| 0:00.0 | 198. 1984. A few days before Christmas, struggling inventor Randall Peltzer arrived home to his family |
| 0:31.9 | with an early Christmas present for his son, Billy, a pet, something he picked up in a store in Chinatown, |
| 0:39.4 | a small, adorable furry creature called a Maguire. |
| 0:45.7 | What is it? |
| 0:46.9 | It's your new pet. |
| 0:48.6 | Billy names him Gizmo, and Gizmo seems like the perfect pet. |
| 0:53.4 | He's cute, he's cuddly, he loves watching old horror movies, |
| 0:57.1 | and he even loves to sing. But there are three vital rules that Billy must obey when it comes |
| 1:07.1 | to owning a mogwai. Never expose him to bright light, never get him wet, and never |
| 1:15.0 | ever feed him after midnight. Join me as we continue exploring the evolution of nature in horror, and we discuss two |
| 1:31.5 | horror Christmas classics, Gremlins and Gremlins too, the new batch. |

| 1:53.7 | genre, one subgenre at a time. We are currently in the middle of our 10th season, exploring the |
| 2:00.4 | evolution of nature, biting back in horror. |
| 2:03.6 | And this is a little Christmas bonus special, something that fits neatly into the NatureBites back season that I've been holding off from releasing until nearer the holidays. |
| 2:14.6 | So as it's less than one week until Christmas, here is your bonus |
| 2:19.7 | Nature Bytes back episode in which we are going to be discussing, as that intro suggested, |
| 2:25.9 | Gremlins from 1984 and Gremlins to the New Batch from 1990. Both of these discussions |
| 2:33.0 | will be spoilerific. Give yourself a Christmas treat. Why wouldn't you? |
| 2:37.0 | Go and watch these films before listening to our discussion. Now, Gremlins from 1984, I actually did |
| 2:43.4 | discuss with friend of the pod Alex Ailing six years ago, I've realized. It was Christmas 2018 |
