Recently, Sony Pictures presented a new clip from the highly-anticipated film, “Ghostbusters: Afterlife.” While the trailer that was released a while back seemed to elicit strong nostalgic sentiment from the very opinionated (some might call “toxic”) “Ghostbusters” fanbase, the clip featuring mini versions of the Stay Puft marshmallow man didn’t necessarily generate the same sort of excitement.
