I'm only 13 minutes in to the podcast, but I came here to say that I ABSOLUTELY deem The Mist worthy of talking about! That movie was incredible. Now I'm going to go back and listen to what you have to say about it!

[John]

Thanks! That makes three of us!

I don't remember what they said in Gremlins 2, but I always assumed that the "after midnight" rule always meant that the mogwai could be fed after dark, but only until midnight. Then, you couldn't feed it until it after sunrise. So, breakfast vs. a midnight snack?

[Drew]

I think that's a pretty good theory, Diana.
