It's scary season, and this year, we've decided to focus on a series of horror films from a director we love in the genre, John Carpenter. For the first in the series, we're taking a closer look at They Live, the 1988 sci-fi action horror film about our evil alien overlords and the drifter hero who brings them down. We discuss the handling of serious themes like homelessness and rampant consumerism, Carpenter's DIY filmmaking style, pro wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper's surprisingly nuanced performance as John Nada, the ubiquitous and uber-talented Keith David's role as the definitive alien-fighting sidekick, long street fights between friends, and the importance of having a healthy disrespect for authority. Put on the sunglasses of truth and join the revolution with us!
