Zebras In America

Popcorn Eschaton 19 - 'Modern Times' And 'They Live' With Prof. Stephen McFarland


Listen Later

Professor Stephen McFarland joins Scott and John to discuss Charlie Chaplin's 'Modern Times,' John Carpenter's 'They Live,' and the representation of the working poor on film. What does the staying power of Chaplin's "The Tramp" say about how we view the oppressed? What does the vision of society in 'They Live' tell us about how the media itself views those same oppressed people? All this, and all the shirtless Roddy Piper talk you can handle on Popcorn Eschaton!
