What happens when science goes horribly wrong? Join us on Screams & Streams as we dissect David Cronenberg's 1986 horror classic, "The Fly." We begin with Mike's gripping retelling of the plot, focusing on the ill-fated Dr. Seth Brundle and his tragic transformation due to a botched teleportation experiment. To lighten the mood, we're sipping on a themed pina colada, crafted to capture the grotesque essence of Brundlefly's metamorphosis, a drink that promises to be as amusing as it is revolting.
We then split hairs over our differing first impressions: Chad's disenchantment upon rewatching contrasts sharply with Sam’s appreciation for the film's dark allure. Mike, meanwhile, dives into nostalgia, recounting his junior high experience of the movie. Expect an animated debate as we spotlight our favorite scenes—the grotesque transformations, Geena Davis's memorable lines, and even the eyebrow-raising arm-wrestling scene in the bar.
In the final segments, we delve into the film's behind-the-scenes magic, discussing casting choices, the intricate makeup process, and deleted scenes that never made it to the final cut. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a curious newcomer, our comprehensive analysis offers fresh insights into this unforgettable piece of horror cinema. Tune in for a thrilling exploration of "The Fly" that promises to entertain and enlighten.
