Showtime at the Senate: Episode 8 - They Live (1988) with author Jonathan Lethem

Showtime at the Senate has returned!

Before quarantine and the COVID-19 virus hit, we planned on screening John Carpenter's They Live (1988) on Saturday, March 28th. The screening is postponed for now, but before all this mayhem hit, I had on award winning novelist Jonathan Lethem on the show to talk about They Live and the Deep Focus book he wrote on the film back in 2010. (available here on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/They-Live-Focus-Jonathan-Lethem/dp/159376278X)

We talk about his experience with the film, why we enjoy watching it so much, Reaganomics, consumer capitalism and one of my favorite characters, the blind preacher.

Recorded at MusicTown Detroit.
