David Cronenberg\u2019s adaptation of \u201cThe Fly\u201d by George Langelaan reimagines the story as one of a gradual, gruesome transformation into a monster with horrifying results. In episode 264, Luke & James consider the \u201cteletransportation paradox\u201d, try to understand the flesh, debate the purpose of shock and disgust, and ask the question: \u201cwould you do it?\u201d They finish by casting their votes on which is better, the short story or the film!
