Media Ghouls Episode 233 - The Fly

This week things get gross as the 2021 Halloween Spooktacular continues with the 1986 remake of The Fly! Jeff Goldblum delivers a memorable performance in one of his most famous roles as a scientist who starts transforming into something inhuman after an experiment goes wrong. Ian couldn't finish this movie as a child while Justin has loved it for most of his life. Having conquered the film for this review, Ian has a lot to say about its dour tone and whether or not Brundle deserves our empathy. Justin's take is far more sympathetic as the Ghouls explore their different interpretations as well as the various allegorical takes on the story.
