Welcome to Death Don’t Do Fiction, the AIPT Movies podcast! The podcast about the enduring legacy of our favorite movies! It’s October, so that means it’s time for our “Shocktober” series, where we cover movies that go bump in the night! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss David Cronenberg’s 1986 exploration of disease and aging via science-gone-wrong, The Fly! A medicine cabinet full of body parts! Horny gymnastics! Seducing women by showing off your Telepod collection! Science making Jeff Goldblum even sexier than he already is! Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis not only turning in two of their best performances, but also documenting their real-life relationship in an incredibly bizarre way! John Getz as an oddly-endearing scumbag! Someone saying the word “flesh” a lot! Love in the face of intense goopiness! Arm-wrestling that puts Over the Top to shame! David Cronenberg cameoing as a gynecologist! An incredible, but frustratingly-messy loft apartment! Unforgettable FX from Gremlins-designer Chris Walas! One of the few perfect remakes of the 1980s, that also captures the struggle between art and love, in a movie that’s effectively a dark, alternate take on Spider-Man! Be afraid, be very afraid! In addition, Matt shares his spoiler-free thoughts on The Wild Robot, Alex does the same for I Saw the TV Glow, V/H/S/Beyond, and Castle Freak, while Tim acknowledges finally seeing  Deadpool & Wolverine!"}
