Gremlins

Send us some fan mail!

Want to experience the wild ride of the 80s classic, Gremlins, all over again? Well, buckle up! This week, we (Jesse and Jason) are pulling back the curtains on the chaotic fun and mischief of the unforgettable film. We highlight the impressive special effects and puppetry that bring the pesky gremlins to life, and dig into the chaos they caused in that charming yet perplexing Christmas town. You'll find yourself chuckling as we discuss the film's iconic Mogwai care rules and Billy's questionable decisions, especially bringing his dog to work and feeding the Mogwai after midnight. Plus, we don't shy away from the not-so-bright spots like the villainous Mrs. Deagle and her cruel antics.

Our journey doesn't stop there. Remember the hilarious mishaps caused by Billy's father's inventions? We draw some amusing comparisons to the failed inventions in "Arrested Development". We also revisit the unforgettable kitchen scene and the dramatic introduction of Gizmo, the adorable Mogwai. But the fun truly begins when we plunge into the mischievous antics of the gremlins, from spitting mails back at the mailman to cutting brakes of the sheriff’s car, causing complete havoc in the town.

Finally, we wrap up our nostalgic trip with a deep-dive into the darker side of the movie.  We also ponder on why there haven't been more movies about these mischievous creatures. Join us for this roller coaster ride through the naughty and nice world of "Gremlins". Trust us, you won't want to miss this trip down memory lane!
