On the first episode of Tonight's Second Feature James & Rhys discuss their first introductions to B cinema and watch The Fly (1958).
On Season 0 we get warmed up with some of James' personal favourites. The Fly 1958 was released to commercial and critical success and would go on to spawn a remake by the legendary David Cronenberg. Whilst a little silly this absolute gem still lives on strong amongst horror and movie fans alike.
