I love how he tricked them all "why you always lying?" 😂

[@michaelwong8083]

The Fly is one of the most disturbing horror movies ever. A true classic.

[@lordgorotubbydipsy8610]

Is it worse than terrifier 2?

[@windandcloudshadow158]

​@@lordgorotubbydipsy8610 No but it's 1000 times a better movie.

[@Myopinion47]

The complete silence at the end 😂😂 sign of a great movie!

[@MichaelGilman489]

Also, the sign of an evening of light entertainment gone horribly wrong.

[@nabeelmirza6060]

Probably the best horror movie that is also a tragedy.

[@Missjunebugfreak]

This movie scared me as a kid due to the body horror but as an adult upon rewatching it I find it so tragic and haunting. It's one of my favorite films of all time.

[@davonbenson179]

Yeah, this film is up there with The Thing.

[@YoutubeApestaACACA]

@@Missjunebugfreak Agreed the ending its perfect Cause brundle never was a bad guy. Just a positive guy and very funny. Even after his transformation. But is like a cruel joke to play with things are out of your hands.

“…..so that’s the fly” *utter silence*

[@HallyuHagdom]

The Fly from 1958 gave me nightmares as a kid. Especially the ending... Then this gorefest came out.. 😂 The original was just creepy AF.. this went to a whole other level omg

[@HallyuHagdom]

LMAO the intro though I was snorting.

[@ValentinasWatching]

That version was like a Twilight Zone episode. I've always giggled with the end. "Help me! Help me!"

[@HallyuHagdom]

@@ValentinasWatching It lives in my nightmares to this day hahaha

[@YoutubeApestaACACA]

The original is more like a detective movie. To found who kill the doctor.

[@ArmandtheWise]

27:49-27:54 is the most hilarious part of the video for me! Between Struggle Soldier's facial expression, the dramatic tense music, and Geena Davis screaming in the background all combined makes this an instant classic!

[@danielbirdhead1239]

Your best reaction video to date. The setup, knowing GOD-damn well how it would mortify them. The endurance to withstand the grotesque and PSYCHOLOGICAL aspect of this film, an underrated part of it. Hilarity. Trauma. A little glee having shared your childhood nightmare. Bravo.

[@swacfan100]

The silence says everything LOL. I remember seeing this back in 86 as a kid, I was 10. Still my favorite Jeff Goldblum film, her boss was so hilarious. Geena Davis was so attractive, I loved their chemistry. I like the end when he crawled out of the pod, grabs the shotgun barrel, and puts it to his head. I was laughing at their reaction the whole time. THANK YOU M-DOGG 🤣 🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏽

[@jermainehaslam5634]

The fact that this movie works on so many levels just shows why it's a masterpiece and still effects people to this day. Not only does it work as a horror film and a science fiction film but it mainly works so well as a romance film and that relationship between Seth and Veronica is what brings all of the raw emotion and tragedy to the overall story and this has some of the best acting ever in a horror film.

[@MsPxeDst]

This has to be the BEST reaction to this movie. The laughter at the end of him getting her back 😂😂

[@steve8510]

You'll come for the movie but stay for the shocked faces

[@marcaddow7326]

Jamie and Struggle soilder looked defeated by the end of the fly lol, this movie fucked me up too when I was younger lol. I feel bad for Seth and Gina Davis’s cries broke my heart

[@cesarvaldez112975]

I saw this masterpiece in the theater when I was 10 years old. It should have won Academy Awards for Best Director, Best Actor + Actress and Supporting Actor.

[@yanr4756]

I got my father to take me to see it in theater back then when I was 11. Somehow I thought it would some kind of a Spider-Man like story with him getting strong and agile af... Yeah, no, I had to leave when he started to lose teeth and nails...

[@TiaMarie777]

It won an Academy Award for Best Makeup, A Saturn Award for best horror movie, and an Actor(Jeff Goldblum) It was nominated for a Hugo Award and BAFTA too.

[@cesarvaldez112975]

@@yanr4756 LOL 😂 Oh no, this was no Spider Man story that’s for sure. I myself knew what it was going in. But I got a little bit more then I bargained for. I remember the whole audience in the theater screamed when Seth hugged Veronica after his ear fell off oozing. Still one of my favorite Sci-Fi/ Horror films of all time…that wasn’t a Spider Man film. 🫣

[@pmorton7960]

THIS! This is the reaction I would pay good money for. I laughed so much I couldn't breathe. Thank you so much for this. It's so great having Jamie there too. Next on your shock horror list should be Videodrome or Slither.

Director David Cronenberg is the master of body horror.

Makes sense why it's called getting cronenberged in Rick and Morty. Fun nod.

Thank you M-Dogg and everyone else on the team for the laughs. Time to add this vid to the replay catalogue.

The Fly and The Fly II were literally films I had the best opportunity to see.

You all gotta watch the remake of the Blob next! Another 80s body horror.

So wrong for that but...great reactions! 😆 Poor Jamie traumatized by another movie. Y'all seriously need to get her a more comfy chair. She deserves it for putting up with these movies. 😉

[@LateCambrian]

This is the true S-tier horror movie. Brundle's arc is so tragic it will never get old. Wow, you guys look traumatized.

That was one hell of a troll, good sir! We thank you for your service in suffering through it again to bring us this gem of a reaction.

[@clarissa182]

Poor Jaime. Poor Joe. 🤣 I watched The Fly once when I was a kid and I remember every moment except the pregnancy scene. The scene that stuck with me the most after all 30 years is the arm wrestling. Blergh. It's a good movie, but gross as hell.

[@FireTiger941]

23:50 "Man, fuck ya'll, I ain't finishing this shit!" Hahaha

[@gallendugall8913]

The 1958 The Fly starred Vincent Price. It's pretty good. Relies much more on tension and the monster effects are pretty silly. Worth a watch.

[@peteramthor]

Oh I laughed so hard watching this, my damn sides hurt now. Bravo!

[@r4umediaentertainment831]

End credits start rolling, and there’s just dead, shocked silence. 😂

[@suedoughnim6665]

I love this movie more than I can say. No CGI but the prosthetics and makeup hold up to the present day. The gore is nasty af but I can still watch it a dozen times and not get bored. Believe it or not Mel Brooks put up all the $ for this film.

[@wayoftherose]

I've been up all night, and now after watching this, I will not be sleeping anytime soon for the rest of my day. Those practical effects are unreal. I look like Joe during the dream sequence scene. 😮

[@eerielux4837]

I'm really loving seeing you guys branch out and react to some more classic stuff, your horror reactions are always my favorite! 🖤

[@retiredwifiwarrior]

Me and Mdogg are on the same page, My father showed this to me when I was 10 saying it was one of his all time favorite horror films growing up in the 80s. I agree with him on it being a classic but some of the scenes in the film left me shook

[@MADBD619]

There are reasons of why there are limits, even to our own imaginations. For the uncertainty of our greatest creations, one day meeting our greatest fears. You are about to bear witness to the horrifying consequences inflicted on those who go………………………………………..BEYOND that limit!

So funny how many of us share the exact same experience with this film. I saw it when I was 9 and I couldn’t look at it in full until I was 15. Nothing has scared me as much as this movie did.

Try terrifier 2.

[@wayneramsey708]

You're wrong for this. I love it.

My peeps was shook. The Fly(1986) is macabre Shakespearean tragedy by way of David Croenberg. Jamie's right, Goldblum should've been nominated. Great reactions

@BabyLB The teleporter reminds me of one of my old motorcycles. Cronenberg used an inverted replica of his 1974 Ducati 450 Desmo head and barrel.

This was too funny. 😂 This movie terrified me as a child as well.

[@smoothALOE]

This is the most entertaining reaction video I’ve ever seen. Y’all are great! I love this movie, too. It’s funny y’all said Goldblum should’ve had an Oscar. There was some controversy surrounding his snub that year. They decided because he was in makeup so much, he didn’t qualify. If this movie had been made now, that would’ve been a different story, but in 1986, the Academy wasn’t ready to accept it yet.

[@lordofthereels6790]

Given how much focus Cronenberg's The Fly has on characters and it's lack of locations I'm curious if you could do a stage play version of it.
