Film Review - Cleanin' Up the Town: Remembering Ghostbusters
February 26, 2020
Certainly the topic of “Ghostbusters” and its unusual production history has been covered quite a bit through featurettes, magazine articles, and books, which have all delved into the minutiae of the creative labor required to manufacture one of the biggest film releases of 1984, and one of the most beloved movies of all time. Directors Anthony and Claire Bueno appear to recognize such an informational challenge, making very careful moves to help their documentary, “Cleanin’ Up the Town: Remembering Ghostbusters,” become something special for fans who’ve been handed almost everything over the last 36 years.
