In this electrifying episode of Review It Yourself, we bust ghosts and break down the timeless supernatural comedy classic Ghostbusters — joined by special guest Rob from 'How Haunted? Podcast'.

If you love 80s movies, paranormal investigations, horror-comedy crossovers, or in-depth film analysis, this is the Ghostbusters podcast episode you’ve been waiting for.

Rob brings real paranormal podcasting experience to the discussion, giving a unique perspective on hauntings, scepticism, and how Ghostbusters blends supernatural lore with sharp comedy. Together, we explore whether the film still stands as the gold standard for horror-comedy — and why it continues to influence pop culture decades later.

From iconic performances and endlessly quotable dialogue to ground-breaking practical effects, Ghostbusters isn’t just nostalgia — it’s cinematic lightning in a bottle.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The genius of the character dynamics and comedic timing
• How the film balances horror, sci-fi, and comedy

• The cultural impact of Ghostbusters on film and fandom
• Whether modern audiences still connect with it
