Ghostbusters Answer The Call Hugo Award Finalist

Posted on by Spengs

ahugoawardlogo.jpg

Tor.com (as opposed to giant slors dot org) wrote and shared the Hugo Awards finalists for various science fiction media and respective categories. Ghostbusters: Answer The Call is in the category of “Best Dramatic Presentation – Long Form” Which is personally interesting as I never think of Ghostbusters being ‘typically’ dramatic.

Ghostbusters, screenplay by Katie Dippold & Paul Feig, directed by Paul Feig (Columbia Pictures/LStar Capital/Village Roadshow Pictures/Pascal Pictures/Feigco Entertainment/Ghostcorps/The Montecito Picture Company)

Ghostbusters: ATC is up against genre movies such as Arrival, Deadpool, and (Star Wars) Rogue One. Interestingly all those movies are also competing with Netflix series, Stranger Things and Hidden Figures, a movie based off a book, which was written because of real people who could have worked here if GBI had been established in 1965.

Netflix Streaming The Real Ghostbusters

Posted on by Spengs

Thank you very much Dr. Ray Stantz and Netflix!

By: Ray Stantz

Netflix (US) has added 5 seasons of The Real Ghostbusters (Ecto-Containment) to stream for at least US, CA, UK, and AUS subscribers.

Although The Real Ghostbusters ran for 7 seasons on Saturday mornings and 5 days a week from September 1986-October 1991. We think Netflix (US) added too many episodes to season 1 and it threw the whole section into animated chaos! :p

Hopefully Netflix will correct this in April.

Posted on by Spengs

Beetlejuice has been one of those higher class ghosts that have been a thorn in our Belt Gizmos since the early 1990s. For the longest time that ghost who talks a lot had been oddly silent, going off the protection grid. Recently Beetle…resurfaced in Great Britain.

Where Bee.. had an unfortunate run in with the Conductors of the Metaphysical Examination North East.

However, fortunately for Ghostbusters International franchises across the global hemispheres the Conductors of The Meta, er Ghostbusters filmed their latest case file.

Ectomobile Workshop Manual To Be Published

Posted on by Spengs

gbsectomobileworkmanual

Ghostbusters International has had an Ectomobile workshop manual for the last few decades. It has been brought to our attention since the jingle of the year 2000 we should make our expertise available to franchises and car enthusiasts. Like a great peace talk debate, (over delicious sponsored food and beverages) how we were going to accomplish this was up on a lift for years. At least since our 30th anniversary the solution was already in our libraries.

Our also successful associates at Inside Editions knew just what to do. To make a technical manual about an iconic car more enjoyable we brought Troy Benjamin and Marc Sumerak along for the ride.

Ghostbusters: Answer The Call Review

Posted on by Spengs

Instead of updating GBI, Richard spent 5 days reviewing Ghostbusters: Answer The Call!

Ecto-Containment

This past weekend I began reviewing the theatrical version of  Ghostbusters: Answer The Call. I realized without much planning for this one review, I couldn’t review a nearly 2 hour movie in a day, not even two. I’ve been watching Ghostbusters: Answer The Call on and off when I could for about the last five days. That seems a little much.

In the last two days as I had been reviewing Ghostbusters: ATC I was putting it on Ecto-Containment along with accompanying screen caps. Which thankfully for a multi-hour movie I didn’t have to create myself, as I normally would with animated episodes.

I reviewed Ghostbusters: Answer The Call in 4 pages. My original notes without pictures was at least page 17 halfway through. This review is similar to how I review The Real Ghostbusters episodes. I added or changed categories to fit Ghostbusters: Answer The Call.

While Rich was still reviewing Ghostbusters: Answer The Call, (Ecto-Containment) kids at the Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards helped Ghostbusters: ATC win some awards!

Ghostbusters: Answer The Call was chosen favorite movie of the year! While that would be cool enough, kids voted Melissa McCarthy (Dr. Abby Yates) as their favorite movie actress. Chris Hemsworth (Kevin) was voted as their favorite movie actor.

That’s right Ghostbusters is better than both Captain America: Civil War and Star Wars: Rogue One! 😀
