About this listen
In this episode, we slip on the sunglasses and see the world as it really is in John Carpenter’s They Live — a cult classic that mashes up anti-capitalist dystopia with cheesy one-liners and 80s action flair. We break down the film’s sharp social commentary on consumerism, class control, and media manipulation, all wrapped in the glorious absurdity of a B-grade sci-fi beatdown. From six-minute alley fights to secret alien cabals, They Live might just be the smartest dumb movie ever made. Tune in as we explore what makes this film a timeless piece of rebellious pulp cinema.
