Anybody realize that Winston had the easiest job interview, not only did he get hired on the spot but he was asked only 1 question
And it resulted in him getting an honorary doctorate, saving the world three times and getting enough revenue to start his own company
Unfortunately, today, that's a possible red flag that your prospective employer is doing something shady or illegal! I speak from personal experience!
@@largol33t12 I mean…they were. The Proton Packs were unlicensed nuclear reactors, The Containment Unit was not EPA approved and the firehouse was described as a building containing asbestos and faulty wiring. In real life Peck would have every right to shut them down for running around in public with dangerous equipment and for storing the ghosts in something that could have easily been destroyed in a run of the mill power cut
Like what Ray said in Afterlife that ghosts were everywhere and the economy was great so getting a job with them would be the easiest interview during that time.
They was hiring for diversity so yeah. He got hired instantly with no skills 😂.
The guy who wandered into shot for the news segment is absolutely hilarious because he wasn't meant to be there.
I love that it does give it its 80s New York feel to it, and makes it even more believable. In the 80s when the movie came out this was the most NY movie you could even feel. I was a lil kid when it came out and the competition it had with GREMLINS was strong, yet GBs was all over with business commercials using its aesthetics.
I remember this car shop commercial that had a pair of little people that if I can remember appeared in movies, don't know if they were actual twins or that they used the same actor playing the other twin and they were using dressed as GBs with Proton Packs traying to to clear a Slimer-Like ghost from a car, and a version of the GBs theme song played. Been trying to see if someone has posted that commercial in YT for a long time but haven't seen it.
@@EternalRoman I know that Gremlins was supposed to take place in a small town somewhere in NY but I didn't get any NY vibes from that film.
@@cyotacorolla1489 Yeah, it didn't feel like NY at all to me. If anything to me it was a weird California, Chicago, Maine hybrid type of town to me.
Thought It felt like it was a Maine type of small town, didn't it? I mean, it would make sense how Billy's dad would take a long time to get home from a supposed NY Chinatown (which felt like a California type of Chinatown lol) to their home.
@@EternalRoman Maine, New Hampshire or Vermont. And the chinatown felt very LA lol.
@@cyotacorolla1489 Yup 🤣🤣
"No job is too big, no fee is too big..."
Lol.
why did i only JUST catch that? i guess when you're a kid you miss alot of stuff
Winston was a good addition to the team. Aside from Peter, he'd help bring the scientists down to earth from their lofty research dreams.
The scene with Winston and Ray smoking in the car is probably the best non-comedy moment in the movie. The situation's still kind of funny, I guess. In any case, a great scene
William Atherton deserves an Oscar for that role. He successfully convinced a large number of people, who hate him, he really was Peck. Perfect acting.
❤ 🤔 Maybe his big secret is *whispers* he's not acting JK. I have noticed every movie I've seen him in he always played the assh*le role. You're right, he's very good at what he does.
😊@@EnlightnMe48
Okay but here me out his character was kinda right about the grid not being completely foolproof so, it is what it is.
He also played a similar role in Die Hard too.
@@tylerpuszczewicz2535 and in Die Hard 2
"I may be a businessman, but I'll always be a Ghostbuster."
You and me both man.
And to think Winston was the one who went onto a financially successful life, and still held the Ghost Busters up.
It's a movie ffs 😆🤦🏾♂️
I don't care how he answered Janine's question. That look on his face definitely says, "Lady. What the hell are you talking about?" 😆
@@CurtisWhitehead-wn5bs 😂 Been there myself and accepted the job as I needed one. Got the most unique opportunity that I never could never give up.
I always looked at it as his gratitude for what the ghost busters brought him. We all owe our success, too, with a random chance sometimes. Very rarely do we get to pay it back.
@@crankfotton no shit Sherlock fucking Holmes, like who tf are you. People enjoy movies and like to talk about them. If that's too much for your pea brain to comprehend I suggest you avoid comments sections under film clips.
Little did Larry King suspect that thirty years later, a Ghostbuster was going to pour him a couple shots of vodka from a skull.
Ok ill bite, what are you referencing lol
@@The-Deadite Dan Akroyd owns Crystal Head vodka and served some to Larry King during an interview. Jontron did a hilarious video on it.
I use “I don’t have to take this abuse from you, I’ve got hundreds of people dying to abuse me” loads. It’s my favourite quote.
Gotta love the Chinese guy running out to give Egon and Peter food as gratitude for saving his restaurant XD
I've tried Chinese roasts like that and they are deeeeelicious!
That Chinese guy said "thank you" in Cantonese lingua to Ghostbusters.
Btw that food is actually rats..
@@gaylenewood7707 Yeah, but New York rats are quite big. You can feed a family on them.
@@gaylenewood7707 Rats are surprisingly good at keeping themselves clean when they have sanitary living conditions -- they're better for it than mice if I recall. I'd try one as long as I didn't have to be introduced to it first, meat is meat.
DISCLAIMER: Except for human meat, the stuff is literally toxic to us. Oh, and... something something respecting fellow man something something (hey, if are what you eat and you want to remain human...)
The more I have watched this movie the more I've come to like how Annie Potts played Jeanine.
The "Ghostbusters, whaddaya want!" is just so perfectly snarky.
(Oh, and a 35 foot long twinkie would, surprisingly, weigh only about 125 pounds)
But the weight that goes on the hips if you eat too many of those.....
@@seanwebb605 She thicc boi.
I don't know where you got that 125 lb figure from, because a 35-foot Twinkie would weigh about 53 _tons._ The Continental Baking Company, makers of Twinkies at the time under their Hostess brand, actually made a 10-foot Twinkie in 1980 to celebrate the snack cake's 50th anniversary; it weighed over a ton.
@@executor32 You couldn't have a free standing Twinkie of that size without offering some sort of skeletal system to give it structure and sustain its own weight and have some resistance to wind etc. I would suggest a gingerbread interior structure. That's going to add some weight.
The “Do you believe in God” scene between Winston and Ray is what makes this a great movie. No action. No quips or jokes. No vfx. Just two guys grappling with the very real stakes of what they’re doing.
I couldn't agree more, and especially at that point too, the mood had started to get very real and serious, especially with Louis and Dana being possessed with the spirit of Gozer, things were starting to get out their own control, and also with Ray discovering the unusual structure ironwork in Dana's apartment building. Winston was putting things into perspective as far as how serious things were going to get, unbelievable storytelling and it still gives me chills to this day, Ghostbusters wasn't just an action adventure, supernatural comedy, it had some range of how serious these situations took everyone on a ride and kept you on the edge of your seat.
What I don’t get is how Ray, as supposed intellectual man, is dismissive of the concept of God and the book of Revelations. The dude is literally catching ghosts for a living, something the proves beyond any shred of doubt that existence exists after death, and he’s here doubting the supernatural.
@@hisdudeness8328not really, what is a ghost in that universe? Think about it, in our universe, we define ghosts as, well ghosts, a departed that chooses to stay. But in their universe, a ghost could be anything, afaik, they never defined what a "ghost" is. It's just that "ghost" is the closest thing that they could use to describe these new beings.
Believing in ghosts isn't a concept mutually exclusive to theism.
If God really WERE a perfect being they wouldn't exist because (according to The Bible) God NEVER makes mistakes
Back when 11500 a year was enough to live comfortably in New York. What a time to be alive
Sounds like my old man.
“You know, back in my day, X cost this much!”
And I’m always like, “Yeah? And how much were you paid an hour?”
Usually shuts him up.
@@hisdudeness8328I know what you mean. These guys come from a time where you could work one job at a gas station pump, and buy a 1900 square foot home within a year…meanwhile we can barely keep the lights on working two jobs and we get called lazy
2:24 Bustin made him feel good
😂
This is a cinematic masterpiece, there's no room for improvement because it's a perfection of direction and production and casting and of course acting, brilliant in every way!
Winston was obviously in need of work. Your telling me a guy like him couldn't get a job anywhere else? Or are you saying this is the first place he applied?🤣🤣
Seems like a more interesting job compared to flipping burgers, and as he says "As long as the pay's good"
Beautiful, you're hired. What a movie ! Every moment is solid gold !
Every single moment, I must have seen it hundreds of times
Such great chemistry between the 4 of them.
And to think Winston is the only Ghostbuster to keep the dream alive.
You can never convince me that this was Winston’s first day on the job, your bosses could never been so nice, smoking with them talking to them like you are a business partner, Peter and Janine’s relationship is the perfect description of a boss employee relationship
His role was much larger in the old script from what I remember
To be fair, the Ghostbusters were college proffessors who quit tenure to go do a passion project.
They are by definition cool dudes.
@@JoshSweetvale they didn’t quit, they were fired
They were sleep deprived, weren’t they?
Tbf you're right and the acting is a little off in that context. Feels like he's been there a while.
2:49 minute "If There's a Steady Paycheck in it, I'll Believe Anything You Say"
I’m sure lots of people would believe anything for good money.
👻💵👻💵👻💵
I see some youngsters commenting about the job interview and smoking in the interview. Lets not forget, the family Doctor smoked while giving checks ups
The fact that a movie aimed at kids and families has the lead actors smoking in every single scene is just hilarious
Smoking in movies back then was normal
@@peteralexander2941 yes, that's what I'm laughing at. How incredibly normalised it all was
When I was a kid, you were still asked smoking or non-smoking when you went to a dine-in restaurant.
In the 80s there weren't as many effeminates as there are at this time.
@Nickgowans I think the smoking makes sense. Wouldn't you be filled with anxiety if you were always dealing with ghosts?
Such a classic.
I'd almost forgotten what a lovely woman Sigourney was....
Annie Potts, Sigourney Weaver and Rick Moranis stole so many scenes in that movie. It was so much fun.
And we were pre-Aliens. She reached a new level of awesome.
@@AndyJay1985 Alien was in 79, but Aliens, yes by a year
From a practicality standpoint, they should've had at least a team of 10 with rotating shifts
I was interviewed by a guy on a loading dock during his smoke break... I've now been at that company for almost 4 years and I'm one of the most trusted employees.
Wtf R you talkn about ?
He probably asked if you believe in any entities including the rake, Lockness monster, the ayuwoki, boe jiden, the jersey devil, etc
I've watched my old Ghostbusters dvds after ten years later thanks to the newest version it made me to love the Ghostbusters again.....even know I was still fan of them which I got bored I decided to put down behind me but now I once again love the Ghostbusters again
Dana's fellow musician didn't trust Peter any more than Lt. Cmdr. Hobson trusted Data...
Ha no way I couldn’t place it and was just about to look him up!
Considering he later killed Inspector Todd right in front of Axel during an attempted arrest, I don’t give a damn WHO that lowlife does or doesn’t trust.
Well Louise didn't trust him when he attempted to rape Thelma
Same actor?
And to think that Winston would end up being the one to keep the Ghostbusters going…
having a ghost that blows you just sounds awesome
Damn right
I thought it was a hand job.
Just ask your sis ?
@@jimdoe3288 im sorry what
Until you realise that ghost might be your great grandmother and you have no way of stopping it.
This film is so perfect 9 free minutes of it is heaven.
It’s so clear of any of its sequels. None have or could hold up to the original.
You CAN have it your way . . . Mr. Venkman . . . at BURGER KING. hahahahaha
Deadpan, Dr Vinkman asks, “What about the Twinkie?”
LOL!
“Where’s the FUCKING twinkies!”
- ZombieLand
LOL! That EPA guy sounds like a.......
Real Genius. 😂😂😂
“Count on it.”
Ba-da-bum ching - *rim shot* 😂😂👍
"Ahhhh yinz turn your heads right now" probably my fondest memories from my Dad when the Ray ghost "love" scene came on 😂😂😂
I saw Ghostbusters when I was super young on vhs. Every version after was on TV. I thought I had dreamt this scene, and something was super wrong with me growing up.
"If there's a study bay check in it im good even though in the future ill own ghostbusters "😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
3:40 I bet that's Oscars dad
Ernie Hudson is a cool freindly laid back guy at conventions 😊 Thats a big Twinki!
Sigourney Weaver is just unbelievably beautiful here.
Haven't seen this film for years what a classic Bill Murray lol.
Apparently the sound man went crazy when he saw there was a fountain in the Lincoln center scene with Dana and Peter
"No job is too big, no fee is too big." 🤣🤣
Love the (Bearded Jean Jacket) Guy at :20 Getting His few seconds Of "Fame" :) & Each Actor/Actress Has an Immense Importance to the Whole Show, Superb Acting!!!
It's really cool that after 40 years Ghostbusters is still so populair, and that has so many fans. I was born a year after this movie came out saw it a few years later, i saw Ghostbusters 2 to and i saw Ghostbusters with the ladies in the cinem, Afterlife in the cinema, and frozem empire
8:12, just realized that when Dr Peter Venkman tells Walter Peck the magic is please, when he says, may I please see the storage unit mr venkman, William Atherton almost broke character.
Been watching Ernie Hudson lead the promotion of Frozen Empire. The man is a phenom. At 78 he looks as good as the late Carl Weathers did in Predator!
I just realized that they are holding the ghost traps up like they're rodent exterminators holding dead rats.....
The fact that Walter Peck - a man who is simply trying to stop the Ghostbusters from operating literal unlicensed nuclear accelerators in the middle of MANHATTAN is made out to be the villain, and a massively hated one as well, is easily the funniest aspect of this entire movie.
Also perfectly encapsulates the 80's anti-government and de-regulatory mindset.
Winston Zedmore...my favorite
Best job in the world. Who wouldnt want to work with these guys...
Excellent scene and movie Ghostbusters
I wish Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver were in more movies together, they make a classic 'slow burn' love duo
Winton’s response is in my mind any time any manager starts giving me their personal business ideology and seem to be looking for my approval.
The deadpan look of concern. "What about the Twinkie?"
The realist moment in cinema
The most non-token black character from an era that only had token black characters.
Winston is the embodied voice of the normal man. Nothing else.
I had this argument with my wife recently. The 80s was not full of "tokens". There were some, but some of the best films had full fledged characters.
Ray: 100% a believer in the supernatural and proving it all exists.
Egon: A skeptic using science to give a logical and scientific explanation to the supernatural.
Peter: Wants to make money off the supernatural.
Winston: He just needed a job.
One of the greatest movies ever! Right up there with Back to the Future, Top Gun I, Ferris Buellers Day Off, Princess Bride, Rocky 1. 2, &3, Tombstone, Last Samurai, Gladiator, and Meatballs, What about Bob, Good Will Hunting. Yeah Im an 80's kid and no better movies.
totally respect winston quote
Winston was always my favorite, even more so as an adult.
Bustin' makes me feel good!
Such a wise man.
2:00 "Dan, we have to cut the colonial investigation scene."
"Fine, as long as we still get the ghost BJ in there somewhere."
"Yeah, we should be able to -- wait what?"
"IT'S A WELL DOCUMENTED PARANORMAL EVENT STOP KINGKSHAMING ME"
"But... why?"
"It's important to my interests!"
The way MeeMaw conducted the interview it would've sounded like that with conversation with Sheldon.
Famous last words. Hey, if a prospective employer gave me a steady paycheck, I'd believe whatever they say too! Winston seems to have plenty of experience with job interviews. I wished we could learn more about his life before he met the other three. This was ORIGINALLY supposed to happen but they had trouble finding someone who wanted to play Winston. Rumors still persist that Eddie Murphy was approached and turned the role down.
According to the novelization by Richard Mueller, Winston had just gotten out of the Air Force and had training in electronic counter-measures and hand-to-hand combat. Plus, Ray did like that he was black, as some supernatural entities gravitated towards African-Americans.
@@captmurdock Well, thanks.... guess i'm gonna have to read the book now.
@@captmurdock I keep forgetting that darkstalkers tend to have a bias for tracking and harassing specific groups even though it's not (at least, it doesn't seem to be) out of malice.
Peck is a good representation of an agent of the 3 letter agencies
Classic
“Pay a man enough and he’ll walk barefoot into Hell”
Sounds about right
older I get I actually get the point the EPA guy had, they just didn’t need to be so aggressive about it. Dangerous stuff the Ghostbusters were keeping smack in downtown.
Winston and Janine were absolute legends in this film .
What?
@@crankfotton What I just said
Said every preacher ever …
“I have seen shit that’ll make you turn white!” Lol one of my favs of Winston’s
1:11 "the politics of the next dimension, do ghots have civil rights?" poster - now that's an interesting angle to explore in upcoming movies!
I like the photo bomber at about 025 that was chanelling Charles Manson...
6:02 I hope to see in the Frozen Empire that there will be more Ghostbusters precincts like police officers. Cadets will have to go through each training about emptying ghost traps.
Alright cadets, you will learn how to clean out the ghost traps! After you have successfully captured ghosts you will return them here to be incarcerated! These are simple procedures! So listens well because it won’t be repeated twice nor one hundred times!
6:28 EVERYBODY GOT THAT! Good!
Peck was just doing his job
He was being an ass about it, notice he kept referring to him as 'Mr' despite Venkman having 2 PHD's?
@@xaiano794 True true but I think it's more like, he knew these guys were clearly shady as hell so don't go easy on them - especially when you see see Venkman having such a blasé attitude
9:13 *that’s a big Twinkie*
2:35 “If There’s a Steady Paycheck in it, I’ll Believe Anything You Say”
Just watched the new one! Fantastic!!!!
It's worth reiterating that Winston did not believe in ghosts when he joined the company. He came around.
Pause at 2:23. Dan Akroyd doing his best Slimer impersonation.
Bill Murray should've said, sure I'll show you EVERYTHING, and the epa guy ran away crying.
4:12 Can somebody please tell me what type of medication "the stiff" is taking and for what condition? Is it for allergies or for asthma?
So there is something called a vicks vapoinhaler and it's primary ingredients are lavender oil and levomethamphetamine. Then there is benzedrex which is lavender oil and propylhexedrine, another amphetamine. Both are used for allergies and asthma. They're available over the counter at pharmacies
@@joestrummer4106 A google search brought up Afrin, Synephrine, Sinex, etc.
😅i had a crush on Egon
The dry sense of humor and playing straight all the paranormal jargon is what made the original Ghostbusters funny. Even Peter knew there was something serious behind, "The Twinkie."
Ghostbusters IS New York.
This movie was a love letter to NYC
Venkman could sense that Peck was an a**hole from a mile away, which is why he made his life harder.
1:08 Anyone notice anything odd??
This movie was perfect for the 80s, the best decade in history, that's why today's sequels don't feel the same, in fact, they are very forced.
Yeah, what a great decade... *_oh wait:_*

….what about the Twinkie?
I wish they scenes of them actually catching the ghosts those different locations like
China town.
Fun fact, Eddie Murphy was originally going to be Winston and join during the hotel bust.
This is what the New films are missing, Just them getting calls about ghosts in the area, busting them, and making jokes and having funny things happen to em as they try to catch said ghost.
40 years later and his black still didn’t crack
Not one situational judgement question, are they MAD?
Love that the EPA guy is the bad guy and getting that acted to play Peck is brilliant, but he kind of has a point and I can't believe I'm on the side of the EPA but if rogue people just started building random nuclear reactors as part of their business and they were all unregulated we'd probably have a lot more nuclear explosion incidents so there's a reason we use regulation and the EPA and other governing bodies to make sure people aren't doing that. We don't know what the ghostbuster thing is shutting it off was not a good thing but that made me a popped it some point in the future so it's just one of those things you notice You seen the movie hundreds of times what is you watch it more as you get older You realize the Ghostbusters kind of play loose with safety.
I wonder what the job advertisement said.
