The Fly

Be afraid. Be very afraid. This week on Bury Our Bones With Cinema, Ryan Etherington and Jimmy Murphy (or should we say BrundleRyan and BrundleJim?) take a deep dive into David Cronenberg’s 1986 body horror masterpiece, The Fly. Starring Jeff Goldblum as a scientist whose teleportation experiment takes a gruesome turn, this classic is equal parts terrifying and heartbreakingly human. BrundleRyan explores the film’s deeper themes of ambition, identity, and the price of scientific progress, while BrundleJim uses his quick wit to lighten the mood—because when a guy starts puking on donuts, someone’s gotta laugh. Together, they examine how The Fly manages to be both gross-out horror and poignant tragedy, with groundbreaking effects and unforgettable performances at its core. Whether you’re a die-hard Cronenberg fan or just in it for Goldblum’s eccentric charm, this episode is a must-listen. So climb into the telepod, hold onto your stomach, and tune in—because this one will have you buzzing for days!   You can send any questions about this episode and any general movie questions to [email protected] and we will try to answer yours questions on the pod!
