The Fly (1986)

In this episode of Mouths of Madness, we review The Fly (1986), David Cronenberg’s tragic body horror classic starring Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis. We break down the film’s themes of transformation, love, decay, and identity, along with its Oscar-winning practical effects and why The Fly still hits harder with age.Welcome back to the Dungeon of Doom — where the walls are wired, the lab is suspicious, and the telepods look a little too… ergonomic. 😳 Trapped inside a teleportation experiment, the Mouths of Madness somehow still manage to record a long-form horror movie review of The Fly (1986) and descend into full Brundlefly chaos.Expect:🧪 Mad scientist energy🪰 Brundlefly body horror🤢 Practical effects that still make people look away😂 Unhinged jokes (cheeseburger = magic word)🧠 Existential dread (Ship of Theseus, anyone?)😱 “Be afraid. Be very afraid.” (we said it so you didn’t have to)We dive into the gross-out moments, the tragic romance, the science-gone-wrong nightmare, and the generational chaos of 80s kids vs a 2000s kid debating pacing, vibes, and how much Jeff Goldblum exposition should be legally allowed.If you love horror movie podcasts, long-form horror movie reviews, Cronenberg body horror, practical effects, and horror comedy, you’re in the right lab.Your hosts: Kevin, Dan, Bearclaw & LoganProduced by: Nathan📩 Have thoughts on the episode?Email Us- [email protected] The Show!PatreonJoin The Madness!InstagramYouTubeFacebookTikTokLetterboxdMerch🎵 “We All Go Mad” theme music by Nathan
