The Fly (1986)

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris enter the telepods and discuss 1986's The Fly, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary.

Jeff Goldblum stars as Seth Brundle, an eccentric but brilliant scientist who has been working on creating a way to teleport matter between "telepods".  When he impulsively decides to test transporting organic matter on himself, he doesn't realize that a fly has flown into his pod, fusing their DNA and causing Seth to begin a horrifying transformation.  Zach and Chris discuss the incredible special effects and makeup, other potential issues with the pods combining matter, whether Seth could have monetized his computer system, the late face turn of Stathis (John Getz), and more.

You can buy/rent The Fly on Amazon, Apple TV, Fandango, and more.  Next week, we're discussing a recent Jason Statham movie, A Working Man, as a new Statham movie hits theaters with Mutiny.
