Wastelands Radio Show - EP 91 - Munchies
WASTELANDS - An Australian B-grade, Punk Rock, Street Trash online radio show hosted by long time partners in slime Adam (085c3n3) Obscene and Mark-O-Mark, pondering punk oddities, b grade movies, and trashy treasures.
In this episode Adam and Mark revisit an 80’s classic about a boy who inadvertently breaks 3 important rules concerning his new pet and unleashes a horde of malevolently mischievous monsters on a small town. sounds like gremlins right?….. nah its Munchies
This 1987 Roger Corman produced comedy could be labeled as the greatest Gremlins rip-off of all time. Well, it is. The Munchies are short little dudes who multiply rapidly and are into creating mischief and wreaking a little havoc. Sound familiar? The funniest thing about the movie is all the Gremlins references. There's a newspaper with Gremlins on the cover, Robert Picardo (of Gremlins 2) stars in the film, and the absolute highlight is the Munchies driving around in a Gremlin with the number plate OH GIZMO. It’s even directed by Tine Hirsch who was an editor on the original Gremlins in 1984. Truly some classic stuff. Other stars of the film include Summer Camp Nightmare's own Charles Stratton and Nadine Van Der Velde from Critters. If you want to see the extremely poor man's version of Gremlins, that is fun and in no way takes itself seriously, watch Munchies here on youtube,
