A boy receives a a surprisingly good Christmas gift, in the form of a living creature no one has seen before, from his usually disappointing Dad. However, when the little monster’s spawn destroy the town and ruin Christmas, the gift turns out to be as disappointing as his Dad and his lousy inventions.

Parry - "(In Ralph Parker voice) I don’t think Gremlins make a very good Christmas gift."

Parry: "Outlander! I have your vaccine!"

Joelle - "You need a weapon. You need something to 'juk' people in the eye cause your man done left you!"

Also, Parry completely geeks out speaking with someone who changed his perceptions of film, society, and Twinkies*.

*A deep cut Koyaanisqatsi reference not actually mentioned in this interview. But if you know, you know.

Joelle - "Find your fucking holiday joy, Grinch!"
