This week, we dive headfirst into the world of "Gremlins," the 1984 Christmas horror-comedy classic. Like a science teacher, we dissect the film's memorable scenes, discuss the cast, and explore the lore of the Mogwai and Gremlins. From the iconic Universal Lot to the practical puppetry that brought the creatures to life, we cover a lot of ground and leave a lot for a sequal. #gremlins #christmasmovies #80smovies #thispodcasttakestokens #TPTT #podcast
