It's officially 🎃SPOOKY SEASON🎃 on GOIN' COMMANDO as the boys ring in October with a deep dive into John Carpenter's 1988 cult classic THEY LIVE starring Rowdy Roddy Piper. This movie obviously had a lot to say about the political and economic climate of Reagan's America and we do our best to contextualize it for then and now. We talk about the homelessness epidemic in America and the way we've always been taught directly or indirectly to interact with and acknowledge our unhoused neighbors. We discuss the naivete of the average American then and now, as well as how badly mental healthcare has been stigmatized. We do fun stuff too though: we dissect the sublime initial scene with Piper and the glasses, the famous extended fight scene, the bank scene with that one line. It's all here. Grab a bowl of candy corn and listen.
