Tyler & I Bust out all our thoughts in this movie review. Tell us what you think.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a 2021 American supernatural comedy film directed by Jason Reitman, who co-wrote the screenplay with Gil Kenan. It is the sequel to Ghostbusters (1984) and Ghostbusters II (1989), both directed by Reitman's father Ivan, and the fourth film in the Ghostbusters franchise. It stars Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, and Paul Rudd, while Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts, and Sigourney Weaver reprise their roles from the original films. Set 32 years after Ghostbusters II, a single mother and her two children move to a small town in Oklahoma, where they discover their connection to the Ghostbusters and their grandfather's secret legacy.
A third Ghostbusters film had been in development since Ghostbusters II, but stalled as Murray refused to commit. In the end, it became Ghostbusters: The Video Game, which Dan Aykroyd insisted was "essentially the third movie."After cast member Harold Ramis died in 2014, Sony produced a female-driven reboot directed by Paul Feig and released in 2016. After Feig's film drew controversy and underperformed commercially, Jason Reitman developed a sequel to the original films. The new cast was announced by July 2019, while the original cast signed on two months later. It is posthumously dedicated to Ramis, who is commemorated in the closing credits. Filming took place from July to October 2019.
