Highlander Rewatched

Latest Episodes:

4-6 Reunion Jun 19, 2018

Show notes

Fleeing an evil old-timey boat captain, immortal kiddo/murderer Kenny seeks refuge with Dr. Anne Lindsey, who promptly reunites the little monster with Duncan and Kenny's old teacher, Amanda. The Rewatchers try to figure out why Anne is in this episode, why an 800-year-old still wants milk with dinner, and why the relentless darkness of this episode culminates with non-consensual minor mouth kissing.

Adrian Tapes - 3 - Swordfights, Stunts, and Quickenings (Side A) Jun 12, 2018

Show notes

In the next installment of the Adrian Tapes, Highlander’s most fabled cassettes, we get some AP History with AP himself. Tune in to hear about Christopher Lambert fearing the mighty blows of Richard Moll, the perils of fighting on train tracks, and shooting with a real knife FOR SOME CRAZY REASON.

4-5 Double Eagle May 29, 2018

Show notes

When Mac’s immortal pal Kit (the degenerate gambler, not the talking car) comes to town to buy a race horse, Mac has his hands full keeping him away from Amanda, who once posed as a French tourist to swindle Kit out of a casino. The Rewatchers discuss the rare lighthearted episodes that actually STAYS lighthearted, a life and death library emergency, and Super Mario’s guest appearance as a lecherous creep.

Minsode 4-3 Razorback May 25, 2018

Show notes

In another spotlight on Highlander adjacent properties, the Rewatchers take on Razorback- the first film by the Highlander Russel Mulcahy. In this bonkers outback horror show, an enormous armored boar and a crew of Mad Max villains (separately) terrorize the Outback, claiming the life of a wayward animal rights activist. The activist’s widower must then team up with a disgraced boar hunter and a hot farmer to seek revenge on both man and pig. The Rewatchers dig deep into some vegetarian messaging, drink some weird grass jelly, and make an embarrassing mockery of the Aussie accent.

4-4 Leader of the Pack May 22, 2018

Show notes

In this simultaneously serious and profoundly silly chapter, Mac lets the dogs out on the immortal Kanis (groan), a pervy leather-daddy who hunts down immortals with a vicious pack of dogs. Meanwhile, Richie is somehow able to look up from a giant hot dog long enough to identify a Carrot Top look-alike as the junkie who shot Tessa and transforms into BEAST MODE. The Rewatchers sink their teeth into the completely outlandish style of this leather-clad villain, appreciate Richie's own crime fighting alter ego (Richie Robin), and rejoice in the most bonkers quickening since Mac saw ghosts.

Minisode 4-2 Alligator Shoes May 18, 2018

Show notes

In this one-of-a-kind bonus episode, the Rewatchers discuss the film Alligator Shoes, directed and starring Highlander legend/friend of the pod, Clay Borris! Conflict simmers between the Super Borris Brothers when their young aunt comes to live them after an extended stay in a mental health facility. The Rewatchers talk about building emotional tension, fighting the disabled, chugging beer on film (with no hands!), and unexpected incest. Buckle up, this one is a wild ride!

HLWW - Writers in Arms - A Conversation with Morrie and Alicia Ruvinsky May 15, 2018

Show notes

Did you think the Rewatchers didn't have any more Highlander World Wide content left? You've never been more wrong and you should be embarrassed. The Rewatchers are joined by storied (pun super intended) Highlander writer Morrie Ruvinsky (credits include Not to Be, The Fighter, Brothers in Arms, The Blitz) and his writing/life partner Alicia Ruvinsky (Willie) to talk about blasting out that first draft, taking a Talmud class with David Abramowitz, and dealing with Canadian censorship.

4-3 The Innocent May 07, 2018

Show notes

After an all-growed-up Richie Ryan lures the autistic immortal Mikey into coming home with him with pocket scraps, Richie and Duncan must protect their new friend from a one-dimension immortal headhunter, extreme police brutality, and the legion of unenlightened douche bags populating Seacouver. The Rewatchers shed a tear while debating the virtues of mercy killings, try to compose a more compelling villain than Tyler King, and consider the role of fate in the immortal game.

Minisode 4-1 Dance for Joy May 04, 2018

Show notes

In the rare minisode that actually qualifies as “mini”, the Rewatchers discuss Dance for Joy, Elizabeth Gracen’s short documentary about dance therapy. The team experiences the uplifting power of dance, uncovers the mysterious Highlander Opera, and teases some upcoming goodies!
