Episode 269 - Walking a Tightrope

Sequels have to walk a tightrope of meeting expectations set by the original while offering more than a rehash of the same plot. Your deadicated hosts see how RETURN OF THE FLY (1959, Bernds) fares with this balancing act! The films stars Brett Halsey, David Frankham and, returning from the original, Vincent Price. Editor's Note: Throughout the episode, Ben mistakenly says "Bill Nye" when describing the make up effects. Bill Nye is the science guy; Ben meant to refer to Ben Nye, the head of make up at 20th Century Fox at the time of this film. Apologies!
