Naturalish

Boo! Merry Spookmas! It's Naturalish Nights! Deck the halls with webs of cob. Good spookings to you and you kin. That's right! We are in the thick of that age-old festive season and to celebrate Alex and Ben are taking a look at Gizmo, Spike, and the rest of the mogwai from the terrifying Christmas classic Gremlins. How exactly do their famous three rules function biologically? How could they have evolved? And why can't you feed 'em after midnight? From domestication to extraterrestrial experimentation: it's all Naturalish! Science in the News covers the Christmas creep, but not the real one. Alex also fabricates a new segment and holiday season. Big Naturalish shout-outs to Gizmo, Spike, Richard Donner, William Shatner, Chris Columbus, the Royal Air Force, the Twilight Zone, George Miller, Tina Belcher, George Gipe, Joe Dante, The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie Boogie's Revenge, Children of Dune, Patrick Stewart, and young Patrick Stewart (James McAvoy).
