Picking Away At What Makes Ghostbusters Frozen Empire’s World Building Right and A Fan Theory for Part Three

Ghostbusters Frozen EmpireSpoiler Alert

Ghostbusters Frozen Empire is a satisfying continuation of Phoebe Spengler’s (Mckenna Grace) coming of age tale. Although she’s ready to continue the family legacy after learning about her grandfather’s exploits, not everyone agrees.

The study cardboard construction can take some bruising, but I’ll be trying to keep mine as prestine (still with the plastic sleeve) as possible and dusting it more often than usual. The two bonus discs is the reason why long time fans are buying this edition over the single. I’m still going through them all (as time allows) and find reading the recreation of Don Shay’s Making Ghostbusters book from 1985 the big bonus.
