Show Notes
In this episode we look at two conspiratorial masterpieces that feature reluctant heroes who discover that the world around them is manufactured to control them. One film is directed by genre master John Carpenter and the other by a rising star of America's new black vanguard. Today we’re looking at 1988’s They Live versus 2023’s They Cloned Tyrone.
