They Live (1963 Short Story & 1988 Film) | Seeing the Subliminal

  • Summary

  • Did you know John Carpenter’s classic “They Live” was based on a short story called “Eight O’Clock in the Morning” by Ray Nelson? How do they compare? In episode 327, join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they put on their special glasses and see through the lies, learn about the origins of the propellor beanie, have a five-minute brawl with a familiar face, tack “Nada” back to a comic adaptation, and worry about just how relevant it all seems today. They finish out by casting their votes on which one’s better: the short story or the movie!
