Every Tuesday during HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST is JOHN CARPENTUESDAY and we’re catching up with some John Carpenter selections that we’ve been long overdue to see. Especially this one considering the pro wrestling appreciation of the hosts as well as the pretty significant cultural reverberations that this particular movie inspired. Critics were not high on it at the time and executives were confused by it, but John Carpenter’s 1988 film “THEY LIVE” is practically the dictionary definition of a beloved cult hit. Then you have the lead, Roddy Piper who had a great year that year and perhaps we were robbed of more higher budget Roddy Piper action fare because he’s a worthy action lead. Nada is a drifter who stumbles upon an intergalactic plot. We’ve all been placated to be mindless consumers by aliens who have infiltrated us at all levels and are transmitting their brainwashing through a TV antenna. It takes some convincing but Nada recruits Frank, played by the great Keith David, to blow these formaldehyde faces to smithereens. Iconic one liners and what might be the greatest fight scene in a movie, you see why it’s beloved. It was only a matter of time before we got to it.
