I fucking loved ghostbusters as a kid. It was one of my first autistic movies. I watched it probably a stupid amount of times. Anyway it didn’t age well and idk how to feel about watching it so much as a kid
Whether or not a movie is diadactically pure or even good should have no effect on whether you enjoy it. You can and should recognize how Reagan the undertones of Ghostbusters is while enjoying the fact its also a really fucking fun movie about busting ghosts. The fact you enjoy it means you can analyze it even more cause its not a chore to watch. You didn’t end out hating the EPA, sp dont worry about it
Yeah, I think calling the EPA the villains is a big stretch. They’re a plot device in a comedy movie. They’re the catalyst of the climax not the villain. Someone im guessing at Cracked.com had to wrote an article and came up with this under a deadline and now irs the only take about the movie. They were just trying to be silly and what comes out if it was incidental and subconscious unless it was anything Dan Akroyd contributed which were an absolute reflection of his belief
Back in its heyday, Cracked was pretty notorious for doing a lot of research, then completely misinterpreting it in a weird way. I remember there was one article where they mentioned Native Americans traveling to Europe centuries before Columbus. Turns out, what they actually read was that Indians were there. From the Indus Valley. In India.

And who do people remember more as a villain, the EPA guy or the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man?

It was 100% a Cracked article, although I can’t remember who wrote it.
