They Live, They Laugh, They Love

About this episode

The Fagan brothers discuss John Carpenter's film THEY LIVE and its relevance today.

Recorded three years ago, and only now dragged screaming from the vault, the meandering Fagan brothers are here to discuss THEY LIVE! John Carpenter's unabashedly anti-Reagan science fiction picture is, sadly, even more relevant now. Laugh to keep from crying as we revisit one of our favorite flicks from the eighties.
