'Tis the season for GREMLINS! That's right, we asked Saint Nick for a little holiday fun and he delivered with Joe Dante's monster masterpiece. We deep-dive into the classic film for Mark's first watch ever, and geek out over Gizmo, Stripe, and of course, good ol' Dick Miller. We also announce this year's holiday Grab Bag theme, so get pumped for that. If you want to get straight to the Gremlins talk, it happens around 21:00. But if you scrub ahead, just know that...

Enfin, décembre est là ! Le froid s'installe, tout comme notre envie de nous lover sur le canapé, un plaid jusqu'aux épaules, devant un bon film de Noël. Pas les petites productions cheaps qui inondent les écrans à partir d'octobre, mais plutôt les pépites qui jouent avec l'esprit de Noël et qui ont su traverser les années.C'est parti pour une petite sélection, bien sûr, non exhaustive avec Piège de cristal, Les Gremlins, Love Actually et Le Noël de Mickey.Hébergé par Ausha.

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.

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.Superata la prova dei pesciolini famelici, Dante si cimenta con creature decisamente più famigerate e pericolose ovvero i sempre troppo bistrattati lupi mannari.Primo (e uno dei pochi) successo della sua carriera, "L'Ululato" è un horror coi fiocchi che già presenta l'animo sornione e anarchico del nostro Joe Dante. eREADER01.

"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). Tony recommends, The Burbs (1989, Joe Dante). Jason recommends No Down Payment (1957, Martin Ritt). _____________________ Like and subscribe to Cold War Cinema, and don't forget to leave us a review!

For this year's Halloween theme, the Pink Smoke sets its sights on the mid-80's to early 90's trend of "mischievous little monsters" horror movies modeled after a certain masterpiece by a certain Joe Dante. Is there anything of quality to be found in such creature feature cash grabs? Do any cinematic critters, ghoulies, munchies or hobgoblins break the mold of the Gremlins template and discover their own identity? Is there any joy to be had in the low budget exploits of tiny varmints terrorizing people in small towns, big cities, carnivals, universities and outer space? We demand answers. Show us your goobers!

On the thirtieth night of our #31DaysToHalloween the Mister joins me in reviewing THE HOWLING (1981), from director Joe Dante, the film has a screenplay by Gary Brandner, John Sayles and Terence H. 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.

Steven Spielberg tried his hand at a Twilight Zone-ish series in 1985 that didn't exactly set the ratings world on fire, but would prove to be formative for a whole generation of imaginative kids. 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. Mick makes his first appearance on The Spiel talking about his time on Amazing Stories, collaborating with Spielberg, and writing for people like Martin Scorsese and Joe Dante.

Howling II: Your Sister is a Werewolf picks up right after Joe Dante's original The Howling but there's no denying that this movie is a ruthless slice of low-fi gothic cult film making, making it a huge success. It's not a film that everyone will love, but for those of you who enjoy unconventional cult classics, Howling II is a movie that may be right up your eccentric alley. After waiting almost an entire year to speak to her, I am excited to say that it was an absolute honor and pleasure to have spoken to the legendary actress herself and getting to know her on a more personal level. There was a lot to take in during this interview, but I must admit that I was intrigued the entire time. Knowing what kind of career Sybil Danning has built up for herself over the past four decades, you have to admire her. Afterall, she is essentially the Queen of Hollywood. No one could have played Stirba better than her in the film. The back history of the film, behind the scenes, what it was like to be on the same set as Christopher Lee; all this is spoken by her is priceless knowledge. You cannot label her as an amateur actress, but only as a legend who has seen and been through it all. More notably, as an actress who continues to reign the reels of Hollywood and I cannot wait to see more of her work on the big screen.

The Quatermass Experiment, the highly influential series considered the “birth of TV Sci-Fi”, with Toby Hadoke (Quatermass Experiment megafan, Doctor Who megafan, special features do-er, author, and standup comedian… he just sits around and twiddles his thumbs, does Toby). Toby's written the definitive book on the first Quatermass Experiment serial! Some Doctor Who discussion. “Behind the sofa.” The sneaky plan Toby used to name his dog. Nigel Neale (Quatermass writer) has influenced such directors as John Carpenter, Joe Dante, and Dan O'Bannon. Which Quatermass Experiment serial does Toby recommend starting with? Different motivations for British and American TV in decades past. Toby says Nigel Neale's The Road has the best ending of anything, ever. What are the chances of more Quatermass in the future? A nice tangent into John Carpenter's The Thing. A few last-minute Doctor Who tangents (including one about the Doctor going into his own brain). Pronunciation differences between the British and Americans (how the heck do you say Omega, anyway?). Toby actually likes one of the Bad Jokes of the Week.

Hello, People of the Wasteland. My name is Dave, Store Manager of Apocalypse Video, and I would like to read you the following statement I have prepared: “After the utter failure of our recent summer film fest, which featured the likes of Catwoman and Madame Web, I admit that my decision to create a whole summer of programming based purely on spite was ill conceived and wrong. I accept all responsibility for the pain and anguish that came along with everyone in the wasteland having to watch these terrible films in order to follow along with our corresponding podcast reviews. I hope that you will one day forgive me, and as a gesture of what I hope will lead to my eventual redemption, I would like to announce that this month's programming will officially be known as “Dave's Apology Tour”; a series of reviews based on movies and shows that people actually enjoy - and not things like the live action Aeon Flux. And with that, I hope you enjoy the first entry in my Apology Tour, 1999's box office smash: The Mummy.” I'm your host who's skating on thin ice, Dave, and joining me as we kick off a batch of watchable movies for a change are fellow cinephiles and crypt robbers Mike, Jackie, and Ryan. Topics of discussion in this episode include the famed “Summer of ‘99” (aka: the year of dual wielding pistols and CG bugs entering people's bodies); we talk about the decades long journey to bring The Mummy to screen, which included the likes of Joe Dante and Clive Barker; and finally, we talk about the Mummy's place in a crowded summer dominated by The Matrix and Star Wars: Episode One - The Phantom Menace. Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. You can also Like Us on Facebook, or shoot us an email at apocalypsevideopod@gmail.com  That'll do it for this episode, folks. Now, if you'll excuse us, we gotta jump on our camels and ride off into the sunset.

Macon Blair (The Toxic Avenger, I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore) joins Vespe to talk about one of the most impactful films of Steven Spielberg's career, Twilight Zone: The Movie. They dip into the tragedy, of course, but there's more to this anthology than the controversy. This film brings together some of the best filmmakers of the era in John Landis, Joe Dante, Spielberg, and George Miller and they're all given room to go as bonkers as they want to as storytellers. While not totally successful, it remains a highly entertaining film and a juicy conversation starter for movie nerds. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The inimitable Tom Spina returns to the podcast to shine a bright light on a topic he seems to know everything about: Gremlins and Mogwai. Having professionally restored almost 80 of the wee beasties, Tom regales David and Ryan with his knowledge of all the ins and outs of the stunts, heroes, marionettes, puppets, giant versions and SFX versions built for Joe Dante's Gremlins and Gremlins II and throws cold water on any Gremlins myths that might be stuck up your chimney of prop knowledge. But don't listen to this episode after midnight -- we at the Stuff Dreams Are Made Of can't be responsible for what might happen. Or for any of Ryan's Gremlins puns. ~Mogwai singing~ Email: dreamsaremadeofpodcast@gmail.com SDAMO - Instagram https://www.instagram.com/propspodcast/ SDAMO - Bluesky https://bsky.app/profile/propspodcast.bsky.social SDAMO - Facebook https://www.facebook.com/propspodcast/ SDAMO - TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@props.podcast David Mandel - Instagram https://www.instagram.com/davidhmandel/

With the annual Flashback Weekend Horror Convention just around the corner, Nick welcomes Mike Kerz—the man behind the madness—for a look at how this beloved event began and how it's grown into a horror fan's dream. From humble roots to a stacked lineup featuring Robert Englund, Dee Wallace, Joe Dante, Devon Sawa, Danielle Harris, and the casts of Terrifier, Re-Animator, The Howling, and more, this year's gathering at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare (Aug. 1–3) promises serious screams and nostalgia. Nick and Mike reflect on over two decades of hosting panels, fan memories, and the joy of celebrating genre film with a passionate community. Then Esmeralda Leon jumps in for a wide-ranging conversation about gentrification, the corporate takeover of everything from coffee to culture, and why Meg Ryan's character in You've Got Mail is actually the villain. It's horror, heart, and a little hypocrisy—all in one show. [Ep 367]
