The Fly & The Swarm (Air Date: 1/3/97)

Happy Splatterday Night, Patreon Pals! Tonight’s ep starts with a deep dive on condoms, and just goes *up* from there. 😉

Two frightfully fun flicks tonight, including The Fly, which he calls “the best horror flick of the 80s”. It‘s great, of corpse, but I’m partial to The Fly 2, personally. I’m always down for a freaky bug movie, though, so I’m totally here for Insect Night! Since he mentions Them!, here’s our pic from when we showed it at the Mahoning Jamboree.

Here are the time codes for tonight’s movies…Enjoy, and have fun tearing the 🖤 outta Saturday Night!

Not even kidding: "Them!" is one of my favorite all-time horror films, and definitely my favorite "atomic horror" film. Also said to be the inspiration for "Aliens." In any case, I would have LOVED to have watched that with you guys. "The Fly" is still one of the gnarliest 80s horror films out there. The tragedy of Goldblum's character becomes more apparent after every viewing. Both of these movies remind me of "Matinee!" with John Goodman. The movie-in-a-movie "MANT!" is still a highlight (and probably something I'd write). Now I want a 1950s-style horror film done with TLDI cast.

They should have done a sequel to The Swarm where the the ghosts of all the dead bees return to seek vengence. It would have been called "Revenge of the Boo Bees".

One of my favorite parts of the Jamboree was sitting alone after the fam had gone to sleep (light weights) and watching this movie!! Such fun!

That would be amazing! I hope I can make it to that one. I sent in some videos from the 2021 Jamboree. Hopefully that means the double feature will be aired soon! 🤞🤞

I know I am in good company 🤓

Yes!!! I think we are doing Drive-In of Dread next jamboree, too. Prob not the same flicks, but that was a heck of a double feature!

You say that like it’s a bad thing! 😋

Love that picture of you two. I think that was my favorite day of the 2021 jamboree. “Drive-In of Dread”. House of Wax and Them was a phenomenal double feature!

Thanks Diana. I am now going to end up Jeff Goldblum impression. Ah yes... Brundle fly 😉🤣🤓🤓🤓🤓. I am such a dork, I know

As much as The Fly is one of the best movies ever made, The Fly 2 is the one I badly want to see you cover on TLDI!
