Welcome to the new weird world where all of us will have to start referring to the upcoming Ghostbusters films with gendered specificity. As rumored, writer Drew Pearce hopes that Chris Pratt and Channing Tatum will sign on for his project, which is probably not called Dudebusters, but it should be, because how else are we supposed to tell it apart from the other new Ghostbusters?

This coincidental reboot could still be bad news for misogynist Ghostbusters fans, though — Pearce’s vision for the film involves a shared universe with Paul Feig’s all-female cast. Wouldn’t it be nice if Pearce’s vision also included some lady ghostbusters? A co-ed team would be cool to see. Let’s “ruin” some more childhoods.
