![How Ghostbusters: Afterlife Brought Back THAT Legacy Character [SPOILER WARNING!]](/img/tr.png)
" You are a perfect match for this film. Ghostbusters are scientists, Ghostbusters are makers, Ghostbusters are believers, they are kinda everything that you are. I think you are a ghostbuster throughout". - Jason Reitman to Adam Savage. Not gonna lie , I felt those lines through my soul.
That was awesome.
Totally agree. That was a true compliment to Adam and completely deserved. Very cool.
If there are two people in the world that I could easily imagine realizing there is a ghost problem, building a way to solve it, and going out and testing it until they're catching ghosts it's Jamie and Adam.
Adam Savage: the 6th Ghostbuster
I smiled all the way through this interview, then changed to an excited big grin when Jason said this. God only knows how special that line felt to Adam.
I hope Jason, Sony, and Ghost Corps pack the 4K disc with a ton of behind the scenes making of features. Not just the typical talking heads stuff, but deeper dive stuff similar to this. The process of writing it, creating the effects and props, getting the band back together, all of it.
Yup that will be my first DVD I'll buy day 1
Yes 100%
Go outside for a walk mate…
@@HEATSEEKER00 maybe take your own advice. Who are you to judge any body?
@@HEATSEEKER00 Cool story bro.
Litterally playing with his dad's toys. Love it.
That last line made my eyes swell...
Dude became a ghostbusters fan without even realizing it
I heard that line once in a porn video.
What a great, intimate interview!! Please please make this a recurring series on the channel….interviews with filmmakers of iconic movies like this!
^^THAT^^ (...inDEED!...)
It was! Check out the old talking room videos. Tested, please bring them back!
Yes please! Some of my favourite videos are when Adam, Norm, or any of the Tested crew get to geek out with someone on a topic in an interview format. You can always tell that there's a genuine interest and that they'd be asking the same questions with or without a camera rolling!
Studios need to learn something from Ghostbusters: Afterlife's marketing...every commercial, every tweet, every interview...not ONE of these contained any derogatory remarks towards those who spend their hard earned money on these franchises. No one involved with Afterlife ever said a negative thing towards the fans of the movies. Jason Reitman has shown the utmost respect towards his father and towards the franchise, a franchise that he was literally present for at its birth (since he was a kid on set). This is how you get old fans of franchises to give your movie an opportunity to succeed.
Yeah, it reminds me of how they marketed Dune as well; the focus seemed as much on the effort to do justice to the source material as the actual film and star power and story. I also love that Adam was involved in a small way with the movie so we got to see how some props are made!
100% agree! Here's looking at YOU...Lucasfilm/Disney! If a film in a franchise ISN'T made for the Fans, then who the hell is it made for?
@@willybeeproductions9357 Its made for Kathleen Kennedy's personal sick ego.
To be fair, most of the cast are kids and not adults. BARELY old enough to have social media accounts too.
Also your statement has one hole in it. Jason did make a derogatory remark about his dads work. But, he has since apologized with the movie. They are no longer full of crap
Thats probably the coolest thing I've heard a director say.
It's true, a friend group can do a better job than co-workers.
I'm a grown ass man, watched the original in theaters as a boy, and genuinely got misty-eyed at the end of the new one. What a treat to watch, I can feel the passion on and off the set, and appreciate the hard work that went into paying homage to the original. Thank you to the team of Afterlife, and Adam for this fantastic interview!
The Tested crew saw Afterlife together, and there was a lot of snuffling and wiping at eyes in our row.
im 39, grew up with it, the cartoons.... and everything
i outright cried all out ugly cry at how emotional it got me at the ending... and then laughed my butt off at the mid/post lol
I've not talked to any fan who's seen it who didn't feel emotions all the way through the film. Phoebe firing up the pack for the first time and hearing it got me lol.
@@Btrempe top to bottom- start to close. it hit emotional on every bit... the opening of how egon died... pheobe turning on the pack. egon moving lights and helping. showing his daughter he did love her... i mean im tearing up just thinking about all of it now
52 year old here, i wished I'd taken a tissue with me 😭
I watched it saterday, going again Friday 😁
Loved it ! Thank you everyone involved 👍
Ghostbusters afterlife was for me the best surprise of the year in cinema. According to me, this is the best way to do a respectable sequel from a old franchise!
Agreed!
Dam straight 👍
An a actual proper sequel, may they learn from the mistake from their last outing.
@@Reg101st Reitman wasn't involved with the 2016 film
@@andrewft31 No but it was still Sony that let it happen. They weren't careful enough with their IP.
I need a sequel, I pray Jason comes back too. It’s entirely clear that he truly cares about the world and feel of the originals, and also having someone who’s made such smaller movies allows the film to not only be a spectacle but a human story at its core
To many issues in afterlife....I say stop
I haven’t had a theater experience like Afterlife since 2019. Jason did a fantastic job.
Which movie was it, for you, in '19?
@@DrNothing23 avengers endgame was the last time I had that much fun
@@wickedwood04 Wow! That's a hefty comparison. Looking even more forward to seeing this now!
@@DrNothing23 lol well idk if I would compare the two. I'm just saying that I havnt had that much fun in the theater since then. If you like ghostbusters I think you will like it. 95% rotten tomatoes score currently by the fans. This movie made me laugh and tear up. That's a pretty darn good movie in my book.
@@DrNothing23 once upon a time in hollywood... again in 2019. i still remember rick dalton charring the manson family with a flamethrower. and then the batman commercial at the end left me nearly in tears. its funny how that movie to me felt like the end of an era, and then covid came.
I could have watched 10 hours of this and never gotten tired of it. Thank you, Adam. Thank you, Jason.
"In a way you are a Ghostbuster."
I literally teared up. What an amazing revaluation.
imagine seeing Ghostbusters the 1st time not knowing one day Ivan's son and director of a new movie will call you a Ghostbuster
Saw it and LOVED IT! Afterlife is FULL of HEART and that sense of adventure we had back in the 80s! They nailed everything perfectly! Casting, soundtrack, acting, directing, mood, humor, throwbacks... I mean WOW! Bravo to all involved, it's a success!
That is what they got right with this one. It was driven by the characters and their interactions with each other rather than trying to be a funny film like 2016 did (and failed to do). Those awkward and silly moments people have with friends along with a huge dollop of reference to the original Ghostbusters. Afterlife is a great film and a beautiful tribute to Harold.
I wish they would make a digital copy of that beta tape for the fans to watch. Super interesting.
I'd love and pay good money to watch it!
That and a scan of the marked up script.
Just leave it as is & use your imagination 👍
@@BMicalMusic 👎
I AGREE! This needs to be on the bonus features!! I've bought SO many versions of the original Ghostbusters...Beta, VHS, Criterion Laserdisc, DVD, two or three different Blu-Ray's...but we've never seen that Beta tape...it would be fascinating to see!
I was able to visit Ghost Corps in 2016 and met Ivan Reitman. What an awesome experience.
Afterlife was such a great movie! i would have NO issue what so ever if those kids picked up the ghostbuster torch. the two sounds of that movie that turned me a 43 year old man into a 6 year old was the proton pack power up and the ecto one siren. go see this movie. the last ten minutes will make you cry tears of joy.
Hell I started balling when Egon's ghost helped fix the Ecto 1 and that old ambulance started power sliding around town.
@@lim-dulspaladin50 Hell it got to me when I realized who was driving that truck through the Shandor mine's gates...
Saw it a few days ago, and just thinking about the last ten minutes is making me cry. It was so well-written, and had so much heart! They were so respectful of Harold Ramis' death, and it made me feel so wonderful to see the way they handled it.
When Ecto1 screeched out with sirens blaring I teared up and my bottom lip went.
@@jamesjackson7004 guilty as charged. Somewhere in there... my 8 year old self was losing its mind😆

Loving all this Ghostbusters content. Two of my favourite things colliding. Adam Savage and anything Ghostbusters.
Jason: I just want to thank you and your team for the gift of this film. It took me back to when I was a kid seeing your father's vision. I only wish Harold could have been around to bring the band together completely. Well done!
I love how the Ghostbusters franchise works so closely with Adam. They really know their audience.
I just saw this film and LOVED it! Thank you Sony for fixing this franchise. I hope all of Hollywood is paying attention. THIS is how you pass a baton in a franchise and how you fix a franchise that’s gone off the tracks.
ive loved adam savage and ghostbusters since i was 8, maybe even younger for adam. seeing them come together is such a delight for me as a massive ghostbusters fan, i hope theres more to come!!!!!!!!
I am a bit behind so just watched this, and after watching the film and too be honest my wife and I cried at the ending and just felt the film deep in our soul and being a big fan of Adam too and cannot express how much joy it brings knowing Adam had a hand in the film. Hats off to you and Jason Reitman and the crew and cast for being so much joy into the film and enjoying it so much in the cinema. It was this film that let me put aside my covid-19 worries and forget the real world and enter the Ghostbuster world. Thank you.
I would love to visit this place!
Adam, your GBA coverage has been awesome. Got everyone even more hyped.
My 5 year old daughter loves the original movie, and was excited to see this when it released in theaters. It was a great experience to share, I was her age when I saw the original in 84, and fun to see her recognize all of the Easter eggs. Thank you for giving us the chance to enjoy this memory together.
I would just love to be working there, every single day. Oh and go see Ghostbusters!
The Movie was Amazing! I wanted to go straight to the ticket window and watch the next showing. Can't wait to buy it. Great job on the film.
I just watched the movie last night. I started crying about half way through it. It's a fantastic movie.
This movie was heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time and a great send off for a vital member of the Ghostbusters legacy. Go see it and I hope we get a sequel soon.
Oh my god this was so satisfying. I think this video made me realize that this movie is special not just because of the two hours of screen time we got but for all the entertaining ancillary materials we’re seeing. They make up hours and hours and hours of fascinating conversation and I’m thankful!
To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
Are you saved? Where will you go when you die? Heaven or hell?
The Gospel, which means the Good News is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. Although God's creation was created perfect, having no death, sickness and disease, the creation became corrupted through Adam and Eve in them disobeying God. In this rebellion the creation became fallen through the curse of sin and mankind became separated from God. This world is fallen, but God offers reconciliation to him through his provision at the cross. Ultimately God will restore his creation to perfection when he returns but those that who reject his offer of redemption will remain condemned by their sins and go to hell.
John 1:1,14
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us,
1 John 3:8 KJV
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Isaiah 9:6 KJV
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
John 1:10
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT.
Saw it this weekend, I loved it so much! I had Heart, nostalgia, action and everything I wanted to see in a ghostbusters movie!
Seen Afterlife twice already, seeing it once more before the weekend. Thank you Jason Reitman and everyone involved for bringing us a true Ghostbusters sequel.
Amazing interview, amazing movie. Really happy this franchise is taking new exciting turns
Great film! Amazing cast, fun cinematography, wonderful blend of old and new storyline. Thank you for reminding us about how timeless the Ghostbusters franchise truly is! This film not only confirms but preserves the classic and entertaining Ghostbusters films. Definitely a MUST see!
Thank you Jason for making a film for the fans … how refreshing in today’s Hollywood.
They did an amazing job on this film. I absolutely loved it. The connection to the lore, the old film and the fans is so obvious and perfect for people who already enjoyed the Ghostbusters universe, but not even slightly intrusive for people who haven't seen any of it before. An absolute masterpiece.
His words towards Adam are every fans dream... love love your videos
What a huge success!
We have a real Ghostbusters Trilogy now!
Jason''s closing lines to Adam had me tearing up... not gonna lie.
I'm totally craving a sequel to afterlife with this crew.
Ghostbusters is timeless. No matter how many times I see the movies, I never get tired of watching them. Thank you, Ivan and Jason. Thank you.
Thank you Adam and Jason. This interview is for the archives. “After Life” is the part 3 we’ve been waiting for!
This movie was what all Ghostbusters fans' souls needed. Thanks to Jason Reitman.
I saw it twice last weekend, and I'm going back at least once this weekend. It's SO MUCH FUN!!! And it's so incredibly touching.
Man... Reitman is making me want to be an actor, go bowling, chill out have some fun... what a gig
This is the best interview of Jason on G:A. I learned more of the happenings here than in any other interview to date. Thank you Adam.
The service to the fans made this movie an instant classic. I can’t even think about certain scenes without getting choked up. I can’t wait to see it again. And again. And again.
I really enjoyed how Adam conducted this interview and the editing was great, kept my attention the entire time. I’d love to see Adam do more of this type of interview!
I've been waiting decades for this movie and the cast & crew knocked it out of the park.
The sound itself in "Ghost Busters Afterlife" was fantastic. Can't wait for the movie release...!!
SO many moments had me just smiling ear to ear lol. They even fit the "Who you gonna call" line in lol. I think we all needed that final goodbye from Harold too.
I think this is the best tested video I have ever seen (and that is saying a lot) a chance to sit friend to friend and talk about this great movie and how it came to be.. I am just wetting my pants with anticipation.. and at 70 that alone says a lot! I haven't been to a movie theater in over 10 years.. Carry on son.. and thanks ever so much for your sharing all you share..
i'm truly thankful that we finally have a 3rd movie.
I am SO thankful for what Jason has done with Afterlife and now with Frozen Empire with Gil. Thank you all for the care you are taking with this franchise.
Everything was amazing in this film, and I loved it from start to finish. You did an excellent job, Jason! I especially loved the car chase scene and the "Who Brought The Dog" score fit perfectly in it.
I love seeing the level of care and reverence all involved with the film have. Wish all the best for Savage, Reitman, cast and crew!
That was just heart-warming!
I need more like this in a time where everything seems to screw up on a daily basis.
Adam, you saved my day (once more)!
Adam, knowing how passionate you are about Ghostbusters, very cool to have Jason say, "You ARE a Ghostbuster." Brought a tear to my eye for you.
What a hell of a compliment Adam gets at the end. WOW. Did not realize just how much Adam contributed to the film.
Looking at Adam's face, you can just feel how much that meant to him. Such a great moment!
Aztec death whistle really pulled the movie together.
watched the '84 version so much. it was a treat to actually see it re-released to theatres a while back ago. its amazing how much subtlety there is in the film that you dont see on a t.v. screen.
I saw Afterlife yesterday 11-22-21 and it fulfils what I love about the franchise. Loved it in every way. Thanks Jason and Adam. Oh and I am months in to the Eco 1 build.
So cool to be able to honor your fathers Legacy with this movie. I tear up when I drive my fathers truck and sing the song for my father, but I lost my father years ago. This must be emotional to do for sure just because of the legacy!
you know its good when after watching it, all you want is to cross paths with the people behind it, give them a hug and say a deep and meaningful "thank you".
Thanks for providing the next needed chapter of Ghostbusters. I loved it.
Watched it twice and the end made me cry both times ! This truly is something stranger and special
I'm so glad the legacy was restored from that last outing. There so much emotional connection fans have to the original thank you for Afterlife.
Awesome interview. I would love to see that test screening since that is something most people never get to experience - would be interesting to see what the original audience got to see. But for them to have that, the script, etc is super since so often that stuff is lost and it really is a part of history. His casting director also working with Nolan explains a lot as Nolan's films always seem to have the perfect person for the role, same here with Afterlife. It was a great film, hoping to see more of them. The fact that it finally got released and on my birthday was just a plus.
I love that this is an actual physical place.
I absolutely loved the way they were able to incorporate Egon in the story. Very appropriate and very moving
Amazing insight in the first 9 minutes. THANK YOU for not cutting that out.
The essence of the finale ghostbusting climax special Fx was dominated and almost rendered insignificant just by the emotional presence of Harold as it converged into both the reel & real world in the minds of the captivated audience.
His not talking and only showing facial expressions also added the emotional outburst.
Gr8 to see all (4) of them virtually reunited after all these decades.
This may well be the final time we'll ever see our heroes together.
It's T.R.O. - Time Running Out for everyone, no question.
Thank you for this epic scene which may never happen again.
Jason is the right man to have made this fabulous movie and how absolutely fantastic that he gets how brilliant 'our Adam' is and that Jason cares about the fans...the makers...thanks to Adam and others i have built my own replica props that are so much more special and familiar now that our own hands made them.
I honestly got a little teary at the end when Jason was telling Adam what a ghostbuster is and that they are everything Adam is. So sweet
Very nearly gave up on big-budget Hollywood films entirely until I saw this last weekend. Thank you, Jason and crew! Faith restored!
Amazing! thanks for sharing this wonderful conversation with us!
This was beyond perfect. This movie oozes with respect, it's incredible how it shows in the final product, I loved it (and I really wasn't a fan of the original idea of it becoming a kids movie, but the cast was stellar and convinced me 10 minutes in). Thanks Adam for this very special look behind the scenes.
this was a wonderful heartfelt movie, its been a while since a movie teared me up...what a great interview here too, thanks Adam.
What Jason says at the end ... What an absolute tribute to you , left me smiling :-)
Thank you very much Jason and Ivan ... Amazing movie ... I've seen the movie 3 times and I think I'll see it a fourth time. The love with which they made this movie is incredible
Why no thanks to Dan? He wrote the original story based on his grandfather's belief in the supernatural and the occult and Ramis for making the story cohesive.
@@andrewft31 Of course, Dan too, mastermind. You're right ... Thanks for Afterlife
I could listen to those two talk about this sort of stuff for hours 🥰. It's such a rarity to see souch passion for something when it comes to Hollywood movies nowadays. You can tell how much it means to both of them.
Totally awesome interview and Jason was just so exceptional in everything, and truly thankful to the both of you and can't wait to see it on the BIG Screen.
I love this. The passion and joy about this project shared between these two gentlemen is great to see, and the last bit is really quite touching.
"... we have to make a movie that makes them happy". That is the perfect definition of fan respect and what real fan service MUST do. We are the ones buying tickets, merch, and copies. We are the ones that need the product. The company simply puts things together so that the "Fan Service" is done in a way that doesn't feel artificial or mocked. Thank you, Adam, for this amazing episode!
Thank you for this Inside view. It makes so much fun to listen to you both. Keep up the good work. Stay safe.
Ah man! Big hugs for everyone involved in Ghostbusters Afterlife and Adam! Very cool that he was apart of it. And Ghostbusters Co!
It feels like there were a lot of cut scenes, I hope we'll get a extended/director's cut come next year.
Mckenna and Finn talked about some deleted scenes in a video that's out there. Also, that chip bag popping in the trailer wasn't in the movie, was it? Every GB movie has had lots of deleted scenes. But it will be interesting to see if Jason decides to use them to make an extended cut or just put them in a deleted scenes section.
Afterlife absolutely needs and deserves a sequel from this team. Thank you 🙏🏆🍿
To be in the room with these 2 would have been a dream for myself as not only a filmmaker but also a Ghostbusters fan.
What a freaking honor to be a part of this
Adam, you have to be the best host of an interview I have ever seen and of course an integral part of the films creation.. This is a truly great interview in every way. As Fun , educational, and informative , as the iconic films you were discussing / honoring.
Incredible interview. Thank you Adam!
I've told my friends that haven't watched it that it's all heart with a dash of comedy.
This was a de-freaking-light! More excited than ever to see the movie, and dang I could watch Adam talking shop with directors, vfx pros etc till the cows come home ^^
Also holy cannoli if that first screening beta tape is ever made available to the public how amazing would that be to watch 0_o
Such a great film. So much gentle humor, heart, and delightful nostalgia.
Looking forward to more Ghostbusters movies. Please keep it within the family.
Very late to the conversation but I must say I felt the words as others. Your humility and lack of ego in creating so much for us all to enjoy shows in the respect from your peers. Thank you for sharing so intimately on this industry and your life.
This was the best featurette I've watched since The Making of Star Wars when I was a kid. Jason goes from being a fresh mouthed kid in Ghostbusters II to being this amazing filmmaker and storyteller. LOVED Ghostbusters : Afterlife...as did my entire family. My 10 year old daughter was thrilled with it, she's artistic and I believe she has eyes on working in the film industry one day. I did too when I was her age, but the film industry in Toronto hadn't sparked yet, and I had high school councilors that dissuaded me at every turn. But my daughter won't have that problem. I encourage her to follow her dreams no matter what anyone says. Perhaps she'll work on a Jason Reitman film some day!
Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a wonderful theater experience … what a way to capture & re capture some movie magic … this fan immersive behind the scenes and inclusive marketing approach was outstanding … makes watching & rewatching the movie more rewarding … well done!
This is waaaay too personal of a comment for UA-cam, but I teared up a bit at the end of Afterlife and teared up a little at the end of this interview when Jason was describing how important it was to have you involved and how the Ghostebusters where makers like you! Really good stuff! (when are you selling death whistle casts)
Huge spoiler in your first sentence. Please edit so you don’t ruin it for anyone. Thanks.
Jason Reitman is now my favorite contemporary filmmaker. He absolutely nailed it.
This video (and of course the movie) made my heart so full. Thank you Adam, thank you Tested, thank you Jason.
