The Randomness Game

Let's play The Apparent Randomness Game! I'll tell you two things that are related in my mind. You find the connection

That's very good; you've got the spirit of the thing nailed. And you got to Ghostbusters without trouble. Did you have to Google it?

Sadly, the connection in my head wasn't through the Stay-Puft man. So you haven't got it. Yet.

And despite this being a game of apparently random connection, I hadn't thought of Eat Poop You Cat. I think you're right. This makes me happy.

Travis guesses that it's through the Sigourney Weaver chinese takeout scene. It's not. As a hint, I say that the connection is both more prosaic and more auditory than that.

Travis says, "I ain't afraid of no Gyoza?"

And I reply, "Ah, yes, now you're getting it. That's the potsticker half of the bridge. And the Ghostbusters half?"

Gozer (although the spelling could be wildly different) was the name of the destroyer, prior to his reincarnation as Mr. Stay-Puft.

But I probably never would have got the gyoza thing to begin with...

Got it! You and Travis share my admiration as winners. Paulv comes in close behind.

So to be clear, it went:
Potstickers->Gyoza->Gozer->Rick Moranis wearing a colander on his head
