Ep 159 Gremlins Rip-Offs

from The Pink Smoke podcast Hosted by The Pink Smoke

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! We want to see those party-loving goobers! The Pink Smoke on X: x.com/thepinksmoke Christopher Funderburg on X: x.com/CFunderburg John Cribbs on X: x.com/thelastmachine
