To quote Noddy Holder “IT’S CHRISTMAS!”, and so we’re watching a Christmas classic to celebrate: we’re back with Joe Dante for 1984’s “Gremlins”. A film in which a clearly already tense domestic situation means Mom escalates from stressed to merciless psychopath in a heartbeat, The Honorable Judge Reinhold goes missing (and no one cares), and 3 basic fucking rules apparently can’t be stuck to!
Along the way we discuss the BBC’s upcoming MR James Ghost Story for Christmas and “Dracula” mini-series, their recent adaptation of “War of the World”, and how shit things were 100 years ago.
Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers, and join us.
