After five long years, Fox finally revisits The Fly with a double-disc reissue that delves deep into the plasma pool of bonus features. In this CineSchlock-O-Rama schlockcast, columnist G. Noel Gross nearly snaps an arm rifling through oodles of extras -- including the infamous monkey-cat scene!!! Yet is the nearly THREE HOUR Fear of the Flesh documentary too much of a good thing? Plus, The Fly II also gets its double-disc due. Sweet vindication for fans of the underappreciated and gloriously grue-slathered sequel. Listen using our Online DVD Talk Radio Player or download the complete schlockcast (27 mins, 16 mb).
