They Live (1988)

We are here to chew bubblegum and host a podcast - and we're all out of bubblegum. It's WrestleMania week and while we get ready for the granddaddy of them all, join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, and Liam, (Ethan's and Georgia are training for a tag team match) as we're heading to Los Angeles and fighting way too hard not to wear a pair of sunglasses as we review They Live.  Joining us as our mystery tag team partner is our friend Stew from Stew World Order productions.  We're 

• The short story this film is based off of

• We share some stories of Roddy Piper's wrestling career including one we all wish he could take back
• We discuss the news regarding Jonathan Majors and the reaction to it on Twitter
• Whether or not They Live is the Best Film Ever
