  • What if the ads all around you were trying to tell you how to live your life?! Oh wait, they do, but what if ALIENS were the ones behind it all?

    This week, Ad Cinema Club is watching John Carpenter's "They Live", a sci-fi/action cult classic starring wrestler "Rowdy" Roddy Piper.

    What does this near-future dystopian commentary on consumerism have to say about advertising? "Nothing good," as our co-host Ashley Rutstein puts it.
