Gremlins (1984) / Subversive Holiday Films #4 / Anti-Consumerism Films

Season's greetings from Back to the Frame Rate! As we bid farewell to the holiday season, we culminate with a discussion on the timeless classic, Joe Dante's 1984 horror-comedy 'Gremlins.' The subtext of consumerism and anti-capitalism is cleverly woven into this beloved film. In our Recommendation Shelf segment, we present a curated selection of films that further explore these thematic threads. Heartfelt thanks to our subscribers and followers for making our inaugural year of podcasting incredibly rewarding. Your support means the world to us!
