*REBOOT IT MERCH IS AVAILABLE NOW:* http://tee.pub/lic/L2Fboy63Wa4
The Reboot Crew is on a job-seeking tour of the only game left in Hollywood: Streaming services! But our list of potential employers is dwindling fast, as we arrive at the offices of Netflix partner Sony to tackle their most frustrating property: Ghostbusters! Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ivan Reitman captured lightning in a bottle when they mashed up blue-collar comedy, Lovecraftian horror and lo-fi sci-fi to create 1984's Ghostbusters. With all-star turns from Bill Murray, Sigourney Weaver, Ernie Hudson and Rick Moranis, the film became one of the most unexpected hits of the 80s. But after 7 successful seasons of animated TV and one disastrous live-action sequel, the 90s could not figure out what to do with these ectoplasmic plumbers. A bevy of almost-made sequels plunged the series into development hell. Then, in 2016, a reboot exploded the franchise back across pop culture with the force and fury of a containment unit shut down by the d**kless Walter Peck. Having never met a reboot they couldn't redo, Sony responded to the non-troversy by doubling down, so a new Ecto-1 will ride AGAIN this year! But lukewarm word-of-mouth already has the studio itching for a third do-over... What's the Crew to do with a franchise that has more baggage than a cruise ship? Let's just say...The good guys dress in black, remember that, just in case we ever face to face and make contact. But it won't go how you think.
