Movie - Clear Lake (2012)

Part 4 of Rowdy Roddy Piper In this installment, your hosts Andrew, Rob, Mike Ross, and Eric set out to unearth another hidden media gem—this time diving into the lesser-known corners of wrestler-turned-actor Roddy Piper’s film career. With Mike’s pick of the episode, the group shifts focus to the independent Canadian film "Clear Lake" (2012), reflecting on why Piper gravitated toward indie projects later in his career and how those roles may have resonated more deeply with his personal experiences. Together, the hosts swap stories of their limited exposure to Piper’s filmography beyond cult classics like "They Live" and "Hell Comes to Frogtown," sharing humorous anecdotes about wrestling cameos, forgotten action co-stars, and even a Cyndi Lauper music video. Join the Rare Cuts crew as they dissect Piper’s journey from over-the-top wrestling performances to nuanced indie work, and debate whether the rowdy one finally found a role—and a filmmaking community—that fit just right.
