When Rowdy Roddy Piper Saw The Future




The Offering with Jerry Horror show

Summary: This week on The Offering, I’ll be discussing one of the most essential Science Fiction films of 1988, John Carpenter’s "They Live". We’ll be discussing the film’s origins, how Carpenter saw Roddy Piper as the next big action star, and the subsequent effect of the film on the zeitgeist at large. This film has an incredibly fascinating trajectory within pop culture itself. Did I mention it has the always great Keith David squaring off against Piper in one of cinema’s greatest (and overtly long) fight scenes? Tune in and OBEY.
