As everyone knows, there are three VERY important rules when discussing the Gremlins films: 1) Don't illuminate the dark shadows of 80's capitalism, Amblin entertainment and small town Americana. 2) Don't water down the conversation with our irrational fears of kid-sized monsters. 3) Most importantly, don't feed the myth of Orientalism through some dated stereotypes that would make Edward Said's head spin. Of course it's way more fun to break all of these with our guest the fantastic Jake Young ( twitter.com/BestJakeYoung ) of The Wizard and the Bruiser podcast!! ( https://spoti.fi/3g31F3I ) You can tell us your rules for watching holiday horrors by emailing us in at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or survive a war by becoming war on our Twitter feed at www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod!
