Here’s a story for you. We started filming without owning the title and had to do alternates. Taft Broadcasting owned the title Ghostbusters as part of their half-hour sitcom starring Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker (F-Troop) and a gorilla chasing ghosts. I had never heard of it. They didn’t have proton packs or Bill Murray. Columbia paid $500,000 to buy the name, but they really should have paid Dean Martin, from whom I first heard the term. In the film Scared Stiff (1953), he and Jerry Lewis (check out his acrobatic stair descent) are in an old haunted castle, and Lizabeth Scott asks Dean: “Who are you guys?” And Dean answers: “You’ve heard of Trustbusters and Gangbusters, we’re Ghostbusters!” For my research writing the first movie, I watched every single ‘ghost’ comedy ever made. Bowery Boys, Hope and Crosby, Abbot and Costello, Martin and Lewis all did such films. Happy Halloween 2026.

Introduced Logan to Vincent Price today. House on Haunted Hill got a thumbs up.

Anybody on the committee want to be on @IWGuide1 the week after this drops? We'd love to discuss the rankings in relationship to the indies.
Welp! We wrapped production on our Holiday 2026 issue this week, as scheduled. The “Women’s 250” drops digitally Nov 12; hits newsstands Dec 1. Our editor apologizes for answering Vin’s earlier DM with the press deadline (not the actual release date) while sleep-deprived. -KM

When you watch House on Haunted Hill (1959) when your son and you can't remember who the first one to die is because everybody in the movie is white.

Watching @ovppodcast. Arn Anderson pulls Joey Marella out of the ring to stop a pin AND MARELLA ACTUALLY CALLED FOR THE BELL! Today's fan would be PISSED that it was a DQ but I've been begging for that to be a DQ for YEARS at this point.

So according to this only ten people have every had more than one 60-minute draw, which means Ric Flair had nearly 2400 different opponents in 60-minute draws. Apparently those Lou Thesz matches I've seen on Youtube are AI generated.
The Question I Keep Getting Asked Is- How Am I Still Alive? After 5,000 Matches With 2,400 Of Them Being One Hour Draws And 5 90 Minute Bouts. Round Trip To Japan, 24 Hours, Only To Wrestle Three One Hour Draws. Airplane Crash, 31 Days In The ICU And 14 Days On Life Support. 35 Days In Rehab. And You Are Worried About Me Falling Down And Hitting My Eye? WTF.

nearly quote tweeted a deranged swiftie asking for proof that “it wasn’t as common or popular for artists to partaking in the writing process of the records they recorded. Taylor popularised it & that is fact” but i don’t need that drama this early in the morning

I have definitely come around on @JCLayfield the last couple of years. Seems like a down to earth dude. Really good podcasts. And he must be a saint to deal with @HeyHeyItsConrad twice every week. @PrichardShow

Want to hear a crazy stat? 72 year old Tatsumi Fujinami (8) has wrestled more matches this year than Roman Reigns (7). The man debuted 55 years ago! He debuted in 1971. NJPW wouldn't even be formed until 1972

Instead of getting a little sticker after you voted, you should get a QR code that you could somehow enter into your TV and it would no longer display political ads.

Host: Why are you here this morning? Trump rally attendee: In the '70s I was too young to get go to South America for the Jonestown massacre, so this is as close as I'll get. There's nothing like seeing a cult up close. Host: Alright, maybe this is not a Trump supporter

Anybody know if Arsenic and Old Lace is streaming anywhere without paying extra? Like it's on Prime but for an extra 3.99. Is it included on any streaming services? @BrianRSolomon I'll tag you since you recommended it on the podcast.

In fairness, they've had mostly the same staff for 15 years so it was bound to happen.
it remains so so funny that CollegeHumor began as a low-budget, frequently mean sketch channel for edgy 20-somethings, and has become a wildly high-budget, play-it-safe improv platform with the most Care Bear audience imaginable
