Subject: Ghostbusters 2

Written By: oldmusicfan on 03/07/20 at 7:06 pm

Ghostbusters 2 was the ultimate film for XYers.

You have Slimer like how he is in The Real Ghostbusters:

There’s slime:

The NES Advantage appears in one scene:

A little mention of He-Man:

Who can forget Bobby Brown, the musical artists that both Xers and XYers adore:

To top it all off, there’s the New Jack Swing with a rap in the end credits by Bobby Brown:

While it’s true that Ghostbusters did not need a sequel, Ghostbusters 2 was still pretty radical. Only film that could beat it out as a great XYer movie would be The Wizard. I love Ghostbusters 2! Such an underrated gem.

Were you eager to see Ghostbusters 2 or did Batman come first to you?

What drew you to Ghostbusters 2? Bill Murray’s comedic genius? The Saturday and weekday cartoon The Real Ghostbusters? New Jack Swing King Bobby Brown?

My siblings and I use to watch the cartoon. So when the movie was released it was exciting!

Were you afraid of the ghosts that were going to be in the movie beforehand or did you suspect the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man could make a second appearance?

Well, I was only 8 or 9 years old but I wasn't afraid.

It was those two and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade that were the Big 3 of the Summer of '89.

Blasphemy! Lol

After Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, I’m surprised anyone went to the theater to see the third film.

For a younger generation, they enjoyed "Ghostbusters 2".

I remember loving Ghostbusters 2 and always had it in my mind that it was better than the first film. Unfortunately I've not re-watched GB2 in a long time so I can't say why.

What makes it better than the first film to you?
