49. Highlander (1986)

Show Notes

In this rollicking and laugh-filled episode, Jason and Chris have an unreasonable amount of fun talking about 'Highlander', one of the strangest movies of the 1980's and one of the least likely franchise-spawning movies ever, still going strong 30 years later with innumerable sequels, prequels and spinoffs.
