It began as a Dan Aykroyd script so vast and strange it would have been impossible to film. Luke, Westy, and Matt begin the story of how it became one of the great comedies.In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director Ivan Reitman, the cast, and the second act — including Bill Murray's improvised Venkman, the trio setting up shop, and the script being trimmed from cosmic to comic.Who you gonna call? Part 2, for a start: the crew, the finale, the reception and the legacy await there. Out now.
