Cutting through the Bull in the Post-Truth Apocalypse

Episode 8 - They Live Movie Special


Listen Later

A lapsed quasi-satanist, a self-proclaimed science buff (with only a GCSE grade B in Physics) and a drug-addled lunatic attempt to navigate the irradiated wastelands and dung-hills of ignorance that is the Post-Truth Apocalypse. A smorgasbord of colourful language, drunken ramblings and the occasional "fact". Fact. Hosted by Ben, Gaz and Mike.
This week the lads discuss the 1988 John Carpenter science fiction classic "They Live". They talk about 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper's lead performance, how the film was a critique of capitalism in an era of cold war McCarthyism and the uber-surveillance of the state in the film and in its wider context. Also mentiioned, the reason Stephen Hawking doesn't read the news, Bart vs the Space Mutants, why it isn't wise to fire handguns into hurricanes, the supposed upcoming alien invasion and Gaz shows us his Hacksaw Jim Duggan tattoo - HO!
