On today’s show we talk all about the smash comedy Ghost Busters. We talk about the story, the casting, and the films success and release. Then we movie on and talk about all the stuff it inspired off-screen: Video Games, Books, Comic Books, Cartoons, Cereal, etc. Just a reminder to drop by our official forums to discuss Ghost Busters.
The above art was done by Artist/Illustrator, Derek. To see more of Derek’s work, drop by his website at Lunchbag Art. You can see more retro themed art that was done for the Retroist Podcast (including Derek’s) at The Art of the Retroist Podcast.

Allow me to be an uber-dork for a moment and mention a fun little Ghostbuster tie in. You always wanted to be a Ghostbuster? Have a bunch of six sided dice laying around? Then you shoudl try the Ghostbuster RPG by West End Games.

As always, great show Retroist!
Agree with OffisaPups about the show, Retroist!
I still have that Ghostbusters RPG and it is indeed a wonderful, and fun filled game. Any boxed set that gives you xerox copies of a Ghostbusters franchise form to be filled out just brings a smile to this geeks face. :)
I was the game master for Ghostbusters during lunch in High-School for almost a year. Then we jumped over to DC Heroes game, also by West End gaming. Ah, glorious days they were.
Where did you get that version of “The House Is Haunted”?
