For our first official inductee into the new Psychotronic Hall of Fame, we could think of no one better than Joe Dante, a director who embodies everything that psychotronic cinema stands for, from his roots as a Monster Kid and graduate of the Corman school, through his later mainstream breakthrough, which he achieved without ever abandoning his love of classic genre cinema. For the entire month of December, we'll be exploring the films and career of Joe Dante.

Well, it's Christmas time! So how could we pass up the opportunity to talk about one of our absolute favorite psychotronic holiday flicks — and one that just so happens to fit in with this month's subject?

This week, we're talking about the classic Joe Dante film, GREMLINS!

We're joined this week by very special guests John Ferrer and Scott Dunlap, two of the brains behind McArathon, a 24-hour festival of bizarre, rare, and cult holiday entertainment! McArathon XV is happening on December 21-22, from 3pm to 3pm, at The Aviary at Birds Fly South Ale Project in Greenville, SC! Find more information on this year's event here.

We're excited to have John and Scott join us to discuss the impact of GREMLINS, as well as its origins and some behind-the-scenes stories.

Will GREMLINS go down in history as a member of the Psychotronic Canon? It's up to you! Be sure to cast your vote in this week's poll!
