This isn’t a sequel to the 1984 film. It’s a sequel to spinoff merchandising objects and the coddled memories of kids who were too young to understand that the “Keymaster” and “Gatekeeper” bit was a sex joke. It strip-mines a nostalgia for something that never existed, as calculatedly phony as the ersatz Americana setting, shot in Alberta, Canada. “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” treats with pseudo-religious reverence the events of a movie in which a ghost blew Dan Aykroyd in a firehouse.
Fuckin Brutal. Ban all fandoms why do they keep trying to make sequels and shit to a two hour SNL sketch that has never worked outside of that one movie

Ah, fuck it. Let’s just talk about Ghostbusters: Afterlife!
ECTO ONE! PROTON PACK! EGON SPENGLER! GHOST TRAP! Peter Venkman’s back! Dana Barrett! Slimer!
No, no that was some other ghost.
Oh, I thought they cast the same actor and he gained a buncha weight.
No, no Slimer’s not a real gho… FIREHOUSE!
We go back to Hook and Ladder 8! REMEMBER THE GHOSTBUSTERS FIREHOUSE?! “Who you gonna call?”
Maybe they’ll stop trying to make these pointless Ghostbusters sequels now. Remember when they tried to turn it into a Cinematic Universe the last time around :hahaha:
