2016’s Ghostbusters reboot aimed to breathe new life into the classic franchise by introducing us to a brand new take on the concept, while still shoving as much nostalgia our way as it could. The movie bombed pretty hard at the box office and it seems unlikely that we'll see this version of the team again. The movie was kind of a mess and raises a ton of questions. Like… was there a script? Did Paul Feig just point a camera at Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones and let them come up with stuff? What even are the rules of this universe?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to 2016’s Ghostbusters! It’s super easy, barely an inconvenience!

"What was the motivation for that?"
"It's sexist of you to even ask that."
This was basically the PR strategy for the movie.
I hated the marketing for exactly that, it didn't matter that the original ensemble was all male so why should it matter that this one's all female. Marketing on that was foolish. The fact is it's just not a great movie :/ (personally I thought the movie was ok, about the average for that kind of movie and I agree with this vids criticisms.
Also I think the Director's Cut was noticeably better than the theatrical release)
@@WheeliePhiloslothical Nope. The movie sucked balls.
Ditto for Star trek Discovery, Captain Marvel, Star Wars Disney movies, Oceans 8, and Terminator Dark fate. every single one of them did poorly compared to the originals.
@@snapdragon9300 how dare you say this you are on the list now.
@@railshot888 I'll give Captain Marvel credit, he is a pretty handsome guy.😊
He forgot to mention the most brilliant marketing strategy of attacking the fanbase and trying to guilt trip people into liking the movie.
Guilt trips are tight.
It's sexist of you to even mention that. You're on a list now.
@@admthrawnuru I thought everyone who didn't pay a ticket to see this movie was on that list anyways...
Gurren Lagann is *TIGHT*
@Random Dude It is, but it's also super easy, barely an inconvenience.
"And then we'll make a sequel to this movie"
"With what money?"
"Unclear"
"They're ALL going to be funny."
"Oh, really??"
No.
That's sexist and you're on a list now.
@@simple7708 Thats the joke
@@Amardarial Do you have any idea how hard it is to see sarcasm through written text? I have no idea if what he wrote was actually what he thinks or just sarcasm
@@simple7708 did you watch the video ?
I thought they were all hilarious, just not in this turd.
I feel like this is exactly how the pitch meeting went for this movie
Yup, idiots making a Pathetic cash grab by stealing everything and making heroes into unfunny bitches. The fifth bitch Paul feig.
What if Bill Murray doesn’t want to make a cameo?
We’ll just make some legal threats at him until he agrees to do it.
Welcome to the joke
@@heszedjim9699 That's not the joke...
The jokes making FUN of the movie by staging it as a fictional pitch meeting. I don't think he thought it would funny if he wrote a script that's based on an actual pitch meeting. That stuff isn't exactly slapstick.
@@Heyesy you say that like its mutually exclusive that he could be poking fun at the movie by poking fun at the thought process behind it
My conversation with my mother:
"With what money?"
"Unclear."
This is your 100th like
The story of my life.
Mine to😂😂
I got 10 minutes into GB (2016) and took my own life. Im now a ghostwriter.
Wow u r a warrior I didn't last two minutes of the film
@@tonyacosta4574 damn, 2 minutes of the film? I didn't even get to the end of the trailer!
@@TonyNse lol rock on my excellent friend
you told me about this movie again? where did you put the bleach!
Oh my God that's so dark. Did the ghostbusters movie crack a bunch of jokes afterwards though?
The more of these I watch, the more scriptwriter guy saying "I don't know" becomes my favorite thing.
Fair enough.
Catchy catchphrases are tight!
I like it when he says "who's to say"
It's a rare gem tho. I've only heard it thrice, but worth gold each time
Oh! Scriptwriter guy saying "I don't know" is tight!
“Unclear” is my favorite.
- How much money did this movie make??
- UNCLEAR
What I've seen multiple places online is that it actually LOST seventy MILLION dollars.
Cost 300 million to make and made 250 million. Then you factor in advertising and toy marketing that didn't sell. So over all they lost more than 70 million...
@@kemradovich2874
Ha! You can guarantee that they spent way more than 20mil on advertising. They pushed that movie harder than Deadpool. The toy marketing was probably 20mil.
Kem Radovich budget was $144 million and it took in 229.1 million, to break even, a film would have to make double the budget which would be $288 million, which means they lost nearly $60 million(58.9 million) on that film.
Ok people doing the math: are you factoring in DVD sales?
"are you an expert?"
"Oh God no. Are you?"
"No. Should we get one of those?"
"Probably"
That explains....so much.....
Ana Salazar
Agreed
Actually that really is how a lot of comedies are made. It only works if the editor is TIGHT with the director.
that was the best...
This explains much? Do you think these sketches are documentaries?
stpaulimdog It also generally works with males actual comedians.
Kudos to pitch meeting for not disabling the comments like honest trailers did for this movie
I know, I'm surprised. Allowing people to speak their mind about crappy woke Hollywood movies is so rare these days.
Seriously, he did?
@@zimtak6418 Freedom of speech is TIGHT.😁
@@zimtak6418 thats now what woke means lol . Its weird that people slap that word on everything.
The definition: aware of injustice.
@@eclat4641you seem fun to be around.
Dispatching the final ghost by shooting him in the testicles was a metaphor for this movie's treatment of the entire franchise.
I thought it was a metaphor for how woke women see "beta"(normal men) men these days. And how they should consequently treat them
@@Mansplainer452 I think ur giving the writers a bit too much credit there. I doubt they had the brain-power to make that connection themselves. Probably just wanted a lazy dick joke
@@Chimken_nunget 😂😂😂😂😂
@@Chimken_nunget dicks are TIGH- no
@@Mansplainer452 it's not normal to be beta
One of the great things about the original was the tangible money troubles, like Ray having to mortgage his house so he could buy a crappy lemon for transport, and a rundown firehouse for an HQ..
The mundane stuff helped sell the fantastic elements.
These are great but very overlooked points. Those elements definitely added to the movie.
@Angry Hippo I mean Quentin Tarantino is still around
I liked how Dr. Venkman played by Bill Murray was really just a conman trying to bed female students. While practically electrocuting male students (even if they apparently were PSI - gifted).
Facts
It wasn't even that he had to mortgage the house, he had to mortgage the house 3 times lol
Losing money from this movie was easy, barely an inconvenience.
Ur profile pics from the toothbrush scene?
Lol
Super*
Losing money is tight
budget 144m sales 229m profit 85m. And that's why they teach the kids common core now.
That ghost getting shot in the nuts was the perfect metaphor for how it felt watching this movie.
"which one is the funny one?"
"none of them"
I chuckled at one point of the movie. Not a laugh, just a chuckle. I couldn't even tell you what part it was, so it clearly wasn't that memorable.
"The older episodes of Saturday Night Live whose reputation we're desperately clinging to!"
This video is more enjoyable than the movie he's talking about
Agree
Muuuuch more
the remake is boring and sexist...
Painful diarrhea is more enjoyable than Ghostbusters 2016
"That's sexist of you to even say. You're in a list now"
Just remembered he's not wearing any pants
Because pants are tight
@@burger_kinghorn because NOT wearing pants is tight!
@chico baber r/whoosh
It’s super easy to change clothes that way. Barely an inconvience
Pants are part of patriarchy. Men design loose and comfortable pants for themselves while they make women’s pants constricting in order to objectify their posteriors.
Smash the pantriarchy.
The absolute scariest part of the remake is the knowledge that it exists.
If we all will it hard enough maybe it will disappear forever, (we should include that live action think they called Dragonball and that awful remake Fan4stic)
@@Grieves0001 DragonBall Evolution was decent. Better than Street Fighter the Movie and that Raya Dragon movie.
Don't worry. Ghostbusters: Afterlife will ease those fears.
We do not talk about the 2016 reboot
@@aiden_macleod How DARE you besmirch the name of the Streetfighter movie! Raul Julia was a treasure to stage and screen. I mean, every other aspect of the film blew, but it was Raul Julia's last movie. So, I have trouble condemning it fully.
"So, you have a movie for me?"
"Yeah, so because women are underrepresented in Hollywood, we're going to do something with an all-female cast."
"Well that sounds nice enough. So you want to write a good, well-developed, original plot with distinct characters and a funny script?"
"Actually, we're going to gender swap Ghostbusters."
"Well, it seems like the best way to prove that an all-female cast can be good would be for them to start an original franchise just as good as Ghostbusters. Doesn't having to remake a classic, successful, male-dominated film sort of contradict the message that an all-female cast can be just as good as men?"
"Whoops!"
"Whoopsie!"
"Well, at least it will be good, right? Like, with a funny script, and distinct characters, and a well-developed plot?"
"I'm gonna need you to get ALL the way off my back about that."
"Oh whoops let me get off of that thing!"
You do realize this comment got you put on a list...right?
@@seanmatyas3938 What do you mean?
@@thesoupin8or673 it is a joke. You criticized Ghostbusters 2016 so you obviously hate all woman and are now on a list.

Well I mean he's still a leftie
@@steelbear2063 Really? Comes across to me as pretty neutral. (This, commin from some1 who hates SJWs). Man.. he plays it well then..
Yeah he did. It was barely an inconvenience.
I don't watch the Pitch meetings for movies I haven't seen, but I do watch them for movies I'll never see.
Couldn't have said it better myself
Lol I watch ALL OF THEM ! I’m addicted since I found the channel ‘!
I saw it :(
I saw about 30 minutes of it, that's all I could take.
That's my same strategy,sir.
"What if four Mary Sues thought they were really funny and smart,
but were not?"
Plot locked in.
"We've made a ton of fantastic decisions here"...😂😂😂
I love that the studio executive only becomes frustrated when he can't get a clear answer of where the money comes from.
That’s the first time I’ve seen him that close to frustration
Because money is TIGHT!
2:23
"With what money?"
"Unclear."
Hilarious!!
Love that part two, at least in the 1984 Ghost busters there is that scene where they get the loan from the bank and have a ridiculously high interest rate. That was a funny social commentary and it explained how they funded the operation.
Being unclear is super easy, barely
Adam Montana The interest rate alone for the first five years comes to $95,000
I love that you parodied the comedic timing of the film with that overlong granny bit
God there's all kind of meta going on in these pitch meetings, that I'd never catch if people didn't point it out. Someone pointed out that producer guy went on a side quest during the PM on The Mandalorian - which is all about side quests.
"You're on a list now..."
"That's fair"
Hollyweird in a nutshell lol
😂😂😂
You’re on a list now 😂
"fair enough"😂😂
Thats fair
Being on a list is tight
+Brad Schmitt Ironically, that was the one line in the entire video that wasn't a joke!
That part made me laugh
"So he's going to take the form of a giant ghost with sensitive testicles?"
I almost spit my drink all over my laptop at this. 😅
I learnt not to be drinking nor eating while watching Pitch Meetings.....lol
I mean, to be fair I’d like to take the form of a giant ghost with sensitive testicles too.
are there any that arent sensitive?
Don't kink-shame, bro.
Kind of moot calling them sensitive testicals since all testicals are sensitive.
I found new pitch meeting catchphrase: "What a considerate villain."
In this hilarious context it looks like a 12 year old wrote the screenplay.
Producer: Then in a few years, we can make a sequel.
Writer: With what money?
Producer: I thought you said it was gonna make a lot of money?
Writer: Whoops!
Producer: Whoopsies!
Aren't they making a sequel to the originals right now with venkman's daughter
@@briancheuy7703 Egons grandson
Nothing confirms the Feig franchise is dead like a new franchise being slotted directly into the space it used to occupy.
I thought it was gonna say
Writer: With what money?
Producer: I Don't Know!
Writer: Whoops!
Producer: Whoopsie!
- With what money?
- Unclear!
That’s sexist of you to even ask that, you’re on a list now LMAOOO
Derek Lasker dang it , that's fair.
"Another one? Great"...
I proud to to be the 420th like 😎
Wow, you get called sexist without ever threatening or touching anybody?
Yeah, like it?
Yeah it’s very interesting that one word covers all those possibilities.
But that hasn’t happened yet.
Why?
Because were still in the past.
We are?
I see you don’t read my emails.
No, I mean yes I do read your emails…
So everyone’s a sexual predator in this present?
Yeah
OK, what else you got? Are there any car chases or machine guns, or faceless, huge armies fighting each other?
that's fair
Seven years after its release and I still have no regrets about skipping this movie entirely.
In the teaser for Ghostbusters afterlife, my favorite line is "There hasn't been a ghost sighting in over 30 years!"
BURN!
Everyone, especially Ghostbusters fans want to pretend this POS never happened.
What do you mean “pretend”?
@@mopanov LOL, agreed!
This episode made me realize that you actually have to sit down and watch some of these horrible movies sorry bro but thanks it's hilarious
Joshua Humes Ryan watches the bad movies so we don't have to.
Well okay then.
Woopsie
the hero we need but dont deserve
How he watch them? They're not made yet, he's pitching the movie here trying to get it made
Gender swap plotless money-grabs are tight!
Making them is also super easy, barely an inconvenience.
You should do spiderman into the spider verse
This thing was just meant to be an agenda pusher
@@aestheticyt8916 No. Anything from Hollywood that has an agenda is only meant to hide the fact that it's meant to make money

I want to work for one of these two guys. They both seem super chill and easy going.
Making unnecessary reboots of movies is tight
It's for the money.
@@Kevinsyel money is tight
I never understood the point of gender swaps. It's like they're trying too hard to give the other gender exposure. If you want to give female actors exposure, just put them in an original film.
Thats sounds like work. Why not just remake a movie that is alerady a blockbuster (Nostalia factor) But its Female now! (SJW Factor)
You forget, they’re too lazy to be original, AND they want you to swallow their political stances, AND they want you to pay them for it! 😁
*COUGH*Sigourney Weaver*COUGH*
As if an original hollywood film would do well.
Very true. Bridesmaids was a great film.
Every Pitch Meeting I've binge watched today had an ad below it to rent the movie... except this. The ad was for Ghostbusters 1984.
This pitch meeting is tight!
Wow wow wow, ....... wow.
I've started saying "well okay then" a lot more thanks to this series.
rocketman544 why tho.... I don’t know!

It's impossible to ruin Ghostbusters. "Actually it's super easy, barley an inconvenience!" Oh really?!
If the remake ruins ghostbusters for you need to touch grass
@@simoneidson21 he meant that it the movie was a bad ghostbusters movie. Not that it ruins the franchise
This made me realize how much commitment this takes. Having to watch Ghostbusters 2016 must be like getting kicked in the balls for 2 hours straight.
You're a trooper man.
Watched and like took notes ... Sounds excruciating
guess that really drives home the point that it wasn't meant for people with balls.
THE WHOLE EXISTENCE OF THIS FILM IS KICKING PEOPLE ON THE BALLS.
I'll take the two hours.
It was fun, but I'm a secure guy. I know, it just isn't as funny when people think you're an asshole and the movie is okay.
“Now you’re on a list” lol
I just watched this movie, and have to say that this review is 100% accurate.
I lost it at, "Well, I think we've made a bunch of fantastic decisions here today."
😂
I am here a year late, but I just want to give them props for two things; they were fair regarding the movie, and they didn't turn off comments like those cowards at Honest Trailers.
Ryan does not let them SJW or PCs get in the way of what is a review in comedy form but a serious review nonetheless.
@@blacknemesy and that's why he's the best reviewer slash comedic genius. There will never be enough Canadian comedians on this planet. We need more.
@@blacknemesy But how would Single Jewish Women or a desktop computer get in the way?
@@SurleyBlaine I legit thought that's what SJW stood for when I first saw it. Like an old singles ad or something 😆
Is the trailer still the most disliked UA-cam video?
"You're on a list now." Dammit, I had a mouth full of water....Had.
Swallowed it like a normal human being?
@Comrade von Herpenderpf You. By my comment.
Did you loose your mouth?
Drinking during pitch meeting is not super easy super an drinkinconvenience
And I thought Garfield was Murray's biggest mistake.
1:30 "wait, you're not an expert?"
"Oh god no, are you?"
"No, that's why I hired you."
"Ohh whoops!"
"Whoopsie!"
"Uhhhhh, did we forget a couple catchphrases?"
"YEAYEAYEA"
"Whoops!

Why does this have so many likes?
"and you're on a list now" lol, so true, especially now.
Ghostbusters 2016 is loose. Super inconvenient.
Like a wonton in a gallon of broth.
Also barely an easy task
This movie was the dumpster fire that other dumpster fire parents warn their dumpster fire children about as a cautionary tale.
As an anthropomorphic dumpster fire myself, I am offended by the comparison.
No it wasn’t, it was funny.
Scandal Fanatic it’s ok, you’re allowed to laugh at dumpster fires
It also set the low bar standard for all the other social virtue movies that were made afterward.
It would be funny, if hollywood actually learned from the mistakes this movie made but they didn't and movies of this kind still insult their fanbase and lobby accusations at the said fanbase for not watching the movie. Just look at Charlies Angels for the most recent example.
Imagine the outrage if the himbo secretary had been female...this is everything you should not do in a movie.
What this movie proved was how good of a writer Harold Ramis really was.
You cant afford that grandma, you need that money for Canada

Good job man, keep it up I've been watching a bunch of these!
“It’s sexist for you to even ask that, you’re on a list now”
“That’s fair” pretty much sums up the response to the criticism of this shitshow (GB2016, not this video!)
Yea we all gathered that...
Keanu Reeves is NOT the nicest person ever. now your name will be a lie
Also yeah, that's accurate.
I didn't know the shooting the ghost in the testicles thing until I saw this. Bit on the nose, not trying to hide at all that it's just meant to be a man-hating shitfest
Pretty much sums up the response to the criticism of anything political, "just get in with the program".

"you're on a list now" xD
I can't believe you were able to film the actual pitch meeting., the script pretty much wrote itself based on this meeting too. Great work guys.

This Pitch Meeting was so much better than the actual Ghostbusters (2016). You actually made the Ghostbusters reboot funny. No small feat, sir. Crazy.
In original Ghostbusters, there wasn't so much a funny one. They were all funny in different ways. This contrasted effectively with realistic characters they'd interact with, like the pragmatic secretary, the stuffy hotel manager, the hard-nosed EPA rep, and the opportunistic mayor.
In the New Coke Ghostbusters, just about everyone is a caricature.
The Original Ghostbusters was set in the real world. Fakebusters was set in feigs delusional mind.
In the 2016 film, they weren't all the funny one. They were all the trying too hard to be funny one.
New Coke Ghostbusters - Haven't heard that one before! Great way to sum it up!
@@dlxmarks Everyone in the new movie just wanted to be "the Venkman," so they all yelled loudly and acted as weird as possible. Aside from the fact that they were all terrible, a comedy cast can't simply be *all* Venkmans - there has to be some "straight (wo)men" to set them up.
wait hold on 1 second... new coke before being released was tested relentlessly with trial groups & most, if not all, of the trial participants preferred it to original coke.. the reason it did terribly was because at the time, changing your recipe as a soda company was a *big* deal, & so pepsi went on a slander campaign saying "we're better than coke because we don't have to change our recipe"... in other words, likening 2016 ghostbusters to new coke is like saying at any point in it's production people aside from those paid for it preferred it to original ghostbusters, which isn't true
The more indignant the "I don't know!" is, the happier I am.
Ryan George, you are glorious.
"You're on a list now"

WHO YOU GONNA CALL? CATCH PHRASES
Catch phrases are tight!
Making a bad movie is super easy, barely an inconvenience
Unless you're Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom. I actually had to look up the names of them because I only saw it once.
I remember looking forward to seeing this movie. And then I did. And it was stunning...
...ly bad. I exited the theater stunned. They definitely pulled one over on me.
A video about 2016 Ghostbusters where the comments are enabled? This channel has some balls
They should have made them the daughters of the original Ghostbusters.
I think that would have worked well.
Something- anything- else would have been better than what they did.
That... actually could've been pretty cool. Wouldn't have fixed all the plot holes though.
Technically Patty and Winston are family. Because, despite how woke the filmmakers think they are, the only two black characters are related.
Now that would have been good
