Who ya gonna call? It has to be Ghostbusters this weekend, as both original movies are on Amazon Prime Video this weekend.

It’s a new month and that means lots of new movies heading to Amazon Prime Video. The big one (well two) for Labor Day weekend is Ghostbusters. Both original movies are now officially on the service and you can watch for free with your current Prime membership.

Don’t have Prime right now? You can get a 30-day free trial, which means you can watch the two Ghostbuster movies for absolutely nothing. How awesome is that?

And yes, we are most certainly talking about the 1984 and 1989 versions of the two movies. You’ll see Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson running around with their plasma guns against the possessed Sigourney Weaver. And, of course, we can’t forget Young Sheldon‘s Annie Potts and the lovable, sarcastic Janine.

For those who haven’t seen the original movies (just where have you been?), they’re about three former parapsychology professors who decide to become ghost removal men. Ernie Hudson’s Winston joins the team, willing to do anything and believe everything as long as there’s a steady paycheck. Ya can’t really blame him, huh?

While Ghostbusters II wasn’t quite as good as the first (very few sequels outshine the original), it’s very better than the remake in 2016. The sequel sees the ghost removal business revived after there’s a resurgence of paranormal activity. It features the original cast, bringing the whole gang back together to tell a new story.

Both movies are available to stream to your heart’s content. I now challenge you not to have the theme song stuck in your head.
