(unlocked from Patreon; episode 4 of 4)
Reid (@seriations) and Wendy Painting (@BirdWendy2) finish our conversation about Ghostbusters. In this episode, I go through Dan Aykroyd's career, his family history, the history of mediums, sus gurus, and the producer Ivan Reitman.
Then I get into the Simon Necronomicon and the Magickal Childe bookstore and the crossover with themes in Ghostbusters. We attempt to explain the wave of films about psychics in the 1980s as part of the same rightward cultural push and attempt to vindicate the Ghostbusters EPA agent.
Then, to finish, Wendy does a tarot reading for me and Reid. Full disclosure: the first reading was way too accurate and personal to leave in, though maybe I will explain it one day.
