Sunday Jul 25, 2021
Allison and Eric join Brendan O'Neill to break down an 80s classic that somehow remains underrated. Ghostbusters was one of the first uber-quotable summer blockbusters that seemed to take over pop culture for the better part of a year...and did so based on the red hot trio of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis. Back off, man. I'm a scientist.

Allison and Eric join Brendan O'Neill to discuss Spies Like Us. This Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase comedy from 1985 isn't as well-regarded as classics like Stripes, but it's packed with just as many (maybe more) laughs and holds up surprisingly well 35 years later.
