Welcome to the Retroist Gremlins Podcast. Today’s show is about the 1980s film classic, “Gremlins”. I start off talking about how terrifying seeing Gremlins was to me, but how it also became a great gateway horror film.
I discuss the origins and history of gremlins, those mythical creatures that inspired the movie. From folklore to the big screen, the concept of gremlins has a fascinating history.
Then we will move onto the movie, discussing how Gremlins was created, understanding the creative process and the vision of director Joe Dante. From the innovative puppetry to the unforgettable characters, every aspect of Gremlins has helped make Gremlins a beloved classic.
This episode was supposed to have a segment by a projectionist I hired to run the Retroist theater. But for the life of me, I have not been able to find him anywhere.
