Yo, what's up? Welcome to Kind of Funny Games Daily for Thursday, July 23rd, 2026. I'm your host, Blessing, at AOA Junior. Joining me is the legend, Greg Miller.
Hello, everybody. Why is it always my heart that has to get broken? You know what I mean? It's always Greg's heart. Can't they go for Tim once in a while?
But also, don't you get all the games announced... Don't you get a million Ghostbusters games in all different ways? Here's a VR one. Here's a multiplayer one. Here's a new Ghostbusters movie 30 years past its prime. Here's a Ghostbusters movie with none of the Ghostbusters in it. Here's a Ghostbusters toy.
First off, that movie doesn't exist. It doesn't exist?
Yeah. What was that one called?
A Ghostbusters movie with no Ghostbusters. The Ghostbusters aren't in it. They've been in both. They won't let the guys go. Yeah. Bill Murray has to be in them. They won't let him go.
I don't agree. Even in like the mid 2010s one with.
Oh, we don't talk about 2016. 2016. We don't talk about 2016.
It's because I can't say. I've never gone to the mat for 2016. There's no. Dude. You know what I mean?
Preaching to the choir. It's not a good movie. It has nothing to do with the fact that it's an all female cast.
That's not my problem. No, no, no, no, no, no. I think they should give it another try.
Yeah. Do it again. Just make it good this time. Man, they should have done it. And just why are we like aping the original? Like it was just a weird way to do this of like, okay, cool. We're doing an all female, an all new cast, not in the same timeline. Awesome. Throw everything out, throw everything out the window. Nothing should be sacred. They don't need to drive the hearse. They don't need that. You know what I mean? Like it definitely shouldn't be in New York. What the fuck are we doing? Why are you remaking it? But saying it's, Where's Ghostbusters? And they were in that. They were in that.
You know I've never seen a Ghostbusters, right? I know, I know. They were in that. They were in that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. Okay. Where does it usually take place? Can I guess? It's in New York. Yeah. Oh, okay. But you don't want it to take place in New York.
When they were like, hey, we're doing a brand new Ghostbusters that has nothing to do with the old stuff. Yeah. New cast. all female. I was like, this sounds like a really radical, like when I knew they were going to remake Ghostbusters and I dreaded it for years. And so when they announced that, I was like, this is honestly our best case scenario of like, we're doing something totally different. And then it was like, actually, we're just taking different parts and shoving them in. We're taking all these square pegs and trying to put them in circle holes.
Give me your, give me your 30 second pitch for a brand new Gus, Gus, Gus, Gus, Gus Buster as well.
But are you going to say that doesn't have anything to do with the other thing?
Correct. Yeah, but it needs a brand new cast.
Kind of a reboot. If we were rebooting Ghostbusters, you shouldn't do it, but you need the name of it, I would make it a horror movie. Oh. I mean, if we're like, let's jump genres here for like, we need to do like... comedies don't and i i know i'm sounding like a hollywood exec right now comedies don't work the same way they used to i feel like in theaters anymore right and in the new landscape horror movies do so go make a like a really scary ghostbusters where yeah it's kind of just the name or whatever right you know it doesn't need to be this i'm very i'm i'm extremely widow's bay pilled right now but i think for me as somebody who's not watched ghostbusters so i could be way off but like i feel like that could totally work with the balance of comedy and horror they do in that show oh yeah there's something there i would ditch most of the comedy i
