@misspracticallydelulu: They Live (1988) is a satirical sci-fi horror film where a man named Nada discovers a pair of sunglasses that reveal the ruling class are skull-faced aliens controlling humanity through subliminal messages in mass media. The film acts as a critique of 1980s consumerism, capitalism and the "Reagan Revolution". Carpenter is a known influence for the Duffers! Some scenes from the film look eerily familiar 😅 Full tumblr post here: https://www.tumblr.com/misspracticallydelulu/812977562975453184/anyone-heard-of-john-carpenters-film-they-live #conformitygate #strangerthings

Hmm… So that’s why Joe wears sunglasses in interviews!

this also ties to 'Free Guy' with Ryan Reynolds,Joe Keery,Taikia Watiti and Shawn Levy directed.The 'game'is bright and Guy only see's the truth when he puts on the glasses.

This makes so much sense too with the first shadow and Joyce’s play being The Dark of the moon !

All the “consume” signs from that film make me think of “The Consumer” that Jonathan is making
