born to be kings oh dude how can you not love a movie where queen i thought this is dude i when i saw this i was like oh this is brandon loves queen i do he's gonna love this movie the soundtrack was the best fucking part nothing i mean you know shot who who would have thought the highlander soundtrack was about to jump into my spotify top five just right here to close out the the year yeah thought the opening one that you're saying princes the universe fantastic and then there's the one the

other good one was uh who wants to live forever which is uh which plays when his uh when his scottish wife dies um it like play it's that like a real slow ballad that's a great one too yeah and it's uh it brings up a very you know important philosophical question he's who does want to live forever i don't that'd be fucking terrible i wrote this down i was like i know we talked about this but immortality not for the pod Like, now then I'm going to be a family man, you know, I wouldn't mind, you know, live in long enough to just make sure everything is okay, you know, on the up and up. But then, you know, let's not get carried.

Let's not get carried away. Yeah. Yeah. Immortality, you know, especially this kind of immortality where it's going to, you know, it's not full immortality. You're, because you know it's going to end and it's just waiting for the end. You're just waiting for some dude to come chop your head off. Yeah, you spend all of eternity waiting for a duel to the death with a seven-foot monster named Kurgan.

Yeah. Like, my God, that's it. Wasn't the, um, WWE, the oddities? Wasn't that guy Kergin? Didn't they name him Kergan? Oh gosh. Remember? Remember?

And then the one dude held the Cartman. See, WWE. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, W.W.E. Kergan. I knew it. So, tell the people why we're listening, because I almost, like, literally, we just released the Congo episode. And I was like, you know, why did we do Congo again?

So now that we covered the animated series, we've opened up our connections. You know, we have a larger playbook here. And so with Congo, it was Tim Curry, who voiced Lord Dragonis in the animated series. and a highlight of the animated series tim curry amazing yeah um and his right-hand man siege remember siege great character yeah um look like the turtle looking fucking henchman guy yep um he is voiced by clancy brown who plays plays kirgan he's kirkin sorry we did i want to know a fun fact clancy i who read multiple articles about this movie and about how clancy brown scared all of the people that were working on this movie with how he was acting as kirgan he legitimately scared the staff that character was scary

he's a he's a fantastic like 80s just you know crazy villain you know when he's so good yeah When he's fucking, you know, waving his tongue and motioning like he's eating a vagina to the nuns, amazing. Amazing. The whole him, I knew you would love it, so I made sure to write it down. The whole scene of him in the church, it was incredible acting. I did write down. As he's leaving the church, he says, he screams it. He goes, it's better to burn.

out then fade away which is a very weird quote coming from an immortal yeah because he is not burning out he's been he's been slowly fading away and yeah you don't know shit about being immortal brandon i will say that but i oh then when he when he goes out after he kills the uh the other highlander who shows up um and he like steals the the car and the old ladies just chilling like just hanging from the windshield the process of her getting out onto the windshield was wild like did you see it happening i was like she had she had so much time just to get out of the car to get out of the car i agree dude everything did you see the scene where he you could see the wire on the highlander oh i'm sure you can see the wire in every

scene i didn't i didn't i didn't pick it out though now that was the best part of the movie i was like my god this is everything incredible about movies being made in 1960s you know what it or 1986 you know what it made me think of brandon and you know this is a weird tangent to go on but this is movies unhinged bad movies still somehow being good doesn't happen anymore because of fentany because fentanyl because fentanyl ruined cocaine and so now there's not A writer's room in Hollywood with a mountain of cocaine where guys are just like It really it crang or not crang um i keep i keep calling him crang like from the ninja turtles but fucking dude kirkin has the has a scar on his neck and dude no wait dude shan connery is is an

egyptian pretending to be a spanner dude and his intro is going to be legendary Sean Connery's intro, I wrote down the quote. Sean Connery in this movie is absolutely insane. Dude. I love everything about his intro. Okay, are you ready for it? Ready. I am Juan Sanchez Villobos Ramirez,

chief metallurgist to King Charles, 5th of Spain, and I am at your service. Yes. Yes. It's Sean Connery. Sean Connery in this movie is ridiculous. That's the best. His, dude, you could not ask for a better training surface area than the sick tops of weird random cliffs in the, like, nothing says sword training than a little cliff top or a little.

None of those. What are those called? What are those things called? Like catoes? Yeah, I guess. I don't know. None of those. None of those, like, cliff tops or whatever, none of them even looked remotely like they belonged in Scotland.

Dude. First of all, they would like, you would be like, they would have the normal like Scotland scenes going on. And then they'd pan to like a desert cliff. And you're like, where the fuck did they go? Brandon, I am not going to let you sit here and be smirch. The Sean Connery fucking cliff top. sword-fighting montage. I will say one of my favorite scenes

is breathtaking. One of my favorite scenes in the movie is when they're running on the beach together. I love that. They are just when with a feel the deer. That was that was just the weirdest

most unhinged thing I've ever seen you know in my life. Um, dude, but could you, hold on, I was thinking about this a lot too. Imagine, you know what else? Just imagine if Sean Connery trained me for a red don't scenario, Brandon. Imagine if that happened, too. The other, oh my God.

The other thing I just remember. The other thing I just remember. Sorry. The other scene I just remembered that I fucking loved was when he's, when the other, uh, the, like the other Highlander. guy shows up and he like meets him on the bridge and they you know they start talking about go to a party or whatever and they're like remember last time we partied and then it cuts back to a flashback where he's dueling like some english guy and he just gets the whole duel is just him getting stabbed a hundred times in the guts just laughing at him and then and then for some reason

the dude's assistant runs over with the guns yelling at him to shoot him and then they get in like a fight over the guns and then he shoots his like assisting guy yeah yeah that's wild he had it coming wait hold on brandon we didn't even talk about my favorite part of the movie which is the opening scene the opening with the freebirds at the at madison square garden are you kidding me facing tomatonga and some random guy it wasn't it was it the head head shrinkers right it was it looked like there's some random white dude in the freaking scene along with them but i just yeah the freebirds and then yeah i loved the fucking the dude he was sitting next to is like screaming at it oh you're gonna love this

you're gonna love and then and it's given him PTSD flashbacks of the battle in scotland from when the first time crang or not crang uh corgan uh or not corgan kirgan well that doesn't give him flashbacks to kagan that happens a little bit later that happens it gives him flashbacks to the the scotland early days i don't know if the if the i don't know if it was good if he was getting flashbacks because of the that or if i think he was like sensing the other highlander i think that's what that was he was like oh there's uh the fucking dude there's another dude here i think that's what that was interesting yeah and then that whole the whole scene in the part the fight scene in the parking lot ridiculous the dude did like 17

I knew we were in for a gem when I saw that. It's like, you know, they just don't make sword fighting scenes like they used to, Brandon. That was one of the worst sword fighting scenes I've ever. I actually put in the notes, I was like, all of the fight scenes are terrible. I was like, you know, I'm so glad we've upgraded our fight scenes in movies. i guess the fight scenes have really gone up since 1980s these were these were all so they were doozies like some of the sword play was rough at best like it was like they hired stuntmen that didn't know what to do you know i just anyways i when they first cut off his head i was like

oh shit i forgot they got to cut off their heads yeah incredible It's the only way, the only way to get them. Yeah, I agree, I agree with you, though, Brandon. I have a question. I have a question for you, though. Oh, sorry, I was going to say, if, if they wouldn't have done more Highlander battling and less cop detectiving part of it, I think that would have been a lot cooler. We only see four, four.

Yeah. Islanders, right? Maybe five. But yeah, there's, yeah, we need, you know, you know, more you need a little bit more but i did have a question for you though so is it because my the other fit one of my favorite things about this movie is they don't bother to explain a fucking thing yeah oh dude i knew it was coming i was like god this is the best because it just we just jump right into him they do shit in there sad at the freebirds and then for some godforsaken reason

we don't know there's a huge sword fight in the parking lot no idea why this is taking place no idea who this dude is now you know like if we didn't know because this movie's been out for 30 years 40 years one of the highlanders was that anyways it was just it was back at like a classic 80s we're going to give you no context we're just going to do a whole bunch of cocaine i saw and make a legit movie yeah they don't explain anything they just do shit and expect you to fill it figure it out and they'll figure it out i i read a i read so many articles about this movie one of the articles I read was because it's so good.

It was a piece about the sequels and stuff. And the main point of the article was that is what was wrong with all the sequels and why all the sequels failed is because they tried to explain shit. They did like the

they did the White Hot American Summer thing where they were like, remember all that crazy shit? This is why we did that. It's like, well, now I don't like it. You know? Because they tried to explain away the absurdities. Yeah, it's like,

you just need to lean into it. Yeah, just let it happen. that's the best part it was just it we don't know if it actually made sense ever but my question was um does it have to be another highlander that cuts your head off or like what if you what if you just accidentally get like guillotine just does your head like are you still alive does your head come back on does that work oh that's a good like what if you're like in a car wreck and you like slide under a semi and did what's what did what do they say in the office his uh head was uh what is what does he say i can't i can't remember but god just dunder right the dunder guy gets

decapitated um kind lord and then they give the um what is he roll for the bird yeah um decapitated whole big thing funeral for the bird uh what the fuck was his uh was the quote um i don't know that's a good question that you pose though brandon i my assumption is it has to be a highlander his capa is dictated from his head that's what michael scott says and that's what happened to all these highlanders yeah dude there can only be one. Oh, it's so good, Brandon. It's, it was so good. And the whole there can only be one. Oh, my God. I'm going to say that to everyone. That's another thing. They don't, they don't explain that. And that doesn't make any sense because they lived for 2,000 years with each other. Yeah. There can only be one,

Brandon. I did. Technically, if they ever met, they had to fight to the death, you know. Not to the death. they meet in in Scotland and neither of them die during that battle that's true so but um and then um what was like I said I did love the uh I love the quickening which is where uh when they do decapitate when they do decapitate another Highlander they have the greatest orgasm ever with light lightning and glass shattering the noises that they make after the kills is wild it's wild dude um i i just pulled up one of the reviews on i mdb is good film whose reputation has been dragged down by poor sequels yeah the sequels people hate the fucking sequels uh it's very mixed reaction for this one but

people hate the sequels dude i mean sean connery and this dude time traveling to save the world sounds like a pretty fucking sick sequel but it only has four stars out of ten on i mdb yeah yeah yeah rough so hey i mean do you want to go through like kind of go through the movie a little bit on like how and went down because we've just been all over the place and we've been all over the place um i mean they i get they don't they don't explain anything so I don't know how much of a plot we can kind of run through back and forth at first

in Scotland it switches between him in Scotland and then him in present in New York where he's like a Brenda he's like an antique stealer antique stealer and his his secretary or whatever is some girl he

he rescued from the German from World War II the Nazis incredible Yeah, but so it starts off with the yeah, the crazy. He's at Madison Square Garden. He's having, you know, hallucinations and flashes of stuff. And I think that's because he senses the other Highlander there.

So he goes to leave. He's in the parking lot. The other Highlander jumps out. Confronts him. I forget what he called him. Like Fassel or something like that was his name. Yeah. And so then they have a duel to the death.

He cuts the dude's head off. and then New York loses their mind. Yeah. We got, oh my God, a decapitator. Yes,

they got all the detectives in there. And then one of the, I don't, she wasn't a detective. She was like a forensics. Yeah, Brenda. Brenda.

So she gets involved. Super into swords, dude. Super into swords. Well, obviously. I mean, obviously.

Who wouldn't be? Um, but so, and then her and Connor start falling in love. But so it's interspling. with that and then it cuts back to him in scotland where he figures out he's a highlander and everybody else figures out he's like a mortal so they think he's a witch he has the devil in him and so they they they turned on him real quick dude the

fast is in the way they left him tied up to the thing and then just sent him off after they stoned him and that the dude from game of thrones saved him freaking dude from the night's watch the dude from the night's watch oh that is he is from the night's wash you're right right yeah he was uh james cosmo he was uh he was john stark's um mentor until that one dude killed him in the cabin up north you know yeah yeah uh fucked up it was fucked up but yeah and his

his lady turned on him real quick man she was she was a fucking snitch dude and she wanted to watch him burn she wanted to just burn that dude at the stake i think she knew he was going to leave her and so she's like you know what let's burn this motherfucker i think it was a little bit of projection going on there i think she was a fucking witch she was trying to cover her tracks jesus christ i'm just saying it's you know that's how it always works is the people that are the most vocal about that shit you know tend to be projecting you know oh my god it but so yeah when they certain on him that was good stuff yeah so he goes and lives on the countryside kirgan kergan stabs him too kergan's the one that stabs him kirkin realizes

he's a highlander before he does because he stabs him no he knew he knew he was a highlander that's why he's that's why he's even that's why they're attacking that's right yeah well because he's he's like a russian dude right i think he's russian they're supposed to be russian so and he's he's i'm assuming he's way older than um than that battle and then and conner because he's like aging the he's not part of that clan he's not with him because he's got a whole different you know suit and battle armor and everything oh yeah he's just he's egging him on he's egging him because he before they go into the battle he's like that one's mine every like you have oh that's right and they all avoid him they're all avoiding him yeah he's like that guy's mine

leave him alone and then he gets all he's all weirded out he's like what's nobody fucking fight me Yeah, but yeah, so yeah, Kyrgyn stabs it, like he pretty much kills him without, but you got to chop the head off. You didn't chop the head off. Yeah. But yeah, so all his clansmen freak out on him. He goes and lives in the countryside.

He finds a sweet dame to live out the rest of her life with. And that's when we get Sean Connery is in, when he comes to the montage. Do you think, why do you think, why do you think because again they don't explain anything was you think why do you think he was helping him out they never said he's a highlander so it's i mean and they never fight he yeah won sanchez villa lobes ramirez yeah but his egyptian he was preparing him to fight kergan

yeah but you're right they never he never says why he's there to fight Kyrgan yeah or why he's there to train him

yeah just doing it to be a good bro I guess yeah yeah he's like hey listen dude you were outmatched and outwitted so I got to train you yeah

yeah that whole do that whole thing is wild oh and the fight the fight the rote motel he was staying in oh yeah yeah was it candy the prostitutes uh but the the fight scene with kirgan and um ramirez where they're in the fucking the like the it's not a castle but like the stone whatever outcrop it's like a baby castle and the as it was their sword strikes were having it crumble around them and he told the Heather to run and she never did and then she stayed right she it was the old lady in the car again just run get out of there and then he doesn't ravage you after he murders and chops the head off

the other dude like ugh god just damn it just sitting there screaming at the base of the castle just bringing attention to yourself the one the watching that that little that stone building crumble though with just the obvious like foam foam bricks coming up or it was amazing that was so good it was just an incredible fight scene they're like fighting upstairs it's so awkward yeah there it felt like there was no it's like it was that was another like someone hit a rail it's like dude they should

absolutely sort of fight on stairs up this baby castle they're going to be in a baby castle just going to be really tall freaking silo and they're going to fight on the stairs you're you are so right though that it's it's you know what you know what you know what killed it is when we lost um when uh did jerry bruckheimer die i'm gonna say when we lost jerry bruckheimer but i feel like we is he still alive we double check this oh yeah he's still alive never mind but he has he made anything reasonably though i feel like when he stopped making movies we lost

When they showed the bare knuckle boxing at the market, when they went into the market for Scotland, that was awesome. That was good. Can we talk about how, especially back then and even now, we still, Hollywood still has not figured out how to make people look old. It's always so terrible. Come on. I've never seen a better gray wig with weird makeup in my whole. whole life. Yeah. I can't think of a good one that's that I've ever seen. Can you? I'm sure there's probably one or two, but I can't think of one. It just always it's it's always it's it just

always looks weird. It's like uncanny valley stuff where it's like that just looks slightly off. I will say the three minute commercials there's like two or three of them on prime good lord like three minutes what the fuck dude i'm so sick of these streaming services may charging you to opt out of commercials it fucking bullshit was it uh i think i was watching so pissed i was so pissed about the like i was all into the movie and then all boom three minute commercial i had to run an errand i was doing uh so i think i mentioned this in Congo um oh no i might have cut it out of the episode but i've been listening to uh baseball on the radio because i don't want to i like to log into fox to stream it is just a fucking

number so i've been listening on the radio so i was listening to esp and radio for um one of the uh the blue jas mooners games no way that was good in the middle of an any they did a fucking three minute ad ad break in the middle of an any and i was like what the fuck unbelievable I mean that's not surprising they are they found the best ways to commercialize red zone in like a month yeah

well I don't think they technically or they're not producing it they're soft launching it they're soft launching it they're yeah they think they fully take over it next year I don't think they're soft launching the commercials on it though well yeah you gotta make the money man I don't make the money And then, dude, I will say what a sick first date gift to get like, he comes over to Brenda's house with a gift, which is the book. He was like, I know who you are. But my God, that bottle of scotch or bourbon or whatever, 1783, Brandon. He could smell the memories. That's what a good scotch will do for you, Brandon. And he could smell the memories on that delicious scotch. 1783.

rebranded yeah do you think brenda appreciated it even didn't seem like it i didn't think she drank any i don't think she appreciated anything she's a real real career focused lady yeah not until she found out he was immortal and then she sexed him up real good yeah i will say the set the sex scenes in this movie top notch they were do you feel the passion actually like there's a lot of passion for like our guy and it was not always the best in the action scenes but like the love and intimacy scenes who's who is the main character i don't even remember it's uh it's lamb beer christopher lamb beer is he in other stuff yeah i mean not a ton but he's in other stuff he's he's he's uh he was in mortal combat um what else was he was lord raiden in mortal combat

yeah and then he does uh he does a lot of voice work i'm pretty sure to you but uh but he's french that was the that was another thing i read about is he's he's french and he didn't speak like a lick of english um yeah you could tell his english like it his accent and then they made him have a scottish accent it was the worst he's a scottish guy you know i know but like he it was terrible like it was the worst scottish accent i've ever heard but i still like i said man this oh yeah okay i do remember him from that dude that 95 mortal combat movie was awesome too that's another bad movie that just it just trips it just trips all the right things in me you know so did you know know there's a novelization of this movie what there's also a tv series so i started watching

series is i started watching the animated series oh there's an animated one to you dude the animated series makes this movie like Oscar-worthy. The animated series rough. They did, they've been putting some all the old cartoons. I watched Alftails while I was playing video games. I just had it

on the back. Dude, it was a whole bunch of Alps telling different, like so a Robin Hood and sleeping beauty and like incredible. It's incredible. It's incredible told by Alps, cartoon Alps. It's just, it's

it's a good way to spend your free time if you you know because like the wrestling video games got to focus a little bit more and so you just got to i but i just like i don't like listening to the commentary so i just have something on in the background and alf tales was it brandon it was good you should check did you ever um listen to what song did i tell you to listen to i don't know i don't know i couldn't tell you a single thing you've ever said to me do you don't remember from congo Or you were I sent you away with homework God did you I don't remember that at all I just I just edited that episode two so I just listened to it all over again and I don't remember that oh my lord have mercy Brandon I had to cut I cut quite a bit out of conco I don't know if you

listen to it I cut quite a bit was just inappropriate random stuff all over the place it wasn't inappropriate although we did talk about the casino strippers but it wasn't super it was just we went on a bit it was just nonsense we went on a big barstool rant but cut that out it's like nobody wants to make any sense it made it made sense but i was like it's it's like 20 minutes of us talking about how much we love zach i think i think i think i can cut this out i don't know you know it could that could have been the big piece that it could have been our big break because people could have been like these guys get it these guys get why we all of zack see that's the thing about about getting it though you don't need other people to know you get

it you know you just you just you sit with it internally contently you know because you get because you get it um you know what i did get i got a real piece of joy when kirkin is killing the one highlander that he reminisced about the party with where he was getting stabbed and that marine just starts mowing him down the machine i forgot about the marine and then he gets stabbed with the sword and like skewered and then he throws him off to the side and he's just like ugh then they go and question him and he is unhinged in the hospital that marine the whole marine storyline was unbelievable because he is incredible so it's 1986 which is new york rushing beers driving around with driving around new york city in 1986 he's do he's doing a vigilante thing in in the new york in 1986 which is like

a terrible time to be in new york it's crime ridden like crazy yeah it's like Gotham city yeah and so he's out there trying to be a fucking vigilante with his machine gun or whatever gun he had um and he's fucking he's driving around and he passes and he has an al and he has he has to come across the two highlanders sword fighting like don't bring a sword to an uzi fight boys that must have made his day dude he was just like i got these this is exactly what i got these who's gonna be awesome dude that was that was his red don't situation. He was like, yes, here we go.

Oh, that was, that was so good. He just gets skewered and then tossed aside somehow survives. Yeah. And then is able to be questioned by the police. Yeah. Not only a question, but then he gives a detailed, detailed description to the sketch artist. Oh, my God.

And then I know we're talking. talked to a little bit before because then uh kirgan confronts highlander in the in the church because they can't hurt each other in the church and just him going on that unhinged rant and he like just he like he shaved his head so he wouldn't so they wouldn't recognize him and has the like weirdest looking head like the whole because he's got he's got like a side like a on the side a long strand of hair that he like braided yeah and then he has he had like a weird tattoo on his head too didn't he i don't know if it was a tattoo or it looked like veins it might have just been veins but yeah he was fucking he was god he was all crazy and then he's yeah he's fucking terrorizing the nuns

puts out all the candles that was i laughed out loud and he's just he's like so the nuns are like who he's putting them out and then the priest goes over there it's like people are trying to pray yeah the priest was trying his hardest he was like yeah we're trying to pray here oh my god dude and when he has brenda stab him in the he forces brenda to stab he's like you know this is why you aren't picking up the ladies brand and you can't take him home have him stab you in the heart survive and then hook up with him because that's what i think you'd be a little surprised by my my bedroom activities here's a lot of that a lot of that it's just i was laughing so hard i was like huh so he he forces her to stab him survives and she's like all right

here we go it's on yeah you know it's just nothing nothing more seductive than forced death i don't know i don't know that just it that made me laugh when that happened it says it's like you know what that just really put me in the mood thanks thanks for let me stab you well i think it was more along the lines if she was like uh you know okay this dude's not lying to me he's he's i know he's trustworthy i know brain and i was being a dumb ass but like come on she stabs him in the heart and it was quite it was questionable timing the very next thing is they're making out and then the very next thing is the sex scene and it's like it's like she just stabbed him like i'd have so many questions like i don't know maybe

it's just me i would be boggled down with questions like my brain would just be thrown into a tizzy of questions to ask him yeah but i don't think it would do you any good i don't think he i don't think he knows yeah i guess i guess dude okay even like the montage with connery he doesn't explain anything to him that's true why they're hunting him how well he kind of explains he just says he says there can only be one yeah there can only be one and the quickening is when it all goes down and so when it's all throws down that's the gathering the gathering is when they meet up the quick the quickening is when they is the orgasm right oh that's right that's right that's right yeah quickening is

as the orgasm, the gathering is when they throw down. Yes, yeah. And they kept talking about how they can feel it coming. Like, I feel the gathering coming. That's, like, again, they don't explain fucking anything. But so, like, even bringing up these, these points does us no good because there's legitimately no answer to these.

It's the best. It's the best, Brandon. It's so good. When, when Kogan kidnaps Brenda. after Highlander thinks that he can just say goodbye and she'll be left alone you know that was a terrible assumption but when he well he didn't know he didn't know uh he didn't know about the the the Kergan with the with the other girl with the with the first dame what was her name yeah Heather I thought said Heather yeah but dude when Kergan has

Brenda in the car have you ever played chicken he's he's drive at that that was like three minutes that was like three minutes of him driving the wrong way down a one way street of traffic all of the scenes go on way longer than they should it's like an extra two minutes like they're like let's let's let's let's let's just roll for an extra two to three minutes and then like they like with the like with the church scene there's like Connor leaves the highlander he leaves and the dude just in there for another two two and a half minutes just terrorizing the the the priest that's a bad example because that was funny but they just i mean it just it all goes on like even like the the cop scenes were weird the cop scenes were so i we could we could have cut that out

altogether we don't need any of that yeah that was yeah especially like the weird because they were trying to there was like a weird subplot of like you know cop uh um where they didn't like brenda there was that whole thing which i you know it's i get it it happens but i get like we're we're focusing on the we're explaining the wrong stuff yeah brenda's backstory was not important to the movie as as much as i enjoyed brenda in the movie i thought she did a great job you know shout out brenda i don't know if she's ever been in anything else but she's uh roxan hart roxan heart is that the lady who plays her she's in uh what was she in um she's in a whole bunch of tv shows

she was in fucking um what the hell best known for letters from iwojima what the um what the fuck was that tv show do you have her i mdb pulled up yeah what's what's what's the other known known for stuff i mean there's all kinds of you know how it's does so she's at will trant you know how it gives you the top the top four at the like right underneath the pictures it's movies license to add letters from ewee oh chicago hope thank you chicago hope that's what i was trying to go david e kelly great i take that back not great solid tv writer uh but yeah that's that's where most people will know her from is chicago hope i was like what the fuck isn't even that that show um yes oh and

John Polito is Detective Walter Bloodsoe. He's in a lot of stuff too. He always plays like the same kind of like cop type character. I love so he's in the crow. He was great. And then the other cop, the like tall, skinny one that like arrested Connor. And then they got into that the fight in the where they were calling each other a homoes or whatever. I don't know what that was about.

That whole when the, yeah, like when the. got in a fight with him and started to be that was insane well he was like the cop go the cop was uh the main detective was like you know what do you um like what were you doing in the uh the parking lot the parking garage or whatever and then the the tall skinny like i know what he was doing he was in there waiting for a blow job is what he was doing and didn't like what he was charged yeah yeah didn't want to pay up so he cut his head off yeah Nothing says decapitation like a parking lot blowjob. I mean, you got to be careful with parking lot blow jobs.

You would know. You got to keep your head on a swivel there. All right. Okay. So, dude, when the quickening, when he finally decapitates Kyrgyn and the quickening happens to him. And it's the weird, like, Winnie the Pooh looking ghosts. Like, they used that ghost. Oh, those were so weird.

Yeah. Those were. And, like, the way it, like, raised it. And he's like, I know everything. But see, and that was another thing that, I guess that was the prize. But he, that was the prize, I guess, right, is knowing everything. Because they kept talking about you get the prize at the end. Yeah.

The prize is knowing what everyone in the entire world. this thinking that sounds terrible that's what i thought like that's the worst prize and so he said like he can help people understand each other how rock bottom my self-esteem would be if i knew what everybody thought about me unbelievable he says um one one says at the end you're at one with all loving things now you have power beyond all imagination don't lose your head yeah oh man classic and then highlander ends up in love forever with brenda not forever just until until brenda's but you know it's uh it's a it's real love story brand brand

it's beautiful this listen i this movie was good i don't care what anyone says good is a stretch it was it was it was entertaining that's what it was it was got my favorite was when i was like oh boy the amount of wires just like oh just i bet that i haven't looked on the i mdb page but i bet like the mishaps and stuff is long the goofs you know oh yeah the goof the goose i always forget to look at that uh oh i did we got to talk about the final when he's the final battle between him and kirk and they're on the roof and they flood the roof oh with the with the like the water tower yeah and then because they're in new york the water tank yeah and then i love i love so they flood the top of the roof right completely flooded like four

feet deep all around for flooded and then they end up breaking a hole in the well i guess they They fall into the window, right? Yep, yep. And, but there's no, no water comes down from the roof. Which I, it kind of makes, because they felt through the, like the, you know, like the, I was in a window. It was like a skylight. So I guess it was kind of taller than the water, I guess, if I'm remembering correctly. I guess.

But it was still, it was still so weird to, it was a weird, like, sensory shock. to go from them fighting in four feet deep water to them falling into and then to just be in a weird warehouse fighting it completely dry everybody got so dry so quick it's it's there is the list is incredibly long plot holes there's so there's character errors plot holes geography crew or equipment visible there's a section for the air oh my god oh here we go miscellaneous airs during the final fight scene the roof is flooded after the water tank is broken however when mccloud and kirgan fall through the roof water does not flood into the room with them

yeah boom nailed it nailed it dude yeah but i don't know No. Oh, my God. So we also, when we forget, I forgot to mention it. Oh, they have an Ares and Geography section. That's what I'm saying. Dude, there's, there's so many. There's miscellaneous. There's so many.

But we forgot to it. When he's in the final fight with Kugan after they fall through and Brenda comes down and hits Kurgen with the pipe and Highlander goes, Hey, Hey, what kept you? And then he, like, Hulkomania ups and is like super funny. He like, you know, he gets like a quack attack in him. You know, it's like when the mighty ducks get their duck magic in their bones

and they're hitting the flying V and he's just like, oh, ha, ha, ha, Kergin. He was weird. He needed help. He needed a distraction. And Brenda was sitting there doing nothing for God knows how long. It's the matcher or the three ensemble Cado Cephora of the fact that I just of deniches

Jimmy and across the rooftop trying to survive, Brandon. She almost fell off the roof off the sign when it went down. I was like, when it fell and I saw her on it, I was like, oh, there goes Brenda. There goes Brenda.

Nope, she, she was able to hang on. It was. That was, so that was the other thing. So him, Kergin and Connor fall through the skylight into, or from the window or whatever, into the actual building. They don't even break a bone or an ankle. well they're immortals um yeah but you at least have to like snap your ankle right well unless you if you landed flat on your back you know he is a he is a wrestling fan maybe he fucking you

know he knows how to take he knows how to take it what are they saying take a bump yeah speaking of making cocaine great again but so they they fall in the window she doesn't fall in the window with them though but then she gets down so quick the next see that they cut down and she's already there i wrote that i wrote that down i was like wow brenda with the super speed fucking flash speed to get from the rooftop to where the fight is going the flooded rooftop yeah like just just zips down she something doesn't fall through the roof but somehow beats them down there oh god this fucking movie dude it was so that's why it was oh man this is this is one that was it was so bad it was incredible it just i was cracking up the whole time brandon i

loved this movie it was so good this is one that i enjoyed i knew i know i know it just hit all of my bad movies that heath loves just ticked all the boxes terrible sword fights weird characters like it almost looks like there it's like dubbed you know like for some reason you know like it just uh insane unhinged bad guy that is just he he clancy brown saves this movie without without his like over the top insane villain this falls flat pretty pretty pretty hard you like that that was the one thing um that was the one thing that like congo was missing is you needed and they they were kind of trying to do it with tim curry but you needed that like crazy fucking like they they they needed to play up uh tim

currie's characters his like con man character a little more have him like cause some shenanigans a little more like a real yeah like a real um antagonist yeah we're like because like clancy brown is he saves this movie because he's just so fucking so fucking over the top and ridiculous Yeah, it's incredible. Yeah, it's, dude, the, the, the, the, we've talked about it multiple times. The church scene is a masterpiece. It's a masterpiece. It's so good.

It absolutely is, it's a master class of acting, you know? Like, if you're going to be a bad guy, it's a master class. Did you see in someone tagged Josh Peck in the comments for the red talking? There's no way he looked at it, but I stand by what I, said dude i stand by what i said i'm not afraid but yeah highlander i i don't know if i'll go as far as good i was entertaining very entertaining yeah for two for almost two hours come on i thought they did a good job could if it would have shortened it by like 15ish minutes i think it would have been yeah they could have cut they could have cut a little out for sure or yeah and then

just never never explaining anything ever is amazing yeah it's just stuff just happened it was up to you and your imagination yep you're either you're there along for the ride or you're not yeah you know you're either in or you're out yeah you know and there can only be one that's all that matters yeah uh yeah clancy brown though shout out to clancy for being sure don't forget about sean connery too I mean, Sean Connery, A, he's in, he's in such, his montage is such a short part of this movie. He hated this movie, too.

That was another couple articles I read where he fucking hated this movie. He bad-mouthed it constantly. He's not a fan of it. And he is, he is Juan Sancho Villalobos Ramirez, as chief metallurgist to King Charles Fifth of Spain. We talked about the, you mentioned this, that he's an Egyptian pretending to be a Spaniard, which is one. because he is he's like literally one of the most famous

Scotsman in the world in the history of the world and this movie is rife with Scottish characters why make him why not make him a Scott like he could have been if Sean Conner is

Highlander though dude that would have been awesome well then Christopher Lambert is a Frenchman that you made into a scotsman like would you like we're all over the place guys we're all over the place yeah Sean Connery his Highlander would have been pretty rad yeah pretty rad but anyways all right well let's do cakeies because we pretty much went through the movie it is I mean is it a cult classic do people consider I would say I would say this

is a cult classic for sure yeah yeah okay yeah and you know this one I love checking in on cult classics and watching them and this one is definitely fantastic sword and sorcery it's it's everything you want from a bad movie that is kind of good it's it's perfectly 80s yes oh it's yeah if you want just a taste of like what 1980s movies were like it's just it's everything that you could ever want from a 1980s movie including sean connery you know it's yeah i i loved it it was it's and i'm not going to give it like a typical super high heath cakey rating but i give it a three i'm giving it three out of five cakes just a solid just a solid three just right in there it's just it's a good three movie brandon it's i wouldn't go out of my way

to rewatch it like too much you know but if it's on tn t or something you know it's on sci-fi channel don't leave it on make sure i'll make sure that we we recognize there can only be one yeah okay that's that's a solid three i respect that i figured you were going to give it like a 10 oh no i mean i love it but it's not a good movie you know like it's not good and it hit all my weird nerd stuff but still it's not very good it's and i don't really it's not one it's one that i'm like thankful i didn't have to buy for the pot yeah did uh did kell walk in on this one no no this this one she would have been not actually this unfortunately she would have walked in on this and just been like oh he's watching one of his movies again yeah

watch a lot of movies like this uh okay so solid three for you i it was entertaining i will say that it was very entertaining um i'm going to give it a two six so whoa brandon that's pretty good for you for a bad movie it's just uh it's it's it's below congo i gave congo uh three one i believe so congo but it's yeah it's two six it's it's just like a tick above average just a tick yeah it's it really it's like like everything about this movie is so funny like the the the the highlanders are hilarious the bad guy is so hilarious and good and over the time the bad guy the kurg and clancy brown he that's what makes the movie without without him it has it has zero um not zero but it loses a whole bunch of character without him in it the cop storyline hilarious the cops were just unnecessary

it was so good brandon everything about this movie is good i'm just i'm just i'm so glad we did it. I got to check it off my list of movies that I wanted to check out on Prime. And, you know, I appreciate that. Oh, oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. And so. I don't know.
