One of us had never seen Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990)… until now!

In this episode of Confessions of a Film Poser, we watch Gremlins 2 for the very first time, share our expectations going in, and give our honest reactions to one of the strangest studio sequels ever made.

From Joe Dante’s anarchic direction to the film’s wildly self-aware humor, over-the-top Gremlin designs, and complete rejection of sequel logic, we explore why Gremlins 2 is less a follow-up and more a full-blown act of cinematic rebellion.

We also break down the movie’s satirical takedown of corporate culture, media, sequels, and 1990s excess, along with its fascinating production history and its journey from box office disappointment to cult favorite.

If you love cult movies, chaotic sequels, or first-time movie reactions where expectations get completely derailed, this episode is for you.
