Happy Halloween! Although David Cronenberg's 1986 remake of The Fly is more interested in exploring existential horrors, its central theme of transformation still made it feel like an appropriate pick for the holiday. It's gory, it's gruesome, and Cronenberg's one-of-a-kind sensibilities are anchored by three incredible lead performances that approach this somewhat hokey premise with total sincerity. Topics include: the unlikely benefactor behind the film, the resistance to casting Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis, how their real life relationship effected the production, some of the more infamous deleted scenes, alternate endings, unmade sequels, and more!
