Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire	comment	All spoilers for Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II, and Ghostbusters: Afterlife will be left unmarked.Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is a 2024 sci-fi/horror/comedy film, the fourth film in the main Ghostbusters film continuity, and the sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife. It is once more written by Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan (Monster House), with Kenan taking Reitmanâ€™s place as director. It stars Mckenna Grace, Finn Wolfhard, Carrie Coon, Paul Rudd, Celeste O'Connor, Logan Kim, Kumail Nanjiani, Patton Oswalt, Emily Alyn Lind, James Acaster, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts, William Atherton, and Bill Murray. It is notably the first film in the franchise to not involve original director/producer Ivan Reitman in any capacity, following his passing in 2022.Since the events of Afterlife, Gary, Callie, Trevor and Phoebe have moved into the New York Firehouse and become the official Ghostbusters team, while Winston has opened the Paranormal Research Centre to study the ghosts they bust, and Ray is using his bookstore as a hub for collecting occult texts and finding haunted objects. When one such object turns out to be the ancient cage for an incredibly powerful, malevolent spirit, it will take both generations of Ghostbusters to prevent New York from being overrun by armies of ghosts and plunged into a new ice age.Previews: Teaser, North American Trailer, International Trailer

While Ray wants to keep suiting up and busting ghosts, he's older and slower, so Winston has instead moved him into an advisory and research role based out of Ray's Occult Bookshop. Obviously, it doesn't stick.

More, this time it's only the surviving members of the original team (as Egon's spirit has passed on) and with Janine now suiting up.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire / int_21e5b9c7	comment	Failed a Spot Check: Peck's fatal mistake in the final scene. He's intent on using the citywide damage from the Garraka Crisis to finally shut down the Ghostbusters and arrest them all. He's so fixated on this goal that it doesn't immediately register with him that New Yorkers and the Press are overwhelmingly rallying in favor of the Ghostbusters. By the time Peck finally realizes public opinion's not on his side and tries to back off, it's too late (as Winston is able to twist Peck's words of condemnation into words of political endorsement and support). Also, after Garraka killed the tobacconist (thinking it was the latest Fire Master since the store shares its name with the title), he entered Nadeem's grandmother's hidden room to reclaim his horns. While there, he passed a picture of Nadeem and his grandmother, not piecing together that's what the latest Fire Masters look like.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: Some attention is given to the firepoles used in the Firehouse. A segment is melted down and laced in Phoebe's proton pack since the ancient mystics used brass to contain spirits like Garraka. Attention is called to Melody's matchbook early on. She strikes the match that lets Nadeem bombard Garraka with fire when his lighter runs out. As in the first film, attention is again paid to how the containment unit works. And just like in the first film, the containment unit gets breached. This time, however, its being empty allows it to be repurposed as a giant sized Trap. The Paranormal Research Center has developed a device to extract spirits from haunted objects. Phoebe later uses it to briefly become a ghost by pulling her own spirit from her body.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: Photos from Empire Magazine show the Ghost Traps are now moored on the side of the Proton Packs rather than hanging from the utility belts (much like they were in The Real Ghostbusters). The same photos also show Janine has suited up as a Ghostbuster, which likewise happened in the series and toyline. Slimer is now living at (and haunting) the Firehouse, much like his animated counterpart — although, granted, he had by implication already moved in during Ghostbusters II (though this was admittedly more evident and implied in the deleted Louis v. Slimer subplot). The icicles bursting from the ground are reminiscent of the pop-up gravestones from Ghostbusters: The Video Game's cemetery sequence. Ecto-1 now has a roof-mounted drone Ghost Trap. Ghostbusters: The Video Game also featured a Ghost Trap on the roof of Ecto-1, albeit one permanently attached to the car. Trevor's first clue that Slimer is hiding out in the firehouse attic is when he notices slime dripping from the ceiling above his bed. The Kenner Firehouse toy included a grated section of the roof and upper floor, which allowed slime to be poured over action figures placed underneath. The Trevor v. Slimer subplot also evokes the similar deleted subplot from Ghostbusters II when Louis Tully likewise kept trying and failing to capture Slimer. Ironically, this is NOT the first time the ghostbusters had to fight things shaped like lions. Granted the first case were topiaries but the point still stands.

After all the political headaches the original team ran into during the first two films, Winston's able to use the lessons of those experiences (and presumably his subsequent corporate PR experience) to deftly outmaneuver Peck following the climax. He uses the court of public opinion to exploit Peck's political weakness and protect the team from any further political persecution.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Downplayed, but Afterlife showed that while Egon was tinkering with the equipment to take advantage of new post-Ghostbusters II technologies or toys (ex. the RAV Trap), he lacked the financial means to incorporate extensive upgrades. However, with the now-wealthy Winston funding the reborn team, as well as the recovery of everything Egon took with him, the trailers shows the classic Ghostbusting arsenal now being ungraded with modern advances. The RAV Trap has been upgraded into a flying drone, and the Ghostbusters now have an advanced research lab to better study the ghosts they trap. After shoving ghosts into the Firehouse's Containment Unit for forty years, the Ghostbusters are here confronted with the danger of their Storage Facility getting full and losing stability (Janine observes that nobody was thinking this far ahead back in the eighties). With the original team having gone out of business by the early 1990s, the Firehouse was for all intents abandoned. Unsurprisingly, vagrants easily broke in and stripped the building of anything valuable like copper wiring (thus accounting for its dilapidated state by the time Winston brought the Ecto-1 home in the Afterlife post-credits Stinger). This briefly comes back to haunt everyone when Phoebe has her Copper Weakness idea, only for Janine to inform her of the theft thus forcing them to melt down one of the Firehouse's brass poles as an alternative. Perhaps unsurprisingly, one of these vagrants decided to move on in and essentially claimed squatter's rights. That vagrant, of course and perhaps unsurprisingly, is Slimer (or alternately he stuck around after the events of Ghostbusters II. When Peck realizes that Phoebe is a minor and also isn't even getting paid, he threatens to have the Ghostbusters arrested on charges of child endangerment and violation of child labor laws. As a consequence, Phoebe is stood down from the team. Downplayed, but the posters outside the New York Library reveal Dana has resumed her Cellist career in the interim since Ghostbusters II. The first sequel, after all, had established Dana's sabbatical was only so she could take care of the then-infant Oscar. With Oscar having long since grown up, obviously Dana's resumed her career. Speaking of the Library, after the debacle of the original team's investigation in the first film, Ray has been banned by the Library Administrator and isn't allowed within 50 feet of the building. Presumably this ban also extends to Peter (and to Egon while he was still alive).

Seeing an opportunity, Winston then twists Peck's words of condemnation into an official public endorsement and support from the Mayor's Office. To his dismay, Peck quickly realizes he's now trapped in a no-win situation. If Peck tries to arrest the Ghostbusters and shut them down now, the ensuing public backlash against his Administration will be catastrophic; it could very well end up costing him the Mayoralty. But if Peck doesn't arrest the Ghostbusters, then the continued future and political fortunes of his Mayoralty from hereon out will force him to publicly support and champion the very people he hates and despises more than anyone else in the world. Peck ultimately and grudgingly chooses Option #2.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire / int_485eb589	comment	Sealed Evil in a Can: Garraka is trapped in an ancient brass orb and is using what few powers he can exert to try and escape. The orb itself was sealed in a specially built room whose brass walls could suppress Garraka's powers even further, most notably by muffling his voice and ability to command ghosts. The containment unit in the Firehouse has been filling up with so many captured ghosts since the events of the first film, it's reaching maximum capacity and is fit to bursting. While Winston managed to have a new, state-of-the-art containment unit at his new research center up and running, transferring all of the ghosts from the old unit to the new could take years. When Garraka regains his horns (and thus the rest of his strength), he is able to breach the old unit remotely, swarming New York with spectral phenomena. Ironically, they manage to imprison him in the now-empty containment unit.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire / int_4a0ec526	comment	Harmless Freezing: Being frozen by Garraka's power is only shown to be harmful when the victim is either shattered or only partially frozen. Lars gets his hand frozen over by the orb containing him and is shown for the next few scenes with his arm in a sling and hand wrapped up, though he appears fine later. The entire team sans Nadeem gets frozen at the climax, but once Nadeem fights back with his fire powers, their freezing is undone and they're immediately ready to keep fighting back. Though considering he was about to rip a frozen Phoebe spirit out of her body, one can certainly read it as him making sure that his victims can't escape him via their soul leaving for the other side.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire / int_4a364781	comment	Hidden Purpose Test: Zigzagged when Peter interviews Nadeem with the help of the colander device. At first, Peter is simply working through a standard protocol of questions (albeit some rather bizarre ones) and using the device to analyze Nadeem for possession. When Peter notices the Bunsen burner in the lab seems to be reacting to Nadeem's agitation, however, he begins throwing pens at Nadeem to test his theory.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire / int_4a3e547f	comment	Leaning on the Fourth Wall: At one point, Janine says that the Ghostbusters didn't buy back the firehouse "simply for nostalgia" - this could be read as a reference to how a lot of the more negative reviews of Afterlife criticised it for being overeliant on call-backs to the original film, also making it a case of Take That, Critics!. Near the end of the film, one random New Yorker calls Peck "dickless", something that Peck's actor William Atherton says has happened to him many times since the first movie. News footage chronicling the Ghostbusters' popularity back in the Eighties includes real toy commercials from the period, as well as clips from the Ray Parker Jr. music video.

Since the ancient Fire Masters used copper and brass to contain Garraka thousands of years ago, Phoebe reasons that lacing the cyclotron in the proton packs with copper might give them a new quality that can actually harm them. Janine informs her that, unfortunately, the copper had been stripped from the building in the 90s by vagrants, so Phoebe decides to employ brass from one of the (lesser used?) fireman poles instead.

If you're paying close attention, you'll notice there are large patches in the central floor and ceiling (and their coloring doesn't match the rest of the Firehouse design). These patches, of course, correspond with the location of the basement and are the repairs made after the damage caused by the exploding Containment Unit in the original film. One of the Hot Beverage Thermal Mugs from Ghostbusters II can be seen on a shelf in the Firehouse Kitchen.

Meanwhile, it takes Ray, Winston, Peter, and Janine to pull down the containment unit's lever, allowing it to trap Garraka. This underscores both the theme that no one can go it alone, it takes everyone working together to win, and the fact both teams are True Companions and a Family of Choice (literally, in the case of the Spenglers and Gary).

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire / int_85b20dee	type	Sequel Non-Entity
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire / int_85b20dee	comment	Sequel Non-Entity: Despite her cameo in Afterlife, Dana Barrett doesn't return for this installment. According to Director Gil Kenan, they didn't approach Sigourney Weaver as they felt there was no story for Dana in Frozen Empire's narrative (on top of the film already having more than enough characters). This makes Frozen Empire (as of its release) the only one of the core four films where Dana doesn't appear (and likewise the only film of the original cinematic canon and the 2016 reboot where Weaver doesn't appear). That being said, Dana is still subtly acknowledged during the New York Library sequence (vis-Ã -vis posters advertising an upcoming concert performance by Cellist Dana Barrett). Similarly, Louis Tully's status as this during Afterlife continues here. In that same interview, Kenan stated they had no plans to use Louis at all (and even if they had, Rick Moranis has previously declined to come out of retirement and return to the franchise for the 2016 reboot or Afterlife). Similarly, with Walter Peck now the current Mayor of NYC, Lenny Clotch's post-Ghostbusters II fate is left unrevealed and unmentioned (something that was previously unnecessary to address in Afterlife given the film left NYC and took place in the American Southwest). Since Lenny was pursuing a run as New York's Governor during the first sequel, it's possible he was able to ride the successful resolution of the Vigo Crisis to a higher office. Alternately, the electoral run failed and he left politics or remained NYC's Mayor until his term of office expired. Regardless, the real life reason for Lenny's absence, of course, is because his actor David Margulies died in 2016. It's unknown if in-universe Lenny is still alive or if he has passed away since his last appearance.

The orb itself was sealed in a specially built room whose brass walls could suppress Garraka's powers even further, most notably by muffling his voice and ability to command ghosts.

However, he's ultimately left humiliated and forced to back down after they defeat the Big Bad and everyone in New York praises the Ghostbusters as heroes. Likewise, he's also forced to leave Phoebe alone after she was praised as a hero by the masses. Adding insult to injury, Winston outsmarts him by twisting Peck's sarcastic first words as an endorsement for the Ghostbusters in front of the news reporters, and Peck realizes he can't take those words back without looking really bad in the press, meaning that he'll be remembered as the Ghostbusters' biggest supporter in history instead of the man who finally brought them down. Which Peck really hates. 40 years of busting ultimately amounts to nothing once Garraka breaks the Containment Unit open. Every single ghost ever caught by both generations of Ghostbusters are now loose again and the new team now has to start all over from scratch (beginning with Slimer and the Sewer Dragon).

Downplayed, but both Nadeem and Ray during the final battle. Nadeem's lighter runs dry (as he'd used up all the fluid practicing), depriving him of an ignition for his abilities and leaving the team at Garraka's mercy. If this were the old days, Ray (a prolific smoker during the original films), could easily toss Nadeem his own lighter and they'd be back in business. Unfortunately, as Ray laments, he quit smoking after Ghostbusters II (and thus hasn't carried a lighter on his person for the better part of 30 years). Oops. When Peck turns up at the firehouse after the climax, it's made very clear that his intention is to use the damage caused to the city by Garraka as an excuse to shut the Ghostbusters down. However, he quickly realizes that this move is going to backfire due to the general public's gratitude towards the Ghostbusters saving the world again and stops short of doing so, and seeing an opportunity, Winston then twists Peck's words of condemnation into an official public endorsement and support from the Mayor's Office.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire / int_da1e24b7	comment	Recovered Addict: Downplayed example with Ray. Given how Ray was a prolific smoker in the classic films (more so the first one before Executive Meddling kicked in with Ghostbusters II), it's revealed that Ray finally quit smoking for good in the 1990s. Peter: "Proud of you then, proud of you now." Doubles as Heartwarming.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire / int_e031b7ef	comment	Slave to PR: This is how Winston outmaneuvers Peck after the climax when he tries to arrest them all. Winston deftly twists Peck's sarcasm and condemnation of the team into a confident endorsement in full view of the New York press and public. With New Yorkers overwhelmingly supporting the team thanks to the resolution of the Death Chill Crisis, Peck's political instincts quickly kick in. To his dismay, Peck realizes he has to play along and continue publicly supporting the team from hereon out, or risk an overwhelming public backlash that could tank his Mayoralty.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire / int_e19e68	comment	Cruel Mercy: At the end of the film, Winston decides to give Mayor Peck cover when his condemning statement of the Ghostbusters was going against the positive feedback from the masses and the press, stating that Peck was not only congratulating the Ghostbusters but was 100% supporting them from the start. While Mayor Peck is certainly saved from press scrutiny and plummeting approval ratings, he has to live with the fact that his reputation is now tied to the success and popularity of the Ghostbusters. He can no longer go after them.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire / int_e43c66bd	comment	Art Evolution: Slimer and the Library Ghost. While their designs from the original film have been preserved (and in the case of Slimer's design, restored after the Real Ghostbusters-influenced redesign from the second film), their character models have also obviously been recreated and updated for high-definition and the digital era. Following its dilapidated state during Afterlife, the Ecto-1 has not only been refurbished, but had its classic design tweaked for this film. The updates are mostly cosmetic (ex. red stripes on the front hood), but with new technological gear mounted on the roof (specifically the flying Trap Drone).

It seems that Nadeem's grandmother did nothing to inform her grandson (or anyone else) that she was keeping the potential world-ending orb in her pantry cabinet. However, Ray also suggests the possibility that she tried to tell him and he just wasn't paying attention, which Nadeem admits was just as likely.

She uses the same matchbook that killed her family to save Phoebe's family (and the world); reversing her greatest mistake and finally forgiving herself.

The Distant Prologue suggests that the Firehouse is a bit of a lightning rod for paranormal situations, as a group of firemen in 1904 from the very same Firehouse witness a paranormal event at the beginning of the film.

He wastes no time dressing down the Spenglers and Grooberson (the former especially as they're Egon's descendants) after the Sewer Dragon incident and spends the rest of the film trying to shut the team down again. However, he fails at the end.
