Don't expose them to the light. Don't get them wet. And no matter what, don't feed them after midnight! We are reviewing Gremlins this Halloween! And subbing in for Steve, we have Megan's brother Tim, who was also part of our 50th episode extravaganza. 

Gremlins is a comedy-horror film. It was written by Chris Columbus, directed by Joe Dante, and produced by Steven Spielberg. Starring Zach Galligan and Phoebe Cates, we follow the story of Billy, who receives a cute, furry creature called a Mogwai for Christmas. Things go downhill very quickly as the Mogwai gives way to a crop of lizard-like goblins who cause murder and mayhem throughout the small town. 

We also enjoy this week's non-sponsored snack, Snapple! We talk about the history of the company and Wendy, the beloved "Snapple Lady" before talking about the making of Gremlins and the history of the film. 

Do we still love Snapple? Did Tim enjoy the movie or was he scared? When we laughed, were we laughing with the movie or at it? Listen to find out!
