How to Survive: Gremlins (1984)

It's episode 70... and everybody's favourite metamorphosing pets... Gremlins (1984) tells the story of Billy, a young man whose father buys him a strange mystical pet for Christmas. Before long, Billy accidentally causes the pet to multiply, generating dozens of gremlins who terrorise his town - and its up to Billy to stop them. We talk about the importance of clear communication when the stakes are high; the simple mechanics of kicking small animals; and just how an inventor can be so badly wasted in a movie. All of which leads to one big question:  How would you survive? Whatever happens, one thing's for sure... I warned you. With podcast comes great responsibility. But you didn't listen. Another classic film solved by the best movie podcast in the world.
