Ghostbusters (1984) – Who You Gonna Call and What to Do Until They Show Up
The one thing I love the most after a good ass kicking film is a film that makes you laugh your ass off, and Ghostbusters is one of those films! Crackle.com is doing a special this month focused on Summer Drive-In classics. They are featuring 31 movies in 31 days.
