There, she makes a new friend in Podcast newcomer Logan Kim who calls himself that because he has — you guessed it — a podcast.
Meanwhile, in an attempt to woo a girl, Trevor starts working at a diner only to realise the backbreaking work that it entails. Soon they discover that Summerville isn't just a sad place, it's also a curious one.
Earthquakes are occurring nearly daily, even though Summerville is not anywhere near any fault lines. Phoebe and Podcast start to investigate, with Grooberson's help. There are some affecting scenes involving the kids, especially as they try to figure out old Ghostbusters tech. But Reitman is unable to make them play off each other in a manner which would create momentum for Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
Podcast is a joy early on — but he becomes a narrative device for the new Ghostbusters movie, akin to Harish Patel's Karun in the Marvel movie Eternals — as Podcast offers live commentary on their adventures.
He's breaking the fourth wall of sorts, creating a movie out of their lives. Wolfhard is wasted, as he seems to just exist so he can be the new Ecto-1 driver for the gang later. There's also a bit of leap of logic in how the kids go from knowing nothing about Ghostbusters to getting a grip on all matters fairly soon — I wager there's a version of Ghostbusters: Afterlife out there that connects the dots more organically.
Annoyingly, Ghostbusters: Afterlife's adult characters are given even more of a short shrift. Callie's father issues may be instantly relatable, but that's only because Coon is a terrific actress. Sadly, she just isn't afforded much time — it's a bit of a thankless role for someone who can bring so much to any performance. That's true for Rudd as well, who is always great in comedic stuff but is working with little here. Simmons and Olivia Wilde — it will be a spoiler to say who they are playing.
And we haven't even spoken about the cash-on nostalgic returns of the old gang, including Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson. Even though everyone knows about it, Sony has been doing its best to hide them everywhere in marketing. Sadly, they have little to do in the film. In fact, the old Ghostbusters crew probably have more lines and time in the two post-credits scenes , one of which tries its best to tease a future for the struggling Ghostbusters franchise.
It's around their arrival that Ghostbusters: Afterlife loses itself. Not only does Reitman go hard on the nostalgia, but the director also opts for an inorganic, sentimental, and saccharine ending. While Maurizio was working to gain control of Gucci, his personal life was unraveling. In , he told his wife, Patrizia Reggiani Gaga , that he wanted to end their marriage after 13 years. Maurizio planned to marry again, this time to his longtime girlfriend, Paola Franchi , but he never got the chance.
In March , he was gunned down at age 46 by a hitman while on his way to work in Milan, Italy. To stay up to date on everything fantasy, science fiction, and WiC, follow our all-encompassing Facebook page and sign up for our exclusive newsletter.
