> As for the design? Cash says they modeled the glasses after the 1988 film, They Live, in which a magic pair of sunglasses exposes the subliminal messaging in advertisements.

I have come here to chew bubblegum and block screens, and I'm all out of bubblegum.




I've had the same reaction, "They live" was an unforgettable movie. These glasses appear to have the same design as well


The alley fight scene is one of the funniest scenes ever made. I watch clips of it occasionally and it never fails to make me laugh. What is remarkable about it though is that it's also chock full of cultural commentary.


Nice, I didn't read the article but immediately that movie came to mind.


As a child of the 90s, I always thought that was a Duke Nukem quote. Gonna watch this movie.


You need to watch it with a solid understanding that ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper (the lead actor) was a professional WWF wrestler - often a heel - who regularly got beaten and beat other people for entertainment (no judgement, I was a big fan). Puts his acting chops in a whole new light!
