Eric Vespe and John Gholson discuss Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II, as well as the various canonical and non-canonical offshoots, spinoffs, and wholly unconnected diaspora connected to them: video games, toys, and even Ecto Cooler.
Happy 30th and 25th birthdays (respectively) to each. We promise Electric Shadow is not turning into an anniversary-only podcast. Alternate title for this episode: Two Rays and an Egon.

Playthroughs of the Commodore 64, NES, and XBOX 360 Ghostbusters games exist on YouTube.
Patton Oswalt has an entire sub-genre of Ghostbusters tweets for your pleasure.
He caught me. Shit.
