Summary

More Gremlins, more problems! But that didn’t stop Joe Dante and Steven Spielberg from adding an endless stream of critters to the deranged 1984 Christmas classic.

Find out why parents were furious about the film, how it helped change the MPAA rating system forever, and why Tom Hanks isn’t in it.
