Is They Live still part of the program? It wasn't pictured in the marathon line-up on the website.

I know our Ohio bretheren have done the Original - Remake double feature at their marathons a time or two.
This will be a first for the Boston edition - if virtually.

Well with that whole deadly global pandemic thing and all, needs must.

On the bright side, if the stream has captioning, no one will have difficulty understanding the dialogue as many have reported with the theatrical sound mix.

     Youre missing the point.
     Once it plays, it cant play again for years, so if you ever wanted to see it properly during a Thon, youre sh*t out of luck.
     This is similar to the frustration I felt when Brainstorm was booked.  There are 70mm prints available, & thats the way to see that movie.  But, no.  We went with a silly 35mm MONO print.  It was like a bad joke.
     The upshot is that both these titles cant be played until a decent interval has passed, & by that time, the prints may no longer exist.
     So, you can say "needs must," but "patience" would perhaps have been the better aphorism.

     I'll grant you, however, that Christopher Nolan cant mix a track.  The man has no ears.
