is there something weird in your neighborhood who are you going to call
ghostbusters there we go you you know it too
paul congratulations on ghostbusters afterlife i'm never eating marshmallows again they're too cute
they are pretty cute thank you olivia yeah they're um i think that's a really good choice stay away
from them even the ones that aren't alive vicious but adorable exactly spawn um but
it must be the dream being in a ghostbusters movie what was your reaction and who did you tell well
i was excited um jason reitman called me and told me about it and i was so excited as anybody would
be and the first person i told was my wife who happened to be sitting right there she must have
been overjoyed as well i i don't know she was probably annoyed that i left a coffee cup on the
coffee table she's like oh ghostbusters whatever you know what yeah she's like great that's great
now why don't you take that cup to the sink you lazy bum how many times
have you listened to the ghostbusters theme song and please tell me you know every word
well i mean my gosh the number of times i've listened to it or countless i i you know i was
around when it came out it was on the radio every 10 minutes and so yes of course i know every word
and if it comes on then you know you kind of can't help but sing along um it's not on
but i still know yes is there something weird in your neighborhood who you going to call
ghostbusters there we go you you know it too so did you just play it all the time
on set every day i'm assuming we had work to do we couldn't sit around listening to music
you're breaking my heart here paul we had ghosts to catch killer replica a replica of what
a ghost trap family legacy is such a big part of this movie what's your kids favorite movie of
yours oh they don't they don't really watch movies that i've done they're not interested and i don't
voice them on them so uh yeah they're big they're big fans of step brothers
which i don't blame them that movie is hilarious i mean i'm not in it but it's they love that one
they've got to watch this though they'll love this yeah oh they do they do they they saw they
actually did see it and they really do like it and they you know they um they do like the marvel
stuff too they they gotta kick out of end game new york in the 80s it's like the walking dead
your dad never mentioned this to you i feel like people are going to be crying
tears of joy watching this because it's just so nostalgic you've obviously been a part of
so many incredible films if you were to make a sequel to any of those movies which one do you
think you'd be most interested to see there are some movies i just loved making i have no idea
i don't know what a sequel sequel would be i had a lot of fun doing i love you man i wonder
what would happen with those guys if they you know now that they're older what would i want
to see what would happen with jason siegel's character geek i just stepped in your dog's crap
if rashida and i if we became parents would be interesting i don't know that'd be that'd be a
that'd be a fun or maybe maybe maybe this is 50. if we don't do it now when are we going to do it
your eyes are kind of glazing over no i'm just i'm processing it all they'd be fun to
make i don't know if i don't know if the library i made i'm certainly not
pushing for that to happen but if i think forward i'd think ah i wonder what that story would look
like i mean i'd be totally interested to see it so we'll pick we'll pitch it after this
it might shock a lot of people that the ghosts in this aren't actually there we won't tell
anyone but what are you seeing instead what's in place well you know the original ghostbusters
there were you know they had a mix of practical effects and special effects and that was because
that was what you know the technology was at the time one of the things that jason wanted to do was
use a lot of practical effects that's part of the reason why i think it feels a little bit like a
throwback and a bit nostalgic it works really well i think it's one of the strengths of the movie um
you know the marshmallow men in that scene that i did were not actually there as you pointed out but
like there was a bag of marshmallows and there was a guy underneath with a pencil kind of popping the
bag so i'd see the bag moving around there was a terror dog that was you know guys were controlling
so i'd see that you know so it was really cool to work with actual practical effects um in a way
that you don't really do anymore um i've you know and having worked now in marvel i've worked with
total complete visual effects where i am responding to a you know a tennis ball at
the end of a flag or a tape mark or something and just imagining something's there so you know in
the case of um ghostbusters a lot of times i was reacting to an actual thing well you guys
nailed it thank you so much for talking to me in huge congrats on the movie thank you very much
you
