Sorry for the delay on this episode... we seem to have run out of bubblegum. But, for those who've been patiently waiting for the conclusion of our discussion of Carpenter's 1988 sci-fi/action satire They Live, we've got a whole lot of show for you! This week, Chris and Nick break the film down beat-by-beat, with an eye on its sharp character moments, the witty critiques of 80s-era media and consumer culture, that deservedly famous fight scene between "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and Keith David, and SO much more! We can just about guarantee that, no matter how big a fan of this cult classic you are, we've singled out some things that you've never even thought about before -- you'll never see that garbage truck scene the same way again. Put your sunglasses on and enjoy! And, please join us in two weeks (we promise!) for a very special episode that takes us back to the very beginning of Carpenter's filmmaker career.
