CHEESEBURGER. The 3rd in our HalloRe’ewind series, where each host chooses their seasonal favourite, sees Gali emerging from his telepod as something transformed - Galifly. We’re talking about David Cronenberg’s classic sci-fi body horror The Fly from 1986.
Brilliant scientist Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum) charms journalist Veronica Quaife (his then-real-life partner Geena Davis) into visiting his warehouse laboratory-come-apartment with the promise of showing her an invention which will change the course of history. Suitably amazed by a demonstration of his revolutionary device for transporting matter, he convinces her to hold off on publishing her findings until he has achieved his ultimate task - human teleportation. They grow closer, but a mixture of hubris and human fallibility leads to a terrifying, slow-burning nightmare of his own doing.
We relive this classic in all its grotesque glory, discussing the pioneering practical effects, memorable score, and affecting performances as Gali, Devlin, Matt and Patrick continue through our Halloween season of tricks and treats.
