Podcast appearances and mentions of Phoebe Cates

Six years after the runaway phenomenon that was Gremlins, director Joe Dante (The Howling, Innerspace) finally delivered a sequel....only this time, he brought the action to New York City where Billy (Zach Galligan) and Kate (Phoebe Cates) now live.  They both have jobs working at the famous Clamp Tower for the Clamp Corporation which is run by famous billionaire Daniel Clamp (John Glover).....and life is pretty dull overall.  Until one day, they're sent an old friend at the tower.....more than an old friend, it's Gizmo the adorable Mogwai from the first film! :) Will they follow "The RULES" this time? :o   Host & Editor: Geoff GershonEditor: Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Manolis Zontanos extolls the virtues of Fast Times as a cautionary tale for teenagers. It's an interesting idea but is that what you thought when you saw it or did you see a cesspool of sex and bad decisions? Guess where Jimmy comes down on this argument. We're listing this as clean (no swearing) but there is some mature subject matter.

Check out a new nostalgic animated holiday special Christmas With Grubbs - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chCV9cuLpVY It's Christmas AND it's been 40 years since Gremlins came out. Let's see what Nostalgia Critic thinks of this "kinda" Christmas classic. Gremlins is a 1984 American comedy horror film directed by Joe Dante, written by Chris Columbus and starring Zach Galligan, Phoebe Cates, Hoyt Axton, Polly Holliday and Frances Lee McCain, with Howie Mandel providing the voice of Gizmo, the main mogwai character. It draws on legends of folkloric mischievous creatures that cause malfunctions—"gremlins"—in the British Royal Air Force going back to World War II. The story follows young man Billy Peltzer, who receives a strange creature as a pet, which then spawns other creatures that transform into aggressive, imp-like monsters that wreak havoc on Billy's hometown during Christmas Eve.

Few movies blend chaos, comedy, and holiday cheer as seamlessly as Gremlins (1984). This darkly delightful gem from director Joe Dante and producer Steven Spielberg has become a holiday classic for its irreverent tone and unforgettable creatures. Whether you're drawn in by the fuzzy charm of Gizmo or the anarchic antics of his mischievous offspring, Gremlins offers something unique: a satirical horror-comedy that's heartwarming and horrifying. We hope you enjoy this Gremlins (1984) movie review as our last episode of 2024Setting the StageSet in the idyllic small town of Kingston Falls, Gremlins begins with an innocent Christmas gift that goes spectacularly awry. Billy Peltzer (Zach Galligan) receives a Mogwai—a mysterious, cuddly creature named Gizmo—from his father, an eccentric inventor. Along with the gift come three rules: don't expose him to bright light, don't get him wet, and never, ever feed him after midnight. Naturally, all three rules are broken, unleashing a chaotic chain of events as Gizmo spawns a horde of Gremlins, who terrorize the town in increasingly outlandish ways.The Characters: Lovable and LoathsomeGalligan's Billy is the quintessential everyman, navigating the chaos with wide-eyed determination, but the supporting cast truly shines. Phoebe Cates brings depth to her role as Kate, Billy's resourceful love interest, delivering one of the film's most haunting—and unexpectedly poignant—moments with her infamous “Santa Claus” monologue.However, the real stars are the creatures themselves. Gizmo, voiced by Howie Mandel, embodies adorableness, while Stripe, the leader of the Gremlins, is a maniacal scene-stealer. The practical effects and puppetry give these characters a tactile realism that CGI often struggles to replicate.A Genre-Bending TriumphWhat sets Gremlins apart is its masterful tone. The film walks a fine line between horror and comedy, never fully committing to one genre but excelling at both. The Gremlins' antics range from slapstick humour to genuinely unsettling terror, such as the sequence in which they stalk Billy's mother through their eerily decorated home. At the same time, the film pokes fun at American consumerism and small-town clichés, adding a layer of satire that rewards repeat viewings.A Holiday Movie Like No OtherWhile it's often considered a Christmas movie, Gremlins gleefully subverts holiday tropes. Yes, there are twinkling lights, carolers, and a snow-covered backdrop, but the Gremlins themselves turn these festive symbols into instruments of mayhem. A quiet tree becomes a hiding spot for an ambush, and a holiday dinner is interrupted by chaos and destruction. This juxtaposition of cheerful aesthetics with dark comedy makes Gremlins an enduringly fresh experience.Cinematic CraftsmanshipJoe Dante's direction is pitch-perfect, balancing the film's disparate tones with finesse. Jerry Goldsmith's score is equally memorable, alternating between whimsical themes for Gizmo and eerie cues for the Gremlins. Cinematographer John Hora captures the coziness of Kingston Falls before plunging it into chaos, creating a visual dichotomy that enhances the story.The film's practical effects are a standout feature, showcasing the artistry of the pre-digital era. From Gizmo's expressive face to the Gremlins' grotesque transformations, every creature feels alive. It's a testament to the ingenuity of the filmmakers that these effects remain impressive nearly four decades later.Cultural Impact and LegacyReleased in the summer of 1984 alongside Ghostbusters and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Gremlins was part of a pivotal moment in blockbuster history. Its mix of humour and horror challenged traditional genre boundaries, paving the way for films like Beetlejuice and Shaun of the Dead.The movie's success also led to the creation of the PG-13 rating, as its content was deemed too intense for a PG audience but not graphic enough for an R. This marked a turning point in how films were rated, influencing decades of cinema.Gremlins spawned a sequel, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, which leaned even further into self-referential humour. While the sequel is beloved in its own right, the original remains the definitive entry, capturing the perfect balance of whimsy and wickedness.Why Gremlins EnduresPart of what makes Gremlins so enduring is its ability to surprise. Just when you think you've figured out its tone or message, it throws you a curveball, whether it's a heartfelt moment with Gizmo or an unexpectedly dark turn. It's a film that delights in defying expectations, making it a joy to revisit year after year.Moreover, its themes remain relevant. The dangers of irresponsible consumerism, the chaos of unchecked innovation, and the fine line between cute and creepy all resonate just as strongly today as they did in 1984.Final ThoughtsGremlins is more than just a movie—it's a cultural touchstone that continues to inspire filmmakers and entertain audiences. Its blend of humor, horror, and holiday spirit is unmatched, making it a must-watch for fans of 80s cinema and genre mashups.So grab some popcorn (but maybe skip the midnight snack), and let yourself be swept away by the mischievous magic of Gremlins. Just remember the rules.This episode of Born to Watch dives deep into the legacy of Gremlins, exploring its unique blend of comedy, horror, and holiday cheer. Whether you're a first-time viewer or a lifelong fan, this movie review will rekindle your love for a film that remains as delightfully chaotic as ever.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcasthttps://www.borntowatch.com.au/

Steve Agee (Peacemaker, The Sarah Silverman Program, Superstore) joins the Spiel boys to talk about the very festive, very zany, and incredibly dark family film Gremlins, produced by Steven Spielberg, directed by Joe Dante, and starring Zach Galligan and Phoebe Cates. The trio discuss the film's reception upon release, why it still holds up today, how it helped usher in the PG-13 rating, how devastatingly gorgeous Phoebe Cates is, and how Gremlins grew out of the famous unmade Spielberg evil aliens movie titled Night Skies.

This week, Bryan and Dave take a trip back to 1984 for a look at one of the top box office draws of 1984 and one of the most toyetic pictures of the decade, Gremlins. It's one of Chris Columbus's first movies produced and Joe Dante's first feature with Steven Spielberg. It's got adorable little cuddly guys, nasty little monsters, Phoebe Cates, gleeful puppet carnage, and a powerhouse score from Hollywood's musical swiss army knife, Jerry Goldsmith. In a year packed with some of American pop cultures most enduring classic titles, Gremlins is among the most iconic of the decade. It's not all fuzzy feelings, though. As much as it's a lot of Loony Tunes fun and mayhem it's a movie that hasn't exactly aged well and we'll tell you all about it; the good and the bad.

Season's Greetings! After this episode of the Video Store Podcast some of you may be wondering about my sanity. (I know my mother does.) Listen, I love Christmas films — I really do! I grew up on all those Rankin-Bass specials and classic Christmas movies… but after watching a dozen Hallmark specials in a row, don't you wish that at least once a fight would break out and someone would carve more than the turkey? No? Oh, dear. Maybe my mother was right. On this episode I share four horror-themed Christmas classics. First up is 1974's Black Christmas, a film that, along with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (also released in 1974). In the film a sorority house is bombarded with obscene phone calls that quickly turn violent. What the sorority sisters don't realize is that the calls are coming from inside the house. The killer is hiding in the attic, as are some of his victims. This might not have been the best film to lead off with because it is a straight up horror film. It is considered to be one of the first slasher films, and the first “holiday” slasher film. It's easy to see how later films like Halloween and Friday the 13th were influenced by it. While the film does take place over the holiday break, don't hold out for a Christmas miracle when it comes to the ending.Next up is 1984's Silent Night, Deadly Night. You know how they say sometimes a film's reputation precedes it? The release of this film was highly protested, not so much because of its content but because of the film's artwork which featured an arm (dressed in a Santa suit) reaching out of a chimney and holding an ax. The film was so highly contested that Gene Siskel once read the names of the producers of the film and shamed them on television. Despite only running in theaters for a single week, it managed to bring in $2.5 million and did even better in rental stores. It was so successful that we eventually got four sequels to the film. Silent Night, Deadly Night is definitely a horror film but with a few light moments thrown in.My third film this week is 1997's Jack Frost, not to be consued with the 1998 film by the same name starring Michael Keaton. In this holiday treat, a transport vehicle carring a convicted serial killer combines with a van full of genetic testing chemicals (that's never good) and as a result the killer, named Jack Frost, finds himself melted and merged with the layer of snow he landed on. Essentially the plot of this film is the same as Child's Play, instead of the killer ending up in a doll, here he becomes a snowman. This is more of a black comedy than a straight up horror film and according to Rotten Tomatoes it wasn't a very good one, but those people need to drink more spiked eggnog before watching classics like this.The last film on my list is 1984's Gremlins. If you haven't seen it in a while you might have forgotten that Gremlins takes place around Christmas. (Billy's Mogwai was a Christmas gift, remember?) With names like Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante, Chris Columbus, Phoebe Cates, Keye Luke, Howie Mandell, and even Corey Feldman, this film was destined to be a classic. This is a film that I often catch scenes of while flipping channels, but really should be watched from beginning to end to fully enjoy.This year I noticed Home Depot had their Christmas holiday decorations out on display in late October. I heard “Wonderful Christmastime” dozens of times on the radio before Thanksgiving. It seems like we get bombarded with Christmas films, television episodes, TV specials and music for two solid months each year. I like Christmas, I really do, but every now and then a film featuring a guy in a Santa outfit wielding an ax is a nice break from it all. Enjoy and seasons greetings from me and the other employees here at the video store. This is a public episode.

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.

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! Today, we're cruising back to the 1980s with a deep dive into Fast Times at Ridgemont High, a seminal teen comedy that has left an indelible mark on the genre. Directed by Amy Heckerling and released in 1982, this film not only launched several careers but also captured the quintessential teen experience with humor, honesty, and a bit of rebellion.Based on Cameron Crowe's book, which he wrote after going undercover at a San Diego high school, Fast Times at Ridgemont High presents a slice-of-life look at the trials and tribulations of teenage life. The film explores the lives of several students including the iconic Jeff Spicoli (Sean Penn), a perpetually stoned surfer, the ambitious Stacy Hamilton (Jennifer Jason Leigh), and her older brother, Brad (Judge Reinhold), as they navigate the complexities of adolescence.From dating disasters to job frustrations, the film covers a wide range of teen experiences. Stacy's explorations of love and relationships, Spicoli's clashes with the strict Mr. Hand (Ray Walston), and Brad's journey toward independence paint a vivid picture of the ups and downs of teenage life. The narrative is episodic, shifting focus among characters and their individual stories, which are both humorous and poignant.Why It Stands OutAuthentic Dialogue and Situations: The film shines in its depiction of teenage dialogue and situations, feeling both authentic and relatable. It captures the awkwardness, excitement, and confusion of high school without resorting to cliché.Breakout Performances: Sean Penn's portrayal of Spicoli is legendary, providing a source of comic relief and becoming a cultural icon. The performances by a young ensemble cast, including future stars like Nicolas Cage and Forest Whitaker, are dynamic and memorable.Cultural Impact: The film tackled teen issues with a frankness that was rare for its time, addressing topics like sex, drugs, and identity with a directness that has influenced countless teen comedies that followed.Fast Times at Ridgemont High explores the theme of adolescence as a pivotal time for self-discovery and personal growth. Each character's journey through the school year reflects the broader search for identity that defines the teenage experience.Join us as we revisit the hallways of Ridgemont High, exploring its iconic characters and memorable scenes. Whether it's your first time watching or a beloved rewatch, Fast Times promises both laughs and a thoughtful reflection on the highs and lows of teenage life.

Prior to 1982's FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH, few films were brazen enough to depict an honest slice of teenage high school life. But that all changed with the keenly observant & smart pairing of writer Cameron Crowe & director Amy Heckerling. Not only did it usher in a brave new baseline for teen stories, but it also launched countless budding careers. Let's head back to school & rediscover the film that was edgy for its time… and now feels more progressive 40 years later! ///***Discussions include*** Brief recap of Cameron Crowe's early career & what led to his novel, Fast Times at Ridgemont High: A True Story, becoming a film; finding director Amy Heckerling, her relationship with Crowe & importance of a female voice; intense studio concerns, adapting the book, changes, creating a narrative flow, emotional complexity & tonality; soundtrack, the film's ending, memorable moments, in-depth character & cast discussion; struggle with the MPAA, editing, test screening, release/reception, plus the top movies of 1982.

Quick note for our listeners. Apologies for minor technical issues, we recorded this "campfire episode" during a power outage on the first day of Mercury in Retrograde. Also, trigger warning for a brief mention of suicide in our coverage of the first film.  As we round out the summer, SITC is setting the scene on theme with three films featuring sex on the beach (the action, not the cocktail).  Torie and Maggie kick off with the Brooke Shields blockbuster and kissing cousin's classic THE BLUE LAGOON (1980). Maggie is thrilled with Torie's burgeoning bi-sexuality specific to the one Phoebe Cates in the atrocious Blue Lagoon ripoff, PARADISE (1982). Throuples and lizards run rampant on the island of Santorini in SUMMER LOVERS (1982) starring a young Daryl Hannah and Peter Gallagher. 

We're kickin' off the school season right with an 80's classic featuring the biggest crush button of them all, Phoebe Cates! It's Fast Times at Ridgemont High! 

Zach Galligan gets rid of the gremlins and Phoebe Cates and finds himself a wife hellbent on killing him for his inheritence. Standing in her way is his brother and the world's worst therapist. It's the erotice thriller Mortal Passions on this week's episode of They Called This a Movie. Join us as we discuss half-baked murder plots, try to figure out who's at fault, and discuss the out-of-nowhere conclusion. Find us on Twitter and Instagram @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.Our theme music was written and performed by Dave Katusa. He can be found on Instagram @dkat_productions.

For the balance of the summer Paul, Javi, and - fearlessly - Producer Brad have braved one unbelievable movie premise after another: humanoid androids, murderous artificial intelligences, vengeful genetically engineered intergalactic dictators, the wastelands of the post-apocalypse, barbarian mercenaries with jet-powered swords… even singing sex workers have shown themselves to be no match for their laser-like analytical focus. But on the sixteenth weekend of the summer, our podcasters may have met their match with Amy Heckerling's film of Cameron Crowe's chronicle of 1980's high school shenanigans “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”. What happens when three dyed-in-the-wool geeks face the unthinkable: sexually active high schoolers with no interest in genre films, TV, or comic books? Marvel as the intrepid Multipex Overthruster crew struggles to make sense of something so far out of their reality that they are frequently rendered speechless and without the capacity for rational thought! It's the ultimately challenge - will the crew survive? There's only one way to find out!

On the latest episode of the podcast, Doug wonders if Wendy's fries would cause an angel severe diarrhea, Jamie inadvertently stumbles into a porthole/portal to porn bit, and we both agree that Phoebe Cates and the man who plays her father may be the only reasons to take a look at this film. Bury that French accent in dolphin noises, chow down on a pickle sandwich, and join us as we posit multiple ways this movie could have been more enjoyable while we discuss, Date with an Angel!Visit our YouTube ChannelMerch on TeePublic Follow us on TwitterFollow on InstagramFind us on FacebookVisit our Website

Emilio, Madeline, and Julian finish off their cycle on High School Movies with a "Close-Up" on the great director Amy Heckerling, and a selection of her school-based films. The trio kick it off with 1982's "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," Heckerling's directorial debut and an unforgettable ensemble comedy/drama with a Cameron Crowe-penned script and career-defining performances from many of its stars. To follow, they then take a look at 1995's "Clueless," Heckerling's mid-90s, Beverly Hills-set adaptation of Jane Austen's "Emma," and a trendsetting masterpiece influential to many later movies set in high school and beyond. And to finish off, the trio shed some light on 2000's "Loser," a college film to punctuate the episode cycle, and one that may have done better critically and at the box office had Amy Heckerling been allowed more autonomy in its production. If you enjoy our podcast, please consider writing us a positive review on your podcast platform of choice.

Merry Christmas! It's our final episode of 2023, and we're going out in style by reviewing the absolutely bonkers Joe Dante Christmas movie (YES IT'S A CHRISTMAS MOVIE) - Gremlins! Phoebe Cates? SMASH that crush button!

Our Christmas Series wraps up with one you wouldn't expect--Gremlins! The story begins with Oklahoma folk/country singer Hoyt Axton, playing inventor/two-bit entrepreneur Randall Peltzer. In a Chinatown antique store, Randall secretly buys a mogwai, or a cute, mischievous, fantastical creature, from the owner's grandson. This adorable furball has three big rules—don't expose it to light. Don't get it wet, and don't feed it after midnight. The former will cause it to reproduce like tribbles, the latter will cause it turn into a larger, more monstrous and destructive creature. Mr. Peltzer takes the mogwai to his 20ish son, Bill, played by Zack Galligan, as a Christmas present. Naturally, the three rules get broken, and all hell breaks loose.  Also stars familiar 80s actors like Phoebe Cates as Billy's coworker and love interest. And Judge Reinhold as Billy's asshole boss. Cates and Reinhold would previously co-star in another iconic 80s hit. Fast times at Ridgemont High.

In the 80's, teenagers hustling for money was a tough racket. Robert Romanus was selling second-hand concert tickets and Phoebe Cates was scooping ice cream at the mall, while Judge Reinhold grilled hamburgers and Kevin Bacon got canoes ready at Camp Crystal Lake. But who would have imagined that babysitting would give the greatest teen job adventure of the decade?! After Bradley Whitford insanely cancels his date with Elisabeth Shue, she's locked into the wildest night of Chicago babysitting ever put on screen, encountering a gang fight, surviving a stolen car black market, meeting a legendary superhero, Die Hard-esque skyscraper antics, and an improv blues break-downs.
