Author: MaximumFun.org July 3, 2020 Duration: 54:11

This week we are graced by the presence of the inimitable Leonard Maltin. He’s on the show to talk about the 30th anniversary of Gremlins 2: The New Batch. Leonard tells the truly hilarious story of how he ended up getting eaten by Gremlins in the sequel film. He also talks about wielding his power as the Entertainment Tonight movie critic to get more boxes of a beloved discontinued cereal. Plus, we answer a question from the Who Shotline about what movie we’d like to see “Rocky Horror-fied.” And, as always, we’ve got staff picks.

Staff Picks:
Ify – Train to Busan
Drea – The Long Dumb Road
Alonso – The Glass Menagerie
Leonard – Sing Street
