In this festive episode of Girl Horror Podcast, we’re unwrapping the holiday classic Gremlins to reveal its darker underbelly. In Gremlins Unwrapped: Christmas, Consumerism, and the Repressed Feminine, we explore how the film critiques the commercial frenzy of the season while exposing hidden anxieties about femininity and domesticity in the 1980s.

From the chaos unleashed by Gizmo’s mischievous offspring to the layered symbolism of Mrs. Deagle’s and Mrs Peltzer - not to mention Kate - we’ll discuss how Gremlins blends horror, humor, and festive cheer to deliver a subversive take on tradition.

Whether you love this iconic horror-comedy for its creepy critters or its biting social commentary, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on why Gremlins remains a seasonal favorite for girl horror fans everywhere.
