The Fly (1986) feat. Meagan Navarro

<p>Check the windows in your teleportation pod because we're heading up to Toronto to discuss all the gooey goodness in David Cronenberg's seminal horror remake <em>The Fly</em>! Joining us is Bloody Disgusting's lead critic (and co-host of The Bloody Disgusting Podcast): Meagan Navarro!</p><p>Join us as we trace the film's journey from page to screen (rewrites, Mel Brooks, tragedy and <em>Total Recall</em>) before discussing the film's possible AIDS allegory and, of course, all the praise for the film's outstanding and Oscar-winning special effects.</p><p>Plus, respect for the film's handling of abortion (in 1986, no less) normalizing the cock and references to <em>Zenon: The Zequel</em> and <em>Cube 2: Hypercube</em>. Hey, it wouldn't be a Cronenberg discussion if it wasn't weird!</p><p>References:</p><ul><li>William Beard.&nbsp;<em>The Artist as Monster: The Cinema of David Cronenberg</em></li><li>Willow Maclay and Caden Gardner.&nbsp;<a href="http://curtsiesandhandgrenades.blogspot.com/2018/06/body-talkconversations-on-transgender.html?m=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Body Talk:Conversations on Transgender Cinema</a></li><li>Ernest Mathijs.
