Summary

Who’s to blame for the Gremlins?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes back Mary Grill to discuss the horrifyingly funny 1980’s holiday classic, Gremlins. It’s cute, it’s campy, it’s cringe. Heck, it’s Christmas! Could being too cute be deadly? Are Gremlins just a manifestation of the ugliness that’s inside all of us?  And why is everyone so completely blinded by their capitalistic ways that they don’t recognize the extreme danger right in front of them? Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join this horrifically holiday conversation.
