Since we are in our third week of No April, Only Zuul, it’s only fitting that we discuss and dissect all of the animated content that the Ghostbusters Universe has provided us.
Adam and Doug go into the magic that is The Real Ghostbusters–the OG animated series–before segueing into Slimer and The Real Ghostbusters and all of the trivia in between. We talk about the other DIC Entertainment properties from Inspector Gadget, Hello Kitty, Sonic, Super Mario, and like 15 others. Oh, and because it is obligatory any time anyone mentions this franchise, we talk about how integral J. Michael Straczynski was to the show.
Ade gushes on the awesomeness that is Extreme Ghostbusters. Made by Adelaide Productions, the same studio that brought you Jumanji, Men in Black, and Godzilla. Did you know that there was a bizarre light gun game released for this show on PS1 after the PS2 had been out for four years??? AND SEVEN YEARS AFTER THIS SHOW WAS CANCELED!!!
Finally, Jake ends the party with his extensive knowledge on all things comic book related, ranging from Marvel UK, to Now Comics, 88mph, and IDW. He even delves into promotional giveaway comics packed in with British toffee candy things, called Trio. His discussion includes noteworthy creators like Dan Abnet and Andy Lanning, and spans to pretty covers and variations between multiple titles. What issue has a Fantastic Four reference? We talk the art style on every crossover, such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, X-Files, and Mars Attacks, and why Dan Schoening’s art is second to none! Which crossover does writer, Erik Burnham, want to do next with the comics? Just press play already and find out.
It’s been a crazy few weeks, but with Ghostbusters, there really isn’t enough time on this planet to dive into every little thing. This truly has been a fun ride. Let us know your thoughts and don’t forget to head on over to our Redbubble for some sweet merch.
