<description>&lt;p&gt;Kicking off the first in our &lt;strong&gt;In Dreams &lt;/strong&gt;series of the CinePunked Podcast, a semi-regular exploration of dreams on screen is our exploration into Frederico Fellini&amp;#39;s 1963 surrealist classic &lt;em&gt;Otto E Mezzo &lt;/em&gt;(aka &lt;em&gt;8 1/2&lt;/em&gt;). A film within a film, an exploration of creativity, mental health crisis and hedonism, an Academy Award winner, a hugely influential work, and a discourse on the line between dreams, memory and reality.&lt;/p&gt;

<description>&lt;p&gt;CinePunked returns to the &lt;em&gt;Gremlins &lt;/em&gt;franchise with &lt;em&gt;Gremlins 2: The New Batch&lt;/em&gt;. Sequels are often seen as the poorer siblings, does &lt;em&gt;Gremlins 2&lt;/em&gt; follow that trend, or does it do something else? How did merchandising impact the film? And do we need or want a &lt;em&gt;Gremlins 3&lt;/em&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
