Have you heard of Gremlins? It's ok if you haven't, Chris will introduce it to you and we'll have an awesome Watch & Talk!
What makes Gremlins such a timeless cult classic? How does this offbeat mix of comedy and horror perfectly capture the essence of the holiday season? Join us for a special Watch & Talk hosted by Chris, a filmmaker, who’s selected some of his favorite scenes from this 1984 gem. We’ll explore the themes of the film, from its quirky take on consumerism and the holiday spirit to the line between lighthearted comedy and genuine horror. Gremlins isn’t just a Christmas movie; it’s a subversive commentary on the chaos that can come with unchecked desire and the consequences of breaking rules. Plus, we’ll dive into how it balances humour and terror in a way few films can.
Whether you're revisiting Gremlins or seeing it for the first time, this session promises a fun and thought-provoking discussion about its lasting cultural impact. Through Chris's curated scenes, we’ll unpack the film’s unique charm, its satirical edge, and its influence on the horror-comedy genre. It’s the perfect opportunity to share your thoughts, laugh at the mayhem, and discover why Gremlins still holds a special place in the hearts of audiences today.
Let’s sit back with good friends in comfy chairs as we sip on stiff cocktails, eat tasty popcorn, and watch scenes from this beloved cult classic that blends holiday cheer with chaotic fun. And, of course, let’s have a deep, fun, and intelligent discussion about our shared journey through the magic, fun and wonderful weirdness of Gremlins!
