Official Trailer Debuts for Jason Reitman’s ‘Saturday Night’
What a ride it has been for Jason Reitman‘s latest film. A few weeks ago, it was still known as SNL 1975 and few beyond our own Joey were even considering it for release this year, let alone awards contention.

For months now, Joey has been an outlier in terms of his Oscar predictions, having Jason Reitman‘s SNL 1975 in his Best Picture lineup.

Film Review: ‘Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’ is Imperfect Evidence That Busting Still Makes Me Feel Good
I’m an easy mark for a Ghostbusters movie. The first film is damn near perfect, the sequel is definitely fun, and I was a big fan of Ghostbusters: Afterlife (as you can see here).

Ranking the Films of Jason Reitman
Jason Reitman, at his best, is one of my favorite filmmakers. The writer/director burst on to the scene with Thank You for Smoking before quickly becoming an A-list storyteller.

There is always a ton of energy in the air at New York Comic Con, but it was exceptionally flowing at the panel for Ghostbusters: Afterlife.

Film Review: ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ is a Supremely Entertaining Mix of Old and New
A third Ghostbusters film in the original franchise never seemed like it would happen. Fits and starts over the years amounted to nothing, and when the reboot Ghostbusters was made (which I, for the record, quite like), it only seemed further off in the distance.
