    After the 2016 reboot of Ghostbusters didn’t play well with fans, Sony didn’t waste much time before trying to relaunch the franchise once again to bring the fans something they’d be a little more satisfied with (and make some sweet sweet money.) The result is Ghostbusters: Afterlife, which sees Jason Reitman (son of the original’s director Ivan Reitman) take the helm and bust some ghosts.
    Ghostbusters: Afterlife definitely raises some questions though. Like why does everyone go about their lives after witnessing several ghosts fly right by their faces? How was the Statue of Libery walking down the streets of New York not a bigger deal, historically speaking? What’s Finn Wolfhard doing here? Why are those mini Stay Pufts alive and cooking themselves alive inside a Wal-Mart?
    To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Ghostbusters: Afterlife! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

    I grew up an 80s kid watching Ghostbusters whenever I could find it on TV. I went as a Ghostbuster for Halloween in 1989 hitting everyone dressed as a ghost or scary creature with my foam proton pack beam. I had the action figures, Ecto 1, comic books, VHS, DVDs, eventually getting the blu-ray of them. I watched both The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters and the crossover episode 'Back in the Saddle' always makes me feel like a child again. I will always be forever grateful to those amazing actors and voice actors and Ivan Reitman for helping shape my childhood all the way to now.
    This movie was a fantastic sendoff to both Ivan and Harold and the proper ending for the guys and a new beginning for a new era.

    I saw the movie tonight, same day as this pitch meeting. I knew Egon’s ghost would be in the movie but didn’t know they were selling his toy until now. That scene was ok when it shows Egon guiding Fibi’s hand. Then he stands besides the rest of the Ghostbusters which looked alright. It was when he starts hugging people that it started to feel too long and made me ask if Harold Ramis would even want that.

    Genuinely, the thing I hate the most about all these reboots 20 something years later is any happy ending a character is given has to be undone because apparently they need to manufacture some drama and making everyone miserable is just easier.

      Make sure you find the new channel launched this year which is just Pitch Meetings. It split off from this one which had mixed Screen Rant stuff.
