[@carlsonbrendanmathew]

This year / holidays have been rough but thank you for bringing some joy and entertainment into my life.

[@HipnotikHylian]

What the fuck man, where's the what if and skeleton crew breakdowns???

[@FoolShortOG]

Merry Christmas Paul

[@Rtist16]

Merry Christmas!

[@AussieFilipino]

Paul calling his Gizmo a piece of shit was the best Christmas gift 😂😂 Edit: he just called Gizmo a piece of shit again💀the gift that keeps on giving

[@anubusx]

😅

[@erikfinkel2717]

*goads Paul in Beavis voice* Yeah, yeah! Piece of sheet! Call him a little shthead, again! Again! LOUDER! MORE! MORE! hehe heheh

[@alisonchristineable]

Thanks for this! I introduced it to my 9 year old last weekend and she loved it! It's going to be a Christmas tradition now.

[@GymAndSun]

Wow perfect timing for Christmas! 🌲 👹 I was definitely too young to be watching this but loved gizmo haha

[@NeverLetOff]

Classic! I was too young to see this in theaters but saw the second. Such a great movie but I don't think I have ever been able to explain why... Great breakdown as always!

[@amandahugginkiss55]

Hey Paul, what's up? You are a great critic and funny as hell. Thanks for all your hard work! Thanks for only charging a dollar to see these sweet vids early. I'm broke and you are my only paid subscription channel. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@heavyspoilers]

Ah much appreciated mate, thanks for chipping in especially when it’s free to wait

[@wbond6692]

This movie was a staple of my Christmas history in my home when I was growing up. And i loved even more that I had introduced it to my daughter when she was 8. We sat down and watched it and laughed like you wouldn't believe. She's grown up now, but we still have great memories and reference the movie whenever we need a good laugh. Merry Christmas to all.

[@GregsGameRoom]

Also the pool was at the Warner Ranch and is the same one from Christmas Vacation (they built a fake YMCA over it.) Billy’s house was also there but the whole ranch was recently town down.

[@williamshaw9047]

I think the Griswold house was filmed at Warner Bros. in Burbank...Clark mentions building a pool but they don't have one in the movie.

[@AC-hj9tv]

Whoa

[@mickeyburnsmusic]

One love, Spoily. Merry merriments to you and yours!

[@abdullahenani9670]

a true christmas classic, awesome breakdown so far! merry christmas to you too paul, I love you! ❤🎄

[@iholm5108]

Well, the membership already paid for itself

[@heavyspoilers]

haha my main concern at the moment is genuinely keeping people feeling like its not worth cancelling after they sign up

[@abegarfield7030]

​@@heavyspoilers I don't think you need to worry about that. You're consistently releasing entertaining videos of quality.

[@wizzydoesdallas3408]

Billy can be seen trying not to laugh at the pheobe's Christmas trafedy story. Lol

[@196cupcake]

I like it because it shows us why she's different. She went through that horrible thing so she has experience, and is one of the few adults who's able to keep it together.

[@GregsGameRoom]

You missed Jerry Goldsmith who is standing behind Rand in the phone booth.

[@AC-hj9tv]

Happy Christmas, Paul!

[@jamiewilshaw3595]

Cheers for all the spoilers and breakdowns this year, look forward to seeing more soon and merry Christmas to you and yours.👍👍🍻🍻

[@ChristopherGonzalez1280]

Another banger, thank you brother! I have to see this movie again because for some reason I don't remember a lot of these things, but then again I was in the single digits when I saw this so... 😅

[@heavyspoilers]

hahah thank you, scariest movie of all time (for a 4 year old)

[@jcortez1989]

This was such a great breakdown, really enjoyed it.

[@riot2944]

Ayyye more to binge watch... God bless us, everyone.

[@johnowens4334]

I’m so glad your doing this film

[@ellafieldipops]

21:23 The song works perfectly to up the anxiety in the scene

[@AKayfabe]

I saw this movie when I was 9. I loved this movie as a child and still do. I also watched Poltergeist as a child actually. I was allowed to watch horror as a child, yes. Those were probably my two favorite movies back then. Gremlins is amazing. I had a little Mogwai stuffed toy too. So cute

[@AC-hj9tv]

I still have my stuffed mogwai lol

[@KingRabla]

I swear to god 1984 was the BEST year for movies! How did we get THIS and DIE HARD in the same year?!

[@abegarfield7030]

Die hard was 1988.

[@anubusx]

Die Hard was 1988. 84 was an amazing year for films. The Terminator, Ghostbusters, The NeverEnding Story, Police Academy and Beverly Hills Cop.

[@JetsetComedian]

Easy…. we DIDNT 😂. 1982 is arguably the best year in film

[@KingRabla]

Oop

[@ellafieldipops]

0:02 Thank you for making this video! Merry Christmas to me Yipppeee!

[@budkin]

My mom took me to see this in the theaters when I was 8. I’ve loved it ever since.

[@vikingodin1986]

Oh man this brings back memories...excellent choice...you always bang out top notch content 👌 👏...the bar scene will forever live rent free ..the flasher😂

[@NomeDeArte]

As long as Aliens was fascinating to watch the xenomorph life cycle, as a kid I found super interesting the gremlins biology.

[@burningpapersun1]

I watch this every Christmas.

[@martinrosendahl9134]

One of the best things about the Gremlins franchise if you can call it that is that it has not been destroyed by the movie industry of today. No sad remakes no unwanted sequels. Just 2 great movies that can be enjoyed in succession or on their own. Love 'em both though this one is probably my fave. Great review as always... merry christmas HS

[@wizzydoesdallas3408]

No mention of how the mean old lady is basically the mean old lady from wizard of oz??? Threatening a dog.

[@abegarfield7030]

Good catch. I never made the connection.

[@Lovelife86nj]

I love this channel ❤❤❤ bro funny asf

[@mailelouie658]

Thanks Paul! Happy Christmas to you and your family! Great choice for a Christmas dive! It was so “darkly” pervertedly funny. Was I the only one who laughed out loud when she relayed how her Dad died and was found? I burst out laughing. My classmates watching it as a classroom Christmas movie thought I was “really mean,” not getting the holiday spirit. Lol. I'm like the whole movie had those twisted quips as you pointed out.

[@heavyspoilers]

Haha thank you mate

[@alexp601]

Something I noticed recently was near the end where Billy’s mum says maybe Gizmo would like some chicken soup, right before Gizmo’s owner shows up at the house. They were going to give Gizmo food that’s basically water! 😂

[@abegarfield7030]

Yeah, the science of this movie isn't very well thought out. The Gs bop around in snow, drink larger and whiskey too. Surely their bodies must contain water?

[@alexp601]

@ actually now I think about it, I guess it must be an external wetness and internal wetness doesn’t count

[@cozycribcafe]

Great trivia breakdown, Happy Christmas Mate!

[@Ezrumas]

Spike using the chainsaw to reference Texas Chainsaw is most likely a nod to Tobe Hooper, another Spielberg collaborator with Poltergeist.

[@booktraci7954]

I'm such a fan of this movie 😂

[@maximoreeves2199]

Ive always wanted a full on horror version of gremlins.

[@anubusx]

Same here.

[@AC-hj9tv]

Bro the movie is already spoopy af

[@mariad.6373]

And Billy’s save before the end of the Lincoln monologue is also amazing.

[@M0RGAT0RY]

Paul!!! One of my original loves as a child

[@AussieFilipino]

I’d love to see the original R rated Idea for Gremlins, love what we got but would love to see how it would’ve turned out

[@erikfinkel2717]

The gremlins post-hatching reveal then escaping in the vent gives hella xenomorph face-hugger vibes.

[@iamshaunsimpson]

Still wild to me that this movie was rated PG. A gremlin microwaved to death, a father snapping his neck in the chimney, farmer ran over by his own tractor... the lady being ejected out the window by her handi-chair lol

[@heavyspoilers]

Yeah it’s crazy haha

[@anubusx]

That entire kitchen scene was a massacre!!!

[@DanteYewToob]

There was only PG and R at the time… PG13 came later because of this movie! Haha Literally, Temple of Doom and Gremlins were so violent that they invented a new rating. So you’re totally right. Edit: just saw Paul mentioned this at the end of the video… lol

[@anubusx]

@@DanteYewToob I love Temple Of Doom.

[@justinradford5645]

"Come on, we're talking cable." Love that line.

[@YourWingmanGaming]

Oh yeah easily one of my all time favourite Christmas movies

[@mr.deadbutdreaming9628]

This is a perfect breakdown for the holidays.

[@mailelouie658]

Happy Christmas Day Paul and your wife and kids! This is a great breakdown as always!

[@timparks9833]

This movie looks better than any movie made in the past decade. Good practical effects have yet to be beaten by CGI.

[@antraxxslingshots]

9:20 that is the strangest way of Snow on a Car i have ever seen :D

[@mrnoodleg6383]

Love this channel

[@LogicalCriticalThinking]

Yes yes yes yes yes! What a Christmas present. Merry Christmas everyone.

[@loyalbeta]

Let me get this right… you just finished the LotR breakdowns…. And not one Deagle / Sméagol joke? 😅 Merry Christmas Paul. Thank you for a fantastic year

[@deatherbradley]

Merry Christmas my dudes! I look forward to all the dope stuff you will post over the next year.

[@TherealAngry817]

Merry Xmas P love your content

[@thismissashley]

Merry Christmas @heavyspoilers ❤ video is a nice little present - thank you for your work!

[@heavyspoilers]

Ey thank you, hope you have a good one

[@sethphillips6810]

Literally just rewatched this!!!!!!

[@mattbeganie4519]

Merry Christmas Paul…

[@rossmitchellmusic1]

One of my all time favourites

[@sirsplintfastthepungent1373]

Gremlins 2 please. Also, everyone knows Die Hard is a Christmas movie. It's not subtle. Three Kings with Batman, Marky Mark, Ice Cube, and wait... Spike Jonze? Now that's an obscure Christmas movie.

[@anubusx]

Die Hard is most certainly a Christmas film.

[@sirsplintfastthepungent1373]

@@anubusx pretty sure everyone watching it in the theater on opening night thought so, too

[@cschmitz]

I'm normally not a fan of movie remakes and I love the original Gremlins, but man a gremlins remake that followed the original darker plans for the movie would be amazing!

[@captainfncreepy]

This is my favorite xmas movie, thank you for this!

[@NomeDeArte]

26:00 what are you talking about?? The creepy story about Kate’s dad is the most remembered part of the movie. Every kid talk about it.

[@jazcc]

This was the first horror movie I showed my 7 year old. He liked it and laughed a lot. It’s a great film. This year we saw Ghostbusters.

[@mariad.6373]

Kate’s monologue is amazing.

[@ellafieldipops]

Utterly terrified of this when I saw it as a small child in the 1980s on a pirate video in my neighbour’s house! Even more terrified when my brother hid in my wardrobe that night waiting until I was in bed then started to make Gremlin noises to scare the shiz out of me 😂

[@heavyspoilers]

Stripe one of the greatest villains of all time

[@ellafieldipops]

@@heavyspoilersAre you old enough to remember the Warner Brothers shop in the Metrocentre? It had a life sized model of Stripe!

[@abegarfield7030]

​@@ellafieldipops I remember one in Chester.

[@BobbyRoberts-v9x]

Merry Christmas Paul!

[@heavyspoilers]

You too mate, have a good one

[@mattgilbert7347]

"Gizmo!" "Bat!"

[@carlsonbrendanmathew]

Yesss!!!!! Thank you sm for this

[@anubusx]

Funny how this film and The Howling are set in the same universe.

[@abegarfield7030]

Are they? I'm intrigued now. Tell me more, please

[@karatefella]

The shot at 29:29 with the old man walking along the road reminds me of the end of Raiders Of The Lost Ark, where the crate containing the ark is taken to the huge warehouse.

[@anubusx]

We have top men.

[@darrellcovello7917]

My younger sister found Gremlins the scariest thing in the world. She was terrified of them, and they were the metaphorical monster under the bed. Chucky, on the other hand, was my nightmare.

[@mike_0213]

I remember when I first saw this back in like 1986 when I was like 7. The 80's might of been the best era for classic movies that you can rewatch every year around Christmas time. I think making the movie PG was the way to go with this one because it made it more of a family movie and not a teen to young adult movie. I wonder where my Gismo toy is now?? Also my brother and I had the Star Wars Vader head that held all the figures, all gone now. UGH..

[@ellafieldipops]

“Gizmo Caca” and “Deagle Deagle Deagle” are repeated almost daily in my household 😂

[@AshleyRobinson-os1xb]

Gizmo the o.g sinister Furbie. Paul should start a petition to get the x-rated script version made. 21:12 number 5 on the list is chefs kiss. Merry Christmas. 👌👏😊

[@herodaresfire4512]

Cate's story is one of the best movie monologues, right up there with Quint in Jaws.

[@garyphisher7375]

As a 14yr old boy in Liverpool, I had a choice between this and Ghostbusters - I chose Gremlins. The biggest mistake of my young life! Gremlins 2 was the best of all the Gremlins and every Ghostbuster film.

[@tacobeartaco7140]

I loved these movies, and this recap was amazing! I wouldnt mind seeing the version the creators wanted done: "Gremlins X". I feel like campy movies are coming back and this is prime time.

[@SAMTYLER1974]

Billy’s cartoon sketch is an homage to John Tennial’s artwork of The Jabberwocky as seen in Lewis Carroll’s 1871 “Through The Lookung Glass” …

[@alphamemphis2024]

How are the comments from 6 days ago if this was posted 3 hours ago?

[@AC-hj9tv]

Members early access

[@naildriver296]

I think the boy in the Yankees hat's vest was supposed to symbolize Han Solo mixed with Short Round so we get a nod to both films. That's just my personal thoughts. Great breakdown as always!

[@gyromurphy]

My favorite Gremlin reference is from The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episode where a gremlin monster is attacking the school bus. Bart yells, "THERES A GREMLIN ON THE SIDE OF THE BUS!!", but when Otto looks in the mirror, all he sees is an actual AMC Gremlin car... and then he runs it off the road.

[@bobthedopeman7327]

Best Christmas movie 😊

[@picvegita]

I love this movie and the sequel... Such a fun and insane series

[@TheLedonne3]

The Kate's Father/chimney monologue is reminiscint of Quint's Indianapolis monologue from Jaws.

[@carpemkarzi]

Nice. Also the Heavy Metal movie had a sequence by Dan O’Bannon with creatures on a bomber, that he used as the basis for Alien.

[@theletstalkhorrorchannel]

Even though a darker version would have been fun to see I still truly love what we got and it’s on our Christmas list every year and sharing the love I have for this movie on now with my kid means it’s even more fun to watch. Our latest episode is all about this absolute classic

[@jameslangley2196]

The square at the beginning is the same location used in Back to the Future which is at Universal Studios. In the bank window is a poster that says “Save for the FUTURE”

[@jacobleroux96]

A Heavy Spoilers Christmas

[@SimpleJack-mc4cg]

Merry Christmas mate. & All. Have a good one :)

[@heavyspoilers]

Same to you!

[@jean-pierrep6844]

I appreciated the dark comedy of Santa (dad) falling down in the chimney and breaking his neck. It provides a mix of negative emotions and feelings with dark humor, truth, and reality. An age restriction of 12 and over would be appropriate.

[@rjmcclure8019]

Hahaha you actually did it. Thank you so much

[@matthewmcneal5386]

Somehow with my favorite movies as a kid being gremlins and back to the future, not realizing until 30 years later that they’re both the same town 😂

[@folkloreofbeing]

Gremlins are modern goblins. They were original aeronautical goblins, but over time, came to disrupt all kinds of electronics.

[@EndoScorpion]

While Gremlins is one of my all time favouite movies; I'd still love to see that dark R-rated version.

[@John-es7zn]

Merry Christmas

[@DocM49]

I first watched this movie when I was about six or seven years old. Scared the poop out of me at that age. As an adult, I know it’s cheesy, but as a little kid, I was terrified of these things.

[@folkloreofbeing]

I was the same way with Evil Dead 2. At the age of eight, it was scary, but as a teen, I got the humour in it.

[@RaduPoliac]

One of the two police officers who crashes into the insurance building is the same actor who played Mike from Breaking Bad. I always liked to think this was in the same universe and the gremlins attack was why he transferred to New Mexico and became all grizzled

[@madbyinstinct]

Yes! 😂 great holiday's movie ❤

[@marvinparish4843]

Shout out to the great Hoyt Axton who played Randall. One of the greatest songwriters ever

[@slytheringingerwitch]

I almost expected for Gizmo to attack at the end...Merry Christmas!

[@mybrutaltruth9359]

Ok, you young punk, now we are talking... I was 14 when I watched this, loved it and I had just clicked to watch another video from Ryan Airy (no idea how to spell it), lol, just kidding. I did just catch this out of the corner of my eye and did my best cartoon braking maneuver on my keyboard and even though your less cool version of a good channel, I figured I would watch it anyway... lmao... love ya mate! See ya punk!!

[@josephlocantora7209]

I don’t know what you’re talking about, the Poltergeist clown still freaks me out.
