For this episode we’re crossing the streams between cinema and soundtracks to bust open the music behind the 1984 classic, Ghostbusters. And joining me to discuss the synth-haunted grooves of Ray Parker Jr.’s chart-topping theme to the delightfully eerie cues by Elmer Bernstein, is returning guest Gillian McShane and together we’ll be trapping every note, riff, and ghostly groove in our audio containment unit. So grab your proton packs, keep your reverb set to “supernatural,” and remember: when the bassline goes bump in the night… we’re the ones you’re gonna call!
