The genderswapped Ghostbusters was fun. I feel like we need the 80s vibe of cynical centerism to make it fun. Plus Dan Akroid is a great writer that was insane before the coke. He thought he was making a documentary then the good SNL writers sanded the rough edges and punched it up. I don't think we could get that today. There are fornsure some writers that have the same flair but the studios wouldn't ever approve it.

They did, didn't they? They made 2 movies, then like 2 decades later they made a mediocre reboot that made all the CHUDs mad because wamens and that was the end of it. Hollywood learned they can't just keep milking the same franchises over and over and they've returned to making original content since then. Or so I would assume, I haven't been to a movie theatre in over a decade.
