Emmet Kowler of Sloppy Discs in conversation with Jay Gabler [@jaygabler].

Chaos reigns after a father brings home an adorable (but diabolical) new pet as a Christmas present for his teenage son. Director Joe Dante’s wicked sense of humor and special effects prowess are on full display in this loony demolition derby of American consumerism. A welcome dose of acid to complement the sweetness of the holiday season and a staple of Gen X cinema.
