They Live!: ...and I'm all out of bubblegum

You couldn't have a podcast about film without John Carpenter and there isn't much that is more John Carpenter than They Live. Ok, well maybe Halloween, but I digress.


This week I am joined by Nelson from The Dixieland of the Proletariat, an excellent podcast you'll need to check out if you haven't already. We'll discuss the class aspects of this movie as it relates to class, capitalism and of course The Pervert's Guide to Ideology by Slavoj Žižek. Žižek's analysis of this film, among others, is really essential in unpacking ideology. He of course has the classic line: The Name of this trashcan is ideology."
