Episode 262 - Highlander
from Uncut Gems Podcast · host Uncut Gems Podcast
In this episode of the show, our January series of 80s fantasy movies comes to a close with a discussion about the 1986 Highlander. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how this movie fits into the landscape of the 80's fantasy trend, whether it stands to the side of it or if it heralds the imminent arrival of change. We talk about the many influences packed into the film alongside an even greater number of ridiculous ideas that throw the movie into the realm of camp, 80s accessories, Highlander as a stealth superhero film without a comic book to back it up and much more. Finally, we spend some time wondering if nostalgia is after all a necessary factor for anyone to like it forty years after the film's original release.Tune in and enjoy!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy BurrowsFeaturing: Rich FosterHead over to uncutgemspodcast.com to find all of our archival episodes and more!Follow us on Twitter (@UncutGemsPod), IG (@UncutGemsPod) and Facebook (@UncutGemsPod)Buy us a coffee over at Ko-Fi.com (ko-fi.com/uncutgemspod)Subscribe to our Patreon!
