Things to Look Forward to the Remainder of 2025

Interestingly, the last blog entry that I’ve thrown up here onto the website was a similar post around the same time of year in 2023: trying to combat the negatively-charged pink slime oozing up from the streets with a little good ol’ positivity. There’s a lot of great pop culture stuff to look forward to the rest of this year - movies, series returns, books, and more. In fact, this summer looks to be one to rival some of the greatest.

Putting it all in digital ink to help me keep some mile markers on the road up ahead:

Things to Look Forward to the Remainder of 2023

With Star Trek: Picard and The Mandalorian finished for their seasons, and Ted Lasso coming to a close in a few weeks, I thought I’d jot down some of the remaining nerdy things coming around the bend in 2023 that I’m excited for. You know, a little carrot on a stick for me to keep on keeping on. Ha!

Now Streaming/VOD "Cleanin' Up the Town: Remembering Ghostbusters"

At long last, the definitive documentary on the making of the original Ghostbusters film, “Cleanin’ Up the Town: Remembering Ghostbusters” is slowly starting to roll out to audiences around the globe. Kickstarter backers have started receiving their digital codes and folks in the UK and Canada can now purchase or stream via their VOD platform of choice.

I was honored to be even a small part of the documentary, helping the Buenos chase down some archival from the famed USC and Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences libraries, chiming in on cuts from time to time, and getting to say hello once or twice when they were in the States. This has been a long labor of love filled with enough peaks and valleys for them that could merit its own documentary, so it’s fantastic to see the final product out there being viewed by audiences.

Ghostbusters 35th Anniversary Commentary Coming June 11th

Entertainment Weekly exclusively revealed this morning that a new Ghostbusters 35th Anniversary edition steelbook is on the way this June… and there’s a familiar name amid the special features that will be on the disc! Indeed, I was fortunate enough to be asked along with my Ghostbusters Interdimensional Crossrip co-host Chris Stewart to join Eric Reich, Sean Bishop, and Ashley Victoria Robinson on a fan commentary track to play under the first movie!

We really did our best to focus on fun trivia facts both among the production and the lore of the series, point out tiny details in the corners of frames that we’ve always admired, and took advantage of having Ghost Corps’ Eric Reich with us to confirm or debunk some long-standing Ghostbusters urban legends behind the production. It’s a fun track and we hope that you all will enjoy it!

Here’s the rest of the details on the release, a visit to EW will give you a glimpse at a never before seen distributor pitch reel featuring Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd in costume talking to theater owners!
