Time Loop of Trauma

By Alma Roda-Gil • January 20th, 2023

There is no catharsis to be had at the end of Returnal’s time loop. It becomes clear, as the player finishes the story, that it will keep going.

Here's the Thing

Two close-ups on a Transformer toy's head and face. Each image is slightly different, as if gremlins were playing with the settings on the production line at the Transformer toy factory.

Gremlins in My Toys

By Rob Rich • January 12th, 2023

Rob notes that gremlins – as a metaphorical concept – aren’t just a problem for the usual suspects. They can also gum up the works during action figure manufacturing.

Gremlins on Board

By Justin Reeve • January 11th, 2023

Before there was the movie, there was the real thing. I’m of course talking about the little monsters that tear apart airplanes whenever pilots aren’t looking.

Casting Deep Meteo

Stripe, Mohawk, Brainy, Linux, Windows

By Levi Rubeck • January 10th, 2023

It’s a miracle any hardware, software, or network has run as long as they have, and we are best not considering that miracle and its ties to nuclear armament systems and whatnot. Better to concern ourselves with the gremlins in our own home, for now.

Gremlin Girl Energy

By Phoenix Simms • January 5th, 2023

Greta is both a problem and a potential solution to that problem, but when read under a more feminist-revisionist lens, she’s charmingly camp, she’s a 90s icon and she’s absolutely that bitch.

Collision Detection

A portrait of the band Mogwai, lined up shoulder-to-shoulder and staring blankly yet directly into the camera, true indie-cover style.

In the Spaceship Over Glasgow With Mogwai

By Ben Sailer • January 4th, 2023

Mogwai are often pigeonholed as the elder statesmen of post-rock. The real story about their roots and influences is much more interesting.

Here Be Monsters

The mogwai Gizmo, from the movie Gremlins, with an exaggeratedly sad frown on his face. He's furry with enormous ears and eyes, the definition of "weird but cute."

By Emma Kostopolus • January 3rd, 2023

Cuteness and horror.
