In which Stuart & Andy break a rule (or 3)...
We bring our 2023 festive season to a close, as fellow Haunted Nerd Andy Hanks joins us to discuss the 1984 Christmas black comedy creature feature; Gremlins.
For this one we tried something a little different and recorded the episode while we watched the film, kind of doing a watch along commentary. As a result, there are a couple of puases where we get a bit distracted by watching, but hopefully it still plays okay as a podcast.
