‘Ghostbusters II’
Wild to think that 30 years have passed since the sequel to Ghostbusters rocked our world. That’s 30 years spent cowering at the sight of Vigo the Carpathian, delighting in Peter MacNicol’s scenery chewing, pondering Dana Barrett’s curious career trajectory, and marveling over that uplifting Statue of Liberty ending. Okay, I fully acknowledge there’s a real Ewok effect going on here, as kids who grew up with Ghostbusters II (me) are way more into it than others (people older than me). But whatever–it gave us Bobby Brown’s “On Our Own” and that is worth celebrating!
