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

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!   Full Video version available on YouTube https://bit.ly/3Xdjc1n Support the show on Patreon for bonus content, merch, and the ability to vote on upcoming projects! https://www.patreon.com/inktofilm Get any of the source novels at the Ink to Film Bookshop: https://bookshop.org/shop/inktofilm Ink to Film's Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky (@inktofilm) Home Base: inktofilm.com   Luke Elliott Recent publications: "Your Black Apron Meal Kit Has Arrived" in the Even Cozier Cosmic anthology https://bookshop.org/a/23566/9781630230975 "Beyond Heaven" in the Beyond the Vanishing Point anthology: https://a.co/d/cTwnwz7 Website: www.lukeelliottauthor.com Social Media Accounts: www.lukeelliottauthor.com/social James Bailey Twitter: https://twitter.com/Jame_Bail IG: https://www.instagram.com/jamebail/ Music:  Ross Bugden "Shoot on Sight" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDQBtKoJP0E
