Nothing really new, actually.

They mention the guys and the girls, Ivan gets asked a few details from the old movie, but he does not remember most of them. Dan thinks humor evolves, but Ivan thinks humor is timeless. Both get to push their latest thing, e.a. crystal skull is mentioned and Ivans newest movie, which is a biopic.
Still fun to listen to, though!

Edit: Also, why does it say new topic from Alphagaia when I click on notifications?

Apart from writers doing their thing: nothing.

They asked about the animated film, Dan said they have writers in the process now and the studio is very enthusiastic about it.

Oh, no. It's Ghostbusters 3 all over again. Fortunately I don't think it will take 27 years to get the next project off the ground.

Well, even if it really were Ghostbusters 3 now at least they don't have to wait for Murray to read it.

Might be another 15. Hopefully the children of the 80's wont be in our 50's when it comes out.

It was fun hearing Reitman school Troy and Chris on comedy and the podcast is proof there are GB questions that stump him. I was hoping he would have known what was playing when Egon was scanning the halls.

I did it, but I can't understand spoken English very well.

That's one I don't know, but if I recall correctly it was a radio broadcast of some sorts, right?

It could. I honestly don't know. Without ever looking hard into it, I always had a shot in the dark guess it was an episode of "Dallas" because I'm 90% sure I hear the name "Barnes" like Troy asked in the podcast. It was the evening, prime time TV, someone was probably settling in for the night.

In his defense, it was over thirty years ago and if it wasn't a conscious decision of his, it could have been something free or in the public domain that the sound mixer/designer just threw in there.

Agreed. I just meant that's the first time I heard him reply he didn't know. Hmm, sound mixer should be in the credits...

I guess Ernie didn't liked the reboot idea so much.

The further we get from the release of the reboot, my feelings about the reboot become more and more like Ernie's feelings about the reboot.

Maybe their NDA have expired?

Even Reitman said something less enthusiastic a little while ago (that he had other ideas about the direction of the movie).

Hmm, maybe it's trouble with English interpretation, but I see him talk about wanting to do a proper sequel (something we all want?) being disappointed by the BO of GB:ATC, and disliking the decision by the makers of the cartoon that he never got to do the voice work for the RGB. How is that less enthusiastic about the movie?

I mean, when they were promoting the movie all they said was positive things (great movie, funny story, great idea). Only now we hear some critical aspects.

Reitman: had different ideas, the movie was too expensive.

Hudson: prefer a passing of the torch movie over a reboot, feel sorry for the girls who had to "rethread" an old story VS. Doing their own thing in an hypotetical true sequel.

Yeah, I can agree with those sentiments. But I don't think it has anything to do with NDA's. It's not uncommon to critisize and analise a movie after the fact. Especially a movie that was so divisive.

And he's still saying that. There's no dramatic reveal that he hated the movie or anything: "I think it was an entertaining movie. Certainly I don’t think anybody could say that it wasn’t a good movie."

Guys...people can say positive things about ATC without it being some evil conspiracy, lol. Yeesh...

ATC fans have been saying from the very beginning that we would have preferred a sequel. But somehow that was always ignored because we weren't also spitting with rage over a reboot.

Hey, calm down Gringo.

I didn't said that Ernie is saying negative things about the reboot. He's still talking nicely about it only adding a BUT at the end. Back in July there weren't no BUT.

Of course people are going to be mostly positive when the movie is coming out. And of course they're going to point to possible reasons why the BO wasn't higher. It's not a big conspiracy.

I never mentioned the word conspiracy.

I was only wondering at how Ernie`s words has changed trough the time.

From: bad idea to wonderful movie to bad idea again :)

Nothing has changed. People are capable of holding more than one idea in their head about a movie. You are nitpicking basic human and marketing psychology, because we can't have ATC getting praise for more than two seconds at a time.

To tell the truth I liked the reboot. It was a little nice parallel dimension chapter of the saga. Nothing Oscar worthy, nothing so nightmarish.

So, if I make an observation about the movie reception or about its stars statement it's purely out of curiosity.

I recalled you saying you were greatly disappointed, among other things. But hey, like I said, we can hold more than one thought in our heads. ;)

I think not hiring Hudson for RGB was for the best. Having one but not all the cast voicing their characters would have felt too uneven. Arsenio Hall did a great job so that worked out fine in the end.

As Juror mentions here the key to this is 'positive publicity'. Hudson obviously isn't going to say anything bad about a film that's coming out he has ties to right? Yeah it's fake to see actors sometimes pretend to show enthusiasm for a film but that's how publicity works.

Juror you're not keeping a list of who likes and dislikes Answer The Call are you? I ask because that's not a very helpful thing to do, grouping people like that. I'm sure you don't but curious by what you've said :)
