| 0:00.0 | I'm Travis Hunter, joined as always by my co-host, my sister, and my brother-in-law. |
| 0:34.2 | Hi, I'm Renee Hunter Vasquez. Hi, I'm John Paul Vasquez. This week, we're broadcasting live from a farmhouse in Grover's Bend, Kansas, |
| 0:41.5 | discussing the 1986 comedy horror film, Critters. |
| 0:45.5 | This film was directed by Stephen Herrick from a screenplay by Herrick and Dominic Muir. |
| 0:50.9 | Critters combines elements of science fiction, comedy, and horror to deliver a charming creature feature reminiscent of films' past. |
| 0:58.3 | Immediately drawing comparisons to Gremlin's, which was released two years prior, this film overcomes the label of being a simple copy paste. |
| 1:06.2 | With a great cast, unique story choices, and memorable creature design, Critters garnered cult status over the |

| 1:53.2 | We're covering it for the show and I've watched it a few times since then and yeah, man, |
| 1:58.5 | I don't know what it is, but it just grows on me. |
| 2:00.5 | Every time I watch it, I'm like, man, I'm really enjoying this movie, even more than when I watched it two days ago. |
| 2:07.0 | I don't know how, but... |
| 2:08.1 | You watched it two days ago? |
