Gremlins (1984)

The Projectors

Sure, they call it “THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR” but a lot of bad things can happen around the holidays and it can be very hard on folks. Today we hit up a worthy modern Christmas classic that was very formidable to our youth and introduced to us two absolute smokeshows that would influence our growth into maturity. We’re talking about Gizmo and Phoebe Cates. We hit up Joe Dante last Halloween season so let us discuss his iconic 1984 Christmas horror-comedy “GREMLINS” starring Zach Gilligan, Phoebe Cates & Hoyt Axton. Mogwai’s are extremely cute (don’t look up what that word means in Cantonese) but they come with very strict rules that seem inevitable to be broken. Wet em and they multiply. Feed them after midnight Eastern U.S. standard time and they will transform into these little green maniacs that are annoying, sometimes deadly but often very funny. They’re a very funny plague but could also destroy entire civilizations. Seriously, why aren’t we culling these Mogwai dudes? I know they’re cute as hell but the risks are too great. They do like movies though. That’s a big plus with these guys. If only we could get one on the show.
