PETERBOROUGH, ON—Paul Feig's long-awaited Ghostbusters reboot hits theatres this weekend and, although most seem excited about the new all-female crew, a small contingency are not sold on the chromosome switch.
"Maybe if they called the movie Ghostbustresses, I could get on board," mocks Randy Flynn, his friends around him chuckling. "I just don't understand how a lady is gonna beat up a ghost. My girlfriend runs out of the bathroom every time she sees a spider."
"I hope none of the ghosts tell them they look tired!" Chester Davidson chimes. "That would probably send all of them running home."
It's not terribly uncommon for a misguided man to believe that a woman can't do a "man's job", but this new breed of ghost-bros seem to believe that a woman can't even do a job that is completely fictional, in a movie that's not real, when they are just acting, which is their job because they are actors.
"I'll tell you right now, if I have a ghost-related emergency, I don't wanna wait an hour for my ghostbuster to powder her nose," Brad Barkley says, piling on to the unfortunate bit.
Eager for a less Red Bull-fueled take on the matter, we reiterated these comments to some women buying tickets for the film and gathered their thoughts.
"In a time of need, I'd rather have some women show up than a bunch of children," Tina Mills jabs. "Are these guys even old enough to get into the movie?"
"Those guys must be ghosts themselves," Sarah Kirkman says with a wry smile. "Their views on women are from a lifetime ago."
Last we talked to Dawn Galway, who logically broke down why she thinks the gender shift was a good move:

"I think it makes sense that the ghostbusters would be women," she says, confidently. "I believe we're more spiritual people, generally speaking. If I thought my house was haunted and called my guy friends, they would just laugh at me. But I can think of a few girlfriends who would come running over, ouija board in hand. That's who I'm gonna call! Who are you gonna call?" She laughs.
