The Fly (1986)

We're stepping inside the telepod this week to revisit David Cronenberg's 1986 body-horror classic, THE FLY!  Is this one of the most disturbing horror movies ever made, or is it secretly one of the greatest tragic love stories of the '80s?  Could teleportation ever actually work, and would you be willing to try it?   Why the heck does he have baboons in his apartment, and more importantly, what does a monthly baboon subscription cost? Is keeping your discarded body parts in a medicine cabinet the most disgusting thing imaginable? How could a movie so gross, make us so emotional?  Grab your favorite insect repellent, check your telepod for unwanted passengers, and be afraid. Be very afraid.   •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:00 - Memories of first viewing •0:05:15  - Pertinent movie details  •0:10:00  -  Critical and fan reviews •0:17:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:32:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **ASPCA- To learn more about Pet Health Insurance, visit http://aspcapetinsurance.com/breakfast  **Cedar Ridge Distillery-  Go check out our sponsor and order some whiskey.  http://cedarridgewhiskey.com **Ethos-  Get your free quote at http://ethos.com/breakfast  **Butcher Box-  Go to http://butcherbox.com/breakfast to get 20% off your first box plus your choice of free ground beef for life or free chicken thighs on or top sirloins in every box for a year. **K12-  See how K12 Powered Schools can help unlock your child’s full potential.  Enroll online today at http://K12.com/confused  **.
