Highlander Rewatched

Mac finds himself at a severe disadvantage when Watcher Rita (Repulsa) develops an uncomfortably sexual mother/mentor relationship with her immortal charge, Michael Christian, and feeds him insider information to to give him the edge against Duncan and Duncan's implausible former lover, May-Ling. The Rewatchers dive deep into the guts of this episode with some extensive Highlander Rewrites, try to unpack Joe's obligations as a Watcher, and wonder why Richie never gets to have any fun.

To celebrate their 100th episode, the Rewatchers throw a party for all of their favorite "guests" that brought them this far. Things get weird (real fast) as the parade of stars enjoy Keith's replica cocktail wieners, discusses the afterlife with departed friends like Macho Man Randy Savage, and tries to figure out what a "key party" is with Slan the Cat. As a special treat, Christophe and his stunt double/roommate Chris do a jazzy musical number that matches their creepy odd couple vibe!

Thanks for listening to 100 episodes- even when they get bizarre and alienating. We couldn't do it without you!h

In the Rewatchers' 100th episode (no joke- they just broke off a hundo), they are joined by Highlander star and fan favorite Stan Kirsch! Join the Rewatchers as they discuss the evolution of Richie Ryan, some sweet motorcycle doubling, a Highlander convention engagement ring, and the Kirsch method of acting.

Compare notes with the Rewatchers as they tally up Mac's total headcount, quickenings, accrued, and BFF body count. The gang does some questionable math, recalls Duncan's most murderous half season to date, and tries to escape the death sentence that follows all of Duncan's friends.

When Mac's alleged friend Benny "Kielbasa" Carbassa cooks up a dubious plan to blackmail an aging philanthropist with his gangster past, Kielbasa places Duncan and Anne squarely in the ancient gangster's crosshairs. The Rewatchers try to unpack the inscrutable scheme that places our heroes in danger, debate Kielbasa's cartoonish performance, and get bummed out by Anne's puzzling and self-destructive decision to get back together with Duncan.

After a grimy lawyer/sex tape enthusiast films Mac in the midst of a beheading, Duncan must outmaneuver the sleazy litigator's efforts to blackmail him into killing his wife while staying one step ahead of the flamboyant Lyman Kurlow, an immortal criminal that escaped Mac's sweet justice centuries ago. The Rewatchers get lost in an epic hedge maze, enjoy some over-the-top theatrics (and an epic pool flip!) from friend of the show Anthony De Longis, and try to "hold it in" for a stakeout with Joe.

The Rewatchers are back with another Minisode! This week we translate some listener mail from the set of Highlander 2, learn the rules of a new Highlander Drinking Game, and continue our tradition of rating snack foods.

When Duncan suffers recurring nightmares of the Ghost of Christmas Future taking his head, Mac goes to his gargoyle-carving pal John Garrick for advice. The Rewatchers debate municipal art shows, tally Bruce Lee's arsenal of weapons, and wonder why Anne doesn't dump Mac.

In this very special Chronicle Episode, the Rewatchers have a colorful chat with producer Ken Gord, who shares some amazing behind the scenes insights and tidbits from his time on Highlander. Tune in to hear about the Parisian attitude toward the filming of Highlander, the amazing French translation of culottes, and at long last receive the definitive answer to the question that nearly tore the Rewatchers apart. That's right, we finally discover the how many entrances exist to Joe's Bar.

When his supposedly romantic friend David reveals himself to be an abusive ex-boyfriend, Mac refuses to call the police and makes a ham fisted attempt to diffuse the situation himself. It does not go well. The Rewatchers groan over the endless amount of reused footage, get intensely uncomfortable over the apparent moral pushed by this episode, and wring whatever satisfaction they can out of Mac kicking David into a puddle.
