 Yeah, that hook guy has a point. That's a hot mug guys. Hey guys, this is my review for real Ghostbusters Now this was an episode that I've always had a kind of a fond heart for because one it has a perfect evolution of supernatural fans in terms of Conventions and just the overall fan base it describes how they were in the beginning and it definitely describes how they were Now towards the end. I like the tongue-in-cheek humor talking about some of the issues that the show has actually had Including what the hook guy talks about with why don't they have weapons on bungee cords? And I actually just really like the idea of Sam and Dean getting to see Themselves. This is again another meta episode. So you've had two in a row now You've had changing channels and now you've got this one and this is beyond meta If anything this episode would be replicated again for the 200th episode where they go to that school to see Supernatural being done by an all-girls Schoolhouse and there are some issues here and there throughout this episode because like the tongue-in-cheek jokes Particularly the bungee cord joke. It's good, but there isn't a lot like it There's a few here and there but more so it's just kind of low-grade humor as well as the couple at the end Which is just put in so oddly But I'll get to that this episode follows Sam and Dean who are called to this house this Building as an urgent call from Chuck. It turns out actually it was Becky who called them to the first supernatural fan convention This woman is absolutely crazy, but the funny thing is she describes a lot of the very hardcore Supernatural fans people hate this person yet. I have met so Many like her Through my comments, especially when I started getting critical of the show in season 12 This woman encapsulates a large group of Supernatural fans at least the diehard ones that were very strong and adamant before this show ended Admittedly is actually quite funny when they roll up to the house and you see the six other impolos Which is funny because those are probably all of the other stunt impolos They had six impolos on this show if I'm correct. The building that they're shooting at is actually the Stanley Park tea house It's actually one of the most beautiful buildings on that island I love that it's also a larping episode which again would be touched on in further episodes of Charlie But I like how they point out the silliness of what they are. I like how These guys are all acting as Dean and Sam, but they're caricatures Especially the two who help them throughout the episode I Thought that the relationship with them was quite funny because they're trying to stay in character But at the same time they're also like this is ridiculous They also have a relationship with the brothers the characters like they say they were just regular everyday Joe's Who are inspired by these guys who get to save the world but also have a brother who's willing to die for them Because as far as they know the story ended with Dean going to hell in season 3 They never got anything after that which admittedly though brings up a little bit of a point that I have a kind of a criticism Funnily enough it took a guy again He talks about how Ruby is untrustworthy And I don't know whether he's referring to her in season 3 or for you to turn referring to her to season 4 However, that's impossible because Carver Enlin never wrote anything past Dean going to hell kind of curious of what he's talking about But again, that might be a joke that's kind of meant for us as the audience rather than the people there Most likely really when Kate Cassidy was in you didn't know you had no idea what she was doing And that's what I liked about that Ruby I thought the use of the ghosts in the building was actually a pretty good idea like that There was a twist that the mother wasn't really actually the evil one it was well She was evil, but it was the three little hobgoblins that like scalping people. I thought that was kind of cool I did like how they use the woman who was dressed up as the deranged mother to try but then the cell phone goes off I like a lot of elements of this episode. I think that some of it's really funny I like it when the guy's trying to like the lighter, but it doesn't go off He's like how can Dean always get this on the first try and like I said There's a lot of these little tongue-in-cheek humor bits But I thought there would just be a little bit more because it's not excessive if anything is under excessive I think it pops up a little bit too infrequently for it to be a consistent joke thing because they had a lot more room They had at least I don't know three or four more instances where they could do it overall though The real Ghostbusters is probably one of my favorite meta episodes. I've never gone to one of these cons before I've seen videos of them. I've seen people talk about them I've seen how much the prices are to go to one of these things and it's never been of interest to me but I can imagine the Absolute fanfare that is at these things that camaraderie between fans I kind of wonder what would happen to me if I went and started voicing my opinions about the latter end of the show It's still cool to see this and because this would eventually build the supernatural fan base They eventually started baking jokes about it and they built it on which speaking of which the jokes that didn't land They make a joke about the homoerotic subtext which I Have never gotten that shit Ever I kind of wish that they had made some kind of comment about how stupid that Line of thinking is come on people Weird, but then also the end bit where it turns out that the two that were helping them are in fact a couple themselves It's a little odd mainly because the guy does this the taller dude puts his head on his shoulder and it just looks Really weird. I figure that it maybe would have been better if the shorter guy did it It's like an awkward little take and then Dean's reaction to it as well is a bit like Yeah, it's not terrible, but clearly the joke has not aged well since 2009 just doesn't come across good I don't think it came across well back then either but yeah kind of Dollars and donuts I guess for some and the real Ghostbusters isn't really even a story episode until the very end which This was a little bit of lazy writing because Becky brings up all of these bits from the last few books talking about what Bella did with the cult and The fact that Chuck never mentions anything, but again, they never asked him Which also kind of is odd that the brothers never asked Chuck about this I guess I understand why they did that But I think it's a little bit of a lazy tack on and it's one of the the detractors for me to this episode However, what we're gonna get in the next episode is completely fine Because the next episode is one of my favorite episodes of this season So in the end I'm gonna give the real Ghostbusters a five out of seven It's a solid episode it's solid fun and poked at the fan base and Kind of showed what it was then and what it definitely is now, but let's see what you guys have to say about it I'm interested to see what your comments are so let's read those off the real Ghostbusters is a really good episode Who's only crime is being sandwiched between greatness you have changing channels proceeding it and abandon all hope following it It's a perfect example of how to take a generic monster of the week storyline and dress it up with something very entertaining with the whole convention This episode is and one later on in the show where Sam and Dean Larp with Charlie are the best ones in this vein Can't wait for the hammer of the God's review. I'll admit actually yeah Yeah, I point that out at the end of my review as well as that it's it's an unfortunate spot But admittedly that whole idea of saying that it takes the whole monster of the week idea and adds a little bit of flavor to it It's good. I actually do that is a good point to it It's definitely the formula that they would take as the show would continue on But yeah, no, you're you are correct with that assumption there That's a good way to describe this episode Congratulations on reaching your 200th episode review of Supernatural Jeremy. That's what I call being dedicated to fan Some would call it possibly something else, but let's see what you have to say This episode is silly, but still a funny meta episode and enjoyable enough to watch for Sam and Dean to have to deal with their fans at their first Supernatural convention the conclusion with the lead that Sam gets from Becky about where the cult might be is probably the only connection with the main storyline of the season my only two problems with this episode is that it gets a bit too silly at times and Just like previously with sympathy of the devil the character Becky. I'm sorry, but I can't stand this character I mean, I understand she's a big fan that is really obsessed with Supernatural and for this reason She's supposed to act like this, but man, I really find her annoying Well, I'm kind of curious to then when you thought about with my connection between this and like the Super die-hard Supernatural fans I love the ghostbusters. I love the real ghostbusters I particularly enjoy the two guys that who went from larping to being real heroes and they revealed that to other Larpers that the ghosts are real and Chuck steps up to take out that ghost all around a fun episode No, there's a lot of like building with the the additional characters and that's always fun to see and While Supernatural would always have kind of those issues It would try to develop its side characters even in the last and the latter not very good seasons The real ghostbusters. I never finished this episode. I've tried to watch it, but I can't get through it eventually I'll get to it. I'm curious about what your thoughts are It's the only episode of this season that I've never seen all the way through I'm kind of curious as to why I might actually just comment on you actually I'm probably gonna do that right now Curious as to why you haven't The real ghostbusters in an interesting episode very good back when Chuck used to be decent. I loved him as prophet I like him as in his Supernatural season 11, but hated in season 15 what they did to his character I do like the cosplaying references to that fanfiction of Sam and Dean are getting together I think when Chuck is talking about losing his virginity. He's referring to the Virgin Mary I do like the fanfiction I do like seeing people cosplay as Sam and Dean in this episode when we're doing the dark voices because essentially again Very reminiscent of what the show would become in the end. The real ghostbusters is an interesting episode I really miss and love seeing this version of Chuck before here before Dabru and the character in season 14 and 15 I find Becky completely irritating and extremely annoying and I definitely don't like that She and Chuck get together at the end of the episode and her knowing where the cult was To me felt like a bit of a stretch But I really did enjoy the end of the episode where Dean realizes the two men that helped him are actually a couple But I do like this Chuck It's nice to see Chuck as Chuck and not as what he would obviously become Congratulations on hitting your 200th episode for Supernatural I know I'm late in the game with your reviews, but I'm really glad I found your channel And I'm fat. I'm glad you found it as well, Joe The real ghostbusters is such a good call back to the show's history A lot like the 200th episode in season 10 fan fiction Although fan fiction was more of a love letter to the fans the real ghostbusters likes to poke fan Poke fun at the nerds who were treated back then I can relate this episode reminds me of the movie galaxy quest Yes, which is a movie. I hope you review in the future. Actually, I should check review that funny enough The the in a ghostbusters cartoon the real ghostbusters the animated ghostbusters go to see the live-action debut Ghostbusters film and they make their complaints about it That's really why we see Sam and Dean being very bewildered about the supernatural convention overall and seeing how fans view them Who have no idea that they are they really exist? Although I never really liked Becky in terms of a character it adds more to my hate towards Chuck trying to get in a Relationship with a super obsessive fan. It goes along with how I much I hate Zeus for Every woman he hits on so I can see how Chuck had a similar style towards humanity It's definitely a meta episode I feel like it is much better than season 4's meta episode where Chuck was introduced the whole tidbit at the end Where Becky revealing Crowley as has the coal is a bit of a stretch considering Bella said that will if it holds the contract like Dean Has held the contract That has this contract held by her with Bella being all emotional about this whole situation with her soul about to be taken by Hellhound I don't see her lying that she gave it to Crowley all the same this episode is slightly a good transition After the heavy ending of changing channels Ah, I don't know if I could say about the change the transition It's it's definitely a reprieve of the about the like I said the ball smash or you're back again the next episode I didn't know that about the animated ghostbusters show I watched a few episodes as a kid, but I never really got into it But yes the galaxy quest actually you are very dead on with that reference and it is probably something I should review in the future The real ghostbusters is the only episode in season five that I don't like the thing that the previous episodes done is Reveal only one important information for example changing channels this episode reveals the trickster is nothing else still a great episode But lack story same almost goes for the next episode the real ghostbusters It only reveals where the cult might be but the main difference is that I really don't like this episode every time I see this episode I think Supernatural's team just sat together saying okay Why don't we make an episode to make Sam and Dean appreciate their lives Appreciate each other and give it a tip about the long lost cult while we put them in an ordinary ghost hunt And why not make fun of ourselves as well as the conventions and the fans This is the episode most damaged and changed by the latter revelations around Chuck Everything involving his character plays a lot darker now this episode lovingly poked fun So fun at some of the excessiveness of fan culture, but now it plays with Ever so more subtle mockery of the hardcore fans It is hard to see Damien and Barnes as anything other than Derision it feels more like a mockery mocking their queer fans They included them in in some way three out of seven this episode is unique, but I personally don't like it I understand where you're coming from like I say I'm happy that someone else kind of sees where I'm coming from with The relationship in the end I feel like it it's meant to be a joke rather than an actual thing that has not aged Well really at all And yes, I knew that the whole coat reference was definitely gonna be something that you guys would bring up with talking about this episode It's like it's such a stretch and it's probably the worst stretch You're gonna get in this season, but at least that's it at least that's all we're gonna get in terms of stretches This episode is fine for the 100th anniversary special Don't worry. It isn't the 100th anniversary special, but I made the exact same mistake So don't worry. Yeah, I know what you're coming from when you were celebrating the show in such a manner You expect to see lots of references and characters. We have seen the star and although we got that I don't think it was enough Really on the same line here this episode focuses more on the ghosts that haunt this place and the intel the boys get In order to further the plot rather than the overall celebration of the show Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing you decide, but me I think this decision robbed the episode of its energy This is probably due to Eric Kripke not wanting to go full met on at this point in his career So by no means it's a bad episode But if you really want an amazing Anniversary example special episode look no further than the 200th episode. I'm like Kripke Jeremy Kerber went all over Always went over all over the top with everything you did do control anyone I still haven't seen do patrol, but I'm funny. Yeah, no 200th episode definitely takes what this episode tried to do and Goes all the way with it. I think that Kripke wanted to keep on a line And also the numbers for this season is funny enough with the numbers for this season are not that high They're not as high as season 4 season 4 was way higher than this episode than the majority of this season so kind of can see where the hesitancy is but Yeah, no, y'all you bring up good points. There you go. All right, there you go.
