The Ghostbusters Will Reunite For Josh Gad’s ‘Reunited Apart’ On June 15
FrozenstarJosh Gadhas been bringing a lot of joy to fans of some of the most beloved films of all time thanks to his web seriesReunited Apart. On the series so far, Gad has virtually reunited the cast and filmmakers ofThe Goonies, Back to the Future, Splash, andLord of the Rings, and now it sounds like there’s something strange in his neighborhood, because he put in a call to theGhostbusters.Reunited Apartwill debut itsGhostbustersepisode next MondayJune 15, and an amusing teaser has arrived to whet your appetite for the supernatural. Believe me when I say that you will be surprised at who they got to call in for theGhostbustersreunion. Check out theReunited Apart Ghostbustersreunion teaser below.
Reunited Apart Ghostbusters Reunion
Josh Gad makes a call to directorJason Reitman, who is directing the upcomingGhostbusters: Afterlife(pushed back from a release this summer to next March), and initially he’s very enthusiastic to do an episode for his movies likeThank You for SmokingorJuno(I’d really love to see the latter). But then Reitman realizes that Josh Gad is only using him to get to his father,Ivan Reitman, the director of the originalGhostbustersfranchise.
Ivan Reitman gets on the call, and he’s very excited to be onReunited Apartto talk about the political romantic comedyDavewith Kevin Kline. But of course, Gad wants theGhostbustersgoods, and he gets them whenAnnie Potts(who played Ghostbusters receptionist Janine Melnitz) gets on the call and clears Gad for everything he needs by asking him that one key question fromGhostbusters:
“Do you believe in UFOs, astral projections, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full trance mediums, the Loch Ness monster and the theory of Atlantis?”
That’s when we get the roll call for who will be calling in to the Ghostbusters reunion, and it miraculously includesBill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, andSigourney Weaver, in addition to Ivan Reitman and Annie Potts. I can’t remember the last time all of them got together like this, so it’s going to be a real treat. Plus, Jason Reitman will be involved too, so maybe we’ll get some new details aboutGhostbusters: Afterlife.
Sadly,Rick Moranisisn’t anywhere to be seen in this teaser. However, Josh Gad is supposed tostar in the upcomingHoney, I Shrunk the Kidssequelwith him, so I’m wondering if he’s keeping Moranis' involvement a secret since he’s been the cast member who is consistently missing from any Ghostbusters reunions from the past, even more than Bill Murray.
TheGhostbustersepisode ofReunited Apartwill stream live on Monday,June 15at 12:00 P.M. ET/9:00 A.M. PTon Josh Gad’s YouTube channel, and it will be available to watch whenever you want immediately after.
