Description

Be afraid. Be very afraid. For Halloween, we’re marking 40 years of David Cronenberg’s unforgettable body-horror classic THE FLY! Cue up the 1986 film and watch along as we discuss Jeff Goldblum’s career-defining transformation from scientist Seth Brundle into the horrific Brundlefly, along with Cronenberg’s fusion of gruesome practical effects and heartbreaking romance. Listen separately or watch along as we explore why this remake remains one of cinema’s most powerful meditations on love, illness, aging, and loss. It’s the ultimate Halloween treat — but make sure nothing accidentally enters that telepod! Listen ad-free at Patreon: https://patreon.com/MovieFilmPodcast
