Episode description

It's Halloween and we're bringing you some extra scares with David Cronenberg's The Fly.


Guess who's back? Schrodinger's cat—as well as Jeff Goldblum, who's more fly than ever (sorry). Freda tries her hardest to convince us that teleportation is NOT cloning, Abi ponders the stupidity of arms wrestling, and somewhere there's a black nylon in a tangled mess.


But can ants do amazing gymnastics?
