Most people seem to know Mckenna Grace — K lowercase, which seems to throw people off — from different projects. This song specifically comes from Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and it plays over the end credits. Grace starred in the film as Phoebe Spengler, the granddaughter of Egon Spengler from the 1980s Ghostbusters films — and the film was directed by Jason Reitman, son of Ivan Reitman, who directed the 1984 film. I first saw her in the TV series Designated Survivor, which Wikipedia seems to have a hard rule against mentioning on her page, which is a bit odd. She played the daughter of Kiefer Sutherland's character, a low-tier bureaucrat in Washington DC, who ascends to the presidency when literally every other politician above him is killed in a terrorist attack. Like Jack Ryan in the Tom Clancy books (who is put in a similar position), he doesn't want it, and has to rebuild the government somewhat as an outsider. It was a good series, and I'm not sure why they're not allowed to talk about it. I have no such restriction.

Designated Survivor featured one of the best scenes I've seen Kiefer Sutherland in, and I can't say what it is without revealing a major spoiler from the second season. I will say they turned off the microphone — so, if you've seen it, you now know exactly what I'm talking about. I'm probably not the best judge of acting performances, and I haven't seen everything Sutherland's done, but when I think of him as an actor, that scene is first and foremost in my mind. I can only imagine what it sounded like with audio.

As for Mckenna Grace, I'm not one to typically notice the kid on the show. Usually a kid is played for comic relief, or in the case of an action film, a target for the bad guys to go after to make you hate them more. Designated Survivor didn't play either of those cards. She always stood equal to or above the adults in acting, and I noticed. I wasn't following her career, but when I saw the cast list for the new Ghostbusters movie, I thought the name looked familiar, and was pleasantly surprised to see the kid from Designated Survivor had a new role in a movie I wanted to see. The song took me completely by surprise — I had no idea she could sing, as well.

Being a child of the 1980s, Ghostbusters was big. Maybe not quite Star Wars big or Back to the Future big, but, even with only two films (back then; now there are five of them), it held its own, and it was always fun to watch. And it was "my people," too, the nerds. These guys were action stars, but they weren't macho, they were intelligent. They were scientists, doctors, physicists, and whatnot.

The second film was divisive, but I liked it. I loved the scary painting, and the Ghostbusters controlling an animated Statue of Liberty with a Nintendo controller — specifically the "NES Advantage" arcade controller. I owned one. This thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NES_Advantage

The third one was the one everyone hated. I rented it on streaming. Unlike a lot of its most vocal critics, I didn't care that they were making an all-girl Ghostbusters team. I just didn't find the story very engaging, and stopped watching around halfway through. But, unlike the haters, I didn't mind the traditional boys' club letting girls in. I just didn't enjoy the film itself. Ghostbusters: Afterlife took a different approach to a similar problem. They introduced the granddaughter of one of the original Ghostbusters — her last name was not revealed until much later, so we had no idea who she actually was or even how she was connected to the original plot — and established her on her own merits first. Then, as you see from the trailer, she discovers the car in the garage and begins to tug at the knots around her family's history, and learns her role in the adventure as supernatural elements threaten her family and town. Oh, and that kid from Stranger Things was also in it. I think he was the bigger draw due to the similarities between Stranger Things — itself a parody of 1980s movies and culture — and Ghostbusters.

If you haven't seen it, check out the trailer and get hyped: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahZFCF--uRY — and then go watch it, because this one actually lives up to the hype. Oh, and the song at the end is pretty cool, too. (The fifth Ghostbusters film, Frozen Empire, was also good. You can skip the third one if you want, it doesn't really exist within the canon of the other four, it's kind of just its own thing.)
