Hello there fellow Ghostbusters and Golf Caddies, Late last month we unfortunately lost, a comedic genius, Harold Ramis. This month Birdman and Scotty decided to share their love for someone who influenced them a lot with what they grew up watching. We will be discussing his career as a Writer, Director, and actor and the many works he contributed to film and comedy in general. From his great works such as “Caddyshack” and “Ghostbusters”, to his films we wish we could forget such as “Year One” and “Rover Dangerfield”. So Strap on your proton packs and jump into your golf carts as TWIG remembers Harold Ramis. TWIG would like to thank it's sponsors for making this show and others possible!
