When the film premiered in the UK on Monday to pretty decent reviews— a certified fresh 75 percent on Rotten Tomatoes—a Ghostbusters Reddit thread appeared, claiming they needed to undermine the film’s…

Last year Ardo sat down with Gwenda Bond to discuss her new project – a Young Adult novel starring superstar reporter Lois Lane.
