Podcast:The Halloween Podcast Published On: Fri Sep 25 2026 Description: Who ya gonna call? For Xennials, Ghostbusters was far more than a 1984 movie. The film became a full-blown childhood phenomenon, with its unmistakable logo, proton packs, Ecto-1, ghosts, toys, cartoons and one of the most recognizable theme songs of the decade. Today, Lyle and Meghan revisit the original Ghostbusters and The Real Ghostbusters, looking at the strange combination of comedy and the supernatural that made the franchise so much fun—and helped it find a permanent home at Halloween despite the movie having nothing whatsoever to do with the holiday. And with both animated Ghostbusters series that debuted in 1986 celebrating their 40th anniversaries this year, the timing couldn't be better. 36 days until Halloween!
