Don Shanahan
Who doesn’t love a good fight about what’s fun and what’s pandering when it comes to the maligned buzzword terms of “nostalgia” and “fan service?” One person’s warm blanket of comfort and connection is another person’s torture chamber of redundancy. That’s right, the fight this week on the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast, sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network, is about Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and neither host is afraid of any ghosts.
For their 34th episode, 25YL film critics and slimed dads Will Johnson and Don Shanahan find themselves as split as they’ve ever been for Ghostbusters: Afterlife. We’ve got one host keyed into the nostalgia and the other who wants to put crooked sharp things in sensitive places. See who’s who on this long-distance blockbuster sequel. Also, enjoy a quick little discussion of the new and massive “Middle-Earth” boxed set out now in stores.
