0:00.0	Hey, everyone. This is Gus. So let you know, Chris and I were guests on another podcast
0:05.5	called Insidious Inspirations. We should have checked out the bonus episode where we
0:09.5	talk about movie realism with Nicole, but we thought you'd get a kick out of this podcast.
0:14.8	Chris and I both took part in. Check it out. We think you'll like it. And also, like I

1:41.2	malfunctions, crashes, and the solutions to ensure these disasters never occur again.
1:48.1	This week we'll be looking at the storied history of gremlins. Not the small furry companions
1:53.2	from Joe Dante's 1984 movie gremlins, or the strange man on the wing of Rob Sirling's
