00:00 Congratulations on this new film. In the trailer we see Janine in uniform. So how did that feel?
00:07 Pretty good. Although you know, the boys never complained about it, but that flight suit is not all that flattering.
00:14 But I sure was... Oh aren't they cute? I sure was happy to put it on after 40 years and join the boys.
00:24 Listen, you were rocking it. So I think the suit looks good on you.
00:28 Thank you.
00:30 I also wanted to say the ending of the last movie really got me with all four Ghostbusters reunited.
00:36 What was it like watching that back on the big screen and seeing Harold reunited with all the boys?
00:41 Well I think the two worlds of the newbies and the OGs... It's so sweet, you know?
00:47 And that we're back in New York and back in the firehouse. I think that it's a very New York-centric kind of movie.
00:56 And it's like everything's Ghostbusters here in the city right now.
01:02 I know being on set must have felt like one big nostalgic experience, but was there any scene or day that made you particularly nostalgic or emotional about being back?
01:14 Oh you know, it would just come in waves. Sort of like being on a beach, you know?
01:22 And just enjoying the ocean-ness of it, you know? Because it's big, this thing. It's big.
01:28 And I wanted to finally ask, this film felt like the scariest one yet. How do you think this one raises the stakes from Afterlife?
01:36 Well, the new bad guy's pretty bad. I only saw it with a small, like, you know, 20 people in a small room.
01:46 I'm really looking forward to seeing it in the theater with a packed house, because then we'll know what's funny. And scary.
