Hey Patrons, here's your exclusive follow-up to episode 19 on Harold Ramis/The Ice Harvest. On this Sidetracks bonus episode we discuss:

- Ghostbusters: Afterlife & Ghostbusters 2016 and why the original two movies work.

- Disney's Star Wars Hotel

- Club Paradise (1986), Harold Ramis' first dud - an island comedy that stars Robin Williams and some SCTV regulars.

- The film roles of Eugene Levy and why Ryan has disdain for him and his nipples.

- The absurdity of the Meatballs franchise.

- Blues Brothers 2000 

- Joe's seething hatred of Jim Belushi. 

- What's coming next year from us; Problem Child, Weekend at Bernie's, Wild Wild West, Big Trouble, and yes... Stay Tuned!

Awesome-O Kickass

What a treat to hear you guys talk about the then-upcoming Star Wars hotel on the day they announce it’s shutting down

I know this is old...but Ryan confidently stating that blunts weren't around in the 90s is hilarious to me.

JokersJuicyAss

Not only that he thought Blunts and Joints were the same

Luke Gordnier

I love defuntland too, highly recommend the defunct tv videos.

Fun fact about that Ghostbusters video game, made by the same people (Terminal Reality) who made Walking Dead Survival Instinct, a very well known bad game that I will defend, they also made Roadkill, which is a great forgotten PS2 era game, think GTA but in a Mad Max world

Man I want to do a Movie Theaters Memories, but all of my memories at the theaters are not interesting enough to even be worth typing out

Nate Gonzales

Seconded! I spent this last summer just devouring their channel as well as YesterWorld

I think Afterlife's script would've really benefited from the same treatment as the first film, where Aykroyd's weirdness was grounded by the sensibility of Ramis. If someone in the room had said "this is too much reverence, let's dial it back and focus on the story"...

Eli Griffith

So excited for the Problem Child and Stay Tuned episodes. Happy Holidays, guys!

Joshua Carter Birdwell

Hope you guys have a safe and happy holiday. Can't wait for Problem Child and Stay Tuned reviews. Those are going to be a lot of fun.

Jamie Williams

God bless ya. Love you guys. But I will never get the Caddyshack love.

Troy Thomas

Merry Christmas, you guys! Thank you so much for all the great content, we're all looking forward to what you have planned for next year!

Luke Gordnier

Happy holidays boys, doing a double feature of quick change and curly sue today. Quick change was great and in the middle of watching curly sue. Joe you were right it’s terrible.

Brett Lawrence

Sounds like no “Mr. Destiny” retrospective in the foreseeable future. Give Jim a chance. In all seriousness, great work from both of you. Looking forward to the 2022 lineup. Side note: Also, let’s not forget Michael Richards in The Ratings Game (which I think you guys mentioned during the Smoochy episode) and UHF. Both really solid flicks.

Sidetracks

Wasn't aware of that. It really is a great game. - Joe

Sidetracks

Agreed. The story needed more Ray Stanz, honestly. But from a story standpoint and just for the logistics of the tech. - Joe

Sidetracks

Curly Sue is heartbreaking because it became Hughes' final directorial effort and it's just such a schmaltzy pile of shit. - Joe

Trembling Colors

The cartoon show (The Real Ghosbusters) and the toys are a big reason the Ghostbusters franchise has such devoted fans as much as the two movies. The Winston backstory is that he was an Army medic which was supposed to be mentioned when Janine is reading out his resume. It didn’t really need to be there but would have been good to still include to show that he brought something to the table other than just being willing to do the job.
