The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 101 (Ghostbusters 2)



The Uncut Gems Podcast

The Uncut Gems Podcast is a show where a bunch of like-minded individuals gather around a virtual table to discuss films that for one reason or another have become forgotten. Tongues pressed firmly in cheek, the team don their film historian top hats and rant from sedentary positions to hopefully conclude whether the film in question deserves to be covered by sands of time or if it is a classic in dire need of attention.

We are closing the year by talking about Ghostbusters 2! Join us and hear us discuss whether this movie can hold the candle to the 1984 original, if Vigo is a better villain than Gozer, whether the chemistry between the boys is still there and if the comedy lands the way it did. We also discuss the thematic relevance of the brand, the logistics of having the Statue of Liberty become a Godzilla for one hour, argue over Peter MacNicol's vibe and openly disagree about one particular joke!

Tune in, follow, like and subscribe at your podcatcher of choice and be sure to follow the show on Twitter and Instagram as well! You can also support the show on Ko-fi! Also, be sure to subscribe to our Patreon for more exclusive podcasts.
