Get ready to fire up your neutronizers and stretch those vocal cords... the Fate, Luck & Karma crew is back in the studio, and we are steering the Ecto-1 down some truly unpredictable roads for our latest episode!

With annual Ghostbusters Day just around the corner - marking the anniversary of the original 1984 masterpiece - Dean, Jay, and Theo are breaking down what the future holds for our favourite paranormal investigators, before entirely losing the plot in the best way possible.

Here is what we are busting into this week:

• The Ghostbusters Day Forecast: We map out the annual celebration and speculate on what major announcements, trailers, or surprises we might see dropping for the franchise this year.
• The Ultimate Merch Manifestation: From bizarre crossovers like the Monster High Ghostbuster Zuul / Gozer figure to the ultimate toy aisle showdown - we debate whether Hasbro or Mattel is the right company to steer Ghostbusters merchandise into the future.
• The Disclosure Day Popcorn Bucket: Via a very unexpected turn of events, we dive into the (literally) wild, wonderful world of the latest cinema merch. Does it top our previous bucket battles, or is it completely out of this world?
• A Thrilling Conclusion: Via an even less expected turn of events, we close out the episode with Jay and Theo doing their absolute best Michael Jackson impressions. No, really. That actually happens.

Whether you are here for the high-end collectibles, the corporate toy politics, or just to hear two grown men try to hit a "Hee-Hee," join us for an episode that proves sometimes the paranormal is nothing compared to what happens when we leave the mics running.

Grab your proton packs and your trading binders... the Fate, Luck & Karma crew is back in the studio, and we are dialling things right back to the roots of the podcast and the franchise that started it all: Ghostbusters!

In this episode, Dean, Jay, and Theo are donning their flight suits again for an exclusive deep-dive interview with a certified Ghostbusters fan community legend. We’re trading general geekery for total protonic reversal as we look at how a single piece of fan-made Ghostbusters merchandise completely won the hearts of GB fans worldwide.

Here is what we’re breaking down in this packed episode:

• The Green Haired Ghostbuster: We sit down with the man himself, Luke Ellis! Luke takes us behind the scenes of his iconic community persona and shares the ultimate origin story behind his famous Ghostbuster trading cards idea.
• The Global Trading Card Phenomenon: How does a passion project turn into a worldwide collectible? Luke tracks the journey of how these custom cards went global - literally crossing borders, hitting mailboxes worldwide, and uniting the international Ghostbusters fanbase.
• Busting Across Borders: Following our recent milestone of reaching listeners in 103 countries, we look at why the Ghostbusters fan community remains one of the most connected, passionate, and creative fandoms on Earth.

Whether you're a hardcore collector of Ghostbusters prop replicas and memorabilia, or just love a phenomenal geeky success story, join us for an episode that proves sometimes fate, luck, some karma and a little bit of green hair are all you need to make Ghostbusters history.

Pop the corn and prep the proton packs... the Fate, Luck & Karma crew is back in the studio and returning to our geeky roots!

After our brush with the paranormal at Jamaica Inn, Dean, Jay, and Theo are diving headfirst back into the world of movies, merch, and intergalactic bickering. We’re trading ghost stories for cinema snacks and sci-fi obsession as we celebrate a massive milestone for the show.

In this episode, we’re breaking down:

• The Battle of the Buckets: From space helmets, swords and all points in between, we look at the weird, wonderful, and slightly unhinged world of movie-themed popcorn buckets.
• Masters of the Universe: We react to the new trailer. Is it the power of Grayskull we’ve been waiting for, or are we feeling more like Skeletor on a bad day?
• A Space Odyssey (with Groceries): We’ve fallen in love with Project Hail Mary, but there’s a catch. We can’t stop hearing Ryan Gosling’s ship AI as the "Unexpected Item in the Bagging Area" voice from a UK supermarket. Science is hard when you’re waiting for a staff member to verify your age.
• The Long Wait for the Busting: A bit of bad news for the Ghostbusters fans—we discuss the second delay hitting the Hasbro Plasma Series 1984 Proton Pack.
• The Global Takeover: We take a moment to celebrate a truly humbling achievement - reaching listeners in 103 countries worldwide!

Whether you're here for the high-tech gadgets or the high-street checkout voices, join us for a packed episode that proves reality is often weirder than fiction.
