Ghostbusters Frozen Empire is the fifth movie in the franchise that released in theaters earlier this year.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is directed by Gil Kenen, known for Monster House, who co-wrote the movie with Jason Reitman, who directed the previous film, Ghostbusters: Afterlife. The franchise’s new installment has divided critics and audiences, as audience reception has been much more postive. Logan Kim, who portrays Hershel Rhee in The Walking Dead: Dead City, reprises his role as Podcast in this film.
Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, Celeste O’Connor, and Logan Kim return in Frozen Empire as they all starred in Afterlife in 2021. They are joined by Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts, and William Atherton, all veterans of the original Ghostbusters film released in 1984. Kumail Nanjiani, Patton Oswalt, James Acaster, and Emily Alyn Lind have all joined the cast in this movie.
Kevin Mangold and Ian Whyte are the puppeteers for Slimer, an original ghost from the first movie, who returns in this story, and Garraka. The Mini-Puffs, tiny versions of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from the original film, are voiced by Shelby Young and Ryan Bartley.
The film is set years after the events in Afterlife with the Spengler family returning to the roots of the Ghostbusters in New York City’s iconic firehouse. This film is quite the walk down memory lane for fans of the original as the family joins forces with the OG Ghostbusters, who have been working on a top-secret research lab that allows them to up the busting of ghosts to the next level. When an ancient artifact is discovered, an army of ghosts are unleashed on the city setting a death chill over the city. Both old and new busters must work together to prevent a second ice age from consuming the earth.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is now streaming on Netflix. Take a look at the trailer below.
Logan Kim – Dead City season 2
The second season of The Walking Dead: Dead City recently wrapped filming, which was moved from New Jersey to Massachusetts for the upcoming season. The series will be featured in a panel at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC), where fans hope to get a sneak peek at season 2.
Kim portrays the older version of Hershel Rhee, son of Maggie (Lauren Cohen) and Glenn (Steven Yeun), who was born after his father was brutally murdered by Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). Dead City is set some years after the main series’ final episode, which aired in 2022, and is the first direct spinoff of The Walking Dead. The story significantly expands TWDU by leaving the main series’s wooded setting and is set on the post-apocalyptic island of Manhattan.
In season 1, Hershel was kidnapped by The Croat (Željko Ivanek), a former member of Negan’s saviors who now reigns terror over parts of Manhattan. He abducted Hershel and makes a deal with Maggie to trade her son for Negan. As the season concluded, Hershel was released and was at odds with his mother because of her obsession with exacting revenge on Negan.
The actor teased, in an interview with Screen Rant, that his character will experience a darker story.
“Oh, yes. I’m going to be filming that very soon, and I will say Hershel has a lot more to do now that he’s not kidnapped. And it’s very exciting, and I can’t wait to play such a dark character.”
