The theme for Spike aka Spider Gremlins is Angel of Death by Slayer. An interesting fact about the song is Columbia Records who was the distributor for Def Jam, slayers label, refused to release the album because Angel of Death is about Dr. josef Mengele, the Nazi scientist who performed experiments on living people in the concentration camps. the album was eventually released by Geffen records but recieved pretty much no radio airplay.

Joe Dante really didn't want to do a sequel, but because the first Gremlins was such a big hit the studio kept pestering him. So five years later, he eventually agrees to give them the sequel they want, provided he has free reign to do basically whatever he liked. And he.. really ran with that. Hence the glorious insanity.

There is a novelization written after the first movie that give some lore for the Mogwai in the opening and shows us how intelligent Gizmo (and by proxy the others) actually are. They were created by an alien race to be pets but didn’t turn out right. Gizmo is good because he has a special recessive gene that gives him the intended calm demeanor. He also knows what would happen if he transformed and that he would lose that gene. Also, for the nostalgia theme park; go look up Defunctland’s VR project ;)

Apparently, in the last scene, where Forrester is hiding in the bathroom from Greta, the female gremlin, the script called for his pants to be torn and to have several lipstick "kisses" going up his leg. Picardo assumed they would just make a rubber stamp shaped like lips and stamp red ink on. But what actually ended up happening was a female propmaster put on a bright red shade of lipstick and kissed her way up his leg! Years later, he met the propmaster again and asked if she ever told her husband that she had kissed his leg. She said no, she hadn't. ;)

The mogwai have an insane origin in the novelization of the first movie. They’re genetic creations by an alien scientist. They were meant to be dispersed throughout the galaxy promoting peace, which is why they look cute. Most of them being evil and their ability to turn into gremlins are defects. Only one in every 10k or 100k or something are good, and Gizmo is one of those. That Mohawk trivia was a bit simplified. He’s a reincarnation of Stripe and he remembers Gizmo killing him, hence why he’s mostly torturing him while the others cause havoc There’s gonna be an animated prequel show about Gizmo meeting a young Mr Wing

16:18 I put a ketchup packet into a microwave once because I thought it warm up the ketchup inside. But apparently those packets have metal of some sort because electric bolts started zapping inside my microwave lol.

So the suction cup comment is a reference to a really popular toy in the 80s. A stuffed Gizmo with suction cups on his limbs. That way you could stick it onto a car window and stair out at passers by.

HBO Max has an animated Gremlins tv series called "Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai". The series is a prequel to the first movie and is set in 1920s Shanghai, China. The story revolves around a boy named Sam, who later becomes the grandfather to the person who sells Billy's father Gizmo.

Someone probably mentioned this already but the VHS release had an alternate "interruption" scene. Instead of Hulk Hogan, you got John Wayne. And in the novelisation you had the smart gremlin lock the author out of his study and hijack the typewriter. And then the author uses a fire axe to break the door.

To answer your question at 16:20, when I was a kid, I took a stick of butter out of the fridge and put it in the microwave on a low setting for a few seconds to soften it up slightly. What I forgot was that the butter had a foil wrapper, so it started a tiny fire which I immediately doused by tossing a cup of water onto it. It was not a big deal, but it freaked my sister out.

the suctioncup dolls wasn't a furby reference. there were millions of suction cup gizmo and gremlins in car windows in the eighties. my mom had one. the first toy I gave to my child was a stuffed gizmo.

OMG that ride must have been EVERYTHING. loved your reaction! The note on the Looney Tunes was really smart, I remember when this came out so much time had passed since the original there was all this meta stuff to pull from years reactions to that first one, it was very cool.

The new Gremlins have been given names by fans and were considered as reincarnation of Gremlins from the first movie. Daffy (named after Daffy Duck) is a reincarnation of the Gremlin killed in the blender which could explain his craziness. George and Lenny are named the main characters from 'Of Mice and Men'. George is a reincarnation of the Gremlin that was killed in the microwave which could explains how he recognises the microwave. Not sure which Gremlin Lenny is a reincarnation of though. Mowhawk is definitely a reincarnation of Stripe hence the stripe of white fur on his head.

Stripe and Mowhawk are voiced by Frank Welker- most famous for voicing Freddy in Scooby Doo. He does a ton of voice over work. He is the cave of wonder voice in Aladdin. He also voiced Claw in Inspector gadget and was on Muppet Babies with Howie Mandel. They voiced the male and female twins, Skeeter and Scooter. Frank also voiced the troll in Cat's Eye, he Vs. Drew Berrymore and her cat with a tiny sword!

I've been wanting to see your reaction to this one. I remember you liking the first one (aside from the chimney thing). I also got the impression that you appreciated the self aware/4th wall kind of moments in movies, so I figured this one would be a good choice for you! Glad you enjoyed it!

21:14---The Hulk Hogan cameo was actually lost for over a decade until GREMLINS 2 came out on DVD because Dante had a special version made up as a VCR TAPE tearing up (then Gremlins would continue to change channels until they're shot by "John Wayne")

Please, DO NOT get the idea of throwing metal objects in your microwave, it will in fact end very badly. When I first saw this movie, it wasn't actually the Hulk Hogan but a segment with John Wayne ending up in a gunfight with the Gremlins and they tell him to "eat lead buttwipe" 🤣 🤣 😂

Cool part is that all of Gizmo's effects are practical puppets: where he's seen running or dancing is done with a rod puppet on green screen. This was one of my favorite nostalgic film-going experiences because GREMLINS 2 was the first time I went to our town's local Drive-In Theater (still running today). Most complain it wasn't as "scary" as the original, but frankly, I love both equally

I remember seeing the home video version first where it's the Gremlins changing the channel and movie on you, and then being so surprised to hear that my friend who had seen it in theaters said there was a scene where Hulk Hogan showed up. I finally saw the Hulk Hogan version when the movie came to cable.
