Episode 23: Charitable Features and Animated Creatures with Steven Shea

Episode 22: Two Timer Tony Taylor Talks Toys ’Til Terrific Topics Turn Terrifying!

Tony Taylor of Fantazm Toys returns to the podcast as guest co-host! We ping-pong our way through headlines over the last two weeks and Jim editorializes a bit about the DLC and new  features and changes in Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed.  Then we discuss Fantazm's successful "Slimeball" figure release, the Matty Collector eBay prototype listing Jim missed out on (and apparently Tony didn't) and our reflections upon Muncher and his place in Ghostbusters narratives, marketing and culture. We also chat about our hopes and dreams for Ghostbusters toys we've yet to see officially released (and a couple that Fantazm Toys may be fulfilling at a mailbox near you, soon!) before accidentally crossing into parallel conversational minefields full of live proton  grenades about a certain unreleased Ghostbusters script, 1947 Packards, and that one time Seth Green met a trash can!
