Episode 58: Extraplasm Takes a Field Trip to Answer the Call With Paul Feig & Katie Dippold

Extraplasm took a field trip to attend a benefit screening of Ghostbusters Answer the Call along with a Q&A and cocktail hour hosted by none other than director Paul Feig and his co-writer Katie Dippold! This exciting event was a benefit for the Good Deed Corps - a 501c3 non profit whose important work serves to foster ballot access, voter registration and democratic engagement with underrepresented communities. Get caught up on the week's headlines and then join Jim and Leah (theater and comedy teacher and the First Lady of Extraplasm) as they recap the event!  And - if you're willing to forgive the less than ideal audio quality of a live, public recording -- you'll find the Q&A included at the back end of the episode!
