Why Not?! Read Alpha Flight with Chris & Tom

Why Not?! Have a Drink: Highlander


Listen Later

Today’s episode gives a sampler of what’s behind the Patreon wall (kinda like the Source Wall, but that’s a DC reference and Chris might not like it…). The holidays ran rough-shod over our recording/production schedule, so we’ll have more of that Alpha Flight sweetness you crave in a couple weeks’ time. But for today…

Welcome to the Why Not?! Have A Drink Thanksgiving special. That's right, this is the only Thanksgiving special we will ever make because there can be only one. And that’s also right, we're pulling a Highlander, alternately titled "Swords Do Not Work That Way"!

A few notes to set the stage:

  • We say we’re going to circle back to a number of items, which we don’t really. It’s just that kind of episode!
  • But! There’s always another bite at that apple with…Highlander 2: The Quickening
  • Chris really can do a Sean Connery. It’s impressive. Probably how he won over his wife
  • Tom suggests that maybe some of the actors should’ve swapped places. Just saying
  • Chris recounts his “sword period”: the pre-social media era was an interesting time to be alive
  • Chris makes some very specific comics comparisons (X-Ternals; Ramirez-MacLeod / Xavier-Summers)
  • One of those comparisons almost nails the weirdness of Highlander 2…
