#164 - Movie Review - Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

Discerning Geeks Portal

We are back with a review of a 2024 movie, "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire." Dave, Preston, and Todd, all saw this in the theater together recently, and all liked it.

- Did the Geeks think this movie was fun? Was the comedy good?

- How well did the movie handle its older characters from the original movies?

- Were there too many characters?

- Were the character interactions & relationships a plus or a minus?

- What was the target audience for this movie? Was it clear? Did the movie successfully reach who it meant to?

- Were the plot & pacing good in this movie? Were there any flaws in those areas?

- Which Geek had a few nitpicks (directed at Sony) with the audio & visuals?

- What were the opinions of the teenage Phoebe Spengler character and her interactions with a young humanoid ghost? Was this movie's version of Phoebe true to the character introduced in the previous movie?

- Why did more people not see this movie? Did it not connect well enough with audiences? Are chances hurt for another Ghostbusters movie?

- What bizarre way does one of the Geeks rank the four Ghostbusters movies?

- From the theater concessions, which of the two "Deadpool & Wolverine" themed sodas tasted good or bad to one of our Geeks?

- And, which Geek groaned this time at the thing we randomly rolled to review coming soon?

At the very beginning, Todd mentions a desire to check out the upcoming movie, "The Fall Guy." Since the recording of this episode, "The Fall Guy" has premiered to good reviews but disappointing box office. Dave, Todd, and Preston, went to see it in its second week, and two of them recorded a review that will be coming soon. In the meantime, here's a spoiler for the review... Two of the Geeks really liked it, and one Geek was less impressed but didn't hate it.
