Ghostbusters, 1984

An interesting interview with Ernie Hudson from 2014. He talks about his disappointment with how Winston’s role was drastically cut in the first Ghostbusters movie compared to the original script. Winston’s backstory was removed and he doesn’t show up until pretty far into the movie.

Hudson doesn’t seem bitter, but he was understandably displeased. He mentioned that director Ivan Reitman said they wanted to give more screen time to Bill Murray. (Another article I read suggests that the Peter-Dana love angle came in as a way to give Murray more of a focus.)

Here’s my two cents: Murray, Harold Ramis, and Dan Aykroyd already had history together via TV, movies, and sketch comedy. Ramis said in interviews that he knew how to write in a way that captured Murray’s voice. I think diminishing Winston’s role was not a slight at Ernie Hudson, but instead reflected the writers maximizing Murray’s Peter Venkman. And yet…personally I think Venkman has aged the most poorly as a character.

I think a big factor that makes the Ghostbusters great is that they’re an ensemble. They all have their own strengths and weaknesses, but at the end of the day, their interpersonal dynamics make the movie so good. Winston is an integral part of that dynamic imho.

Winston is awesome and I hope we see more of him as the Ghostbusters franchise moves forward.

In Cry Uncle, when Egon's Uncle Cyrus comes to visit, the Ghostbusters learn that he is ashamed of his nephew's line of work. The guys decide to prove to Egon's uncle that ghosts are real, but not all goes as planned.

A few stills from this episode below. When the Ghostbusters track down Egon, he has an especially warm reunion with Janine.

a spicy take

Ghostbusters should have stayed as one movie, and not a movie franchise.

The sequels and reboots aren’t as good as the original movie. If it weren’t for the bad sequels, the integrity of the story would remain intact.

Slept terribly, I don't wanna be at work right now. No amount of coffee will help.

No thoughts, just Egon adjusting his tie before going down the fire pole on their first mission

There is no end to my love for him
