We Need to Talk About Ghostbusters: Afterlife – Trailer Reaction & Rant


My rant and trailer reaction for the new Ghostbusters sequel which releases tomorrow is now available online. I livestreamed this initial rant last week but I’ve now edited it into a more enjoyable and comprehensive form.

      Well, it is a reaction to all three trailers, as well as a wider discussion of the franchise as a whole. The worst trailer reactions are where people just film themselves watching the trailer and then at the end essentially just say either “looks good” or “looks bad”. I actually put some thought and consideration into my analysis within this video.

        You missunderstood the role of Winston in the Ghost Busters though. Hes hired help, and outsider thats there for a pay cheque. Which is why hes not in the court scene, hes a paid employee, not a founder member/ owner of the business.The same reason Janine isnt there. It would be like Amazon going to court and expecting all its warehouse workers to go to court.

          I don’t buy that as an explanation. I mean, yeah, it technically makes sense but the fact remains that they wrote a sequel script where once again Ernie Hudson was given the short shrift and treated as a token character. They ought to have written a script where he was treated as an equal and given things to do and had funny lines to deliver. Ernie Hudson himself has spoken out about his frustration at how his role was handled over the years.
