It's Saturday morning in the late 80's, you've just poured yourself a bowl of cereal, and now it's time to sit down an enjoy your favorite cartoon. For at least two of us here at Digital Dissection that cartoon followed four dudes in New York City that weren't afraid to throw down with any problem poltergeist.

On today's Side Stitches, Joe and Mark talk about The Real Ghostbusters! They touch on the episodes that creeped them out so much they watched them on repeat, as well as how this little cartoon expanded on the rich story that the 1984 movie began.
