Spooky season has officially arrived, and we’re kicking it off with a classic. Shawn introduces Leah to They Live, the 1988 sci-fi cult classic starring Roddy Piper.

Let’s just say […] The post Spooky Season Begins appeared first on The ESO Network.

The Monday Night Wars roll into another pivotal week as Wrestling War Zone returns! On episode 165, Chad & JTbreak down WWF Raw is War and WCW Monday Nitro from October 13, 1997, as the landscape of both companies continues to change heading deeper into the fall of 1997. On Raw is War, one of the defining factions of the Attitude Era finally has a name. After weeks of Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Chyna and Rick Rude causing havoc, Shawn Michaels officially christens the group D-Generation X, using Bret Hart's own "degenerate" insults as inspiration. The war between DX and the Hart Foundation heats up as Shawn continues targeting Bret ahead of their WWF Championship showdown at Survivor Series. Meanwhile, Stone Cold Steve Austin takes another major step toward returning to action. Austin signs the WWF's hold-harmless agreement, explains why he helped Owen Hart win the Intercontinental Championship at Badd Blood, and makes it clear that he wants Owen and the title. When the Nation of Domination takes exception, a young Rocky Maiviagets a firsthand taste of the Stone Cold Stunner. The show also features Owen Hart vs. Kama Mustafa, Shawn Michaels battling Flash Funk, Goldust taking on Savio Vega, Brian Christopher vs. Tajiri and more as WWF's transformation toward the Attitude Era becomes increasingly apparent. Over on WCW Monday Nitro, the road to Halloween Havoc 1997 continues with Hollywood Hogan and the nWo furious over Roddy Piper's authority. The biggest in-ring development comes when The Steiner Brothers battle Scott Hall & Syxx for the WCW Tag Team Championships, with Rick & Scott finally capturing the gold. Elsewhere, Eddie Guerrero defends the Cruiserweight Championship against Psychosis, Dean Malenko battles Rey Mysterio Jr., Curt Hennig defends the United States Championship against Diamond Dallas Page, and the undefeated Goldberg continues the earliest stages of his historic rise. Chad & JT break down: • The official naming of D-Generation X • DX's escalating war with Bret Hart and the Hart Foundation • Stone Cold Steve Austin signing the agreement for his return • Austin setting his sights on Owen Hart and the Intercontinental Title • Rocky Maivia meeting the Stone Cold Stunner • The Steiner Brothers finally capturing the WCW Tag Team Titles • Hogan, Piper and the nWo heading toward Halloween Havoc • DDP and Randy Savage's increasingly personal rivalry • Eddie Guerrero vs. Psychosis • The early days of Goldberg's undefeated streak • Which company won the week in the Monday Night Wars DX has a name. Austin is almost back. Goldberg is starting to roll. The Steiners finally have the gold. October 1997 is becoming a transformative month on both sides of the Monday Night Wars. Join Chad & JT as Wrestling War Zone continues its week-by-week journey through one of the greatest eras in professional wrestling history.   WWF Raw is War October 13 1997, WCW Nitro October 13 1997, D Generation X formation, DX 1997, Shawn Michaels 1997, Triple H 1997, Bret Hart 1997, Hart Foundation 1997, Stone Cold Steve Austin 1997, Owen Hart 1997, Rocky Maivia 1997, The Rock 1997, Steiner Brothers 1997, Scott Hall 1997, Syxx 1997, Goldberg 1997, Goldberg undefeated streak, Hollywood Hogan 1997, Roddy Piper 1997, nWo 1997, DDP vs Randy Savage, Halloween Havoc 1997, Eddie Guerrero 1997, WCW Nitro review, WWF Raw review, Monday Night Wars, WWF vs WCW 1997, Wrestling War Zone podcast, Attitude Era, classic wrestling podcast

In this episode of Jason The Movienauts, the John Carpenter team tackles one of Carpenter'ss most enduring films: They Live. Jason, Paul, and Shawn discuss why the movie's deliberately cheap-looking B-movie aesthetic, Roddy Piper's unlikely leading-man performance, and Carpenter's straightforward filmmaking make it so effective. They explore Piper's chemistry with Keith David, the film's iconic alley fight, its bizarre alien designs, and the hidden meanings revealed by the famous sunglasses. The conversation then turns to the movie's deeper themes: consumerism, Reagan-era politics, class inequality, propaganda, conformity, and the disturbing ways They Live continues to resonate decades later. #TheyLive #JohnCarpenter #RoddyPiper #KeithDavid #MoviePodcast #FilmPodcast #HorrorPodcast #80sMovies #ScienceFiction #CultMovies #CultCinema #MovieDiscussion #FilmDiscussion #HorrorMovies #SciFiMovies 00:00:00 — Why They Live Might Be Carpenter's Best00:13:00 — Roddy Piper: The Perfect Everyman00:29:00 — The Iconic Fight & What It Really Means00:42:00 — The Homeless Heroes & the Politics of They Live00:55:00 — Why They Live Feels More Relevant Than Ever01:15:00 — Final Ratings: Is They Live a 5-Star Movie?

The Monday Night Wars enter an emotional and pivotal new week as Wrestling War Zone returns. On episode 164, JT & Chad break down WWF Raw is War and WCW Monday Nitro from October 6, 1997, just one night after WWF Badd Blood. Raw opens under tragic circumstances as the WWF pays tribute to Brian Pillman, who had passed away just one day earlier. While the ten-bell salute and Jim Ross-narrated tribute video provide a respectful remembrance of Pillman, the WWF also makes the highly controversial decision to conduct a live satellite interview with his grieving widow, Melanie Pillman. Vince McMahon questions Melanie about Brian's cause of death, possible painkiller use, their five children, and how she plans to support her family as a single mother — an uncomfortable and exploitative segment that became one of the most infamous promotional decisions in WWF history. JT & Chad discuss the disgusting nature of putting Melanie on live television while she was still processing the sudden death of her husband, and contrast it with the otherwise heartfelt tribute WWF presented for Pillman that evening. From there, the fallout from Badd Blood begins immediately. Shawn Michaels, Triple H and Chyna continue pushing boundaries as their alliance moves closer to officially becoming D-Generation X, while tensions with Bret Hart and the Hart Foundation continue to explode. After his shocking debut inside Hell in a Cell, Kane makes his first appearance on Raw, destroying Matt & Jeff Hardy as Paul Bearer promises that his monster is coming for The Undertaker. Meanwhile, Stone Cold Steve Austin continues battling WWF management for the right to return to the ring and makes his demand clear: another shot at Owen Hart and the Intercontinental Championship. Over on Nitro, WCW also pays tribute to Pillman before returning to the escalating war between the nWo and WCW. Hollywood Hogan turns his attention toward Roddy Piper and their upcoming steel cage match at Halloween Havoc, while the looming presence of Sting continues to haunt the nWo. The in-ring action also delivers Eddie Guerrero defending the Cruiserweight Championship against Ultimo Dragon, Curt Hennig battling Chris Benoit for the United States Championship, Booker T taking on Jeff Jarrett, DDP challenging Disco Inferno, and more as WCW builds toward Halloween Havoc. JT & Chad discuss: • WWF and WCW remembering Brian Pillman • The fallout from Badd Blood and the first Hell in a Cell • Kane's first night on Raw and Paul Bearer's warning to The Undertaker • Shawn Michaels, Triple H & Chyna moving closer to D-Generation X • Steve Austin demanding his return match against Owen Hart • Bret Hart vs. Hunter Hearst Helmsley • Hogan, Piper, Sting and the nWo's road to Halloween Havoc • Eddie Guerrero vs. Ultimo Dragon • Curt Hennig vs. Chris Benoit • Which company delivered the stronger show on October 6, 1997 The Attitude Era is beginning to take shape before our eyes while WCW and the nWo remain on top of the wrestling world. Join JT & Chad as Wrestling War Zone continues its week-by-week journey through one of the most fascinating periods in wrestling history.   WWF Raw is War October 6 1997, Melanie Pillman interview, WCW Nitro October 6 1997, Monday Night Wars, WWF vs WCW 1997, Wrestling War Zone podcast, Kane Raw debut, Kane 1997, Brian Pillman tribute, Brian Pillman 1997, Stone Cold Steve Austin 1997, Owen Hart 1997, Shawn Michaels 1997, Triple H 1997, D Generation X beginnings, Bret Hart 1997, Hart Foundation 1997, Hollywood Hogan 1997, Roddy Piper 1997, Sting 1997 WCW, nWo 1997, Halloween Havoc 1997, Eddie Guerrero 1997, Chris Benoit vs Curt Hennig, WCW Nitro review, WWF Raw review, Attitude Era, classic wrestling podcast, wrestling history

A Corporate Time — Episode Notes Episode: "Best of ACT: August 31 – September 4" Hosts: Tom & Dan | Guest: Ross McCoy, Tuddle (Patrick), Brian Idol Sponsors / Ad Reads The Pinball Dudes (thepinballdudes.net): Cold-open ad read for Andrew's pinball machine rental business — sets up and rotates machines in lobbies, homes, and businesses; also books private events (birthday parties, etc.). Based in Jupiter, FL, one of the largest Stern dealers around; Andrew delivers, sets up, and teaches customers to play. Phone: 321-591-1062. Segment Rundown Show open / social plugs — Welcome to A Corporate Time, live on Twitch and YouTube; plug to follow @TomAndDanLive on all social platforms and subscribe to the YouTube channel for extra content. Ross McCoy joins, fantasy football draft recap — Comedian Ross McCoy is in studio; the guys recap their online fantasy draft (ESPN graded it an F) and lament that it wasn't done live, unlike a group of kids they saw drafting in person at a restaurant. The gray dog-poop-bag saga begins — Someone left a tied dog-poop bag in front of the studio's French doors in Baldwin Park; Dan is furious about the entitlement, identifies the bag as light gray/taupe, and vows to hunt down whoever's carrying a matching bag. Poop-bag standoff and shame tactics — Ross suggests a yard sign like ones he's seen ("the poop fairy doesn't live here"); talk turns to flyers or a Nextdoor post to publicly identify the culprit. Dan insists he'll never touch the bag himself. Would money change his mind? — Hypothetical debate over what dollar amount would get Dan to throw the bag away himself; he holds firm even at $9,000–$10,000. Concrete Mike calls in with a revenge plan — Phone-in regular Concrete Mike suggests identifying the dog owner, following them home, and leaving his own bagged waste on their porch in retaliation — "bag for a bag." What excuse would be acceptable? — The hosts debate what explanation (a genuine emergency, an apology note) might excuse the offender; conclude no amount of money would work, only a real emergency — tying into a broader gripe about declining everyday consideration. Dog poop etiquette debate — Discussion of whether bagging poop and tossing it in bushes counts as littering (Dan says yes), how to handle loose stool cleanup, and Dan noting his own dog never goes outside her own yard. "I only poop at home" — Tangent on people, including Tom's sons, who avoid public restrooms entirely. Nose-blowing vs. "snorting," and the mustache dilemma — Dan admits he's a lifelong nose-snorter, complicated by bad seasonal allergies and his mustache; considering shaving if the heat continues into a hot September. Jumbo jet flyover video at a South African rugby stadium — The guys watch and discuss a viral video of jets flying extremely close over a packed stadium through pyro smoke, debating whether the proximity is pilot skill or automated collision-avoidance technology, referencing past aviation tragedies. Tuddle (Patrick) joins via Zoom from Oak Hill — Longtime radio friend and stunt performer "Tuddle" checks in; catches up on the old Tom & Dan Airbnb (sold the remaining furniture back to the owner) and a new relationship he's in. Dating advice and "love bombing" — Talk of overthinking texts, "love bombing" vs. "love vacuuming," and ribbing Tom about his one-relationship track record. Tuddle's radio origin story: first hookup, 1999 — Tuddle recounts his producer days at The Crow in Daytona Beach, meeting a woman through an amateur strip contest at the Pink Pony, and an encounter on his program director's couch during a work trip while his bosses slept nearby. More stories from Tuddle's radio days — A hookup during a Fort Myers syndication trip (including having to inflate an air mattress by mouth) and a brief mention of a later fling with a former local news personality. Old-school radio intern/staffer culture — Nostalgia for 1990s–2000s radio, where junior staff ran errands and did off-the-books favors for hosts in exchange for airtime; Tuddle recalls an in-studio incident that got a colleague, Jimmy, suspended. Ellis Rad YouTube shoutout — Plug for Ellis Rad's YouTube channel, which archives old radio station tapes, jingles, and broadcasts. Listener voicemail: Stern reruns vs. the "best-of" model — Caller Ben ("Ben with the white hair") complains that SiriusXM's Howard Stern reruns are padded with unfunny staff-produced bits instead of continuous classic show audio. The hosts explain radio's "airtime as payment" practice for unpaid staffers, noting their own podcast benefited from similar free plugs early on. Kittens, cats, and an animal control ticket — Tuddle got an $85 ticket from Edgewater Animal Control for feeding stray cats living under his house; recounts the confrontation with the officer (a "police academy" jab may have sealed the ticket) and his plan to fight it. Dad's old-school animal stories — A string of stories about Tuddle's father dealing with yard cats, possums, and a stubborn pig when Tuddle was a kid, contrasted with how sheltered his own kids are today. Pig milk trivia — Discussion of why pigs aren't milked commercially (fast, irregular release, temperament) despite pig milk being calorie-dense; a listener named Crystal adds detail via chat that sows release milk in 15-second bursts. Tuddle wraps up — Floats producing a prerecorded segment for when the hosts are on break; mentions the Edgewater mayoral race and a political sign controversy involving a candidate named Diesel Depew. Weird Job Wednesday: NWA National Heavyweight Champion Brian Idol — Wrestler Brian Idol joins via Zoom for the recurring "Weird Job" segment; discusses growing up idolizing Hulk Hogan and later becoming friends with him and an ambassador for the Hulk Hogan Foundation. Breaking into wrestling — Idol describes the unconventional path he took (left home at 16, years of grinding) versus recommending newcomers attend a proper wrestling school, like the one he runs. Social-media fame vs. wrestling fundamentals — Compared to stand-up comedians who blow up online first; Idol says fundamentals still matter most, though pop-culture crossover can open doors. How dangerous wrestling rings really are — Idol explains most local rings are wood and steel with cheap carpet padding, not "trampolines," and describes the physical toll on wrestlers' bodies, citing Hulk Hogan's spine damage from years of leg drops. Trained by Sabu — Idol names Sabu (alongside RVD) as his primary trainer, calling him a quietly all-time-great of the business. The "fake guru" and fake-wrestler phenomenon in Tampa — Idol riffs on viral dating-app grifters and fake WWE wrestlers he's run into around Tampa/Orlando, including one who claimed to be at NXT for over a year before quietly admitting he'd been let go. NWA's TV deal and making it in the business — Idol notes the NWA's deal with Comet and upcoming placement on the Charge Network, reflecting on how small the percentage of pro wrestlers actually earning a living wage really is. A day in the life of a pro wrestler — Gym four to five days a week, frequent weekend travel for shows, and being recognized in public, like at his local Publix. Baby face vs. heel, and the title's history — Idol confirms he plays a baby face on-screen (more of a heel in real life) and discusses the National Heavyweight Championship's lineage, once held by Roddy Piper, Paul Orndorff, and Ted DiBiase, and its connection to his ring name's namesake, original champion Austin Idol. Working for Billy Corgan — Idol praises Corgan's stewardship of the NWA's legacy, describes their friendship and musical collaborations, and recalls touring as an on-stage act during Smashing Pumpkins and Green Day shows at venues including Madison Square Garden and Fenway Park. How wrestling storylines get decided — Idol compares it to a TV writers' room, with Corgan as the main creative force, and says wrestlers earn spotlight through reliability and work ethic. Character vs. real self — Idol relates to the blurred line between wrestling persona and real identity, referencing Hulk Hogan's court testimony, and says he'd choose the wrestling life over anything else despite the sacrifices. Is there a middle-class tier in wrestling? — Idol says most wrestlers are either scraping by or making real money, but he's built a sustainable middle path by also running a wrestling school and renting out rings. Plugging FCW Wrestling Academy and wrap-up — Idol plugs his wrestling school in Pinellas Park (training alongside Natalia Markova and Mike Mondo), mentions two upcoming reality shows airing on Comet, and shows off an NWA-branded lunchbox featuring his own face before signing off. Post-interview banter and sign-off — The hosts riff on Idol's confidence, thank Miguel Cologne for booking the segment, and close out with a bit about a "lobster boy and bearded woman" wedding happening near the studio on Halloween. Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned Halloween: A "lobster boy and bearded woman" wedding happening near the studio; the hosts jokingly consider attending. Coming soon: A new reality show featuring Brian Idol premiering on Comet (no specific date given).

A cop on the edge crosses paths with a man on a mission to find his sister and no one on the streets is safe! Roddy Piper is Officer Roddy Piper and Billy Blanks is basically The Punisher in 1994's Back in Action! This one flirts with the “Buddy Cop” theme but they're not buddies and only one of them is a cop! Billy Blanks is opening cans of Whoop-Ass on anyone dumb enough to get his way. Roddy Piper is throwing clotheslines and brawling without hesitation. This movie goes wild with gang violence, Martial arts, guns, and explosions at every turn…but can it survive a pointless forbidden love story and lame bad guys?! WARNING: VAN VIOLENCE Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!! Patreon: https://tr.ee/UDyHSEtkoY

The Wrestling Mayhem Show dives deep into the increasingly interconnected world of professional wrestling as Sorg, Mad Mike, and TruePrinceofPro (T-Pop!) tackle WWE's growing relationship with AAA, AEW and CMLL's continued collaboration in Mexico, the expanding wrestling landscape in Canada, and plenty happening right here in Pittsburgh. The crew starts with WWE's AAA crossover and the tournament determining who will challenge Roman Reigns in Mexico City. Penta, Laredo Kid, Psycho Clown, La Parka, Dragon Lee, Rey Fenix and more enter the conversation as the hosts debate whether AAA wrestlers are being presented strongly enough on WWE television. They also give Corey Graves credit for putting in the work to explain AAA history and wrestlers to WWE's broader audience—even while questioning the remote commentary setup being used for AAA programming. From there, the conversation heads to AEW Grand Slam Mexico and CMLL, including the incredible atmosphere surrounding the crossover shows, Adam Copeland checking another item off his wrestling bucket list, the unique Bandido/Brody King/Hangman Page trio, and the wild format of CMLL's massive Grand Prix match. T-Pop explains how the elimination format works and why Mexican wrestling continues to offer something structurally different from American wrestling television. The expanding wrestling TV universe also gets examined through Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling, MLW, NWA, AEW, ROH and CMLL. How important is immediacy in wrestling? Does a show lose momentum when its television is months behind the live tapings? And why does wrestling remain such attractive television programming compared with scripted productions? On the local front, there is plenty to celebrate. The crew looks back at 2PW Summer Showdown, including the delightfully unexpected blindfolded Lights Out match, Gianni Michael Emricko and Gorgeous Gregory challenging The Troublemakers for the NWA JCP Southeastern Tag Team Championship, and developments surrounding 2PW's championships. There are also updates from 880 Wrestling's Lethal Lottery, Prospect Pro Wrestling, Enjoy Wrestling and the upcoming Sorgstock. And speaking of Sorgstock: Mikey Montgomery vs. Justin Idol in a Video Game Match is officially on the card for August 28. What exactly is a Video Game Match? Apparently, you'll have to be there. Then things get personal with CM Punk and Kevin Owens. The hosts revisit their complicated history, the real-life stories wrestling fans are already resurfacing, and why these two could create weeks of compelling television without needing to throw a single punch. Plus: Chelsea Green's injury, Johnny Gargano stepping away amid a difficult family situation, wrestling trading cards raising money for the Cauliflower Alley Club, Big Man Tater and his microwave helmet, Tatum Paxley arriving on SmackDown, Mickey Knuckles coming to VCW, and Sorg's reflections after finishing a book about Rowdy Roddy Piper. It's another trip through the increasingly strange, global and wonderfully interconnected world of professionalized wrestling. News Stories & Topics Discussed WWE and AAA expand their crossover: A tournament featuring talent from WWE and AAA will determine a challenger for Roman Reigns in Mexico City, with Penta, Laredo Kid, Psycho Clown, La Parka, Dragon Lee, Rey Fenix and others discussed. Is WWE protecting AAA enough? The hosts question why AAA talent is frequently introduced to the Raw and SmackDown audience without being allowed to score important victories. Dominik Mysterio as AAA Mega Champion: The contradiction between Dom holding AAA's top championship and AAA wrestlers sometimes feeling secondary on WWE television becomes a major point of discussion. Corey Graves and AAA commentary: T-Pop and Sorg praise Graves' knowledge and enthusiasm while examining the awkwardness created by remote commentary involving Rey Mysterio and JBL. AEW Grand Slam Mexico: The Arena Mexico atmosphere, Mexican audience participation, Adam Copeland's appearance and AEW leaning into its CMLL relationship all get praise. CMLL Grand Prix explained: T-Pop breaks down the enormous elimination match and its rotating tag structure, including why it feels so different from the usual American multi-person match. AEW/CMLL/ROH relationships: The hosts appreciate AEW's willingness to work across promotions rather than trying to isolate its roster. Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling: The Canadian promotion's weekly television presence is discussed along with Mauro Ranallo's commentary and the opportunity created by changes in WWE's Canadian distribution. MLW and NWA tape delays: Sorg and T-Pop talk about how months of unaired matches can reduce urgency even when the actual wrestling remains enjoyable. The economics of wrestling television: A discussion of live wrestling production leads to appreciation for how much WWE and AEW accomplish every week and why wrestling remains appealing programming for broadcasters. 2PW Summer Showdown: The hosts recap the show, including championship developments, the blindfolded Lights Out match and Some Guy Named John's spectacular elbow drop to absolutely nobody. Gianni Michael Emricko & Gorgeous Gregory: Their NWA JCP Southeastern Tag Team Championship match against The Troublemakers is part of the 2PW recap. 880 Wrestling Lethal Lottery: T-Pop likes the unusual team of Dev Swayze and Tatiana, while Sammy Suntimer's attempts to bond with Marco Narciso become a source of amusement. 2PW Friday Night Frights: The October 23 Halloween event and an announced casket match are previewed. Enjoy Wrestling's anniversary: Lee Moriarty vs. Amazing Red is singled out as a match worth watching. Sorgstock announcement: Mikey Montgomery faces returning Pittsburgh wrestling favorite Justin Idol in a mysterious Video Game Match on August 28. CM Punk vs. Kevin Owens: The hosts love the early verbal confrontation and dig into some of the genuine history that can add another layer to the feud. Chelsea Green injured: Her orbital-bone injury leads to speculation about recovery time and whether it should affect her championship status. Johnny Gargano: The conversation turns serious while discussing Gargano stepping away to focus on his father during his battle with stage-four prostate cancer. Pittsburgh wrestling trading cards: Falcom Digital Imaging's cards and wrestling-related fundraising lead into recognition of efforts benefiting the Cauliflower Alley Club. Big Man Tater: A gigantic Vader-inspired independent wrestler who enters wearing a microwave becomes an immediate Mayhem Show obsession. Tatum Paxley: Her SmackDown arrival has Mad Mike excited about the potential for increasingly spooky developments. MPX “Who Runs the World”: The chat points out the stacked women's wrestling event featuring a wide range of notable talent. Mickey Knuckles headed to VCW: A breaking local wrestling announcement gets an enthusiastic reaction. Roddy Piper: Sorg discusses finishing the Piper book assembled after his death and reflects on the difference between Roddy Piper the character and the person underneath it. “What We Learned” Breakdown T-Pop: Sometimes the best way to introduce someone is simply to unleash them as a monster. He highlights the AAA debut of a WWE/LFG talent who attacks Psycho Clown, tears away part of his mask and chokeslams him onto a chair. The presentation immediately makes the newcomer feel dangerous. Mad Mike: It was apparently a tremendous week for tater-related professional wrestling. First comes Big Man Tater, a giant Vader-inspired wrestler who enters with a microwave on his head. Then there's Tatum Paxley, whose SmackDown arrival has Mike eagerly anticipating where her character could go next. Sorg: Finishing the Rowdy Roddy Piper book helped reconnect dots between moments Sorg remembered as a fan and the life happening behind them. He particularly reflects on Piper becoming so immersed in the wrestling character that separating “Roddy Piper” from the person himself became difficult, while also remembering his wife getting a chance to meet one of her childhood wrestling heroes. From the chat: Mercedes Moné's wrestling anniversary gets recognized, along with excitement over MPX's upcoming women-focused Who Runs the World card.

Ben and Rob intercept the frequency in John Carpenter's They Live (1988), starring Roddy Piper as a man with nothing, Keith David as a man with just enough left to lose, and an entire ruling class of skull-faced aliens doing their most convincing work in business suits. What begins as the story of how a six-page pulp story from 1963, written by a man almost nobody has heard of, adapted into a comic nobody much read, ended up in the hands of a furious filmmaker who wanted to give the finger to a sitting president slowly develops into something considerably larger; a conversation about the collision of rage, resourcefulness, and sheer unlikely chemistry that produced one of the most politically precise films Hollywood has ever accidentally greenlit and whether a B-movie with a four-million-dollar budget and rubber alien masks is secretly one of the most important documents of the twentieth century.And finally… what does it really mean?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!PLUS we have a Patreon with EXCLUSIVE content just for you starting at less than £2 a month - Click the link below!Find us on your socials of choice at www.linktr.ee/everymovieeverpodcast

This week, we're seeing things clearly with John Carpenter's "They Live." We talk about Roddy Piper and Keith David, how the movie's social commentary endures nearly 40 years later, and why the famous alley brawl still looms so large. Listen now.

When the official White House page declared Harambe a "true patriot" on what would have been his 27th birthday, most people scrolled past. David & Brad take a moment. Because once the government is producing gorilla memorial content while simultaneously installing a UFC octagon on the South Lawn for America's 250th, you have to ask what exactly Valley Forge was for.As it turns out, there's a through-line from the White House's foray into internet meme governance all the way to Denver International Airport's genius plan to silence the lizard-people conspiracy by opening some of the tunnels for public tours, which just tells every conspiracy theorist on earth that the other tunnels are where the answers are. The fix is always worse than the problem, whether you're running an airport, a cruise ship, or a country.The coconut, however, remains the answer. Roddy Piper knew it. Sister Rose Albert Malloy knew it. And if you've spent any time watching influencers validate each other's feelings on a screen, you know it too.

The Mortal Kombat II movie came out… several weeks ago, apparently, but MK Fever is still raging at Zero Issues Central! We finally all saw the movie, so now it’s time to talk all about it! Does it hold up to the mighty 1995 Klassic? What characters and fights were a flawless fatality or a fatal blow to the series? And what of Karl Urban as Johnny Cage? And our favourite character, Cole Young!? But we’ve got a lot more Kombat to Konversate about! We dig into tournaments as a storytelling function, their long history in comics, games, and movies, and the ever-present shadow of “Enter the Dragon”. We match up some Krossover Kombatants, pitting the MK Krew against comic heroes, then dig into the history of Mortal Kombat comics… which is still mostly Malibu’s 1990s MK line, so why hasn’t anyone else done much with this franchise since? And we have a Casting Call for a whole bunch of MK characters — but they have to be actors from John Carpenter movies! That’s right, we’ve got “Rowdy” Roddy Piper as Johnny Cage! James Hong as Shang Tsung! Keith David as Scorpion! Wilford Brimley as Kano! Ernest Borgnine as Goro! And that’s just the tip of the Event Tower. Direct Download: MP3

This week on my show I continue to look back at 1986 and 1987 in pro wrestling history with the recent release of my new book DragonKingKarl's 1986-1987 Pro Wrestling Omnibus, I review the July 28, 1986 issue of Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer Newsletter which features such stories as a disputed AWA World tag team title change between The Midnight Rockers (Shawn Michaels & Marty Jannetty) and Buddy Rose & Doug Somers, the status of Roddy Piper, the arrest of Chris Adams for assaulting an airline pilot, plus the NWA Great American Bash and more!

It's Regional Rasslin' #135 looking at late May and early June of 1982 in the Georgia territory. Jammie Ward returns with host Ray Russell to talk the reuniting of the Fabulous Freebirds (Terry Gordy & Michael Hayes) after a year apart! Plus, Ric Flair has a surprise for Leroy Brown, Masked Superstar & Mr. Wrestling #2 rekindle their feud, Roddy Piper takes exception to Tommy Rich's comments, the mysterious Dr. X has arrived, Buzz Sawyer takes out Kevin Sullivan, Paul Orndorff prepares for a National Title shot, & much more!If you're enjoying WrestleCopia and interested in helping us continue to grow, please consider Subscribing to our Patreon to help us cover some of our costs! https://www.patreon.com/wrestlecopiaYOU CAN ALSO GIFT SOMEONE A PATREON MEMBERSHIP (OR ASK THEM TO GIFT YOU ONE) AT https://www.patreon.com/WrestleCopia/giftIncludes the $5 “All Access” Tier $9 "VIP Superfan" Tier, and "The ULLLTIMATE Tier", featuring our various VIDEO-CAST Series, Early Show Releases, our insanely detailed show notes (for the Grenade, Monday Warfare, Regional Rasslin, Puro Academy, & Retro Re-View), monthly DIGITAL DOWNLOADS for your viewing and reading pleasure, & more!HELP SUPPORT THE SELF-FUNDED WRESTLECOPIA BRAND, CONSIDER DONATING TO OUR PAYPALWRESTLECOPIA MERCHANDISE - https://www.teepublic.com/user/wrestlecopiaVisit the WrestleCopia Podcast Network https://wrestlecopia.comFollow WrestleCopia on “X” (Formerly Twitter) @RasslinGrenadeFollow & LIKE our FACEBOOK PAGE – https://www.facebook.com/RasslinGrenadeSubscribe to the WrestleCopia Youtube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/RasslinGrenade ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

In the newest SCTM episode, we do a listener request and review the 2nd Annual Battle of the WWF Superstars tape from Coliseum Video. We get Sean Mooney dressed as Patton as we watch an epic match between Mr. Perfect and Roddy Piper for the IC title. Too bad the rest of the matches on this tape weren't as good as that one. But we do get a nice profile on Hacksaw Jim Duggan and some Trivia to pad out the tape. You can watch the tape in full on the WWE Vault channel on YouTube at this link. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK5VE-z0Kwg
