This week, we review the 1980s horror comedy, "Gremlins."  We discuss the movie's tone, the three...problematic...rules about what *not* to do with Mogwai, whether this movie is suitable for kids, how this movie affected the American film rating system, and the varying levels of intelligence shown by the characters throughout the movie.  We even get a little philosophical about whether Gremlins are sentient or not and evil or not.

Remember the three rules of Mogwai.

1.  Don't expose them to light.  Sunlight can kill them.

2.  Don't get them wet.

3.  No matter how much they beg, don't ever feed them after midnight.

I'm glad I'm not a Mogwai.  Midnight is never too late for chips & salsa (no matter what time zone I'm in).

Get your flashlights and improvised weapons ready, and join us as we shine a light on...Gremlins.

Happy Holidays!  :)

Update (Friday 23 December 2022):  Our review of "Gremlins" recently reached its two-year anniversary.  It has now been re-uploaded with slightly improved audio quality.
