THE SCI-FI PODCAST EP 27: Experiencing Ghostbusters Dimension at The Void

Posted on October 17, 2016 by IcarusArts

Welcome to The SciFi Podcast, ~~a wretched hive of scum and villainy~~ a bi-weekly podcast focused on in-depth discussion of all things Science Fiction. The SciFi Podcast features four hosts—Mattroid, Solo, Brain, and Station!—and frequent guests. Each episode we look at a science fiction theme or franchise and take the discussion where no show has gone before.

In this special episode, Station! and Mattroid are joined by SpaceWolf to recount a live hyper-reality experience at the Utah-based headquarters of The Void, where Mattroid, Solo and SpaceWolf were joined by friends of the show (and previous guest) Jonasty and (Movie Stream Cast’s) Rach Hell for a round of Ghostbusters Dimension, which is now open to the general public at Madame Tussaud‘s in New York City.

And for even more on our experience at The Void, read Mattroid’s “Gary the Unicorn” column for The Daily Herald newspaper, Gary the Unicorn: Entering The Void.

Welcome to The SciFi Podcast, ~~a wretched hive of scum and villainy~~ a bi-weekly podcast focused on in-depth discussion of all things Science Fiction. The SciFi Podcast features three hosts—Mattroid, Solo, Brain, and Station!—and frequent guests. Each episode we look at a science fiction theme or franchise and take the discussion where no show has gone before.

Who you gonna call? The question should probably best be posed differently: When you call the ghostbusters, will you use a payphone or a smartphone? In this spooky episode, Brain, Station! and Mattroid discuss the differences between the original Ghostbusters movie and the recently released, female-fronted version. Which do you prefer and why? Let us know in the comments section.
