Psychic

I have a strong psychic belief that the world will end on New Year's Eve.

— Ghostbusters II ‧ 1989

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

A psychic confidently predicts the world will end on a specific date: New Year's Eve. The oddly precise timing undercuts the enormity of the doom being forecast. Certainty about something unprovable makes the prediction feel more comic than credible.
