No I think he is just into aliens and crystal skulls and shit

I love Dan Aykroyd, but I've just watched an interview with him. He really does believe in this supernatural bullshit. I've always been aware of that, he's an eccentric bloke, but fuck's sake, Dan. People die and that's that. We need to grieve. You're not helping.

Would the Ghostbusters be responsible for dealing with non-ghost related weirdness, like wolfmen, or Frankensteins?

I understand he comes from a family of "Spritists". His grandfather was a real-life ghostbuster. Well, obviously he wasn't, you know what I mean. So it's not just old Dan going kooky in his old age; he's was raised in this kind of of thing.

I've heard his vodka is actually good.

Blues Brothers, Ghostbusters, Trading Places, Grosse Pointe Blank (bingbingbang popcorn!)... I reckon Aykroyd's earned a lifetime pass to shill skull-encased vodka and gas about ghosts and UFOs for as long as he has the breath to do so.

As others have said, he's admirably upfront and unabashed about it. I remember someone (wish I could recall who but it's gone) on a podcast saying they got the chance to interview Aykroyd and he was more than happy to talk about all his old films for 20 mins, then at the appropriate timepoint he politely but firmly switched gears to "okay, we talk about the vodka now."

You can't suck up a wolfman in a vacuum cleaner. Although in the TV series they apparently had to deal with a genie, the Bo(o)gieman, the Sandman, nondescript monsters, and middle-eastern gods. That show is canon, right?

No, but this one is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4-Io8xMHL4

(Genius move: get a gorilla in the cast but name one of the humans "Kong.")

Yeah, if Aykroyd wants to believe in a load of old hooey, then he's perfectly entitled to do so. I was being a tad over-earnest in my previous post - Aykroyd isn't actually harming anyone with his beliefs, he's not exploiting vulnerable people for monetary gain. He just thinks ghosts are an actual thing and, as An tSaoi says, given his family background that's hardly surprising.

I suppose he could've gone the other route and rejected it all entirely, a rebellion against the hokum he was taught to accept as a child, but then we wouldn't have Ghostbusters. And that would never do.

To be fair, I'd also have a lifelong fascination with ghosts if I'd actually been sucked off by one.

Yep, preciously what I was expecting; a Stranger Things rip-off three years too late and a bunch of 'member berries.

Having watched Ghostbusters earlier this week, this looks more interesting to me than the other recent one with Wiig and McKinnon. That had an amazing cast but the script and performances were very average.

This could easily be as good as the original film.
