Cleaning’ Up the Town Ghostbusters Documentary Review
Watching the documentary not only do you receive cast insights but you’re watching never before seen footage. Behind the scenes making of footage and you can clearly see the hard work and labour of love that this documentary has become for those involved.
With so many different opinions and points of view it’s incredible to see the scale of the movie and how it all came together and delivered.
A movie that to this very day is still relevant, is still pushing merch and will forever be a timeless classic.
Your run of the mill documentary has the cast saying things you already know. Information you already knew about production so on and so forth.
Cleanin’ Up The Town gives you spades of new information.
A documentary that is actually teaching you things you never knew is a rare thing nowadays especially when it comes to movie documentaries.
Never before told stories and background info drip fed to my eager fan hungry brain.
The documentary doesn’t stick to the core cast and Directors that’s what I love about it.
We go deeper within the layers to the people who (dare I say it) are more important in getting the movie made.
The cast come in at the end put in a performance and off they go.
But for others it’s months and even years of hard work to get it to the point where the director yells ACTION!
Being 12 years in the making it was so sad yet so wonderful to see an interview with the late Harold Ramis and also with David Margulies.
Both no longer with us but immortalised in this documentary and on the big screen for life.
Overall
Brother and Sister Anthony and Claire Bueno have created the ultimate documentary for the ultimate movie.
The perfect match, the perfect viewing experience and you’re not going to get another documentary better.
Cleanin’ Up the Town: Remembering Ghostbusters will be available on VOD from January 27th, 2020. ADVD and Blu Ray release date hasn’t yet been announced.
