27. Gremlins (1984)

(A Ben and Fiona episode - prepare for an Irish potty mouth and bullshit trivia)

I have my very own Gremlin back this week in the shape of Fiona/Stripe (She will never read this, some fan, huh?) to help me tackle this boisterous practical effects-driven 80s Christmas creature feature.

We quickly realise our chief protagonist Billy, who counts a furry mythical creature, a dog he brings to his workplace, and Corey Fieldman dressed as a flattened Christmas tree amongst his best friends, is maybe not the best choice to stop a town full of rampant little shits.

 Big Boy Billy is 21 going on 10!

We have Kate bringing the Chritsmas tone down a tad regarding everyone being happy during this most wonderful time of the year:

"Well, most people are, but some aren't. While everybody else is opening up their presents, they're opening up their wrists."

Yikes, alright, Grinch! While you're at it Kate, go ahead and drop the Christmas turkey on Grandma's head.

Unbelievably, It gets worse... That's not the turkey you can smell Kate...

The way things are going, we'll all be running around partaking in a Purge style Christmas Gremlin spree!

I feel we could all do with a Gizmo in the stocking this year!

The FF crew can now be found over on our brand spanking new podcast: PUSH PULL HEALTH

With a temper as short as her legs, Fiona joins Ben each week to forcefully 'Push Your Health From The Pulls Of Life.'

Expect foul-mouthed narcissistic ramblings on fitness, nutrition, film, and life coaching.

The Weekly Audio & Video Expansion on The world famous 'The Daily Rot' email includes:

Usefully Useless Fitness and Diet advice.
Half-arsed film reviews.
The exploitation of children.
True Crime recommendations.
Nutritious leprechaun-inspired recipes
Narcissistic wisdom.

Howdy,

I'm Ben, the only health coach who allows you to embrace your Rotten attitude toward exercise and nutrition.

I'm not your conventional personal 'rep counter' trainer.

Ok, that was lame!

How about this...

"You either die a Health Rotter or live long enough to become Rotten."

You can only start consuming this content if you tell me where I got the inspiration to poop out that life-changing quote.

Nah, cake for everyone!

Just not Dan Machholz.

Fulfil Your Health Destiny.

There's something for everyone, and no one
