"the researchers injected repeated doses of citric acid-coated nanoparticles into the bloodstream of mice for 2 days, guided the nanomaterials to the testes with magnets, and then applied an alternating magnetic field to the area for 15 minutes. The nanoparticles heated the testes to a temperature of 104 F, shrinking them and inhibiting spermatogenesis before gradual recovery 30 to 60 days after treatment"

I'm a bit put off by namedropping in film titles though, it tends to be the harbinger of shite (see just about any film that goes out of its way to mention Guillermo del Toro or Wes Craven's involvement).

It's like the Wilhelm scream, but not nearly as charming. Plus it only really 'works' if you're at the cinema or have a subwoofer capable of acting like an actual subwoofer.
It also greatly unsettles me that Harold Ramis would have been pushing 77 years old had he still been alive, which is like proper pre-millenial Grandad age, he was only in Ghostbusters a few years back!
Those things aside, this does look like it has potential - even if there's an overpoweringly strong "If you liked Stranger Things, then you'll love this!" vibe from it.

They cast Chris Hemsworth as an airheaded receptionist, apparently as a big "fuck you" to the infamously misogynistic portrayal of Janine in the original that never took place. Or just because "MEN! BOOOOO!"
Either way, that managed to make it all feel incredibly toxic and passive-aggressive. Which was fantastic, because it acted as a temporary distraction from how utterly unfunny and derivative the whole thing was.
I've seen some really bad films. This is the only film I've turned off with 10 minutes left in ten final act because I was so utterly fatigued with how poor the entire experience was that I just couldn't take it any more.

But I'm pretty confident that the Ghostbusters remake is the worst film I've ever watched. I can live with bad acting, bad screenwriting, bad cinematography, terrible visual effects. But I don't remember ever seeing another film that has been so explicitly hostile towards its male audience while also so utterly misrepresenting it's supposed feministic values.
I think the thing that irked me most, though, is the fact that film only really exists because Harold Ramis died. Sony were already in the process of putting together a Ghostbusters 3. Bill Murray was having none of it, but Sony were pushing on regardless. Then Ramis died and instead of just pulling the plug on the project, they turned it into the fucking disastrous 2016 reboot and still had the hard necks to dedicate the film to Ramis in the closing credits, as if they hadn't been offensive enough already.
The whole thing was just a complete bastardisation.

I honestly didn't notice it until you gave a timestamp. I finished the video before that point on my first viewing, and didn't spot it on the second viewing as I was expecting to see some blatant product placement during the film itself (which I'm sure there will be plenty of, regardless!).
That being said, it's a bit of a bloody weird thing to advertise: "Remember to buy our incredibly difficult to find almost a year after release games console!".
Surely by now just about everybody with any kind of interest in the PS5 is well aware that it exists. Particularly the target market for this particular film, who I assume will be sad old middle aged twats like myself desperately chasing after the nostalgia of youth, and these 80's revival obsessed Zillennials, who's parents were barely even born when the first film was released.
Still, they know far more about this advertising nonsense than I ever will. So there's probably some brilliant reasoning behind it.
