Initially I had no interest in watching the new Ghostbusters movies (Afterlife and Frozen Empire) as I was wondering how on earth they were going to work this in with kids.

**contains spoilers**

I watched Frozen Empire (FE) the other week and was immediately counting down the days till Afterlife came onto Netflix just so that I could see more of these characters. I’m a sucker for family dynamics and good family relationships and for me FE ticked all my boxes, especially with Gary Grooberson and his interactions with the family.

My main point of this post is Phoebe Spengler. Since the first moment she was on screen I was glued to it. She’s quite androgynous in appearance to me and I’ve been finding myself wanting more of that represented in media these days.

I like all the characters but Phoebe really stuck with me. Just look at her:

(Don’t get me wrong, I love Trevor too, but Phoebe is just 🤌)

These two movies had a good family dynamic with siblings portrayed in a way that didn’t make me cringe, an adult being very mindful of the developing family relationships he’s building AND a neurodivergent young teen who’s androgynous in appearance? That and I’m 90% certain Phoebe had a crush on Melody in FE.

I neeeeeed to devour movie analysis and fanfictions on these films and Phoebe.

8/10

YES! This is something that I often think about. Modern media doesn’t excite me that much when there’s romance. I’m a sucker for communication and I get so frustrated these days.

My taste in romance has less to do with how romantic the relationship actually is (though that is a bonus) and more to do with how interesting I find the dynamic between the couple. Which is why fluffy vanilla romance usually bores the hell out of me. I want to see how these characters dramatically affect each other and fundamentally change each other and their individual understandings of the world!!! I want to see a beautiful tie-in between the romance and the themes + messages of the story and how it all builds to a climax!!!

Hey, you know that one character? The one played by the tall, long-haired actor? The one who was pre-law in 2005, and well on his way to going to law school and getting a degree until an unexpected family issue reared its head, and he dropped out and chose a different career path? Y’know, he’s got that complicated relationship with his father, a parent-child relationship with his only sibling, and has some strange, destructive abilities that tie in with multiple traumatic experiences with fire?
