The premise
Here’s the bit.
In a 1989 studio meeting, Joe Dante tries to develop a sensible follow-up to Gremlins. Star Magic Jackson, Jr. arrives to encourage the writers, inviting each to design a creature and instantly approving their increasingly elaborate suggestions. The room embraces the chaos while Dante struggles to keep the sequel recognizable.
