Because it stands, “Gremlins” had superior a bit, no less than in animated kind, when the prequel sequence, “Gremlins: Secrets and techniques of the Mogwai,” aired on Max in 2023. Even the director of the unique two movies, Joe Dante, deemed that the present may as nicely have been “Gremlins 3,” which made for an gratifying watch. Nonetheless, in his eyes, it is a franchise that was certain to be revisited.
