Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast.

Today they mark the 40th anniversary of much-loved classic comedy-fantasy/horror films Ghostbusters and Gremlins. Both films were released in the UK on 7th December 1984. Both were box-office hits that spawned games, toys and sequels and became part of pop culture. Mark and Stuart look back at their impact and influence and play a selection of ghost and gremlin-themed music. With tracks from artists including Mogwai, Darlene Love and Ladytron.

Also on the show... a host of quality radio items including 'The Chain' - our world-famous list of over 8000 interconnected songs.
