Gremlins (1984) | Ep. 6 - Part 2

The film's tonal whiplash, all cuddly one minute and carnage the next, was deliberate, and it drove some critics up the wall. Luke, Westy, and Matt continue the story as Kingston Falls descends into chaos.

We dig into the crew behind the film — Chris Columbus's screenplay, Jerry Goldsmith's mischievous score, and the puppetry and effects behind the gremlins — before breaking down the finale, the reception, the ratings controversy, and the legacy. Plus the hosts' final verdict and scores.

Part 1 is where it all stays sweet, briefly — Dante, the cast, the set-up. Go back for it.
