Highlander III: The Sorcerer

from Book Retorts · host Book Retorts

Sam decides to throwback to his roots with a recap of the 1994 banger Highlander III: The Sorcerer. Or The Final Dimension. Or The Final Conflict. You decide. Which is actually Highlander II because it doesn't believe in aliens. Anyway, when Connor MacLeod…you know what, it doesn't matter because this is the exact plot of the first movie but with less Sean Connery, more Japanese trapeze artists, and ILLUSIONS. Did you think there could be only one? We're sorry, apparently there are more. Picture, if you will, MacLeod training with Ramirez (Mako) but with ILLUSIONS. MacLeod taking on The Kurgan (Mario Van Peebles) but with ILLUSIONS. MacLeod romancing (RIP) Brenda (Deborah Kara Unger) but with ILLUSIONS (and archeology). Adopted child? Check. Bad guy with road rage? Check. Fight on the catwalk (on the catwalk)? Check. The Quickening? Check. Yes, that's right. The Quickening is back and…better than ever? You thought MacLeod was the last immortal? Sucker. There are immortals for days. Immortals all over the place. Immortals you, and The Quickening, didn't even know existed. Join Danielle as she fails to recall the first movie entirely, which is fine since Sam goes on to recap it again for two hours, but now with special guest Filip from Mind Duck Books, because much like The Quickening…he's back, baby! Special thanks to friend of the pod and honorary co-host Filip from Mind Duck Books for joining us!
