What’s up, dudes? “Gremlins” is a classic holiday horror, made better by Jerry Goldsmith’s score and the killer hits of Michael Sembello and Peter Gabriel. Kevin Williams from ‘Tis the Soundtrack joins me to really dig into a couple of cues from the “Gremlins” score and dish about music theory of it all as well.
We first get into the mega madness with the Sembello track. Played during the bar scene, the uptempo dance song set the stage for the “Maniac”-like antics of the dancing green creature. The film also features a track by Quarterflash and Darlene Love’s epically classic “Christmas.”
Goldsmith’s penchant for atonality shines forth in the frantic cue ‘No Santa Claus.’ The Stravinsky-esque eighths are composed of dueling tritones E-Bb and D-Ab and immediately transition to alternating bars of 5/8 and 7/8. Subsequently, all this segues quite nicely into held sonorities overlaid with “Silent Night” as Kate begins her tale of holiday woe. Talk about harmonization!
Altered mystic chord? Check. Catchy mogwai theme? Got it. Synthesizer? Yes, but only if there’s 7 different types! So grab your Roland Jupiter-6, join the orchestra, and play along to this episode all about the “Gremlins” score and soundtrack!

Welcome back, Christmas Cousins, to what might be the most epic episode yet for our SEASON 7 kick off episode—The Trial of Cousin Seth! Yes, it’s time to put our favorite holiday newbie on the stand.
The Christmas Cousins Podcast is all about Seth’s journey to learn the magic of the holidays, but has he learned enough? Done enough? Grown enough? That’s what we are here to decide.
Will everyone’s favorite cousin, Seth, finally graduate to become a bona fide Jolly Junior? Or is he doomed to repeat his year as a Seasonal Sophomore—or, gasp, even be demoted back to square one as a Festive Freshman?
After a journey filled with heartwarming (and sometimes confounding) holiday mishaps—from fall decor disasters to questionable eggnog experiences—it’s time for some tough, festive love.
Joining us on the bench is Cousin Chad, our impartial, ever-charismatic host; Bran from Deck the Hallmark and Christmas Morning, our omniscient judge; and prosecuting powerhouse Joe the Christmas Aficionado, who’s convinced that Seth’s lack of a Christmas tree proves he’s not ready for the next level. Defending Seth is the ever-lovable Bob from Festive Foreign Film Fans.
And yes, there is even a surprise panelist ready to weigh in!
So, what will be Seth’s fate? A candy-cane guillotine, a chug of eggnog that’ll make him gag, or maybe a sweet promotion celebrated with a villa on Lake Como? The trial of the century is underway, and we need your verdict!
Audience Question:
What do you think should be Cousin Seth’s fate—promotion, repetition, or a total reset to Festive Freshman status? Let us know!
