Charlie HarshHost
I'm your host Charlie Harosh, and if you've ever found yourself pausing a movie just to study a proton pack, zooming into behind-the-scenes photos, you know, the ones that give you the tiny details, or spending way too much time deciding whether a piece of gear is close enough, then you're in the right place.
If you've ever spent time on, you know, the internet, and maybe in the Ghostbusters community specifically, chances are that you've seen his videos, live streams, convention coverage or, you know, maybe even listened to his podcast or watched it.
What I appreciate about Archer is that he looks at this hobby from every angle.
We're talking screen accuracy, flight suits, weathering, proton packs, electronics, Ghostbusters Night Shift, and why building these props is about a lot more than just recreating what we saw on screen.
It's about learning new skills, sharing ideas, and keeping this hobby moving forward.
So grab your soldering iron, your weathering kit, or whatever project you're working on because we've got a lot to cover.
