They LiveIn this audio edition of the Film Junk Must See DVD review, Jay and Matt sit down to discuss John Carpenter’s classic sci-fi-actioner, They Live.

Nada, a down-on-his-luck construction worker, discovers a pair of special sunglasses. Wearing them, he is able to see the world as it really is: people being bombarded by media and government with messages like “Stay Asleep”, “No Imagination”, “Submit to Authority”. Even scarier is that he is able to see that some usually normal-looking people are in fact ugly aliens in charge of the massive campaign to keep humans subdued.

    Awesome. This movie is a great one. The fight between Piper and Keith David would probably have to be in my top 10.
