Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990) /The Sequel That Ate the Rulebook / The Search for More Money #2
Sam has spent years trying to get Nathan to watch Gremlins 2: The New Batch . At last, Nathan gives in, and filmmaker and actor Diana Porter joins them to sort through the chaos at Clamp Tower. Is Joe Dante’s 1990 sequel a gleeful act of creative rebellion, or does it throw away so many rules that there’s nothing left to hold onto? Nathan, Sam, and Diana get into the Looney Tunes nature of this film, Daniel Clamp, the parade of new Gremlins, and the movie’s habit of turning everything, including itself, into a joke. Diana also talks about her path from acting to directing, her collaborations with Michael Wisler, and their short films Subscribed , The Rewind , and Proxy . To close out the episode, all three reveal their Top 5 Movie Monsters , with picks ranging from childhood nightmares to creatures that still make them afraid to go in the water.
