They Live (John Carpenter 1988) w/ Nick Sheist (Bad Movies We Love Podcast)

Felicia is joined by Nick Sheist to discuss John Carpenter’s exploration of the evil among us in They Live (1988).

We chat about how the film is relevant now more than ever, and the realistic portrayal of Los Angeles in the 80s.

This is the series opener and diving into the work of John Carpenter seems like a long time coming for this show. We’ll be covering some of his most important work and his fan favourites.
