Jason Fitzsimmons of Ghostbusters News, Tony Taylor of Fantazm Toys, and Justin West from Strange Glow Video join the podcast for a Roundtable Review & Discussion of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. Join us for a fun conversation where we weigh in with our reviews, our reactions to the critics’ review scores and fandom reactions, and what we think the future holds for Ghostbusters. Plus, get caught up on headlines from the last week! Needless to say – this is a spoilery conversation where we openly discus plot points, dialogue, etc. – so if you still haven’t seen Frozen Empire for some reason and you’re trying to stay Spoiler Free, be advised that you’ll likely want to hold off on listening to this week’s episode until after you have seen the movie.

We’re joined by Jason Fitzsimmons of Ghostbusters News for a GIANT-SIZED episode as we recap our adventure to cover the Ghostbusters Frozen Empire premiere in NYC and give you some insights on the new movie as we’ve now seen it, and the review embargo has lifted! And it's giant-sized because this is indeed the longest episode ever of Extraplasm, measuring in at over three and a half hours in length and covering nearly every aspect of our trip to New York. We chat about our experiences being chauffeured through the city by Ecto-1NJ, our visits to Hook and Ladder 8 and the New York Public Library, the Yes Have Some Party, Insomnia Cookies, and of course – covering the premiere carpet and seeing Ghostbusters Frozen Empire. But – fear not if you’re looking to be spoiler free as there's no discussion of the movie's plot or our feelings on it for the first two hours and 15 minutes of the episode, and you'll have fair warning when we move into discussing the movie in the form of containment unit klaxons and sirens. So if you don’t want to hear the spoilers until after you see the movie but you’re happy to hear about the Ghostbusters News and Extraplasm collaboration at the premiere and all the fun that went on in NYC, you’ve got a solid 2 hours and 15 minutes of Extraplasm to help you get warmed up for the movie, and then after you’ve seen it you can check back in for the remaining hour and fifteen minutes of content!
