EP06 - Ghostbusters 1984

Author: Dylan Davis October 19, 2016 Duration: 1:46:37
This month we will be digging deep into Ghostbusters 1984. In fact, most of the time I will be paraphrasing or directly quoting Adam Bertocci and his online essay Overthinking Ghostbusters posted on his website www.runleiarun.com. I found that I had very little to add to Bertocci’s fine analysis and asked him very kindly if I could use some of it for this podcast. To Adam, I say a heartfelt thank you. To you I ask that you think hard about what that Twinkie and the enormous Stay-Puft Marshmellow Man really means in 1980’s Reagan America. The Super 70 Podcast is available on iTunes, SoundCloud, and my website at www.thatdylandavis.com. All music on The Super 70 Podcast is provided by Rozalind MacPhail whom you can also find on SoundCloud.

Dylan Davis hosts The Super 70 Podcast, a unique audio experience built for film lovers. Each episode is designed as a scene-by-scene commentary track meant to be played in sync with a specific movie, offering deep-dive analysis, behind-the-scenes trivia, and thoughtful observations you might miss on a solo viewing. Of course, you can also just enjoy the conversation on its own during a commute or while doing chores-the insights stand alone. Dylan brings the perspective of a creator himself, having written works like "FLYNN!", "Dating Virginia," "Buffalo Seine," and "Threshold." This background as a writer and a dedicated consumer of culture informs the discussions, which are less about simple review and more about engaging with film as a vital, layered art form. Tune in to this podcast for a guided tour through the details of cinema, where the focus is on understanding the craft and the choices that shape the stories on screen. It’s like having a well-informed friend in the room, pointing out the clever edits, the symbolic set design, or the narrative turns that define a film’s impact. The goal is to enrich your viewing experience and foster a deeper appreciation for the movies, one scene at a time.
