    Fleetwood Mac

    Fleetwood Mac

    Fleetwood Mac was formed in London in 1967; the brainchild of guitarist Peter Green and drummer Mick Fleetwood.


    They would record several albums and endure countless personnel changes before guitarist Lindsey Buckingham and singer Stevie Nicks would eventually join in 1974.


    This lineup would lead the band to worldwide success and widespread acclaim, but their creative environment was anything but healthy. Addiction, drama, infidelity, and “rumours” seemed to follow them wherever they went.

    Ghostbusters

    Ghostbusters

    “Who you gonna call?”


    In 1984, a Hollywood studio took a massive risk, spending millions of dollars on an ambitious science-fiction comedy film.


    Ghostbusters was the brainchild of Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, who starred in the film alongside SNL alumni Bill Murray.


    Director Ivan Reitman would bring the script to life, filming iconic scenes throughout New York City, on an extremely tight production schedule.


    The result was unlike any comedy created before or since and is widely considered to be one of the greatest films of all time.


    This week’s episode is all about how “lightning in a bottle” was captured in the 1984 film, Ghostbusters.
