SpielbergPod - The Steven Spielberg Podcast

The SpielbergPod is a show where me and some friends rewatch the films of Steven Spielberg going through them one at a time . It's a mix of film discussion, humour and just good ol' fashioned conversation among friends. Features of the show include recastings of the films with current day actors, companion pieces to the film and our trademark feature 'Who Am I?'

In this bonus episode me and my friend Jevon Downer (@itsjevjevjev) discuss the Ivan Reitman film 'Ghostbusters'. Also, in our podcast extra, we discuss Jev's top five films of all-time.

Along the way we wonder why Winston is in this film, we debate whether Stay Puft was a real American brand of marshmallow, we quote the film Anti-Trust, we talk about my love of Monster Munch and the origin behind 'crossing the streams'. We also compare Ray and Venkman to Jez and Mark in Peep Show and talk Congo, Drag Me to Hell, Ernest Scared Stupid and adverts from the 80's (remember Mr Soft?).
