Show notes
We continue our interview with Joe Dante this week as we talk about Gremlins, one of a pair of Steven Spielberg-related films that brought about the PG-13 rating in 1984. We also discuss Gremlins 2: The New Batch, one of the most subversive sequels ever made.
We're joined again this week by Chris Cummins (opens in a new tab) of Topless Robot (opens in a new tab) and Geekadelphia (opens in a new tab).
Don't listen to this podcast after midnight.
