Roughly three months after the release of the 'Ghostbusters' remake, director Paul Feig address some of the film's major criticisms at the New Yorker Festival. The all-female remake starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones was not welcomed with open arms. Some said that the movie "ruined their childhood." At the festival, Feig said: "I didn't realize that Ghostbusters was the equivalent of that clubhouse that has the sign, 'No girls allowed." He added: "I didn't realize there was going to be that much backlash, but I'm very happy that I did it and that cast of women."
