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!

Compiling my german Zip headcanons!
Made These during school, so there‘ll probably be some mistakes as I‘m not supposed to even bring my phone 😝 (update: hi yes I ended up continuing and finishing this at home)
one of my moots lowkey motivated me to do this
Hope you enjoy this!
CW: Mentions of alcohol/beer, occasional swearing!
DISCLAIMER: These Are Just normal HCS, no x Reader or x Character.
Do not cry "you‘re racist!" As I was both born and raised in Germany.
Some of these are based off of things I as a german have experienced or heard.
———————————————————
☆ I already mentioned this in another post, but she had her first drink of alcohol free beer at the whopping age of 12.
☆ Curses the ever living shit out people in German whenever she‘s really annoyed.
☆ Sneaks beer into school and only shares it with Oliver, Edward and SOMETIMES Miss Circle (Favorite Student privileges)
☆ I feel like Engel at least speaks German, so when Zip, Oliver and Edward are bullying Claire and Engel (as well, I‘m assuming), she‘d throw in something WILD in German and Engel is kinda like: oh that‘s not.. 😀
☆ LOVES Bernd das Brot
☆ She would totally know "Komm, lass uns tanzen." by HEART (alongside Chip).
☆ Although it‘s rare, she sometimes lets out her German accent. For example, she‘s currently rambling and ends up pronounce the German R
☆ Says digga even if she‘s speaking english. It‘s permanently part of her vocabulary.
☆ Dresses with more drip than your average German classmate 💀💀 and she definitely judges them too
☆ When she was very, very young (like around Chip‘s age which I‘m assuming is like 5), she was a HUGE Bibi Blocksberg and Bibi & Tina fan. Had a lot of merchandise of them that she would NEVER EVER share.
☆ Would purposefully draw the ugliest outfits on the characters from the Top Model Books and put the little sticker clothes that came alongside on to the most brutal and metal characters ever.
☆ Always had Satch pencil cases. Thought they wer boring and drew on them. Free canvas lol.
☆ Loves saying German jokes in English to Edward and/or Oliver bc they make no sense in English.
"Hey, hey, guys. Can I tell you a joke?"
"If it‘s funny, go for it."
Zip, who‘s trying to control her laughing "Okay look, Two Hunters met each other."
"And?"
"They both died." Zip bursts out laughing.
"That makes no fucking sense."
"IT DOES"
☆ I feel like she has a little notebook where she writes a bunch of dumb stuff down, including many, MANY German memes only Germans would get. Meine Mama, meine Tante, der kleiner-
☆ Always has that German candy on stock (only for Chip, the coolest little brother!)
☆ Can open a beer bottle with literally ANYTHING you give her (except if it‘s a weak material, then obviously she can’t.)
☆ Praises German lunch knowing damn well it sucks ass. She only likes it because they got a mini burger and chocolate Santa once in kindergarten.
☆ Finds the raw existence of Frankfurt, Berlin, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Bayern so hilarious for no reason
☆ Whenever Engel tries to say something positive in German (idk in what scenario he‘d do this, but imagine he would), she‘d counter react by saying something diabolical in Germany (technically you could count this in another hc I wrote down.. oh well <‚3)
☆ Knows a lot of kid shows, German or not, but always prefers (and often times only knows) the German version of them like; Sofia die Erste, Jake und die Nimmerland Piraten, etc.
☆ makes fun of American food (it‘s so processed okay 😭)
"Haha! Seriously? That Fanta is basically just chemicals! Your stomach will LOVE that chemical burn!"
"Please let me drink in fucking peace"
—————
That‘s all for now! Should I write a German Zip FF? It won‘t be romantic and honestly only contain Zip being a menace but in GERMAN
