**Short Subject** Revisiting and expanding on thoughts about the GHOSTBUSTERS franchise (and what the meaning of "franchise" even is in this context) from that film's featured appearance as the debut of REALLY THAT GOOD and other videos on this channel in the wake of the announcement of a new expansion of the original series canon from writer-director Jason Reitman.
"REALLY THAT GOOD" is a new kind of film-criticism series, built around the radical premise that just because "everyone knows" a movie is a classic doesn't mean it stops being worth a deeper look. The series, which debuted with a focus on the original 1980s classic GHOSTBUSTERS and has covered the likes of TITANIC, INDEPENDENCE DAY, THE AVENGERS and even TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE upcoming installment will next turn it's attention to STAR WARS; in an episode focused on George Lucas' original 1977 science fiction classic as a feature in and of itself, removed (within reason) from the subsequent pop-culture ubiquity of the broader megafranchise in order to explore why it made the impact it did upon its original release... and answer modern criticisms as to whether or not the film's reputation is "unjustly" inflated by the legacy of the presence it generated.
Stay tuned to this channel for further previews, more installments of other content and more - COMING SOON!
