Highlander Rewatched

Returning immortal Carl Robinson’s stint in the MLB is cut dramatically short when some children see him decapitate an immortal challenger in broad daylight, leading to a dramatic MANHUNT (hey, that’s the name of this episode) led by Carl’s former teacher, Will from Will and Grace. Meanwhile, Mac forgets that he satisfied a 400 year old grudge over getting teased last episode and demands that everyone forget the past. The Rewatchers debate the morality of hunting down slavers, wonder why Carl’s coach is such a sad sack, and are rankled by Mac’s constant hypocrisy.

In this edition of the fabled Adrian Tapes, the Highlander dishes all about the outrageous Dennis Berry, director of a jaw-dropping thirty-four episodes including, The Vampire, Methos, and Finale Part II. Tune in to hear about the hot-headed director's clashes with local Parisians, difficulty with a massive smoke screen, and intense loathing of bananas. You won't want to miss a single juicy tidbit!

Richie is back with a bad attitude (dare we say, baditude?), terrorizing immortals and mechanics alike by picking fights and threatening arson. But when Richie takes the head of “Leather Boy,” squire to the immortal sword master “Horseradish,” Duncan steps in to save the day with his classic mix of hypocrisy, smugness, and Joe-exploitation. The Rewatchers celebrate the way Haresh Clay opens doors, waive a not-so-fond farewell to Richie’s sword, and wonder why Joe even bothers.

In another special Adrian Tape, the Highlander himself brings you some deep cuts about his costars (and the origin of ”The Indian you know”)! Tune in to hear all about Richie getting beaten up by a woman at a bar, Tessa’s run in with the cat police (the fuzz?), and an unexpected set visit from a bear.

There can be only one audio file! The Rewatchers engineered a retrovirus to fuse all four episodes of their Highlander: The Search for Vengeance coverage into one unstoppable anime gab fest. Your ears won’t know what hit them! (Amergan... it was Amergan that little Druid scamp).

In the exciting climax of Highlander: The Search for Vengeance, Colin teams up with the nearly nude Dahlia and the world's most inept rebels to take down Marcus (and stuff a grenade in his pet cat's mouth!) before he can unleash a flesh eating virus on the ruins of New York. The Rewatchers wonder why Hello Kitty flies a chopper indoors, breakdown the similarities with the original film, and crown the anime the "second best Highlander movie."

Episode 3 - The Search for Vengeance by Highlander Rewatched

In this chapter, we learn the origins of Colin's titular search for vengeance, as a bout of binge drinking and Dahlia (a prostitute with a heart of gold), trigger gruesome memories of ancient Romans crucifying his wife. When Colin discovers that the Roman leader, Marcus Octavius, now rules New York from a golden tower over Central Park, he teams up with Dahlia for a shot at Marcus's head. Also, he meets an druid ghost at a knock off Stonehenge. The Rewatchers discuss how many swords there are, meet Marcus's pet cat/ Mortal Kombat fighter of choice, and hulk a parking meter out of the ground and throw it 1000 feet like a javelin.

n the first exciting installment of the dystopian anime, Highlander: The Search for Vengeance, Colin MacLeod (allegedly of the clan MacLeod) crashes a BBQ hosted by a gang of demon mutants camped out in the ruins of New Jersey and then aces an immortal monster man that rides around on a six-foot chainsaw. Oh, he is also heckled by a ghost/rat/possessed baseball scoreboard that sounds like Wolverine. Yup- you read all that right! The Rewatchers take deep dive on anime legend Yoshiaki Kawajiri, unpack the initial differences between the American release versus the director's cut, and bid a fond farewell to the unholy mutants of New Jersey- we hardly knew ye.
