In the discussion (5)
Approx. transcript time · 01:25:40Read transcript
- Ghostbusters is argued to be the best film emerging from Saturday Night Live's creative orbit, ahead of Wayne's World, Blues Brothers, Anchorman, and other contenders.
- The Ghostbusters are criticized as an unregulated private police and prison service with no clear right to confine ghosts.
- Dana is accused of warming to Venkman only after he becomes a successful and famous small-business owner.
- A final take proposes swapping Sigourney Weaver and Kathleen Turner between Ghostbusters and Romancing the Stone.
- The swap is defended on the theory that Weaver better fits an initially restrained novelist while Turner would heighten possessed Dana's sexuality.
Recasting Couch
Cameron is proposed to direct; Roberts, Cage, Turner and several mother-role alternatives are suggested.
In the discussion (5)
Approx. transcript time · 01:11:43Read transcript
- James Cameron is proposed with Jamie Lee as the other teacher and increased violence/production value; a joke imagines tall blue students with tails.
- Given the star and director’s status, a more ambitious cast is wanted, with Julia Roberts as the teacher on the run.
- Nick Cage is proposed as Crisp and receives approval.
- Faye Dunaway, Shirley MacLaine or Ellen Burstyn are offered for the mother; Kathleen Turner replacing Cathy Moriarty is the strongest wish.
- Meg Ryan as the partner is questioned because she would need to be the female lead and might imply too much romantic interest; the existing partner’s flirtation and kiss are debated.

- Casting reports include Kim Basinger, Meg Ryan, Geena Davis, Ellen Barkin and Mariel Hemingway declining; Demi Moore competing with Stone; and an uncertain Emma Thompson audition claim.
- Reported alternatives include an early lesbian detective conceived for Kathleen Turner, Tom Berenger as Nick, Milos Forman directing, Linda Fiorentino as Beth and Brooke Shields as Roxy; confidence in the broad casting lists is qualified.
Recasting Couch
Retain ordinary-man lead; Hanks; Russell; Dreyfuss; Caruso; Turner as Gloria
In the discussion (6)
Approx. transcript time · 00:16:16Read transcript
- Wasson’s odd, unstarry presence is questioned, but a major star such as Travolta or Pacino might not work as this humiliated protagonist.
- Kurt Russell might give a better performance but make a worse film; Hanks is considered ideal for the ordinary-man part.
- The casting is defended as a modern Jimmy Stewart ordinary man and struggling low-tier actor; Dreyfuss is considered but his career circumstances complicate it.
- Wasson works best in the first act but may lack force for the later thriller. Caruso is floated, then doubted as someone a partner would cheat on.
- Wasson’s mundane early behavior emphasizes his lack of star aura; Giamatti is imagined as a later-era alternative.
- Kathleen Turner as Gloria could supply both the appearance and voice, though the character’s limited function would probably remain.

Recasting Couch
Stronger villains; Kathleen Turner, Sharon Stone, Michelle Pfeiffer, Margot Kidder, Deborah Winger, or Sean Young as Marion
In the discussion (3)
Approx. transcript time · 01:24:04Read transcript
- Any stronger actor than Paul Freeman is the bronze change and John Lithgow as Toht is the silver.
- Kathleen Turner is the primary Marion recast for greater sexual energy with Ford, though others object that Romancing the Stone later supplies exactly that pairing.
- Sharon Stone, Michelle Pfeiffer, Margot Kidder, Deborah Winger, and Sean Young are alternate Marion ideas; the conversation ultimately leans toward Winger or Young while still defending Allen.
