They Live: Body Slamming Science Fiction, Social Commentary and Aliens
February 9, 2023 - 51 min
Today, we will be discussing the 1988 movie They Live, directed by John Carpenter. They Live is a science fiction, action, and horror film that tells the story of a drifter who discovers a pair of sunglasses that allows him to see the world as it really is: a dystopia controlled by aliens hiding among us. The protagonist, played by Roddy Piper, must then fight against the aliens and their control over humanity. The movie explores themes of consumerism, conformity, and class struggle, as the aliens control the world through their manipulation of media and consumer goods. The film also touches on themes of individuality and the power of dissent, as the protagonist fights against the aliens and their control. They Live received mixed reviews upon its release, but has since become a cult classic. It has been praised for its commentary on consumerism and its memorable fight scene, which has been parodied in various forms of media. They Live is a thought-provoking film that still resonates today, with its commentary on consumerism, conformity, and class struggle. If you haven't seen it, we highly recommend checking it out.

Two Days in November Sam Giancana, The Chicago Mafia and the Kennedy Assassination
January 26, 2023 - 42 min
In this episode of the podcast, we will be discussing the soon to be released movie written by Nick Celozzi, which delves into the John F Kennedy assassination and the possible involvement of Sam Giancana and the Chicago Mafia. Nick Celozzi is the nephew of Chicago Mafia boss, Sam Giancana. The movie, which is based on extensive research and the personal recollections of Nick and his uncles, suggests that the assassination of President Kennedy was not just the work of Lee Harvey Oswald, but rather a larger conspiracy involving powerful individuals and organizations. One of the key players in this theory is Sam Giancana, the head of the Chicago Mafia at the time of the assassination. Giancana had a strong motive for wanting Kennedy out of office, as the President was actively working to undermine organized crime in the United States. The movie also presents evidence of a possible connection between Giancana and Oswald, as well as other individuals and groups who may have been involved in the assassination.
