"The Fly": Films of 1986
About this episode
The episode discusses the film 'The Fly' from 1986, exploring its writing, production quality, and varying audience ratings.
This week, the boys teleport back to 1986, when Jeff Goldblum was awkward yet ripped and writing was weird, especially for women. Only our second David Cronenberg after “Crimes of the Future”, we dive into “The Fly”: the tropey writing, the B-movie plot outline done at an A-list scale with top-notch hair and makeup, and why we all walked away with different ratings for the movie.
