A spirited discussion about Gremlins 2 (1990).

Trending viral number one podcast Marvelous! Or the Death of Cinema trending viral number one movie Avatar: The Way of Water.  I see you. Yes, you. Eywa knows what you've done and she's ashamed of you. On christmas no less. Do the Na'vi celebrate christmas? Or is it more of a Life Day situation. Your sins aside, we're back on Pandora with our buddy wandering filmic troubadour John Delillo talking the Way of Water. We all loved it even more than we love the idea of having 9 foot tall blue wives (or husbands).

The cynics strike back! Guest Alice Moody joins the gang for the ritual slaughter of a sacred cow, the Widely awarded, critically lauded and enormously popular Everything Everywhere All at Once. Along the way we try and examine what what made this movie so popular, and what puts us in the small minority of people who dislike (or even hate) it - ranging from the writing and production, to it's absurdist and 'metamodern' philosophical underpinnings, and the 'whimsical, sincere' sensibility that seems to rub us the wrong way. Alice's piece, 'Contrarianism Isn't Real'.   An extra special thanks to our $10 Executive Producers: JetChiclete, Isaac, squishward, Walt Lewellyn of The Black Casebook, Tropical Doves, Lohik, bernventers, and Owen2.  If you can, please lend some support to these organizations: Gaza Funds PCRF (Palestinian Children's Relief Fund) MAP (Medical Aid for Palestinians) National Networks of Abortion Funds If you enjoy the show please consider: Subscribing to our Patreon, where you can enjoy exclusive subscriber only episodes.
