Ben & Rob sit on a throne of blood and discuss ‘Ghostbusters 2’, the hotly anticipated and much maligned sequel to the classic original that everyone loves to hate but can’t pinpoint why. Released in 1989, ‘Ghostbusters 2’ made Columbia Pictures over two hundred million dollars richer but was still considered a flop, despite bringing back the full cast of Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver and Rick Moranis.

Having lost their status and credibility five years after covering New York City with gooey roasted marshmallows in ‘Ghostbusters’, the city's former heroes and once-popular spirit-hunters struggle to keep afloat, forced to work odd jobs. However, when Dana and her baby have yet another terrifying encounter with the paranormal, it is up to Peter Venkman and his fearless team of supernatural crime fighters to step up and save the day. But is ‘Ghostbusters’ just a franchise that refuses to sequel well? Why does this film suffer so much among fan opinion compared to the original 1984 classic? And is Vigo The Carpathian just a terrible villain?!
