The Fly (1986)

d. David Cronenberg

Starring:
Jeff Goldblum
Geena Davis
John Getz\\xa0

This week on Total Movie Recall, Steve and Ryan enter the telepod together and come out as a new, single entity \\u2014 the Brundlehost. They get sentimental revisiting the powerful tragedy of David Cronenberg\'s The Fly, and Ryan acts like he\'s the first person to ever notice that Geena Davis is one of the great beauties of our time, and Steve tries to break down particle physics and quantum mechanics so even a dumb Philistine like Ryan can understand it. Join us as we transform and leave our frail, useless flesh behind, but watch your step \\u2014 that\'s my ear you\'re standing on.

When scientist Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum) completes his teleportation device, he decides to test its abilities on himself. Unbeknownst to him, a housefly slips in during the process, leading to a merger of man and insect. Initially, Brundle appears to have undergone a successful teleportation, but\\xa0the fly\'s cells begin to take over his body. As he becomes increasingly fly-like, Brundle\'s girlfriend (Geena Davis) is horrified as the person she once loved deteriorates into a monster.
