 In this mini recap of Episode 50, Joe, Georgia, and Nick revisit the chaos, science, and fuzzy destruction of Gremlins, Joe Dante’s 1984 holiday horror-comedy produced by Steven Spielberg. They unpack the speculative biology of the Mogwai one more time, diving into the infamous three rules: no bright light, no water, and never feed after midnight—especially not raw chicken.The crew adds fresh layers of science to the discussion: the real-life Turritopsis dohrnii immortal jellyfish challenges biology’s one-way street, birth to death, by reverting from adulthood back to a juvenile form. They clear up misquotes, too, turns out Ben Franklin never said anything about beer being purer than water. Chris Guzman may now own that line. Joe finally remembers which sequel he thought was better than the original (Superman II), Georgia nominates “you can’t have a pet caterpillar” as a t-shirt, and Nick offers a time paradox for the ages: “Time has not been around all that time.”Also discussed: E.T.’s grown-up mischief parody from Legends of Tomorrow. The crew gives their media recommendations: Stranger Things, Skate Story, The End of the World As We Know It, Lose Your Mind, Gilmore Girls, and Abbott Elementary.Just one full episodes and one mini remain in season 2: Get ready to close out with some holiday fun and silliness!Check out what the RHR crew is creating:Joe:Red Line: Chicago Horror Stories Anthology featuring a new story by Joe!Essay by Joe: From Beyond Press: Specific Knowledge: Jotham Austin, II, PhD on Transformations in FictionJoe explores how many calories it would take to transform into monsters across sci-fi and horror—think 222 Big Macs and tubs of Cherry Garcia.It’s science for WeirdosWant to support the show?
