CGI Flydays - EEGA

In CGI Flydays, Dustin, Gimcrack, and returning guest Gabe dive into S.S. Rajamouli’s gloriously excessive 2012 Telugu fantasy-revenge film about a murdered man reincarnated as a CGI housefly.

What begins as a romantic melodrama quickly becomes a full-scale Looney Tunes assassination campaign involving fly vision, micro armor, tiny weapons, occult sparrows, an increasingly unhinged billionaire, and one of the most spectacularly over-the-top fiery finales ever committed to film.

We discuss why Sudeep is a certified sexual icon, whether humanity has dangerously underestimated the intelligence of flies, how Eega compares to RRR, and why a movie this good leaves a comedy podcast with surprisingly little to complain about.

Plus: no trailer tonight, clone containment failures, inherited memories, Patrick’s uncertain medical status, plans for three unnecessary sequels, and Gabe’s future blockbuster Horse Dog—a touching story involving a doglike horse, an evil land developer, and a deeply suspicious incident in Needles.
