Summary

We are joined by an incredible guest, comic book artist and author, Stephen R. Bissette, to discuss one of our favourite directors, David Cronenberg! We will be focusing on two key films: first up we’ll explore how a broken marriage spawns monstrous offspring in THE BROOD (41:40), and what happens when a scientist’s self-experimentation goes terribly wrong (when does it not?) in body horror masterpiece, THE FLY (01:52:35). ***Please rate and review our podcast!*** We highly recommend Stephen's book on THE BROOD: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/52562621-the-brood SciFrights is hosted, produced, and edited by Liam Dunn and Lindsay Hallam Music composed and performed by Damo Alexander and Rosie Gilbey Artwork by Millie Hallam Visit our website: https://rss.com/podcasts/scifrights/ Email us at [email protected] Follow us on: Instagram Facebook Bluesky Letterboxd
