Hello everybody. Welcome to the Flop House mini edition. That is, instead of a regular full length talking about a movie episode of the Flop House, this is our mini episode of the Flop House. We do it on alternate weeks and we just kind of do whatever we want. We've got an exciting special guest today. We're going to talk about some real dumb stuff. But first, I want to talk to my co-hosts.

Guys, introduce yourselves, co-hosts. Guys, introduce yourselves co-hosts. Oh, Dan McCoy. Stuart Wellington. And I love Stu. You really gave Dan the business. Speaking of business, Dan, I believe we have some exciting flop house related business to announce at the top of this mini. Yeah, that we're doing a slate of streaming shows. We're handling this a little differently. So we're gonna do six shows, what, in total, one a month for six successive months and they're all gonna be on the first Saturday of the month except for in September

where we moved to the second Saturday for Labor Day and to make it confusing for people. And it's gonna be a slate full of flop house faves, movies that are often referenced on the flop house or, you know, we, people have requested them, but not movies we've ever covered. We've never done them before. These are unexplored stars in the bad movie firmament for us. Yes. And the thing that's a little new about it is there's going to be a little shorter. There's not going to be like full live shows. We're doing this under the sort of slogan of flop TV once a month, one hour version of

a flop house show. And you can see any individual show. You can get tickets for seven bucks. And if you want to see the whole season, you can get a season path for 35 bucks, which is a discount on buying them all individually. That's like getting one show for free. Exactly. Exactly. I tried to, if that's going to be a flop house hour, that's like a normal hour and a half for a regular person, right? I mean, it probably would be an hour and a half for us ultimately, two. But it won't be the, it won't be the three, they'll make it two and a half hours for a normal person. Yeah, it won't be one of the three hour

slavern optimers that we're used to doing for our live streaming shows. I'm excited about it. Six live streaming shows. Dan, what are the movies that we're going to be covering? Well, I got the list right here. The first one on August 5th is Beastmaster 2. Through the portal of time? Through the portal of time. Not the portal of time, it's Sub-May of Claims. But the portal of time on September 9th. Cool world.

Have you ever wished this world would be a goolier? Yes. Well, Holly, what if she could? What would Holly if she could? We'll find out. I never understood it. Hopefully murder me. October 7th, we're doing a double feature of meat fast food titled movies. We've got Hot Dog the movie and hamburger, the motion picture. Mm-hmm.

Yummy. Yummy. November the 4th, we'll do over the top, the sliced, blown arm wrestling picture. Maybe the greatest sports movie ever made or is it terrible? We'll find out. December 2nd, ballistic, X versus 7, one of the most confusingly named movies. I've never seen it either. I don't know what, I mean, apparently X is versus sever in it, that's all I know.

And it's ballistic guys. It's the ballistic as hell. And on January 6th, Nukey, the movie, the Elliott, has warned people not to see. We're gonna be fucking. The second worst movie I've ever seen, we will be watching it and talking about it. So I'm excited guys.

Flop TV, it's like a TV show version of the flop house. One Saturday a month for six months, I think it's going to be super fun. What do you guys think? You guys can be good or terrible. I hope it's going to be good guys. I need to win, but you can dip in and out. You can buy a season pass. Yeah.

And instead of experience, it's an experiment we're doing. Like if this goes well, maybe we'll do another season. If it does it, maybe it'll go down the memory hole and then it's spoken up again. Definitely goes well. Yeah, yeah, when it definitely goes well, it'll be part of flop nation going forward. Anyway, so that was our big announcement.

But wait, Dan, but Dan. Oh, who? We're in our audience, find tickets was our big announcement. But wait, Dan, but Dan, we're can, we're can our audience find tickets and other information. Yes, that's a good point. There is a website that will give you better information than I just gave you. You can read it. You can buy tickets. It is the flopphouse.simpletics.com or if you find this easier to remember, tinyurl.com slash flopphouselive.

So go to either the flopphouse.simpletics.com or tinyurl.com slash flopphouselive. I'll put a link in the show notes, of course. You'll be able to find it at the website. So don't stress if you didn't get those. But, Allie, back to what we're the website. So, you know, don't stress if you didn't get those. But, Ali, back to what we're doing today. Our today's business.

Speaking of business. We've dealt with new business, business that's so new, it hasn't even happened yet. I'm excited about those shows. I can't wait to see them and do them. But today, we're doing another exciting show. It's our mini. And today, we're doing a special mini

about our favorite miniature monsters. That's right, the Gremelings. And today, we're talking a special mini about our favorite miniature monsters. That's right, the Gremlins. And today, we're talking, have a very special guest with us. That's right, executive producer of the current television series, Gremlins, Secrets of the Magwai. Brendan Haye is here to join us to talk about Gremlins. Brendan, thanks so much for joining us. Tell us, when did you first get involved with the Grammlands?

What's your earliest memory of Grammlands? Talk to us about Grammlands. I'll tell you all about Grammlands. Thank you guys for having me. Grammlands have been in my life almost as long as I can remember. Since my older cousins took me to see the movie when I was like six in the theater and it scarred me in a wonderful way.

Kind of just infected me with a love for horror comedy that has never been fully-satiated. Just keep going for it every time. Yeah, I love Grandlands and luckily got the chance to work on this show and been doing it since 2019. And now people finally get to see it, which is a really fun enjoy. And it's been nice that people are digging it.

And where can this show be seen? It can be seen on everyone's kind of most friendly named streaming service of Max. Max, now I'm so shaking with HBO in some ways. You know what? It's like, it knows HBO. I don't think this way. Okay, they're friends. It's kind of a Clark Kent superman relationship, I think with HBO.

Oh, HBO is when Max wears glasses, I say. Yeah, exactly, exactly. Yeah. I'm saying boo to only the corporate parent of that streaming service and not at all to the show as a registered member who's on strike. Max is my enemy and especially the head of the company is my enemy. But later at the show, I don't get Brendan in trouble. Well, if it helps at all, here's the nice thing.

Gremlins is a member of a IOTC. It's an animation guild show. So we are covered by entirely other unions, and of course, we stand in solidarity with our WGA brothers and sisters. But it is also governed under it. We'll be going on strike basically next year when our contract is up. That sounds great. And I will say last year at San Diego Comic Con,

my son and I saw the first episode of Gremlins Secrets of the Magwai, when you had a, Brennan was on a panel there and it was really fun. And I'm looking forward to sharing the whole series with him. My son has never seen the movies too scary, but I think he's gonna live. What about the Santa Monica log? What? What about the Santa Monica log from Phoebe case?

No, if you should have part-time. I shared that with my children, yeah, of course, yeah. The most disturbing part. Yeah. No, I watched the first couple episodes and we both, we both enjoyed it very much, but Audrey was like, this is going to scare children. I'm like, yes, that's the beauty of brilliance. That's the point.

Exactly. It should be every day in a skateway. We actually got this weekend a letter passed onto us that was written by a 10 year old that had his parents pass it on via social media about how we're too scary. And we should think of smaller children and babies that could be watching. Babies. That's what we are thinking is that. As soon as the baby's.

Clearly, we are not thinking of the babies. Go watch the Super Mario Brothers movie. Yeah. The ironic thing is, so Gremlins, if anyone who's not familiar with it, Gremlins is a movie from 1984 that's amazing. And it's about little green monsters that attack people and kill them and also get killed in horrible ways. And when I was a kid, I loved it. And then it was like I turned, I think I must have been five or six when I first saw it. And then when I turned around eight, it became scary to me.

Like I suddenly realized what was going on in the movie. And then it took me a couple years before I could watch it again. And it was like, I understood the stakes at that point. Exactly. Like, oh, when the mean old lady flies out of her house and lands face down in the snow and never gets up again that she's dead now. Yeah, it was scared. It's like, no, Billy's going to lose his job at the bank. Yeah. That is what scared me. Yeah.

He's not even pursuing his artistic dreams full time. Oh, no. And like, Gremlins too came out and like, oh, thank goodness. At least now we'll see Billy as a working artist. And I'm like, well, he is, but he's doing kind of, he's not doing the kind of work he really cares about. He's not speaking with a soul. He took the safe route.

Yeah, and Dan was upset that like the Gremlins are destroying a beautiful corporate building. It's just shining that this Trump surrogate is having his building destroyed. He goes, the Gremlins are attacking a corporation. Why that's a person. How dare they? I mean, the only bad thing I can say about Grimmlands too is that it makes its Trump surrogate so lovable. Yes. Yeah.

That's true. Yeah. So the, what's his name? John Glover. John Glover. Daniel Glover. Daniel Glover. Daniel Glover.

Daniel Glover. Daniel Glover is Daniel Glover. Daniel Glover. Daniel Glover. Daniel Glover. Daniel Glover. Daniel Glover. Daniel Glover. Daniel Glover. Daniel Glover.

Daniel Glover. Daniel Glover. Daniel Glover. Daniel Glover. Daniel Glover. Daniel Glover. Daniel Glover. Daniel Glover. Daniel Glover. Daniel Glover. important movie to me going up also. And that's why with Brendan here with us today, I wanted to talk Remlins with you guys, but also we're grownups now. And if I've learned anything from the current media ecosystem, it's that when I grow up, the things that I love to say kid, I don't have to let go of them.

I can drag them into adulthood with me and make them more mature and more grown up in adults. So today, we're gonna be taking Remlins and we're gonna be adulting it up. Cause that's right guys, it's time for me to lay on you the top 10 sexiest gremlins. That's right, it's the countdown you've been waiting for.

We're gonna go all the way from 10 down to number one, which of the individual gremlins from the movie gremlins, no human characters allowed, is objectively the sexiest. Guys, tell me your thoughts. So you ready for this. You ready to, I should have put a parent or an advisory on this one. We are going to be talking

about sexy gremlins and kids might not be ready for that because that's the other letter that you got, right? Was you got a letter from the kids saying this show is too sexy. I think that's a baby. No, that letter was from a baby who said actually could be a little sexier. Oh, I see. Okay. Yeah, that makes sense. Babies love sex. It's how they get made. Yeah. So, look, if anybody knows it.

Guys, what's your, what are your feelings about what we're going to talk about today? I'm like a nervous anticipation. Just like a little when performing the act of sex. Yeah, we're excited. And a little afraid, right? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So, let's, why don't we just start if you guys are ready? And a little afraid, right? Yeah. Constantly. Yeah, yeah.

So let's, why don't we just start if you guys are ready. Let's start with number 10 on the 60. As Gremlins count down. Okay. Down to the barrel. We can at least look a little grub. I mean, maybe. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no There's a lot of gremlins that did not make it onto this list. Let's just say phantom of the opera face Gremlin from Gremlins 2 didn't make it onto the list. Wow, that's crazy because he's a dark bad boy. That's right. He's romantic.

The leader of the bad guy, Gremlins and Gremlins 2 also didn't make it onto the list. Wow. Even when he's a spider, he could hug you multiple times with all those legs. You know what? I should give a caveat. It's pre-spider's spike is not on this list. You'll see it's okay. Okay.

Okay. He becomes a different person as far as I'm concerned or a different Gremlin. Well, let's just start with it. Okay. Number 10. So this is not bottom of the barrel. This is the least one. This is the worst of the best.

I get it. The worst of the best, exactly. Number 10, you know, it's Daffy Gremlin. The Gremlin from Gremlins to kind of a maniac. He's silly. He's got a great sense of humor. But he's also a dentist as we see in one scene scene and that's a stable job, which makes him a good provider. So, Daffy, Gremlin, what do you think about him? Yeah, I mean, I guess you know,

says humor is important to a lot of people in a mate. I don't know if it's sexy per se. He's got those googly eyes. He never know where he's looking. And there's something kind of intriguing about that. Yeah, I mean, I do, like, I assume that there are people out there with industry fantasies. So we got that going for you. Yeah, what you say, too. Yeah, I mean, he wears a mask and his dentist thing. He, yeah, I mean, he's got those beautiful eyes that like, you never know if he's going to look into your eyes or just looking into space or both. He's got a little

bit of hair. You can stare into those eyes. Whatever that is. It's a point to do. Like a crust. Yeah. It's some of the best hair of the gremlins because let's face it, most of them have none. Yeah. He's definitely like top to your on that. As retails, most of them don't have hair, but he does, and yeah, it's fabulous. He takes care of it. He makes my skin come. He makes my skin come. So he's got confidence.

He's constantly peacocking. Yeah. So that's number 10, Daffy Gremlin. I think you all agree. Number 10, number nine. Ooh, it's going to make this one. It makes some people mad that he's so low on the list. It might be even a little shocking.

That's right, it's electric Gremlin. The Gremlin G would still, through the power of chemistry, is somehow turned into a bioelectric form that can go into a phone and be trapped in a voicemail system. Only to call it up later. He's, look, he's glamorous, he does nobody the laws of physics, and that is pretty erotic. But he's just going to hurt you in the end. And that's why he's down at number nine. You know, he's good for a one night stand, maybe if you don't get burned.

So potentially survives the decimation of the gremlins at the end of the second move. Yeah. That's what I was going to say. That was my lunch table discussion in fifth or actually, sorry, summer discussion in fifth grade that has still never been resolved. What are your thoughts? Does he survive the end of gremlins too? I feel like he does. Because we don't see him after he zaps all the other Gremlins, right? Yeah, that's true, but, uh, yeah, I guess you're right. There's nothing like. Do you think by spreading out that much, maybe he has a larger experience pool and he becomes like a Dr. Mann hat and type figure? Yeah, yeah. He's now running loose through time.

Oh, that's where there's that meme of him on the moon. Yeah, I just sort of assumed that being, you know, split everywhere at once kind of dispersed whatever, you know, biometric was keeping him together. That's true, yeah. It's all science. It's all science. He's injected with a chemical that makes him electric.

This is that the splice of life genetics lab, which is in this giant mall slash office building slash television studio. And he, uh, if it wasn't for government restrictions, any of us could go to our local grocery store and get a thing of that and inject ourselves and become living electric people. Oh, that would be a no, but finally, he doesn't want us to be electric people. Oh, what a better world that would be. No, but family doesn't want us to be electric people. Basically, they're bioshopped. Yeah. Yeah.

Uh, so that's number nine, super sexy, but you know what, safety first, that's what I say, safety first. Uh, number eight, this grandma's got a lot of mystery behind him. That's because we never see him on screen. That's right. He's the shadow puppet, Gremlin in Grem 2, who wrecks the film and then does it, it's the third shadow puppet Gremlin, the one who does Abraham Lincoln shadow with his hands,

not just because I'm an Abraham Lincoln fan, but if he can do that with his hands, what else does he have to do with his hands? Sure, very very very Zolman King type Gremlin. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, a lot of fluttering sheer accurtenes and things like that. Soft lighting. Here's the thing though, you don't actually see his face. So you don't know how attractive

he is and call me shallow, but looks matter to me when it comes to Gremlins. So how do you guys feel about it? Can you overlook that because you know that that shadow puppet Gremlin is able to do amazing things with those claws of his? I think he's a good one night stand Grem, because I think it's going to be, this is a nice novelty. Oh, you're really into like not touching. You want to just give me a mind orgasm with your imagery and stuff like that. Sure, yeah. Second or third time though, no, just it's not going to cut it. You can only be edged so much. Exactly.. You're presuming that on this date with said, Grimland, he would, or she would, I mean, I guess there's only the one female Grimland.

I mean, it's so hard to say like our, our, all Grimland's sexless until that, well, we'll get there. Because they, because they don't be so sure. They reproduce through budding through moisture-induced budding. So yeah, they are, they don't, it re-produced through sexuality. They have no genitalia as far as we know. They're, and they're naked. So yes, they have no genitalia.

But on the other hand, they flash Phoebe Cates, I think multiple times. Right. So what are they showing? It's hard to know. Well, I just wanted to add, I mean, you presume that on this date, this Grimland is going to stay behind a scrim the entire time. And I just like a like a like a like a mixologist in a assault like city bar before they changed the law. It's back in the day if you want to get a cocktail because of Mormon law. So

you had to like they'd like mix your drink or pour your drink behind a screen. And then they'd serve it to you. That girl would be great at that. He would be. He would be. That's great. Now, here's the thing. The shadow of a Gremlin. I like to imagine that he looks like the 3D glasses movie, Gremlin, from the first movie because that Gremlin is a snack. Yeah. Yeah. Speaking of snacks, what a great segue. Let's go to number seven, vegetable Gremlin. He's a salad. Obviously reasons healthy and organic, also a literal snack. You can't go wrong with vegetable Gremlin. Guys, give me your thoughts on veggie, Graham.

So is the premise when you inject yourself with that serum, vegetables grow out of your body. It doesn't necessarily turn you into one big vegetable. No, I think it turns you into a cornucopia vegetables. His ears become lettuce leaves, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah. And I think he keeps reproducing. If he does get harvested, it seems that he keeps growing more.

Yeah. Like that bartender, Gremlin picks off his head. He's both a grower and a shower. He shows off his vegetables that he grows more. Yeah. Like that bartender, Gremlin picks off his head. He's both a grower and a shower. He shows off his vegetables that he grows more. Yeah. Yeah. Very rare. I mean, I don't want to get too much to the mechanics of this, but yeah, I mean, he is, he is growing a number of sort of phallic objects on his face, the carrots and all the other. Oh, I'm just saying they could be put to use. And I'll just leave it there.

He's more practical. Okay, Dan, let's, let's not get, let's get our minds out of the cup for a moment. Let's not, let's not be too vulgar. This, we are talking about the top 10 sexiest gremlins, but still, yeah, but you totally could use one of those. I'm sorry. I thought this was an after dark program. It's not the top 10 gremlins who fuck.

It's the top 10 sexiest. It's more about the teas. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I'm, it shows you what a big impression Gremlins two made on me that the vegetable Gremlin is so clear in my mind. There's a YouTube video with all the vegetable Gremlins scenes and it's less than a minute and a half long.

Oh, yeah. It's the regular. Is it like a fan cam? Yeah, something like that. And this one, this description says all the scenes at the vegetable grandma and the movie grandma and the movie, including deleted scenes. And it's the less than a minute and a half long. So a real boba fat of the movie, not a lot of screen time, but a big presence.

Number six, we're going to go to a break pretty soon, but number six, coming up is the next one before that break. Come on guys, you know what number six has to be. Can you guess it? Can you guess what number six is going to be the sexiest sexiest, sexiest, Gremlin? That's it. That's a plenty. No. Here's right. Here's a hint. It's right.

Here's a hint. It's a Gremlin you can have sex with in daylight. Obviously. Yep. there's only one. Obviously. Yep, it's the bat, Gremlin. That's right. The bat, Gremlin, he can go out during the day. Can't underestimate that. This is finally a Gremlin.

You can take to Sunday brunch with your gal pals and you're giggling the whole time because they don't know that you just had sex right before the brunch. Yep. Yep. Now, yes, it may be a little bit difficult that he is now a giant concrete covered gargoyle on St. Patrick's Cathedral, thanks to the work of one Murray footerman, the enemy of all Gremlins. But it's, you know what, just chipping him out of there and, you know, go wild. He's the background one, you know, he's got one.

Yeah, do you think he's still okay inside that, that chill? I have to assume he's doing fine since Gremlins, they seem to like to eat, but I don't think they need to eat. I don't know if they need air. And I think, here's my fantasy about him, is he just takes those wings and just wraps them around me and nobody can see what's going on. Just like Rodan's Memorial Statue to Paulsac, which has that cape just covering it all up. So back, Rodanlin, back, Rodanlin guys, do you have any, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back,

back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back series. These are actually the questions people have. You are really revealing all the secrets of the Magwai and their associated Gremlin colleagues.

That's amazing. I want to make it clear. I said, Rodan, they're co-workers. When I said Brodan, I meant the sculptor and not the giant monster who does have wings just like Bat Gremlin and is also super sexy. Did the monster have a memorial or a tribute to Ballsack? Yeah, I don't know that the monster was able to carve that bronze memorial to Ballsack as a ghost Rodin did. So guys, that's the tops, the bottom five, sexiest Gremlins. Again, reminding you before we go to break number 10, Daffy Gremlin, number nine electric, electric Gremlin, number eight, Shadow Public to the break, number 10, Daffy, Gremlin, number nine electric electric, electric Gremlin, number eight, shadow puppet Gremlin, number seven vegetable

Gremlin, number six, bet Gremlin. Before we go to the break, guys, any surprises, any things that are really, you didn't expect to see on the list of top 10 sexiest Gremlins. I mean, shadow puppet Gremlin was a surprise, but not an unwelcome one. Okay. And Brandon, what about you? I did not see shadow Gremlin coming at all. That was a huge surprise. Okay. And Brendan, what about you? I did not see Shadow Gremlin coming at all. That was a huge surprise. Yeah. Although any, like they have a talent, which is, which

is attractive. Oh, yeah. Very much. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They can perform. And he was a dark horse candidate. But again, it is dark where he is just a shadow, you know? It's true. And Gremlins like the dark. Yeah. Now here's the thing. He also got the attention of one Hulk Hogan and you know that that's not nothing. Yeah. Yeah. If you could just do it. Paul Bartel and Hulk Hogan at once. Mm hmm. You're right. Let a threesome. Paul Bartel Hulk Hogan the shadow Gremlin. Because Hulk literally ripped starts ripping his clothes off as soon as he sees the shadow, Gremlin, he just can't control himself. It's, it's not a match known for being able to control. So I'm in all self control. Otherwise not a man who is gets in trouble nearly constantly for his actions.

The now, Vegding, Paul Bartell, I'm imagining eating Raoul, but it's all Gremlins. That they're, that they're seducing and killing and eating. Anyway, guys, let's take a break. but it's all gremlins that they're seducing and killing and eating. Anyway, guys, let's take a break. We'll get back to our top five sexiest gremlins after this. Dan, I believe you have a word from our sponsor. Yeah, talking about eating. You don't have to eat Raoul.

You don't have to eat vegetables off of veggie gremlin. If you're looking for some nutritious meal substitute or a meal replacement, why don't you go with a soy lent.

Class meets every other Thursday on Maximum Fun. So do I still get credit for this? Ha ha ha! No! Obviously not, no. It's a podcast. Dear reading glasses, it's been years since I've been able to read. I missed it so much that I had no idea where to start.

I felt so overwhelmed. But thanks to your show, now I'm back to enjoying books again and feeling like a reader. Love, Sarah. Yeah, that's an email we actually answered. Okay, maybe not that email specifically, but one just like it because most of our listeners are named Sarah. We're reading glasses and we're here to solve all your reader problems. We give advice, help you find books you love, and discuss reading without making you feel pressured. No matter what you read or how you read it will help you do it better. Reading

glasses every week on maximum fun. Okay, guys, those were our messages. Now it's back to top 10 sexiest gremlins brought to you by the flop house with special guest, Brendan Haye. We actually, there's a bit of a controversy over on the flop, Gremlin chatter. The judges are actually re-adjusting some of the rankings. A vegetable Gremlin in a shocking turn of events

has fallen below shadow puppet Gremlin because one of the rankings. In vegetable, Gremlin, in a shocking turn of events has fallen below shadow puppet, Gremlin, because one of the judges realized that picking the food off him is a little bit like eating sushi off a naked person, which is weird and gross. And it just seems like it's going to make your sushi warm, and it's going to make your naked person sticky. So that made this forever drop down a little bit. Features not bugs, but continue. I said, I don't want a kink sheen there, but all right.

But now in the movie, I never saw the movie hero dreams of sushi. Was he dreaming? Was it a sex dream where he was dreaming about eating sushi off a naked person? Uh-huh. Yeah, he was dreaming the time he watched rising sun while his parents were asleep in the other room. And he said, someday, I'm going to get into that world. Someday, I'll be involved with sushi too.

Okay, guys, we're back to the top five. This is the five sexiest gremlins, or these are the five sexiest gremlins. Number five, this is going to be a controversial one. This is going to be a big, big debate. Buckle up everybody because I think there's going to be a little bit of argument here. Number five, Greta, the lady Gremlin number five, number five, fifth sexiest Gremlin. Dan, I can see the anger in your eyes. Bring it to me. Tell me why I'm wrong. I'm not. I'm not.

Greta, Greta. Well, you know, I hear a lot of you share your work. Andre got me for my birthday. I want to bring it over here. Oh, wow. It's a visual aid. It's for the audience at home. It's a, it's an action figure of Greta. Greta. Greta. I thought you were going to tell me that she dressed up as Greta for your birth then.

I was going to say, I don't want to know that. How can you argue with this? I kind of want to know about this. Here's the thing. Yes, she's beautiful. Yes, she's beautiful. She's gorgeous. She's got glamour, style.

She wears a lot of makeup and she knows that. No, there she is. And's gorgeous. She's got glamour, style, she wears a lot of makeup, and she knows what she is. And she knows that Brandon has been awesome. She knows what she wants, and she goes to get it. She does. That's the thing. She's a little self-involved, and she's a little pushy that she really goes after Robert Picardo hard. And at first, I understand. And at first, because Robert Picardo, yes, also a snack, here's the thing. I'm going to put her at five because she is just, she only wants what she wants. She's not interested in what you want. She's all about taking and not about giving. So that's why she's at number five, unless, unless, yes, render what we say.

I mean, she's, she's giving to Robert Picardo, but that's, she's giving, she's giving in a way that, well, I guess you're right about that. Here's the thing. If you're Robert Piccaro, Greta goes to number one, or if you are Robert Piccaro's son, in which case Greta goes from Lady Gremlin to Stepmom Gremlin, instantly rockets to number one sexiest Gremlin. So that's the case. If you are Robert Piccaro's son, Greta is your number one sexiest Gremlin.

Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, very taboo. Even more taboo than having sex with a miniature reptile. That has been the result of a chemical experiment gone right. You know, you know, there's like a limited edition Greta Grimmund flashlight out there, right? There's, I mean, it's just a regular flashlight, but it's green. You know, I don't want to think about it too much. Now, Dan, now, Dan, you had a lot of questions about Gremlin, Genitalia earlier in the show. And now when we're getting into the nitty-gritty of it, suddenly you don't want to hear about it. The nitty-gritty of it. There's a difference between the level of interest of half for comedy and then having like sort of

visions, you know, peer in my brain of something that may exist out in the world. Yeah, some that definitely exists out in the world. Yeah. All right. Now that's, so that's number five on my book is Greta, but again, your results may vary. She's a very popular Gremlin, but I think it's going to

hard, it's hard to argue with number four. Number four, sexiest Gremlin. We got to go back to the original Gremlins movie, the unnamed Gremlin at the bar who is dressed like Jennifer Beale's in flash dance and is dancing their heart out to the song, mega madness or mutant madness, whatever, however the song is. A song that is apparently written by the same person who wrote the song, Maniac, from flash dance. And so there's a lot going on there.

Guys, this, this Gremlin, maybe it's just the way that it's shot super flash dance video style, but this Gremlin is super sexy. What I only saw flash dance, like kind of recently, and I loved the idea of this, like blue collar steel town that can support, like, multiple dancing lady establishes. Yeah. Yeah. Especially one that's, appears to have, mostly have, like, sort of avant-garde dance where no one takes their clothes off. Yeah, that's the highbrow one sort of avant-garde dance where no one

takes their clothes off. Yeah, that's the highbrow one. There's the lowbrow one across the street. Yeah, it's about through the expression. Now, I want to say that again, this is flash dance and not splash dance, the 1983 Disney novelty album where the Disney characters sang 1980s themed songs. Oh, that makes sense. That's great for kids because they're familiar with flash dance.

Yes, exactly. A movie that doesn't really have like any, any like conflict. She's just like, I want to dance. And she starts dating a guy and he's like, I want you to dance. And she's like, okay, I'll dance. And that's it. Stuart, you have all people should know. The conflict is capitalism.

That's the conflict in the movie. Yeah, you're right. It's a person versus world movie. That world's capitalism. Brendan, what's your take on that? I just can say it's also the 1980s, Jerry Brookheimer conflict of all films of the lead character of, I'm awesome. Half way through. Am I awesome? Ending. I'm awesome. Yeah.

Yeah. That's called the hero, the awesome hero's journey. Or awesome. The conflict of the recent Maverick, Top Gun Maverick, a movie that just confirms the awesomen the recent Maverick Top Gun Maverick movie that confirms the awesomeness of Maverick. Doesn't get me in touch. It's like, wow, that's a cool name. Does he deserve it? Yes he does.

Has Maverick slowed down a little bit and lost his Zez? No, still got it. If anything too much, still more. Still more. Now he's not being held back by Goose. He's not anymore., still got it. If anything too much, still more, still more. Now, he's not being held back by goose. So I said it. I think she, I think you're right. I think it's also you know it's attractive about her. She has a dream. Yes. Yes. This is a Gremlin with ambitions, a Gremlin with passion. Like you're saying, a Gremlin who wants more than just to be another Gremlin working in a steel town on a Saturday night. You know, yes. Yeah.

And so that's that's number four, unnamed Gremlin dress like flash dance at the bar. That bar scene, even as a kid, I gotta say, this is just, if you want to go straight to my heart from childhood to now, show me a scene where monsters or aliens are hanging out at a bar or a restaurant. I love it. Star Wars, the dark crystal, Gremlins, I can watch that forever. It's all I want to say. And we recently talked about how there's a bar scene in the most recent Ant-Man movie. And how we're like, no, this should be fun. Yes. I love this shit.

And this is not what I love. Ironically, that bar scene does not clear the bar of science fiction bar scenes. Thank you. I'm getting applause visually from Stuart and Brendan Dan. They can't approve it. Don't edit that out Alex. Don't keep it in. Keep it in. Keep all my mistakes in. Throw in, throw in some audience clapping. I'm going to go to show in movies. There's a lot of, there's a high standard set for creatures hanging out at bars. Next movie that does it, you're going to have to work really hard. Speaking of working hard, here's number three, the number of resexious, and he didn't get

there just by his looks, although he's got him. He didn't get there just by charisma, though he's got it. He got there by out working every other damn Gremlin and Maghwai, there is, except for two. That's right. It's number three, Stripe the main bad guy for the original Gremlins. He's got that white mohawk. He's got some snow on the roof, but that doesn't mean there isn't a party downstairs. Guys, what do you feel is about Stripe, the ultimate

bad boy? He even carries a gun, a little miniature gun made for a Gremlin. Where did he get that thing? I know. Yeah, I know. I mean, mohawk, the guy. I know. Yeah, I know. I know. Yeah, I know. I know. Yeah, I know. I know.

Yeah, I know. I know. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know.

Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. Why is it we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway? And the end of the mohawk has spikes, but you drive on a mohawk.

This is just, yeah, part of that. Did you just make it up? The end of the stand up. Wait, did Ellen just make that up? The parkway thing? Yeah, it just came to me. It just came to you right off the dome. Yeah, just like Stripe, Smohawk, Stripe.

Right off the dome. Now, Stripe, even when I was a kid, I wasn't attracted to him necessarily, because I wasn't sexually aware yet. Because we don't drive on a driveway. No. We should, right? But I knew there was something special about him.

Tell me what we heard. It's cold. I had a bendy toy of stripe. It was great. What I believe I mentioned it in our mini about movie related action. And you're not allowed to park on a parkway. You have to keep going. There's no parking on it.

That's crazy. And you just came up with it. I just, I've just seen the zone, you know what? In the zone. So guys, your feelings about Stripe, I know Stewart is going to deal with something right now. He's, he's, he's in a trance in a days. Um, you feel like that's an existential crisis. But I'm, I don't want to fix this. in a trance in a days. Look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look,

look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look,

look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, He also touched on the nostalgia that we all have for that era. Absolutely adorable. Also, look, not every Gremlin looks good when melted. Stripe, still pretty badass when melted. When it's just a skeleton with the skin dripping off and he's hanging on that fountain, he looks great. He looks really great. Yeah. Also, if you're attracted to power, Stripe's your one.

Oh, yeah. A lamp. That's why Stripe has that quote about the ultimate affidizia. Yes, all the things that would have made him a sex symbol in ancient Rome, power a noble death and punk rock. Everything that they love. And like a bootstrapper mentality. He came from nothing.

That's true. And now he's here. He was like, once I was just a ball of fur flying off a mogwys back and now look at me, King of the Grims. I got my own little gun. You defeat everybody and a movie theater explosion. I'll just start over again. I've been at the bottom so many times. I don't even know what the top is. And yet I'm going there. You know what? I may be lying on my back when I'm looking at the stars. That's me. Stripe.

Stripe. That's like, that's like, fuck boy, island intro. I'm imagining Stripe with a headset like and he's walking around a stage and he's like, I used to be like you. I used to be like you, just a ball of fur and then I was in like a gross, snot booger-looking chrysalis. But when I came out, you know what I was? Self-actual-ized.

My name is Stripe. Do you have a name? No, because you're just some Gremlin. Give yourself one. Right now, what's your name? And he goes down to the audience for the handheld mic. He Give yourself one right now. What's your name? And he goes down to the audience with the handheld mic. He goes, uh, you, what's your name? And the Gremlin is like, uh, uh,

you're, uh, uh, that's your name. You got it. You've got a name now. Not an insult. That's your name. First choice, first choice runs from another Gremlin. What's your name? And that Gremlin goes Darren and Spike goes, a stripe goes great, great, Darren, Darren, wonderful. And then another G grandma goes, I'll be Stripe too. And Stripe just shoots him in the head. No, can't do that. Only one Stripe.

And he already paid for the seminar and he got his money. That's true. He said, there's no refunds. That's why you have to sign the waiver when you go in and you hand your cell phone to Stripe's, Hedge Grimlands. They put it in the back. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

But you can't really handle it. Yeah, exactly. Oh. I thought it was because once you shoot everyone, he's got like a resell business. Oh, yeah. That's a good scam. Yeah, it is a great scam. Okay, number two, we kind of mentioned him earlier. Oh, man, I just got an idea for a globular scam.

Okay, wait, don't tell us what it is. Tell us what it is. No, I mean, it involves running seminars and stealing phones. That's pretty much it. All right. The seminar below the English on it, they go, the seminar will begin in 10 minutes. And then you're just hurriedly running out of the back of the building with a sack full of cell phones. So number two, this is the yet, Dan, you have something to say.

Just imagine you're running out with the phone. It's like, call the new bird, call the new bird. It's like, I think you have a getaway car ready. I'm gonna have all these phones. What about when I move around? One of them is like, okay, looks through. See if any of them have Uber loaded on them. Yeah.

Got it unlocked one of them. Yeah. Oh, she's got their codes first, uh, with her fingerprints. Go back in, cut off everybody's fingers. We'll match them up with the right phones. We'll be able to get one that has Uber on it. So I can make it. We just scape this plan. This plan that I'm out boss. This plan, it seemed okay to me when it was just used running away with a bag of phones. But I didn't know you're going to be cutting people's fingers off. I owe you. I paid your way through veterinary school. You're right, boss. You're right. Okay. I'll get those fingers.

So number two, this is the runner up, not the sexiest, Gremlin, but pretty damn close. Yeah. This is, yeah, this isn't shameful. No, no, we hinted at them earlier. This is the Gremlin that some people may know them as Mohawk, but that's not when I find them the sexiest. I find the sexiest when they fully turn into spider Gremlin that some people may know them as Mohawk, but that's not when I find them the sexiest. I find the sexiest when they fully turn into spider-gremlin. That's right, legs, legs, legs. Yep, wrap me up in your web anytime. I look at Marla getting caught in that web and I'm like, lucky girl.

Oh, spider-gremlin's coming around. How do you guys feel about it? Or do you prefer? No lie, that is a hot sea. Yeah, I mean like the problem is, now you've brought up Marla, the genuine sex appeal. That's a hot sea. Yeah. The problem with this is, now you've brought up Marla, the genuine sex appeal. That's a hot sea. And then when Gizmo shows up with his little Rambo outfit on, like the fear goes insane. Yeah, they love it.

Like, they can't go crazy. Yeah. They don't know what to do. They rip up the scenes. Yeah. And then the scene gets literally hot because Spiderman is lit on fire by a flaming white out arrow fired by Rambo Gizmo. What do you guys, and should we take a moment to talk about Marla?

I don't want to. I don't want to talk about sexy humans in this. We're talking, we're talking about gremlins. She's great too. Just gremlins, I was going to say though, for Mohawk also, they were spider gremlin. He felt an entire floor with silk. Yes. That means he can go.

Yeah, stamina, stamina. He's been in the pineapple. Yeah, he's he's he's got the stick to him. And he'll put the work in just like death, just like shadow puppet, Gremlin, but he's got the looks. That's the thing. He's got the looks. Now, Brent, and I believe did you know someone wants who now who who bought the original

spider-gremlin puppet? I do. It is, oh, Michael Carbonaro has in of the carbon-error effect magician. So he actually owns the original spider-gremlin puppet used in Gremlins too. Lucky. It was, I believe, somewhat of an impulse purchase. He saw it for a huge Gremlins fan, like not on that side, but I hope so. He's not just a huge fan of spider-based puppets.

Yeah, just always cruising the offices. But no, it was impulse in the sense of he saw it up for auction, so I was at a price point that was possible. So he's like, oh my God, yes, I will do this. Just go. He didn't check the size or convert, because it was in a UK auction. So he's here in Burbank. He didn't check the size or convert it to his UK auction so he's here in Burbank.

He didn't check the size of it so when it he got like okay that was not that better cost. I think I like a humongous bill for shipping and it was the thing of like. Why is it cost so much and turns out this was the puppet that was like the actual correct scale for the rest of the scene. So it's a piece of these like the size of a small car. So yeah, it now lives in a museum in Vegas because it was way too large for his home and he has then find somebody who would accept it and provide shelter to his family. It's really cool to call Planet Hollywood a museum in Vegas. So museum-recon, enjoy it, delicious meal. Yeah, sure's the reason we can enjoy a delicious meal? Yeah, sure.

Those food museums. Someone said, wait a minute, what if the snack bar was the museum? Yeah. I wish I could have something like that. Be so amazing and keep your, keep your, again, minds out of the gutter. It's not so I can sneak into the garage at night and have my way with the spider-gremlin because again, I, he's the dom in this scenario. Yeah, your life.

Yeah. No, without a scenario. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Otherwise, I'm like Belagosi and Ed Wood, just trying to rat myself with Octopus. And it doesn't. And we all know Elliot has serious brat energy. Okay, guys, are you ready for the number one sexiest Gremlin? Should I go down?

Should I, you know what?, I'm gonna go down our list And then I want you guys to take a guess on who you think it is and forget that I may have texted you earlier Who I who I would have chosen as it is okay, okay number 10 was a number 10 again, Daffy Gremlin Number nine electric Gremlin. Daff number 10 Daffy Gremlin sense of humor has a steady job number nine Electric Gremlin glamorous, but a little bit dangerous. Number eight, vegetable Gremlin, because warm vegetables is, there's no way his body is keeping them cool. It's not crispy, they're mushy. Now, although they're fresh, doesn't get any fresher, straight off the Gremlin. So who knows? Number seven now,

shadow puppet Gremlin. They're locally sourced. Yeah. So that Gremlin to table, it's a face to table. These vegetables. Yeah. Number seven vegetable grant. No, number seven is now shadow puppet, Gremlin. Good with his hands, but we don't know how he looks. Maybe he looks like the 3D glasses movie theater, Gremlin in which case, hubbubba. Number six, Bat Gremlin, wrap me up.

Number five, Greta Gremlin, unless you are Robert Picardo's son. Four, unnamed flash dance Gremlin. She's got a dream. She's going for it. Number, make me a part of that dream. Number three, Stripe, Ultimate Bad Boy. Number two, Spider Gremlin, wrap me up too. But in this case, instead of wings, it's a web and legs.

So number one, who's your guest? Who's going to be the number one? Six years ago. They're entirely on Elliott's personality. Yeah. Background, I 100% think who's going to be the number one. Six years. Entirely on Elliott's personnel. Yeah. Background, I 100% think you're going to pick. The George Gremlin, because he is a lot like John Taffer from Bar Rescue, who has that New Jersey Mafioso vibe that I know Elliott resonates with.

That's a good guess. It is. It doesn't feel like home to me. That's true. Yep. Dan, do you have a guess? I would say I'm. The right way.

It looks like it looks like Brendan's got, Brendan's got his guess. So Dan, you find it a little hard to think because you had these sexy gremlins floating in your head. Can you choose one? I think there may be a little narcissism in this pick. I think that Elliott would like to believe that the sexiest part of anyone is the brain. That's right. So Brendan, who do you think it is?

I see you're holding up your figuring of it. Yeah, I'm holding him for a reason. And I only wish I could do better Tony Randall impression. It's the brain, Gremlin. That's right. Number one. He's got his little jacket over his shoulder. That's great.

Sexiest, Gremlin, the brain, Gremlin, because you know what, nerdy is the new sexy. What's the biggest eroticist zone, the brain? That's what brain Gremlin's got. He opens his mouth and what do you hear? Fucking Tony Randall. That's right. Tony Randall and he can sing. He's got it all. He's got it all. And you know what? He takes those glasses off. He's a knockout. He puts the glasses on. Still sexy. Brain Gremlin. Sexiest Gremlin. There is. You know what, he takes those glasses off. He's a knockout. He puts the glasses on, still sexy. Brain Grimlin, sexiest Grimlin, there is. You know why? Because he's got brains.

And he's cultured. He's sophisticated. He is very soft. You know who's who's from Sontagans? Yeah, he's very soft. But he's not afraid to shoot another Grimlin in the face when he's being annoying. When that other Grimlin's just bothering the shit out of him, he does something. He's got a day.

He'll take care of you. Exactly. So he's not like. He's shooting everyone interrupting the day. Here's the situation. You're sitting with him. He can talk about cultured, sophisticated things. Uh-oh. Some guys stop bothering you in the piece of place that he took you to because he's humble.

It's a good piece of place. He went to that place. That's the best pizza in the world. It's in Phoenix, Arizona. There's no posting L.A. now. It's really good. I went to it. Anyway, so he's taking you there. It's really good. I went to it.

Anyway, so he's taking you there. You're really enjoying it. And some guys, Phoenix, Arizona. Yes, some guys start to hassle you. You know what he does? He doesn't go, yeah, well, maybe I will go to a different table.

No, just pulls his str- he learns his lesson from stripe, shoots them in the face and now, right back to the date, I assume the owner of the restaurant comes here. I'm so sorry, bring Grimmam. That you did not gotta, got it interrupted. I, I assume the owner of the restaurant comes in. I'm so sorry, Brain Gremlin, that you're a dinner, got it, got it interrupted. I would have taken a care of it.

It's fine, fine, my good man, fine. I'm not a problem at all, just if you could remove the leftovers, if you will. I won't be needing a doggy bag for that. And he goes, oh, you're so funny, Brain Gremlin, you're so funny. And he turns to you. And he says, you got to nail this one down. This is a catch. He a catch, this is Brain Gremlin. And And ring the ambulance like, just happy. Thank you.

Thank you. I believe I can handle my own seduction and everyone is laughing and very, very culture. There is a hole. There are Italian people in Arizona. Why? There are so. So, so you're so Dan, you thought maybe this is me maybe it's a little bit of a fantasy since I am if I'm any Gremlin, I'm either I probably don't have to at this point to be honest, but I could be the brain Gremlin. So Dan, who would I who would it be?

Who's your number one? Oh boy. You know what? I said that insult, but you may be right. You may be right. You know, because the brain gremlin is the only one I feel like you could take home to mom. Exactly. And then some, and that's, you know what, sexy, stability, communication, longevity. These other gremlins, they're good for one night, maybe a little more. Brain Gremlin, he's

going to be with you for the rest of your life. You know what, Dan, you may be right, I may be crazy, but it just may be a brain Gremlin you're looking for. That, of course, from Braini Joel, the brain version of Billy Joel. Oh, yeah. Braini Gremlin has a really Joel. I give that. Yeah, I give that name a. Oh, that's true.

Okay. Well, when I do top 10 sexiest is the really Joel parody character in Saul. I remember you're feeling about Brady Joel. Are there any gremlins that I left off the list that you feel have been overlooked and need to be talked about for their sexiness? And I remember we're only judging them on sexiness, not scareiness, although scareiness can sometimes be sexy and not other things too. I just how it, what erotic gremlins have I left off the list as we talk about Brendan's children's animated show.

I mean, I don't know if we're going to call him sexy, but like it does, I am surprised Flasher came nowhere near this. Is this, you know, if we were recording this 30 years ago, would we have included Flasher, but now in modern times, it just feels inappropriate. It's possible. It's very possible that when the original Gremlins came out 1984 or when the second Gremlins came out, what was that 1989 1990 1990, that Flasher Gremlin may have been on the list because you know what, there's something exciting about it, there's something daring about it. And obviously he's getting his kink, but the sexiest thing is consent. And Flasher Gremlin, he's not doing that. He's the most villainess of the grandma. What about that beat Nick Gremlin from the first movie? Okay, sure. Tell me more paint more of it. He probably has a heroin problem. I don't

you know, yeah, yeah, he's hung out in some French cafes. Well, the problem is he's going to make you listen to his poetry, which I don't know. I don't know if that's so great. That may be just qualifying. There's some Gremlins. We don't know whether whether microwave gremlin would have become a sexy gremlin or not since he didn't have much of a chance. He was exploded in a microwave. There's the Christmas caroling gremlins. There's something kind of sexy about how they're putting kind of like a naughty twist on a nice thing. You know, they're a kind of Christmas. But the same way that often the kitty babes on posters and dorm rooms will be wearing Santa hats for some reason, because

it makes them sexier, I guess, that they're embodying a child's nithic figure. So they didn't have to do their hair for the photoshoot. You know what, you put it behind the curtain, that's why it is. That's also why there's so many sexy babes on dorm room posters wearing hard hats, and those big Russian fur hats and then just full gorilla masks. Yeah. The extra hour of sleep they got is so sexy.

Yeah, exactly. They're saving up their energy for the sex, you know. They're not just staying up at night doing logic puzzles. They're saving it up, you know, because they can't sleep. What are their, what are their gremlins? Do you just want to highlight as gremlins that are favorites of yours? I mean, I like big dumb, strong, Lenny,

Gremlin. Uh-huh. The one who I always is, so the one who looks kind of like goofy. Yeah, yeah. And not the one, what's the, is it George the one who

looks like like Thomas Abolus? Yeah, yes. Yeah. George on Lenny never cared for George. And, uh, I said, because of John Steinbeck's

famous novel of mice and gremlins. That's the one at where Lenny keep he's petting the Gremlin. He accidentally breaks its neck. Yeah. Right? It would be a Maguay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A full of Gremlin. And honorable mention at number 11 Christopher Lee, not a Gremlin. Yeah. But he's up there. He's up there. He's at the heart with his rising. I still love him offering diseases as a prize to them all.

That's just to win them over. Yeah, we have to see this. There's, you know what, the more I think about the grandma's movies, they're kind of weird movies now that I think about it. Brandon, you know, as I said, I've only watched the first couple episodes. Is another of the secrets of the Magwai you reveal why, you know, Gizmo is like a nice Magwai, but the moment anyone spawns off of him, they're like, even pre-grimmin' they're bad. We do actually. Now that it is out there, I won't say it on here, but episode six reveals most of the things

that we talked about. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah, solid reasons behind it all. Exciting. Finally, mogwized, creative, serious reveal. Cancer is revealed, yeah. You know what?

I'm going to add a, that's, I'm glad that we're, it's finally revealed. And speaking of bad mogwize, I'm going to, You know what? I'm gonna add a that's I'm glad that we're it's finally revealed and speaking of bad Maguise. I'm gonna you know what I'm gonna add a Maguise this list. Sorry guys. This is at number 12 I already said Chris for Lee is number 11 as there as the non-Gremlin runner up number 12 That Maguise is just chowing down on fried chicken in the in the first movie at midnight because there's nothing sexier than fried chicken I know I was talking about I know saying that I don't want to eat, I don't want to eat sushi off of an naked body, but fried chicken, hold on, maybe let's talk about it. Fried chicken off an naked gremlin. Well, it's the, it's the greatest of all erotic dreams. Yeah. Uh, and so with that vision,
