The Fly is Science Fiction’s Most Accessible Body Horror

“Be afraid. Be VERY afraid.”

David Cronenberg has made some incredible movies that are also incredibly gross. This episode of the CineFix Top 100 dives into one of his best, The Fly. Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis star in the story of inventor Seth Brundle and his attempt to master teleportation only to end up becoming a fly for his trouble! Clint and Cal spend another week waiting for Alex to rejoin them, but in the meantime they dig in to the amazing work of professional face-melter Chris Walas, just how much Mel Brooks campaigned for the movie and lament the unfortunate missed opportunity to “collude for Croney” to get more of the Canadian body horror maestro’s work on the Top 100.

Meanwhile, producer Dan’s algorithm teleported itself 15 feet across a room and is now more powerful than ever before…
