Red Letter Media Takes Down And Breaks Down The ‘Ghostbusters’ Reboot By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 9, 2017 8:00 am EST It’s kind of amazing that Mike Stoklasa’s creation of RedLetterMedia and the character of Harry S. Plinkett has lasted so long after first finding viral fame for a seven-part takedown of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace back in 2009. But the internet is full of plenty of wackier things, and despite the fact that this character is supremely annoying to listen to, his video reviews do make plenty of valid points, even if they are combined with some really lame attempts at humor....
