and so on, they themselves simply use technology to fight them, since they got no magic stuff or at least don't see it as reliable enough to even try as long as they got their science magic going. First movie villain is a god summoned by a death cult with rituals, second movie villain is a powerful villain with massive magic powers and some kind of emotion vampire. The ghostbusters series is full of cults, magic, demons, even hell itself and apocalyptical settings. But yes, overall the Firemaster should have needed way more time, especially when the movie starst with their blood line. Cut out of the whole secret lab thing, which wasn't needed for anything at all (there are other solusion for the Phoebe becomes Ghost for a minute thing - which also would make much more sense) and maybe also do the whole Melody thing with focus on the Firemaster, too, especially since he got no clue about it (wonder what his grandma thought would happen by telling him shit), so an easy victim for manipulation. Hell, if you really want some vague girl/girl lovestory just make the character female, wouldn't change a thing. I get, that the seems to have tried to repeat the comedy around the gatekeeper/keymaster thing with him being the clown the whole movie, but that didn't really work that way, because in the first movie they were simply sacrifices, not some powerful blood line super magicians. Simply impossible to go from clown to superhero in such a short time without making it weird.
Y'know, I just gotta say... Ghostbusters (2016) actually did capture that fun, off-the-wall feeling, like everybody was just having a blast with the material. It's a very silly, very enjoyable movie, and I thought it was a promising start to a whole new generation's Ghostbusters. So of course, the Hollywood execs canned that right in the cradle. Thanks, execs. Thanks, reactionary fans. -_-;
I will never understand why writers/studios/executives think anyone likes the genius kid character. Or why anyone thought "hey we already have a bunch of unnecessary characters on top of the original guys, let’s add some more!"
They want to transition the series away from adults and towards kids. Way more marketing opportunities with kids. Putting kids in the main cast (and kids like seeing kids be better than adults) is a very easy way to accomplish this goal.
When I saw it in theaters, Ryan's voice was in my head during the third act: Writer: So now the big boss ghost is headed to the fire station... Exec: Uh-ohh! Writer: Yeah, but since Phoebe's really smart, she's going to attach brass to her proton pack, which is the only way to make it work against the bad guy. Exec: Oh, that sounds smart all right! Writer: Yeah, so then all the Ghostbusters and the rest of the kids line up to meet the bad guy at the fire station entrance, and they're ready for their big ghost fight! Exec: Do they have brass on their proton packs too? Writer: What? No PHOEBE does, remember? She's the smart one! Exec: Oh-- Writer: --Yeah, so all the Ghostbusters and kids and the Firemaster all try to shoot their proton packs at the big boss ghost Exec: But didn't Phoebe tell them that wouldn't work on him? Writer: I don't know! Exec: By the way, where is Phoebe during this big faceoff? Writer: She's downstairs, talking to the girl ghost! Exec: Kinda seems like she's more needed upstairs, seeing as how she has that brass proton pack Writer: Well she isn't ok?! She's downstairs talking with the girl ghost about girl stuff!! It's more important right now! Exec: So does she rush upstairs? Writer: No, she's going to be talking down there for a very long time... Kumail also slides down the pole after she cuts the brass chunk out of it. It would also have been funny if he fell the rest of the way (as it is, the pole looks completely intact, oh well).
_Writer: Yeah, so then all the Ghostbusters and the rest of the kids to meet the bad guy at the fire station entrance, and they're ready for their big ghost fight!_ _Exec: Do they have copper on their proton packs too?_ Nope; it's brass, not copper.
I'm surprised there hasn't been a live-action Ghostbusters TV Series yet. It would be easy to turn it into a TV Show with a similar tone to Legends Of Tomorrow.
Honestly, the only reason that people think being a ghostbuster is like an action hero is, specifically the CHORUS of the ghostbusters theme. When that synth hits, it makes the idea of being a shlubby ghost exterminator the most heroic, manly thing ever.
"If you see some ants... inside your house... who ya gonna call? The exterminator! If you got a roach... or a little mouse... who ya gonna call? The exterminator!"
That's not fair. What about the cartoons? Yes, I am including "Slimer and the Real Ghostbusters", which is hated and "Extreme Ghostbusters", which was good, but no one saw it when it first came on in the 1990s (most are discovering it now, thanks to the Internet). I remember seeing it every day after school after reruns of "The Mask: The Animated Series".
The first Ghostbuster movie was the very first movie I saw in the theater. Loved it so much. It seems they've taken all my childhood from the 80s and 90s and just took massive dumps on it.
Dan Aykroyd's brass balls selling out his creation and starring in the soulless rapacity of a movie. Curmudgeon aside for a moment, that would've been a great way to tie in a character's backstory or C-plot. It also ties into the whole "Horny" nickname (know a trombone isn't a horn, but it's very similar). Much less bizarre than crafting a magic weapon with brass coating like a Dungeons & Dragons game. Actually, now I kinda want to use both brass-weapon and a brass instrument for a D&D campaign lol.
I just watched my first pitch meeting about a movie I didn't even know existed. Watching pitch meetings about a movie you didn't even know existed is tight!
I loved this movie but I did think it’s funny when Phobee was like “I know how to make my proton pack work against this demon!” Oh shouldn’t we make all the packs like that? Nope I’m just gonna do mine so I can come in at the last moment to save the day
Another problem with Phoebe melting down a fire pole that quickly is that she does it with a hot plat and a propane torch. Uh, yeah, no... Brass melts at 1700 degrees F. Which cannot be achieved with a hot plate and a propane torch.
A problem with the entire premise of the film is that you can't catch ghosts and contain them, so... How about we just suspend our disbelief here, and let that one go with a laugh?
@G360LIVE "How about no" This is such a stupid excuse for bad writing. "Oh I don't care that the writing is bad because the movie has fantasy elements so the writing is allowed to be bad, because fiction"
I heard the opening Is actually pretty good. Then it kinda meanders its way for a bit and they throw the big bad at you last minute and then it wraps up lol.
I can see it now. Millie Bobby Brown and her family moves to an old house in Hill Valley. Brown stumbles into the garage and finds an old car covered by a dusty tarp. She pulls the tarp off to reveal the Delorean while the theme starts playing on a piano...
If it wasn't going to inevitably turn into a soulless nostalgia fueled cash-grab, a Back to the Future movie exploring why the present isn't anything like the 2015 of the original trilogy could actually be pretty cool...
I liked the idea of one of the GB team befriending the non-hostile ghosts. Like they encounter one a bit like this Melody Character who knows of the GB and is afraid of being zapped. So the GB who finds the ghost agrees to shelter it because of an understandable curiosity they have of ghosts. Most they find are causing damage or hurting people so there's no time to attempt proper communications or reach common ground. But eventually their house is overrun with ghosts they've befriended over the months. They're like a person with too many cats.
There is a compelling dramatic irony in a ghostbuster befriending or falling in love with a ghost, but this film failed to fully explore and focus on that as its main core story. You didn't need both the firemaster story and that - pick a lane and explore it! Those two plots could have been two separate Ghostbusters sequels tbh.

"Get off my back" is back!!! Thanks again for saving me the time of watching this. Only way a teenager wandering around Central Park at night would work for me is if she ran into the ghost of Robin Williams' character from The Fisher King out there.
I don't know what the weirdest thing about this, seeing James Acaster pop up in a Hollywood Blockbuster or for Ghostbusters to become like Ghost but Patrick Swayze's a Teenage Girl Ghost and his love interest is a Teenage Girl Who Isn't A Ghost Yet.
Agree and I would have been so disappointed had I gone and seen that crap, too many new characters, forced love interest and they add wizard into it for no reason
I saw the movie. I'm about to watch the Pitch Meeting. It needs to include something that I wondered when I was in the theater...shouldn't it have been made clear to everyone using the machines that Ray knows the orb is a prison for a very powerful entity so, maybe, don't put it in the machine that sucks entities out of objects? Now, on to the video!
yeah Ray just goes "wow this is a magic prison for something extremely dangerous" and then hands it off to them with seemingly zero warning. Ray was pretty damn irresponsible throughout the movie.
The entire point of the machine and the reason for Ray bringing the orb there specifically was to pull the entity out and have it put into the new containment system. Now it is instead in the old system.
Oh, this came very close to something I've *always* wanted to see in one of these pitch meetings! "Wow, overly complicated and difficult easy-to-do barely inconveniences are TIGHT!"
"Scary balls are tight!" I see what you did there! The first movie had them busting Slimer in a ballroom, where you would have scary balls because of the ghost at the balls. Scary! Not just a gag about testicles. Nice one
"It says it! Right here!" "It doesn't say that here!" Screenwriter Guy forgot he even wrote it. Something tells me this is going to stick with me for years - "It doesn't say that here!" killed me
Saw it this week. This summed up almost all of my thoughts… aside from the Ice Demon being able to freeze proton streams and the Flame Master also being able to manipulate them as if they were actual fire.
Funny how Godzilla x Kong took the exact opposite approach to this movie, cutting out almost all of the human characters so they could focus on the big monkey and big lizard
Remember when the scientist guy and Lucky put Garraka's orb into the spirit extractor and the orb shook a lot and they were all "Man, whatever's in that orb really doesn't want to come out," but then Garraka's sole desire in the movie was to get out of the orb?
4:46 you know being honest, an animated show for ghostbusters could be fun, there are still fans of the new ghostbusters so maybe they’ll pull from that some
"...there are still fans of the new Ghostbusters..." And I am 1000% behind farming the project out to Disney to make the next movie, in the hopes they'll sink at least $500 million into it, for all 27 of them. 😀

_Writer: Yeah, so then all the Ghostbusters and the rest of the kids to meet the bad guy at the fire station entrance, and they're ready for their big ghost fight!_

Nope; it's brass, not copper.

I'm surprised there hasn't been a live-action Ghostbusters TV Series yet. It would be easy to turn it into a TV Show with a similar tone to Legends Of Tomorrow.
Honestly, the only reason that people think being a ghostbuster is like an action hero is, specifically the CHORUS of the ghostbusters theme. When that synth hits, it makes the idea of being a shlubby ghost exterminator the most heroic, manly thing ever.
Switch "ghostbuster" with "exterminator" in that song and suddenly being an exterminator is totally cool and badass. ^^
"If you see some ants... inside your house... who ya gonna call? The exterminator! If you got a roach... or a little mouse... who ya gonna call? The exterminator!"

Crazy how seeing these thumbnails on the UA-cam home page instantly makes my day better
OMG THIS WAS SPOT ON… The trailer had more action then the movie and it started off so promising and they dropped the ball completely for this
Thank you for bringing back the "get off my back" line again!

Best line of the video!
I've always stood by that the Ghostbusters Song is more popular then the actual movies
More popular *THAN
@@GreyBirdKiki Hi Miss Dee, are you aware of the occurrence known as a typo?
@@selorm Hi selorm, are you aware of the occurrence known as a correction?
That's not fair. What about the cartoons? Yes, I am including "Slimer and the Real Ghostbusters", which is hated and "Extreme Ghostbusters", which was good, but no one saw it when it first came on in the 1990s (most are discovering it now, thanks to the Internet). I remember seeing it every day after school after reruns of "The Mask: The Animated Series".
The first Ghostbuster movie was the very first movie I saw in the theater. Loved it so much. It seems they've taken all my childhood from the 80s and 90s and just took massive dumps on it.
Not gonna lie, when you said “she needs to incorporate brass into her weapon,” I really thought she meant that he doesn’t like the sound of a trombone
Dan Aykroyd's brass balls selling out his creation and starring in the soulless rapacity of a movie.
Curmudgeon aside for a moment, that would've been a great way to tie in a character's backstory or C-plot. It also ties into the whole "Horny" nickname (know a trombone isn't a horn, but it's very similar). Much less bizarre than crafting a magic weapon with brass coating like a Dungeons & Dragons game. Actually, now I kinda want to use both brass-weapon and a brass instrument for a D&D campaign lol.
Must say, worse part about it was, that they jsut modifies her own with it and not all of them or at least some more.
~sad trombone sound~
@@viridian5maureen853~rusty trombone sounds~**°
Better yet: she lures him to Carnegie Hall where a massive brass band is waiting to launch into the GB theme song.
I just watched my first pitch meeting about a movie I didn't even know existed. Watching pitch meetings about a movie you didn't even know existed is tight!
I'd heard of the movie, but thought it was a joke. Didn't know it was real.
Neither have I heard about this crap.
The best thing watching Pitch Meeting is that you can enjoy the movie plot when you don’t want see the movie in cinema
Also it’s free and more enjoyable
@@noahwhite659 💯
@@noahwhite659 And it's much shorter than a 2-hour movie.
Plot? 🤪
I specifically watch Pitch Meetings to avoid watching the actual movies.
I loved this movie but I did think it’s funny when Phobee was like “I know how to make my proton pack work against this demon!” Oh shouldn’t we make all the packs like that? Nope I’m just gonna do mine so I can come in at the last moment to save the day
The only reason hollywood exists now is to create content for Ryan to roast
Another problem with Phoebe melting down a fire pole that quickly is that she does it with a hot plat and a propane torch. Uh, yeah, no... Brass melts at 1700 degrees F. Which cannot be achieved with a hot plate and a propane torch.
Exactly, she should have used " jet fuel and steel beams " . That is explosively fast . New Yorkers know what I am talking about.
Yeah, but the script says she did.
A problem with the entire premise of the film is that you can't catch ghosts and contain them, so...
How about we just suspend our disbelief here, and let that one go with a laugh?
@G360LIVE "How about no"
This is such a stupid excuse for bad writing. "Oh I don't care that the writing is bad because the movie has fantasy elements so the writing is allowed to be bad, because fiction"
Propane can't melt brass poles Debra
Only 9% battery power left and my charger is broken got to use this last bit wisely.
New Pitch Meeting:
Wise you are said Yoda!
A very justified use 👍 the internet approves
The Pitch Meeting is more exciting than the actual movie
-it's called Goraka and it freezes things
- cool
Either random or very sneaky joke that made me very happy
"Its called Guraka and it freezes things."
"Cool!"
😅😅
The joke about Montreal in February looked like it hit pretty close to home
A new Ghostbusters movie without any actual Ghostbusting is tight 😂
I love busting ghost 😏
I heard the opening Is actually pretty good. Then it kinda meanders its way for a bit and they throw the big bad at you last minute and then it wraps up lol.
and barely an inconvince
@@TwistedReality13 I thoguht it was alright. Though annoyed that the ending felt rushed.
@@TwistedReality13 that's pretty much how the movie goes. It's not horrible but I would have been way better with less characters to focus on.
I can see it now. Millie Bobby Brown and her family moves to an old house in Hill Valley. Brown stumbles into the garage and finds an old car covered by a dusty tarp. She pulls the tarp off to reveal the Delorean while the theme starts playing on a piano...
The DeLorean was destroyed by a train tho
I have a feeling she will be in a Caddyshack reboot instead. Heck, the Bill Murray cameo is right there.
If it wasn't going to inevitably turn into a soulless nostalgia fueled cash-grab, a Back to the Future movie exploring why the present isn't anything like the 2015 of the original trilogy could actually be pretty cool...
@@DqwertyC Docs kids messed things up when they inherited the train. lol
thank god robert zemeckis refuses to allow a reboot
"Montreal in February cold"
.
You got me good with that one. Good one
I liked the idea of one of the GB team befriending the non-hostile ghosts.
Like they encounter one a bit like this Melody Character who knows of the GB and is afraid of being zapped.
So the GB who finds the ghost agrees to shelter it because of an understandable curiosity they have of ghosts. Most they find are causing damage or hurting people so there's no time to attempt proper communications or reach common ground.
But eventually their house is overrun with ghosts they've befriended over the months. They're like a person with too many cats.
bonus points if the person befriending the person is female.
There is a compelling dramatic irony in a ghostbuster befriending or falling in love with a ghost, but this film failed to fully explore and focus on that as its main core story. You didn't need both the firemaster story and that - pick a lane and explore it! Those two plots could have been two separate Ghostbusters sequels tbh.
I’m surprised we haven’t had a Dune Pitch Meeting yet. Are French Canadians not allowed to critique other French Canadians’ work?
Because a movie needs many flaws and funny plot points to qualify for a funny Pitch Meeting?
Your answer is below. Pitch Meeting is about films that are collections of thoroughly inept and contrived writing.
So, you're probably not going to see many Kubrick films on this channel.
Best wishes from Vermont ❄️

Ryan is a new dad now, so he cn't do every movie that comes out right now. I'm sure he'll come back to it though.
Sorry, you’re all wrong. French Canadians are a secretive cabal who say they use their film making powers for the benefit of humanity but are really controlling the universe from the shadows.
Another movie I will never see - but totally will watch the Pitch Meeting!
"They don't call her that for nothing."
"Oh, do they call her that?"
"No. They don't. For nothing. I just told you"
Best exchange ever.
That's a joke from the video!
Wow wow wow
Wow
Not really
What a missed opportunity. The scary ball was brass. We missed out on hearing, "Brass balls are TIGHT!"
My Grandma makes sure.I never miss one of your videos from either of your channels. She don't know how to find them herself.She only knows that if I send them to her.She just has to click on the link and it opens it up for her. She thinks you're one of the most entertaining people ever and such a wonderful actor and wants to know why you don't do it professionally.I think she means like in TV.Or movies.
This is very sweet! Your grandma has good taste!
@misterwhyte she's on deaths door these days so anything to make her forget even for a min.
3:01 "cool", that delivery was cool as a cucumber.
“We’re talking Montreal in February cold.” Nice of Ryan to give a shout out to his home! Personal experience is the best thing to draw from.
Didn’t even know the movie came out💀
right!?
literally all i've been hearing for the last 2 weeks is "YOU SHOULD GO SEE FROZEN EMPIRE" and i just cannot express strongly enough how much I DON'T WANT TO
This is the first time I’m hearing about it
Great when that happens to uncreative, soulless IP movies. Love that for them 😌
Bad marketing for a subpar movie lol. Not surprised
"It doesn't *say* that here!" Got me so much 😂
"Get off my back" is back!!!
Thanks again for saving me the time of watching this.
Only way a teenager wandering around Central Park at night would work for me is if she ran into the ghost of Robin Williams' character from The Fisher King out there.
I liked the film but it has heavy flaws and everything you said is valid and I agree.
I don't know what the weirdest thing about this, seeing James Acaster pop up in a Hollywood Blockbuster or for Ghostbusters to become like Ghost but Patrick Swayze's a Teenage Girl Ghost and his love interest is a Teenage Girl Who Isn't A Ghost Yet.
Thanks for saving me a trip to the theatre. 👍
Agree and I would have been so disappointed had I gone and seen that crap, too many new characters, forced love interest and they add wizard into it for no reason
I was stunned at first to see producer guy being the one to suggest the franchise ending. But then he got right back on character.
"Scary balls are tight." That needs to be on a t-shirt.
3:10 I see Screenwriter Guy is a big fan of old school Lucas Arts point-and-click adventure games

I saw the movie. I'm about to watch the Pitch Meeting. It needs to include something that I wondered when I was in the theater...shouldn't it have been made clear to everyone using the machines that Ray knows the orb is a prison for a very powerful entity so, maybe, don't put it in the machine that sucks entities out of objects? Now, on to the video!
yeah Ray just goes "wow this is a magic prison for something extremely dangerous" and then hands it off to them with seemingly zero warning. Ray was pretty damn irresponsible throughout the movie.
he didnt know about the machine.
@@MikeFarnhamGalaxysEdgeGroup He did, he's there when they're demonstrating it.
The entire point of the machine and the reason for Ray bringing the orb there specifically was to pull the entity out and have it put into the new containment system. Now it is instead in the old system.
Oh, this came very close to something I've *always* wanted to see in one of these pitch meetings! "Wow, overly complicated and difficult easy-to-do barely inconveniences are TIGHT!"
"Like Montreal in February"
That's such a universally understood joke.
As someone who has spent most of his life in Florida where we have nearly year long summers, I can't even imagine how cold that could actually be.
@@gunguntrio1247 You're speaking to a fellow Floridian. Maybe it's just us. 😂
“Scary balls are tight!” Had me dying 😂😂
4:28
Yeah, but it doesn't sound like there were any back flips and/or snapping of bad guys' necks involved.
"Scary balls are tight!" I see what you did there! The first movie had them busting Slimer in a ballroom, where you would have scary balls because of the ghost at the balls. Scary! Not just a gag about testicles. Nice one
"It says it! Right here!"
"It doesn't say that here!"
Screenwriter Guy forgot he even wrote it. Something tells me this is going to stick with me for years - "It doesn't say that here!" killed me
Talking about why different things happened. The keyword is different.
Love the "It says that right here" followed up by the "It doesn't say that here" 😂
Thanks just saw the movie through your channel. Saved $20
"Scary balls are tight!" That's it! I'm dead! 🤣🤣🤣
All the "whats" nailed it.
3:29 yeah, it's a Ghostbusters movie.
Saw it this week. This summed up almost all of my thoughts… aside from the Ice Demon being able to freeze proton streams and the Flame Master also being able to manipulate them as if they were actual fire.
This was bang on the money. Too many characters, zero development... real shame, as I loved Afterlife. I hope they get another shot though.
This film is weird
No it's not lol I liked it
Your beard is weird 😳
@DisneyHaterKing1923-Pretty much the whole Ghostbusters franchise is weird
Heard same.
And by "weird" you mean "completely irredeemable piece of ectocrap."
Funny how Godzilla x Kong took the exact opposite approach to this movie, cutting out almost all of the human characters so they could focus on the big monkey and big lizard
Ghost busters frozen empire: oops all characters 😅
this channel should be called Perfect Pitch Meetings.
Just perfect!
Remember when the scientist guy and Lucky put Garraka's orb into the spirit extractor and the orb shook a lot and they were all "Man, whatever's in that orb really doesn't want to come out," but then Garraka's sole desire in the movie was to get out of the orb?
it is sad how many films in recent times I have been happy to listen to the Pitch Meeting for *instead* of going to see the film as well
When you have a 5 film franchise with only one good movie, it's pretty obvious what needs to be done: SPIN-OFFS!!!!
I liked the 2016 one.
It was the Street Fighter of Ghost Busters movies.
I love this movie, I’m excited to be a part of it! Let’s do it !
Loved your HISHE cameo.
1:52 exactly what I said 🤣
2 Ghostbusters pitch meeting in the same year, best year ever!!!
4:46 you know being honest, an animated show for ghostbusters could be fun, there are still fans of the new ghostbusters so maybe they’ll pull from that some
The old cartoon was good. And actually provided material for Ghostbusters stuff. But as usual everyone just forgets that
"...there are still fans of the new Ghostbusters..."
And I am 1000% behind farming the project out to Disney to make the next movie, in the hopes they'll sink at least $500 million into it, for all 27 of them. 😀
I like your pitch meetings and I also like the new Ghostbusters Movie. No comparison to the classic film(s) but still solid fun.
Clicking LIKE before I even watched the video because I'm a simp for this channel. How hard is it to simp for this channel? It's actually SUPER EASY. BARELY AN INCONVENIENCE.
