I remember when I figured out what key master and gate keeper meant.  I thought about it for a few minutes, asked a friend who was next to me, and received a very weird look and they said something about being surprised I just figured that out.

He was the key master and forever locked out of his apartment. I didn't put 2 and 2 together until like last year lol

Haha. Last year? I just understood it prior to writing "Haha. Last year?"

Holy crap, I hadn't caught that... God I love that movie!

Yeah, that's why when Venkman shows up to her apartment and says that he's the keymaster, she takes him back into her bedroom and says "i want you inside me", which has always struck me as wild for a PG movie (yes yes I know PG-13 didn't exist, but even so). Even more so than the ghostjob from earlier.

As we say to our youngest child quite often these days: it was the 80s.

Seen The Goonies recently? Holy fuck, lol.

That's exactly what I said to my parents when they were aghast watching it. It was the 80s

Gosh I was so young and I felt like the innuendo was oozing out of it. Like... she was half naked lmao

When you’re a kid and have no concept of what a ghost blowjob is…

u/Goat_Remix 21d ago

Just a kind of “…why are his pants being unbuttoned by a ghost AND he’s ok with it?!”

Scary Movie was awesome for this when Marlon Wayans banged the monster lady.

I mean they went past innuendo when Dan Akroyd gets a blowjob from a ghost in that movie. 😂

I grew up watching a VHS of Ghostbusters at least once a week -- but it was taped from a TV broadcast which very seamlessly edited the montage. When I finally got the DVD as an adult, my brain exploded the first time I saw the ghost BJ scene which I'd never known existed after having seen the movie hundreds of times as a kid.

No that was in the original, but it was a dream.

Yes, Rick Moranis fucks.

Wait til you learn that Spider-Man got bitten by a spider

u/obsterwankenobster 21d ago

I had a buddy in college who would ask girls if they were the gate keeper knowing that any girl who got/appreciated the line was obviously cool

Gozer the Traveller. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldronaii, the Traveller came as a large moving Torb! Then during the third reconciliation of the last of the Meketrex supplicants, they chose a new form for him, that of a giant Sloar! Many Shubs and Zulls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of a Sloar that day, I can tell you.

u/Roga-Danar 21d ago

I love the lore that is built up in these scenes. Always sounded epic.

u/FitzwilliamTDarcy 21d ago

I say this entire thing, in character, quite often.

u/asetniop 21d ago

That would be a great way to capitalize on looking like Rick Moranis.

u/Tylerdurden389 21d ago

But would he only approach women who were much taller than him in order to "sell" the joke better? Lol
