Reading Between the Reels: Film analysis with snark and heart

Ghostbusters is the quintessential horror-comedy that jump-started a multimedia franchise and inspired several imitators over the nearly four decades since its release. With Ghostbusters: Afterlife premiering in the next few weeks, we break down the original classic.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife successfully resurrected the beloved franchise with a refreshing blend of nostalgia and new beginnings. Directed by Jason Reitman (son of Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman), the film cleverly balances homage to the original while carving its own path with a new generation of characters.
