Be afraid... be very afraid. For a bonus episode this year we're returning to the subejct of our fourth podcast for a more in-depth look at David Cronenberg's profound and deeply upsetting remake of The Fly. Filmmaker Alex Sosin gets into the teleporter with us for the grossest love story ever made.

The Fly

Be afraid... Be very afraid... of a twisted fusion of sci-fi horror and romance, as well as man and insect. David Cronenberg's body horror masterpiece haunts not only for its viscerally upsetting imagery, but because that imagery is paired with strong characters and profound metaphysical questions.
