“The Transformers: The Movie” is fun to wake up to at #bfest. Adult rewatch number three really allowed me to appreciate how much of an #anime. Still think the ball was dropped not casting #roddypiper as Hot Rod.

**They Live (1988): The Story Behind the Cult Classic**
John Carpenter’s *They Live* (1988) is a sci-fi thriller that has grown into a cult classic. Based on Ray Nelson’s 1963 short story *Eight O’Clock in the Morning*, the film follows a drifter who discovers that the ruling elite are actually aliens manipulating humanity through subliminal messages.
Carpenter infused the film with strong anti-consumerist and anti-authoritarian themes, reflecting concerns about media control and corporate influence. Starring professional wrestler Roddy Piper, *They Live* became famous for its striking visuals, memorable one-liners, and the now-iconic “OBEY” propaganda aesthetic.
Despite mixed initial reviews, the film gained recognition over the years, influencing pop culture, conspiracy theories, and even political discourse.
🎥 **Director:** John Carpenter
📖 **Based on:** *Eight O’Clock in the Morning* by Ray Nelson
⭐ **Starring:** Roddy Piper, Keith David, Meg Foster
📍 **Filming location:** Los Angeles, USA

Officially one of the oddest things I’ve ever seen.
I think 85% of the budget must have gone to making Toty! He looked amazing!! #MovieReview #RoddyPiper #Bmovie #Frogtown

No Contest (1995)
You know what? No Contest is okay. Sure it’s a very blatant in taking it's inspiration from Die Hard but scratches the itch and does a few things rather well that honestly surprised me.

This figure didn't come with any of the weapons he used in 'They Live' (since technically it's a WWE wrestling figure of Roddy Piper in that film as opposed to an actual 'They Live' figure. Confusing) so I've given him this somewhat suspicious firearm. Also since the figure doesn't have a trigger hand I sliced into the gripping hand to separate and straighten the trigger finger. Not perfect but does the trick.

Sci-Fighters (1996) - We look to see how hard hitting this Roddy Piper led sci-fi action film from 1996 is.
How did it do in predicting the future year of 2009? #PodNation #Podcast #SciFi #Action #RoddyPiper #BillyDrago #MovieReview
"Life's a bitch, and she's back in heat."
Coming soon to Time Shifters...
1996's "Sci-Fighters"!
In the near future of 2009, Roddy Piper is a cop on the hunt for an old adversary that is carrying a deadly space-virus!
Leave any thoughts on the film below!
Today I learned about a 1985 CBS special where the premise was #RoddyPiper taking over a talk show that was supposed to be hosted by #HervéVillechaize.
I think I may NEED to see this.
