I was a theatre Usher in High School from 1980-84. Amazing movies came out then. Back then if you want to know about other movies coming out you had to go the theatre to see coming attraction posters. Every week as an Usher you would open and hang new posters of Coming movies. I will never forget unfolding and seeing the very first poster for Ghostbusters. Which had no writing on it just the Ghostbusters symbol. The symbol is such a big part of pop-culture now but to see it for the first time. I just thought this is going to be good! You should watch every movie written by Harold Ramis.
I was a little kid at that time, but holy shit what a pocket of time to be a theater usher! Arguably when our cultural output was beginning to peak.
R.I.P. Harold. Made, wrote some great movies
The TV commercial I initially saw back in the day was the logo slowly materializing as the phrase "Coming this summer to save the world" was said over it.
84 had so many good movies!
It was awesome! @@adriancastillo1957
Rick Moranis actually wrote most of his stuff and yes it's great that the Key Master keeps getting locked out, lol.
Fun fact: John Candy was originally supposed to play that role
I’m always glad to see someone new experiencing Ghostbusters for the first time. It belongs on the Mount Rushmore of 80s movies. Great reaction!
That FDNY Firehouse is for Ladder 8. It is still in service and the Ghostbuster sign hangs in the apparatus bay. It is also painted on the sidewalk out front.
I love this movie (of course), so seeing Madison react to it is super fun, but what sets her apart is her understanding of the mechanics of storytelling. She also has insightful comments about the musical scores, so I look forward the most to movies with robust plots and charcter arcs, that involve legendary composers.
💖🙏🏻
I saw this at the theater with a big group of friends. We were all around 12-13 years old. We were broke so we chipped in to buy one huge tub of popcorn and I was crowned The Popcorn Keeper; sitting in the middle of our row and holding it for everybody for quick and easy access. In the library when they yell GET HER and that abomination roared it scared me so badly that every muscle fiber in my spindly body fired at the same time, sending extra-buttered popcorn flying 10 feet in the air, coating rows of innocent moviegoers. My friends teased me about that for years..
1984 :) @@Jack-Shat
@@white.lodge.dale.cooper So funny! Of course in that early scene you have no idea where they're going with it. Last time I embarrassed myself in the theater was in Star Wars VII, when Laura Dern's ship jumps to light speed right through an First Order Destroyer. Unlike every other second of every other Star Wars film, they did the "silence in space" thing for the shot, and the only sound in the theater was me saying, "WOW!"
Well, that alone would have been worth the price of a ticket to see... 🤭
Rick Moranis is so amazing in this role. What an awesome actor & person in general.
Fun fact: the role was originally supposed to go to John Candy, but they didn’t agree with his ideas so the role went to Rick Moranis instead
@@nsasupporter7557 I believe John Candy recommended Rick Moranis to them for the role.
Me a little kid with mom. Going to a theater on a hot summer evening in 1984 and loved the movie. A memory I never forgot.
The EPA guy played by William Atherton was so hated that the actor would be attacked in public.
The mark of a great actor!
"The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" great ghost/romance classic!
Not a scary film, very much a romance story. There was tv show made from the idea, a sitcom.
After seeing this as a kid I really wanted to be a Ghostbuster 👻 Glad you liked it! I hope you'll watch part II.
And Ghostbusters afterlife
I still do.
same, and here I am in my early 40's and I own a screen accurate flightsuit, proton pack , pke meter and ghost trap :D
This movie is awesome. I saw it in the theater when it came out with friends and family. What a great experience. The special effects in this movie was groundbreaking for a comedy.
Ghostbusters had a very interesting ad campaign. For months before we heard anything about the movie they would just place ads in newspapers (there used to be a section of most papers with just ads for movies!) and all it had was the Ghostbusters logo of the ghost with red circle and line through it. That's it. Maybe it said something like "Coming in the fall" or something like that. It really piqued a lot of curiosity.
"They're Coming to Save the World This Summer."
Part of the reason, they didn't have legal rights to the name "Ghostbusters", it was trademarked by NBC and that dispute was not resolved until months before the premiere.
@@jrgilbythanks, I didn't know that!
Why would NBC have a trademark on Ghostbusters when the live-action Saturday morning 1975 kidvid series "The Ghost Busters" was created and owned by Filmation and aired on CBS?
Sorry, it was Universal who owned the rights to the "Ghost Busters" name, (NBC and Universal are the same company today). Columbia had to get the rights from Universal first before it could title the movie. (They even had alternate takes just in case the deal didn't go through)
Again, sorry for the confusion.
One subtle touch in the first ghost capture scene where Venkman is telling the hotel manager about the price for the capture, watch Egon, he’s holding up fingers for the prices.
Also, the bag of Stay-Puft marshmallows on Dana's kitchen counter when the eggs start popping.
I wore a Ghostbusters shirt to the first day of school after this came out. One bully kept referring to me as GB for the rest of the year
Awesome reaction Madison!!
GHOSTBUSTERS 2 is totally worth the watch!! if not in October, please react to it before the end of the year so that you still have the first one fresh in your mind! ;)
Ghostbusters Afterlife is also very good as well....and picks up several years after 2 and pays massive respect to Harold Ramis (Egon) who sadly passed away in 2014....and since there is going to be a Ghostbusters Afterlife 2 sometime either in 2024 or 2025, y'all might want to get caught up 😁👻
@@MLJ7956it's out in 2024
@@MLJ7956 Afterlife is amazing.
“He always locks himself out.”
Best joke in the movie.
FUN FACT: One of the ingredients used to make "ectoplasm" in this movie is a thickening/bonding agent called Methocel. It's often used in food, such as a McDonald's shake. :)
McGreedy's is not food.
It's also the goo in those handheld fruit pies that you get at the grocery store.
@@gokaury Mmm, precious goo.
Fun Easter egg, when Dana is unpacking her groceries, one of the bags is Stay Puft Marshmallows.
"Well, you can believe Mr. Pecker.." "My name is PECK!" 😂😂😂 The back & forth between Peter & Peck (the name irony, btw🤣🤦🏻♂️) is so great.. "Is this true?" "Yes it's true.. This man has no d**k." ❤
This was the biggest movie of 1984, and I remember seeing it about six times in the theater as a 12-year-old kid.
This was the second film that Bill Murray (Peter Venkman) and Harold Ramis (Egon Spengler) acted together, the first being Stripes, also directed by Ivan Reitman. Murray and Ramis also worked together with Ramis directing Caddyshack and Groundhog Day (which caused a huge rift between them). Besides Ghostbusters II, they both appear in Ghostbusters: Afterlife (with Ramis being CGI and mute as he passed away in 2014). I suggest doing both Ghostbusters II and Ghostbusters: Afterlife (as Afterlife is almost more of a direct sequel than GB II was, even though the OG Ghostbusters only appear at the end).
The story was written mainly by Dan Ackroyd (Ray Stanz) as he has had a lifelong love of the paranormal. Outside of his comedy career, Ackroyd has produced and/or appeared in a few shows about the paranormal on TV, even producing one of them. The screenplay was co-written by Ramis and Ackroyd.
As insightful as your comment is, let's not give away any surprises in regard to the sequels. Have a blessed weekend.
I cut out a full page ad from TV Guide and put it on my wall in college. It was the Ghostbusters looking around and all it said was ‘coming to save the world this summer.’
One of the very best movies ever made and filled with quotes. When they celebrated the 30th year anniversary by showing it again in theaters, I had to see it a few times. So surreal seeing it again on the big screen like I did when I was a kid. Cheers.
Thank you very much, Ghost Busters was one of the best movies in my childhood, Please continue with "Ghost Busters II" (1989), avoid like a plague "Ghostbusters: Answer the Call" (2016), and go right to "Ghostbusters Afterlife" (2021).👍
Just a great fun movie with some iconic scenes and lines... My favorite being in the library from Ray ... "Listen? Do you smell that?" 😂
Ghostbusters was a pivot point for movies in the 1980's. The originally planned cast was John Belushi and Eddie Murphy in the Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson roles. Belushi died from a cocaine overdose. This also opened the door for Chevy Chase as Belushi was suppose to be in Spies Like Us. Sylvester Stallone was the first choice for Beverly Hills Cop. He turned it down and it was offered to Eddie Murphy. Ghostbusters would have been a dramatically different movie if Belushi or Murphy was available. In another universe there is a version where they are both in it.
I'm not sure Belushi had the acting chops to pull it off.
I've never seen him play a role that would lead me to believe he could...
Apparently Stallone got Cobra of of BHC.
A fantastic reaction, to a fun film. Part 2 and AFTER LIFE , are also fantastic.
You’re awesome 😎
Keep it up 👍
A friend of mine is in the crowd at Washington Square Park. He was attending NYU at the time.
"Listen. You smell something?" 😂
Ernie Hudson said Bill Murray was awaome. You set him up, and he takes over. There's a guy from Sandusky Ohio who owned one of the ghost busters cars. He collects that year. And he came driving through our town with the lights going. That was pretty cool.
11:39 You gotta love the oh-so-subtle product placement
The actor who played Louis was Rick Moranis… he’s best known for the movie “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids”
The lines/dialogue were fantastic and funny for the 80's. Btw I like music,movies from the 80's too. Thanks for the reaction video.
Also see Rick Moranis in Mel Brooks' Spaceballs. Before movies, both he and Harold Ramis were members of the Canadian TV series SCTV (- along with John Candy, Martin Short, Catherine O'Hara, and others), which was an offshoot of the Toronto branch of the Second City comedy franchise (where Dan Aykroyd also began before he went to SNL). See Moranis there in the "Great White North" skits, and as Woody Allen, etc.. Moranis quit acting in order to bring up his kids when his wife died of cancer.
..... "the light turns green - and the trap is clean." I've been using that line for nearly forty years now. These were some of the hottest pop stars of the day. #2 is worth the watch, also!
It's absolutely hysterical to me the that the key master is constantly locking himself out of his apartment, I never noticed that irony as a kid. Just like Jeff Goldblum, I don't think Bill Murray is actually an actor, they're just themselves on camera. "When someone asks if you're a GOD, you say YES!" 😂 🚫👻
P.S The second is ABSOLUTELY worth seeing, the rest are up to you.
He was not the keymaster then.
Ghost Busters debuted on the ABC TV network around September 1987. There is a 1975 Filmmation TV show with the same title.
This is a great fun movie. Perfect blend of being funny and creepy. Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Sigourney Weaver & Rick Moranis are all tops in this movie.
Great reaction, Madison.
Fun fact, the green food eating ghost was a tribute to Dan Ackroyd’s late friend John Belushi.
In the earlier scene when the eggs were cooking on the counter, she had a bag of marshmallows.
Great reaction. This is such a fun film. It grossed $295 million worldwide in original release ($789 million in today's money). Thanks for doing it!
Loved experiencing this again with you; it's one of my all-time favourites. Great choice!
Fun fact: I've watched this movie with commentary (by Ivan Reitman and [the late] Harold Ramis) on, when Dana shows up & Peter jumps over the gate, he very nearly didn't make it. If you watch, you can see his toe graze the top of it. That, and one second: the gate is perfectly still; the next, it's barely swinging.
Their office manager is Annie Potts who now plays Young Sheldon’s MeeMaw.
Now you can watch Cassie's reaction in which she is legit terrified.
Back off man I’m a scientist” haha classic
So many great moments, so many great lines. My favorite delivery is still: "What about the Twinkie?" So fun watching your reaction.
You have just witnessed my all time favorite movie. Now you should react to Ghostbusters II and Ghostbusters Afterlife.
ah yes, I LOVE the 'Chaos in NYC' sequence at 23:11.
as you said,
this is chaos
The hidden pun with Luis is that he becomes the Keymaster, yet always forgets his keys. Gozer really should have picked someone else...
When Pete visits Dana to update her on her case, roughly halfway through his lines the sound changes and sounds dubbed over, why? The scene is in front of the water fountain in front of Radio City Music Hall.
John Belushi was supposed to star in this movie, but he passed away before filming started. Dan Aykroyd has said in interviews the the green 'Onionhead' ghost (AKA 'Slimer') was supposed to be the ghost of Belushi.
John Candy was originally supposed to be Louis also
See what happens when you don't clean your refrigerator!
Louis is called the Keymaster and he constantly gets locked out of his apartment
The thing you have to realize about 80s movies and possibly some early 90s movies (basically anything before the Internet) they often became pop culture lexicons. So many pop culture references that most people take for granted today came from 80s movies. Why? Well, when Star Wars in 1977 set the standard to what Blockbuster movies were to become, there were certain lines, characters, scenes, and themes that instantly became classics. For Ghostbusters here it was Gozer, Gatekeeper, Keymaster, the Stay Puft Marshmellow Man, "don't cross the streams" and "dogs and cats living together....mass hysteria"
And because not that many films came out in a year, because they'd stick around in the theater for months sometimes, each year there was known for one major movie. In 1977 it was Star Wars (A New Hope), for 1979 it was probably Alien. For 1980, Empire Strikes Back. For 1983, Return of the Jedi. For 1984, Ghostbusters and Terminator.. For 1985, Back to the Future. For 1986, Top Gun, Plattoon, Crocodile Dundee and Aliens. For 1987, Robocop and Predator. For 1988, Back to the Future II and Crocodile Dundee II. By the late 80s, you started seeing a few more big hits and they didn't quite make it into the pop culture zeitgiest as earlier films did. I don't know, I think because going to the theater was such a big deal prior to the Internet and DVD in 1997, certain movies just had a bigger impact than they do today. Because I'll tell ya what, since I upgraded to DVD from VHS in 2001, I've only been to the theater like 4 times since i stopped going regularly in 2002, and two of those were Star Wars movies (The Last Jedi and Rogue One)
Ghostbusters 2 and Ghostbusters Afterlife are worth watching. Also, Mel Brooks had made three horror/comedies. Young Frankenstein, High Anxiety, and Dracula Dead and Loving It.
"Oh, this is so exciting, you're about to learn who you're gonna call... it's Ghostbusters.", Columbus in Zombieland
You should see the next one. Also there is a more recent one that is very nostalgic for those of us who saw the originals. The cast is mostly the same and since Harold Ramis had already passed away they do some fun stuff with his character. I won't spoil it here.
Madison: "nothing good happens in dark basements"
Me: " I have a few exes that would disagree with that statement "
I was 7 when this came out. I didn't see it in the theater but I saw it on video at a friend's birthday party that same year.
Madison, it's hard to describe how huge this movie was back in the day. Between the star power of Murray, Ackroyd, Ramis, Weaver and Moranis. Great reviews (Ebert - 3-1/2 out of 4 stars) and immediate word of mouth buzz. A #1 hit song all over the radio. The music video in heavy rotation on MTv. Toys, T shirts, ..that perfect logo!!... and since the film came out in June, guess how many people were Ghostbusters for Halloween that year??!!
Yep. The GB line of toys in the purple boxes were
extremely popular. Stores could not re-stock them fast enough, especially during the holiday season. Action figures were huge in the 80's and toy stores were thriving in those days.
Ghostbusters 2 is set around Christmas and New Years, so you could get that in this year too!
interestingly enough the FX team that worked on poltergeist also did the work on Ghostbusters which is why the ghost have a similar style
I loved your reaction to this, Madison. This is a great fun film, spooky and silly, 'Ghostbusters II' is another great film too, I suggest that you react to that one as well.
I hope that you're healing well after your recent riding accident? Please take care and look after yourself, Madison.
Thank you, Adam! It's a long road to full recovery, but I'm happy to finally be free of the walking boot.
@@MadisonKThames I do understand, Madison, I spent months in crutches some years back when I had two leg operations (one on each leg), I know that you'll get there in the end, remember to try to take it day by day and not do too much due to frustration. Take care and much love.
Towards the end Winston divulges he's only being paid $11.5K, which is slightly more than $5.50/hr. The Federal minimum wage in '84 was $3.35/hr., and for NYC $5.50 was pretty lousy.
Great job on the Holiday Backdrop …
☝️ a minor tweak … a light behind your seat (nothing major) should help the composition.
Good one. Madison! Such a fun movie. 😄 The "Afterlife" sequel is a lot of fun too. Very well done. Thanks for sharing this one. Happy Madtober!
I really liked Afterlife.
That's the modern one with kids hunting.
Isn’t it amazing that the keymaster always gets locked out.
Great reaction, Madison - glad you finally got to see this classic. I'm not sure who said it, either Bill Murray or Dan Aykroyd, and IIRC it was responding to a question of why they made Ghostbusters a comedy and they said if they didn't, the movie would have been terrifying. So that lines up pretty well with your assessment. I notice you haven't made a reaction to the 1990 movie Tremors with Kevin Bacon. If you haven't seen it already, it would be a great option for Madtober.
I hope you are going to watch part 2 as well because they belong together like Beavis and Butthead. I grew up with those 2 movies, they are part of my childhood. Love them with all my heart. Back in the day movies had soul and purpose. Rip Ivan Reitman and Harold Ramis. ❤
Beavis and Butt-head? Odd analogy 🤔 but OK 😅. Movies definitely had more soul and purpose back in the day. That I will agree 👍
Ghostbusters was a Cultural Phenomenon when it was Released, a Apex time of Movies at Theaters, a really Good time at the Movies, it's Very Rare Today, Awesome Ride
13:59 Slimer's response to your question would be, "like this"😅
20:12=The gag is that the rich people saw it, but can't be bothered.
When I saw this in the theater, I was so pumped, I broke into a sweat ;-)
Great reaction Madison....I hope that you'll check out Ghostbusters 2 and Ghostbusters: Afterlife as well.
Fun movie trivia facts - Pop singer Debbie Gibson has an uncredited bit part as the birthday girl (in the restaurant scene before the devil dog takes over Lewis).
Comedian John Candy was originally offered the role of Lewis by friend & co-writer Dan Aykroyd but the director and producers turned him down after Candy kept wanting to add many changes to the shooting script and make changes to the Lewis character (which would have cost more money for the film and delayed production). So fellow comedian Rick Moranis came in & ended up taking the part of Lewis instead....But to make it up to his friend, Dan Aykroyd allowed John Candy to appear in the music video for Ghostbusters (along with many other celebrity cameos - like Chevy Chase, Irene Cara, Melissa Gilbert, Ollie E. Brown, Jeffrey Tambor, George Wendt, Al Franken, Danny DeVito, Carly Simon, Peter Falk, Teri Garr and of course Ray Parker Jr. with the Ghostbusters themselves - Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis & Ernie Hudson). It's worth checking out too.
In 2009, Activision made 'Ghostbusters: The Video Game' based on the storylines from the first two Ghostbusters films (as well as is considered by many fans to be the unofficial Ghostbusters 3) and would be the last time all 4 of the original Ghostbusters would all be together again (before Harold Ramis - Egon, passed away in 2014) for all 4 actors lent their voices to their respective characters in the game (also as an added bonus, there are many references from this video game made within the Ghostbusters: Afterlife movie later on)....the video game was visual remastered & enhanced in 2019 for all modern consoles, PC & MAC. That is a fun game worth playing, in my opinion, if you like all things Ghostbusters 😁👻🎮
It may have dawned on you shortly after filming this reaction but if it didn't it will when I tell you that Bill Murray's character (Peter Venkman) was patterned after Bugs Bunny.
I was six when this came out, and it took elementary school by storm. I remember everyone having their clothes and toys and playing Ghostbusters during recess. Good times.
Love Ghostbusters! My favorite line is “We came we saw we kicked it’s ass!” 😂 that line always cracks me up
The phycological experiment with the cards at the beginning is based on a real phycological experiment, but the experiment was to see how far a tester would go. The "tester" was the actual subject, and they had to raise the shock power everytime the "subject" guessed wrong. The "subject" was not hooked up to anything and was just acting.
Psychological...and yes Murray did describe the test about "negative reinforcement" and the effect it might have, but he was also using it to ingratiate himself with girl.
The real experiment you described was more about deferment to authority.
That is how far would someone go if an authority figure says it's ok.
Specifically a "test subject", (the actor), was asked to do something and if they refused the "tester"(the subject of the experiment), could give them an electric shock to make them comply.
The tester could increase the severity of the shock, and the machine to deliver the shock was marked indicating that above certain level it could injure of kill the subject.
Many people ignored those warnings and turned it up to 11.
That test was meant to get an insight into how everyday people might participate in things like the "Work" camps that were seen in Germany in WW2.
I was 70%-80% until "this David Bowie chick is going down"... love your other references too. A+
Petty fantastic, thank you... A lot of fans love part 2 and some like it even more than the first!!!
The most recent Ghostbusters movie is a continuation of the story, the previous one with the women was completely separate and not very well received. Definitely worth watching part 2 sometime and the newest one.
Female cast - because it was just a REMAKE of the first one. WE'VE SEEN THAT STORY. They should've done an original story, but the big studios hate writers.
@@treetopjones737 And not a great remake imo
A _Ghostbusters_ reaction for Madtober? Yes, have some!
Ripley in Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Alien Resurrection....
High Plains Drifter with Clint Eastwood has a spooky element in it. Or for a poorly made western film there's always Billy the Kid vs Dracula
or the White Buffalo
love the soundtrack, check out Magic by Mick Smiley, it is the song playing when the ghosts escape the containment field, but a good song on its own.
Love this. Had my own proton pack 30 years ago at my father's house in GA. (Go Braves)
Always fun... I'm looking forward to Madtober. When you get back to westerns please watch the epic "The Big Country."
0:17 Madtober is what’s called a portmanteau
10:00 Without The Excorcist there wouldn't have been Poltergeist and without it there wouldn't have been Ghostbusters.
When I was a kid I watched this movie everyday multiple times a day
Sequel is pretty good too, whole cast returned for it!)
Walk the Moon's cover of Ghostbusters is really good.
Did you know Saint Jerome is the patron Saint of Librarians
Whenever I see a library scene in an older movie..with the card catalog drawers I think of Kramer from Seinfeld. "Remember the Dewey Decimal System? What a scam that was! Man, that Dewey guy really cleaned up on that one!' 😀
Hello Madison K. Thames, " If there's something strange in your neighborhood. Who are you going to call? " " Hey! "
Rick Moranis is also great in Little Shop of Horrors and Parenthood (both also starring Steve Martin), and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.
Don't miss Sigourney Weaver in Gorillas in the Mist and Avatar.
Bill Murray is fantastic in What About Bob? and Zombieland, as well as Groundhog Day (in which Harold Ramis appears).
What About Bob is a great comedy.
@@treetopjones737yes! What About Bob is a very under appreciated movie. It should’ve been bigger than it was
The movie that Rick Moranis is best known for is Honey I Shrunk Kids
The “key master”, the “gate keeper”
It’s up to you to guess how they opened the portal
Awesome. Madison learned who ya gonna call.
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. And then Robin Hood: Men in Tights. 🙏
This has always been one of my favorite movies. I watched my VHS copy endlessly. I still own to this day the motion picture soundtrack on vinyl. As you have pointed out in your reaction, these are bangers indeed 👌
