475: Ghostbusters 2

This week, bustin' makes us feel... fine? cause we're talking about Ghostbusters 2!

This week we're joined by the de-lovely Diana McCallum to discuss the thinking man's blockbuster: Stargate!

We're continuing Sort Of Romantic Movie Month with The Vow! We discuss a plot that doesn't want to commit to itself, the everlasting charm of Rachel McAdams, and wonder if everyone in this movie is... stupid?   Produced by Andrew Ivimey as part of The From Superheroes Network   Visit www.FromSuperheroes.com for more podcasts, articles, video series, web comics, and more.

We're continuing Sorta Romantic Movie Month with Just Like Heaven!

Movie Musical Month continues with an adaptation of a musical that everyone tried to pretend wasn't a musical: MEAN GIRLS (the musical?!) Kat and Jocelyn discuss songs that are additive in the sense that "they are added", messy stars that we know too much about, and wonder whether it's wise to pretend the movie you're marketing isn't a musical (it's not).   Produced by Andrew Ivimey as part of The From Superheroes Network   Visit www.FromSuperheroes.com for more podcasts, articles, video series, web comics, and more.

We're talking about musicals this month, and we're kicking things off with Julie Taymor's Beatles-extravaganza, Across The Universe!
