Highlander Rewatched

Latest Episodes:

5-12 Revelation 6:8 Jul 29, 2019

Show notes

The Four Horsemen reassemble, armed with a super virus bred by Kronos, to enact Methos’s brilliant plan to... poison a couple people... and then poison a couple more people. However, Methos leaves Duncan a trail of bread crumbs that (somehow) leads him to the Horsemen’s lair in a sweet abandoned submarine base. Predictably, carnage ensues. The Rewatchers bemoan the sorry state of mental health in Europe, break down some bonkers quickenings, and, as always, focus in on fonts.

5-11 Comes a Horseman Jul 23, 2019

Show notes

Cassandra returns to Seacouver and reveals that the lovable Methos was a killing machine during the Bronze Age, who enslaved her and murdered her entire village. Mac must grapple with this new information while battling Methos’s former partner in villainy, Melvin... errr... Kronos. The Rewatchers spin the wheel of history, guess which horseman of the apocalypse is which, and try to figure out if Methos is actually smart.

5-10 The Valkyrie Jul 15, 2019

Show notes

Mac courts one of his trademark moral conundrums when his friend Ingrid, haunted by her failure to kill an overwrought Hitler with a penchant for hiding in shrubbery, arrives in Seacouver determined to kill a ascendant white supremacist at any cost. The Rewatchers take a deep dive into an ethical quagmire, learn the history of boxing rules, and crown the “best cop in Highlander.”

5-9 The Messenger Jul 02, 2019

Show notes

Richie sees the light when a mysterious Ron Perlman, claiming to be Methos, arrives in Seacouver with a gospel of peace, some gardening tools, and a host of ugly sweaters. However, Richie’s new found pacifism is immediately put to the test when a Confederate yachtsman/dirtbag is unwilling to put away his sword (or his leisure suit). The Rewatchers discuss the wider implications of the Church of Perlman, read their favorite Watcher Chronicle to date, and wonder why Richie never gets to have a decent quickening.

5-8 Little Tin God Jun 24, 2019

Show notes

(L)Orca escapes sea world (a South American tomb) and uses his immortality, long hair, and bonkers accent to convince impressionable young immortals that he is god and Mac is the devil. Duncan must spill the beans to a mortal preacher/holy warrior/Pulp Fiction fan to take down the false god. The Rewatchers dive into the implications of immortal religious figures, revisit the rules of the game (yet again) and wonder about a “Carl Robinson” name drop.

5-7 Haunted Jun 17, 2019

5-7 Haunted by Highlander Rewatched

Bonus Episode 5-1 Mail Bag Spectacular! Jun 11, 2019

Show notes

The Rewatchers dig deep into the mail bag to deliver some long overdue responses to some ancient listener mail! Tune in to hear some blisteringly hot alternative takes on Under Color of Authority, join Keith as he stirs up some feuds with our favorite listeners, and learn more than you ever wanted to know about rolling around in the hay.

5-6 Money No Object Jun 04, 2019

Show notes

Amanda unexpectedly reunites with her old partner in crime (literally) Cory Raines, an old time-y immortal bank robber who kicks off a Looney Toons episode when he robs a notorious gangster with a (very very small) army of goons and crooked cops. Mac tries and fails to stop the ensuing tomfoolery without blowing everyone up. The Rewatchers debate Mac’s insane Dennis Berry impression, wonder how many innocent people Amanda and Cory murdered, and groan over a confusing crime spree montage/sepia bonanza.

5-5 Dramatic License May 28, 2019

Show notes

Antics ensue when Mac unexpectedly finds himself the poster boy for a series of schlocky romance novels loosely based on his exploits written by Sandra Bernhard, a mortal novelist with an inferiority complex who is equal parts thirsty for Duncan and hungry for payback against her immortal ex-husband. The Rewatchers shop for some tenderloin, discuss Mac's thoughts on immortal monogamy, and read a special behind the scenes letter from a fan on set!

5-4 Glory Days May 21, 2019

Show notes

Mac sees the true face of Johnny Cage, an immortal assassin and master of disguise, setting off a game of cat and mouse that can only be solved with Home Alone style antics, endangering Joe (as always), and tens of thousands of dollars in last minute advertising. Meanwhile, during a much better plot, Joe reconnects with an old flame and struggles to reveal his old injuries to a woman that knew him as an all-star athlete. The Rewatchers discuss a world-class performance from Jim Byrnes, recount their hands-on experience with the fight choreography, and bemoan the glommed on A-plot.
