Non-Cannon ~ Episode 22 - They Live (1988)



As teased, we dive into this cult classic from 80s favorite John Carpenter. In a world fractured by modern life and the drab ennui of an endless conveyor-belt existence, someone discovers they key to it all. It turns out that while we sleep, they live. And now it's time to fight back.

This is an extremely controversial film in a lot of ways, and is not one that would release today, with an intense brutality and bleak worldview that was ahead of its time. We cover that a bit, but also if it holds together as a film. As usual, check the episode for our full thoughts.

Randy's Score: 4/5
