Ep 126: "Gremlins" Revisited

What’s worse: The microwave massacre or the “dad died in the chimney” story? Join Brian and Christina as they discuss all the pop-culture PTSD from Gremlins.<br />Back in 1984, the movie was a funny, frightening smash that charmed audiences – but angered many parents with it’s pivot from Mogwai mystery to full-on holiday horror flick.<br />But now, decades later, what is it all really that big of a deal? Aren’t we tougher now? Were we all just overreacting like Billy’s mom did in that kitchen scene? The Old Roommates take a middle-aged look at Gizmo, Stripe, and the ever-lasting trauma of the Steven Spielberg smash.
