This week, Emma and Ally recap the festive chaos of Gremlins (1984), the ultimate holiday horror-comedy. From the adorable Gizmo to the devious Stripe, the hosts unwrap the bizarre rules of Mogwai ownership and debate whether this movie is the best PSA against impulse buying.

The hosts also unpack Phoebe Cates’ wildly dark Christmas monologue and discuss how this movie made an entire generation terrified of microwaves.

So, grab your eggnog, keep the snacks away, and join us for a nostalgic romp through one of the most chaotic Christmas classics ever made. Spoilers ahead—and maybe a gremlin or two in the studio.

37: Silver Bullet (1985)

It’s a full moon in Tarker’s Mills, and things are getting hairy—but not just because of the werewolf. This week, Emma is joined by The Producer, who’s filling in for Ally (don’t worry, she’s safe... for now).
Together, they sink their teeth into Silver Bullet (1985), a wild Stephen King adaptation where the biggest threat might actually be the town’s blood-alcohol content. Seriously, is everyone in this town drunk?

Howl with us through this fur-tastic episode. It’s Silver Bullet season, and things are about to get wild.
