In the sixth episode of Slate’s Conspiracy Thrillers Movie Club, Sam Adams and Time Out New York’s Joshua Rothkopf talk about John Carpenter’s They Live. The two discuss the trajectory of Carpenter’s ping-ponging career, the controversial casting of Roddy Piper as the movie’s protagonist, the film’s overt and coincidental political themes, and yes, that fight scene.
