About this episode
This episode discusses the film 'They Live' as a classic conspiracy theory narrative and explores its themes and characters.
They Live was ahead of its time in many ways. It is an absolute conspiracy theory classic, and rightfully so! ➡️ We are living in a time of total clown shoes. 🤡 ➡️ The character of Frank is pretty compelling because he represents the person who realizes he could wake up but deeply does not want to. ⚠️ Spoilers lie ahead!
