Paul Fricker Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 https://blasphemoustomes.com/2020/05/26/the-fly/ Following on from our episode about body horror, we thought we should discuss an example of the genre. And what better-known body horror film is there than David Cronenberg’s 1986 classic, The Fly? Despite being almost 35 years old, it still has the power to make people squirm and go a little green around the gills. Assuming you have gills, that is. If not, we can just send you through the telepods along with a fish. Once again, the lockdown means we recorded this episode remotely. We hope that we’re getting the hang of making this sound all right. It’s far from the biggest problem current circumstances have presented, but it’s still a challenge. Links Things we mention in this episode include: David Cronenberg The Fly (1958) “The Fly” by George Langelaan Total Recall (1990) Mel Brooks The Elephant Man (1980) Tenspeed and Brown Shoe The Fly II (1989) The Fly: The Opera The Thing The Dead Zone (1983) Max Brooks World War Z Dead Ringers (1988) Cannibal Holocaust (1980) Tetsuo (1989) “Pickman’s Model” Existenz (1999) More Lockdown Specials We are still putting out our fortnightly lockdown specials, discussing films, books and television you might find inspirational in your gaming lives.
