A medicine cabinet full of body parts! Great gymnastics! Seduce women by showing off your Telepod collection! Science makes Jeff Goldblum even sexier than he already is! Not only did Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis deliver two of their best performances, but they also documented their real-life relationship in an incredibly bizarre way! John Getz as a strangely lovable scumbag! Someone often says the word “meat”! Love despite intense goosebumps! Arm wrestling, that’s it Exaggerated to shame! David Cronenberg appears 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 battle between art and love, in a film that is essentially a dark, alternate version of Spider-Man! Be afraid, be very afraid!
