After Ghostbusters: Afterlife, the upcoming Ghostbusters sequel, was delayed until March 2021 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, there is still one thing to keep fans going in the meantime.

A documentary about the iconic 1984 comedy, Cleanin' Up the Town: Remembering Ghostbusters, is set to premiere next week.

The documentary features over 40 interviews with the stars of the film as well as the creators working behind the scenes who helped make the world.

"Over 10 years in the making, the documentary also chronicles the achievements made by the visual effects crew in creating the ghosts during the pre-digital age when special effects were still evolving," reads a statement.

"We truly hope to enthral and enlighten audiences, fans and filmmakers alike, as we reveal the wonderful personalities, incomparable talent, and craftsmanship that went into making a film that captured the hearts of generations; Ghostbusters."

With the sequel on the horizon (a really faraway horizon), this isn't the only time in which the original cast have been brought together to discuss the film.

Earlier this week, Frozen star Josh Gad shared a preview of the latest episode of his series Reunited Apart on YouTube and it features some of the cast of the classic comedy.

He gathered the film's director Ivan Reitman, and actors Bill Murray (Peter Venkman), Dan Aykroyd (Ray Stantz), Ernie Hudson (Winston Zeddemore), Sigourney Weaver (Dana Barrett) and Annie Potts (Janine Melnitz) for a social distancing catch-up.

Cleanin' Up the Town: Remembering Ghostbusters will air on Crackle on June 18.

Amy Kremer helped organize the pro-Trump Jan. 6 rally. Now she is seeking a Georgia seat on the RNC
ATLANTA (AP) — Amy Kremer stood near the White House on Jan. 6, 2021, and told thousands of Donald Trump’s supporters that the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent. “Hello, deplorables,” she said, embracing a label Hillary Clinton once lobbed against Trump’s followers.

South Africa's election could bring a defining moment — and new complications. Here's what to know
South Africa's election will determine how weary the country has become of the ruling African National Congress party that has been in power since the end of the apartheid system of white minority rule 30 years ago. President Cyril Ramaphosa and the ANC are struggling to keep their parliamentary majority and opinion polls predict that the party will likely receive less than 50% of the national vote for the first time in the May 29 election. Instead, South Africans who have turned away from the ANC have gone looking for answers among an array of opposition parties.

The Dow's climb to a record 40,000 points
The Dow Jones Industrial Average, a laggard among the major U.S. stock indexes this year, got its moment in the spotlight on Thursday as it briefly broke above 40,000 points for the first time in its history. The record on the Dow - as well as fresh records on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite earlier this week - come as investors grow more confident that the U.S. is heading for an economic soft landing, where the Federal Reserve is able to tame inflation without badly hurting growth. While Dow components are weighted in the index by their share prices, S&P 500 stocks are weighted largely by their market value.
