After last week's detailed analysis of Gremlins - Rufus set Howard a writing challenge: to write a scary but appropriate-for-children, disney-style story - similar, but not too similar, to Gremlins. This week, Howard reads that story... CONTENT WARNING: discussion of suicide.

Rufus watched the 1984 movie, Gremlins. Now he's going to retell the plot to Howard, who has seen the film approximately a million times. We get deep into the loose ends, confusing rules, and mystifying structure of the movie, while still loving every single second of it.

Young Howard wrote a locked room mystery. Unfortunately, he didn't know what a locked room mystery was. ***This episode contains SPOILERS for The Murders in the Rue Morgue (1841)***
