Deep Thoughts about Ghostbusters

Send us a text

We tried to think of the most harmless thing. Something we loved from our childhood. Something that could never ever possibly destroy us. Ghostbusters!

Tracie brings a beloved “comfort food” movie to the analyzing table, and the sisters dig in. From the banality of the anti-heroism of Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) to the regressive treatment of the beautiful, and, we’re told talented, Dana Barret (Sigourney Weaver) to the conservative capitalism of the anti-EPA Reagan years to the racism and supremacy that see Winston Zedemore (Ernie Hudson) take a backseat (if there’s a seat for him at all!), there’s a lot lurking under the nostalgia of quotable lines and goofy slapstick. 

Join us! We have the tools and we have the talent to help you (and also us) know what’s hiding in the shadows of pop culture.

We're hella smart and completely unashamed of our overthinking prowess. We love movies and tv, science fiction, comedy, and murder mysteries, good storytelling with lots of dramatic irony, and analyzing pop culture for gender dynamics, psychology, sociology, and whatever else we find.
