Network gets shown on TCM every so often, and I try to catch it when it is. It is very uncanny in the prediction of reality shows that stoop to the
lowest level.
They Live also is a swipe at the Reagonomics of the time. It is amazing that over twenty years since the movie was released, politicians are still
touting what George Bush Sr stated was voodoo economics. Consume, Obey, and Reproduce without questioning authority. I also think this movie (and a
Stephen King short story) is where all the Reptilian shapeshifter ideas come from.
