I finally joined Blank Check with Griffin & David’s Patreon this weekend. I’d been meaning to do so for a long time, but on the regular Sunday podcast they mentioned they had been watching the Ghostbusters franchise for their members-only episodes, and that pushed me over the edge and I plunked down my $5 a  month commitment.

Hours later I would discover Ivan Reitman’s family had shared news of his passing the day before.

Coincidence? Or just the cosmos?

Also, if I had to pick my favorite Reitman movie, I’m not sure I could. I love both Stripes and Ghostbusters deeply, but for different reasons, so I’m choosing both!

Also, the Blank Check Patreon is totally worth the dough and if you're a fan of the show it actually feels nice to directly toss the creators a few bucks. I finished the more recent Ghostbusters commentaries and am now making my way with the two friends and Ben as they tackle the MCU filmography from start to current day.
