In which the Mister joins me in reviewing GREMLINS (1984), from a script by Chris Columbus, the film is directed by Joe Dante.  When a struggling inventor (Hoyt Axton) buys a mysterious, adorable creature called a Mogwai as a Christmas gift for his son Billy (Zach Galligan), he is warned of three strict rules: keep it away from bright light, don't get it wet, and never feed it after midnight.  After the rules are inevitably broken, the creature spawns a brood of mischievous, scaly monsters that begin a violent and chaotic rampage through the idyllic town of Kingston Falls.  As the town's holiday celebrations turn into a nightmare, Billy and his girlfriend Kate (Phoebe Cates) must track down the malevolent leader, Stripe (Frank Welker), to stop the gremlins before they destroy the entire community.  The film clocks in at 1 h and 46 m, is rated PG and it's currently streaming on Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max, AMC+  and to rent/buy on Prime Video.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.#Gremlins #ChrisColumbus #JoeDante #HoytAxton #Randall #ZachGalligan #Billy #PhoebeCates #Kate #CoreyFeldman #Pete #FrancesLeeMcCain #Lynn #GlynnTurman #MrHanson #PollyHolliday #MrsDeagle #HowieMandel #Gizmo #FrankWelker #Stripe #DarkComedy #DarkFantasy #FolkHorror #HolidayComedy #MonsterHorror #QuirkyComedy #SupernaturalFantasy #SupernaturalHorror #Fantasy #Comedy  @DisneyPlus  @Hulu  @HboMax  @Amc+  @PrimeVideo   #FridayFamilyFilmNightOpening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library

In 1984, producer Steven Spielberg, writer Chris Columbus, and director Joe Dante brought a new breed of cuddly creatures to the big screen, hoping to draw in fans of other odd critters like Yoda and E.T. The star of this film is the adorable "mogwai" (Chinese for "devil") named Gizmo, who propagates some very odd offspring that terrorize a small town on Christmas Eve. Released the same weekend as Ghostbusters, this horror-comedy was a hit with audiences, earning $212 million on an $11 million budget. The flick spawned a 1990 sequel, subtitled The New Batch, and a TV series, with a forthcoming third film, Secrets of the Mogwai, in the works. On the merchandising side, the Gizmo plush became an instant hit as one of the top toys of Christmas '84. And, of course, there were plenty of knock-offs, from Critters, to Munchies, to Ghoulies. Perhaps most notably, the film's violence and gore, packaged in family-friendly wrapping paper, led to the creation of a new MPAA rating category: PG-13. But forty-one years later, are we still going gaga for Gremlins? Or have these vicious vermin overstayed their welcome like unruly in-laws at the holidays?   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com    You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Today, we're looking at whether the science and story logic behind the Upside Down from Netflix's Stranger Things could work!The final season of Stranger Things has finally arrived on Netflix, and we know it was worth the wait. Stranger Things season 5 might be the most anticipated new season of a Netflix series in history. And with good reason. An instant sensation from when it first premiered in 2016, the kids from Hawkins have captivated new audiences and nostalgia enthusiasts alike with their unique blend of prestige TV storytelling and nods to classic directors like Steven Spielberg, David Cronenberg, John Carpenter, Joe Dante, and more.And central to Stranger Things lore is the Upside Down, the weird parallel dimension that lurks alongside the fictional Hawkins, Indiana. So how does this relate to hard science concepts like string theory, dark matter, or the fundamental forces of the universe? And since one of the reasons Stranger Things has endured for nearly a decade is just how well the lore works, we'll take a deep dive into the concepts and behind-the-scenes facts that make it all hang together.   Check out the latest episode of Does it Fly? to learn more!https://youtu.be/dXNJsDMCICoFOLLOW US!Stay in the loop!

This Week in Horror History is your winter horror watchlist, breaking down Christmas horror movies, winter thrillers, and classic ghost stories for the week of November 26–December 2. In this episode of the Weekly Spooky horror podcast, host Henrique Couto revisits Misery (1990), Scrooge / A Christmas Carol (1951), Violent Night (2022), deep-cut sequel The Descent Part 2 (2009), and cult anthology Deadtime Stories (1986) to help you build the perfect cold-weather horror marathon.We start in the snow with Misery (1990), Rob Reiner's adaptation of Stephen King's cabin-fever nightmare. A bestselling author crashes in a blizzard and wakes up trapped with his “number one fan,” Annie Wilkes, whose devotion turns surgical. It's tense, wintry, and weirdly cozy in that “stuck inside with the storm howling outside” way—perfect for the dark days after Thanksgiving.How to watch (U.S.): You can see it for free on Tubi, or rent it wherever you like to do that sort of thing.Then we slide straight into holiday hauntings with Scrooge / A Christmas Carol (1951), one of the most iconic Christmas ghost stories ever filmed. Alastair Sim's Ebenezer Scrooge is dragged through past, present, and a terrifying future by rattling chains, graveyards, and skeletal specters. It's gothic, eerie, and still strangely comforting—a reminder that Christmas horror began with moral dread and vengeful spirits long before killer Santas.How to watch (U.S.): You can watch it free on Tubi, on Plex, or wherever you rent your movies.From there we jump to modern holiday carnage with Violent Night (2022), where Santa picks up a sledgehammer and goes to war with mercenaries during a Christmas Eve hostage situation. It's loud, cathartic, funny, and surprisingly sweet at its core—ideal Black Friday recovery viewing when you want bloody Christmas action, tinsel, and a very bad night for the naughty list.How to watch (U.S.): It's streaming on Peacock, or you can snag it anywhere you rent digital movies.The Deep Cut Spotlight crawls underground with The Descent Part 2 (2009), the much-maligned cave sequel that deserves another look. Sarah is dragged out of the caves amnesiac and traumatized, only to be pressured into leading a rescue team back into the darkness. What follows is a brutal, grim follow-up packed with creatures that feel a little too plausible—perfect “cozy nightmare fuel” as you settle into your turkey coma and wonder what's lurking just beyond your flashlight beam.How to watch (U.S.): It's free to watch on Plex, or rentable wherever you normally pick up digital horror movies.To cap the episode, Henrique recommends Deadtime Stories (1986), a trashy, off-the-wall horror anthology movie that leans into fairy-tale weirdness and late-night TV vibes. It feels tailor-made for cold-weather sleepovers: campy, bizarre, and just dangerous enough to feel like you shouldn't be watching it right before bed.How to watch (U.S.): You can watch it free on TubiTV, Pluto TV, The Roku Channel, Fandango at Home Free, and Plex, or with a subscription on Amazon Prime Video and Sling TV.Along the way, we roll through the Birthday Roll, raising a drumstick to horror favorites like Peter Facinelli, Joe Dante, and Nestor Carbonell, and talk about how Christmas horror has evolved—from the moral reckoning of Scrooge to Santa as bruised action hero and the creeping dread of being trapped, whether you're snowed in or sealed underground. If you're hunting for winter horror movies and Christmas horror classics to plug into your December calendar, this week's horror history has you covered.This episode is sponsored by Cozy Earth — ultra-soft, temperature-regulating bamboo sheets, comforters, and loungewear that keep you warm without overheating while you binge scary movies.

"Ho cominciato a rifugiarmi nell'avventura con i libri, quando da bambino ho avuto la polio che mi ha costretto per un anno a casa. Poi ho cercato l'avventura al cinema che significava la fuga dalla realtà. Non che nella realtà fossi infelice, ma con i film ero più felice"Non è certo facile essere un ribelle, specialmente se lavori a Hollywood. E ne sa qualcosa il buon vecchio Joe Dante, uno degli allievi prediletti di Roger Corman che riuscì a imporsi sulla scena del cinema degli anni '80 per poi lottare costantemente per un cinema più genuino e coraggioso.Dopo "L'Ululato", Dante raggiunse la consacrazione con quello che ancora oggi è uno dei film di culto degli anni '80 ovvero quella deliziosa e crudele fiaba nera che è "Gremlins". 01.

"No matarás... al vecino" es, sin duda, una de esas rarezas que definen lo que en Matguffin entendemos por película de culto: divertida, con un pie plantado en el cine de género y otro en la pura sátira suburbana, y, sobre todo, una de esas joyas de las que no se habla lo suficiente. Joe Dante se despide de los años ochenta repartiendo collejas a la América modélica de las vallas blancas, los céspedes radiactivos y las vecinas con exceso de tiempo libre. Una comedia negra disfrazada de thriller paranoico, que convierte el vecindario perfecto en un vietnam suburbano. En este primer Matguffin sonoro, rastreamos el proyecto desde su origen como piloto televisivo hasta su estreno en el número uno de la taquilla en febrero de 1989.

"They're here already! You're next! You're next! You're next!" The Cold War Cinema team returns to discuss the 1956 sci-fi classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Something is off in the sleepy little town of Santa Mira, California. As residents begin worrying that their family and friends no longer seem to be who they say they are, Dr. Miles Bennell and his former flame Becky Driscoll slowly uncover an alien plot to replace every person on earth with otherworldly duplicates. Directed by Don Siegel (Riot on Cell Block 11, Dirty Harry, Escape from Alcatraz) and written by Daneil Mainwaring (Out of the Past), and with uncredited work by blacklisted screenwriter Richard Collins (Song of Russia), Invasion explores myriad maladies in midcentury American culture.    Join hosts Jason Christian, Tony Ballas, and Paul T. Klein as we discuss:  The many complicated—and often contradictory—political allegories often read into the film from both the left and the right, including anti-communist and anti-conformist messages. The political and discursive handwringing done by Invasion's creative team to distance themselves and the film from its most potent politics. Invasion's other formal and narrative critiques of psychoanalysis, middle-class nuclear family values, professional expertise, and the Hollywood studio system. Why movies are not riddles to be solved. _____________________ We love to give book or film recommendations on the podcast, so here are ours for this episode:  Paul recommends Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982, Tommy Lee Wallace).

Winkless.  Scarred after a terrifying encounter with a serial killer, Los Angeles television news anchor Karen White (Dee Wallace) is sent with her husband to "The Colony," a secluded, New Age-style self-help retreat for trauma patients in the countryside.  As her husband is seduced by one of the seductive, predatory locals, Karen and her journalist friend slowly discover that the peaceful commune is secretly inhabited by a pack of werewolves who can transform at will.  Realizing her life is in danger and the world must be warned, Karen races against time to expose the horrifying truth before the bloodthirsty community can silence her permanently.  The film clocks in at 1 h and 31 m, is rated R and we caught it on Prime Video but you can find it on Fawesome, Tubi and on Prime Video to buy/rent.

Amazing Stories brought in a combination of seasoned pros like Scorsese and Clint Eastwood and exciting, young talent, including today's guest, writer and filmmaker Mick Garris. Mick became famous for his Stephen King adaptations like The Stand and The Shining mini-series, but it was Steven Spielberg who gave him his first shot, first writing a few episodes on the first season of Amazing Stories, and then acting as head writer overseeing all the scripts coming in before eventually giving him a chance at directing an episode in Season 2.
