28 Days Lady-er: Episode 59 - Ghostbusters (2016)

If there is one thing we have all learned over the last two years of global pandemic, it’s that we have to take our wins where we can get them! It is with that spirit that we jump into 2022 with a nice long episode on a movie that means the world to us.

This month, Sophie and Hannah are joined by first-time guest and absolute gem of a human, Thor, to talk about everything we love about Ghostbusters (2016), the joy and comfort that it provides, and the heartbreaking way it was received by a certain segment of “fans.”

Sophie did lots of homework for this episode so we have lots of links for you!
