The ContrariansBonus! - The Fly (1958)

The Fly? What fly? This movie should’ve been called “The Man Covering His Head With a Jacket”. Listen to Alex and Julio as they ease out of The Autumn of the Remakes by discussing a 50s monster movie classic and discover Canadian scientists are even more irresponsible than American ones! Not just that, but it also turns out that Vincent Price was not above slumming it for cash!
