    Lessons from "They Live"

    “They Live” isn’t fiction anymore. TJ uses the cult classic to call out how our world, and even parts of the Church have traded truth for illusions. NOTE: THIS IS THE LAST episode of The Catholic Experience. Follow the links to the new podcast “They Live” isn’t really about aliens—it’s about blindness. In this episode, T.J. Haines tears into the eerie accuracy of John Carpenter’s They Live, showing how the film’s “glasses” reveal not aliens, but our willingness to believe lies. From the Church to culture, he shows how people today see what isn’t there—and ignore what’s right in front of them.
