Gremlins Director Joe Dante Talks The Film’s 35th Anniversary

Joe Dante, director behind Gremlins, is here with us to celebrate the film's 35th anniversary, and commemorate the 4K Blu-ray release on October 1st. He gets into some behind-the-scenes moments from making the film, collaborating with Steven Spielberg, and what it was like creating the film with the very first PG-13 rating.

During the main portion of the episode, Kevin was unfortunately unable to join us, but Jake and Sean get into the news of Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill all returning for Jurassic World 3, The Batman is reportedly looking at Jonah Hill for a role as a villain, and they've tapped Jeffrey Wright (Westworld) as their Commissioner Gordon. They also discuss Rambo: Last Blood, Jake not meeting George Lucas for the first time, and more.

For this week's game, we played #MoviePosterBlend, and discussed our favorite movie posters of all-time. Be sure to play along next week on Twitter using #JoaquinPhoenixBlend, and let us know your favorite performance from his long, amazing career.
