This week we review the classic 1986 fantasy film, "Highlander."

- In what ways does the opening scene of this movie have significance in 1980s wrestling, including the backstories of eventually-famous Hulk Hogan and Vince McMahon Jr.? And, which Geek is the one to know about it (this should be an easy one)?

- Which Geek noticed something dirty in Connor MacLeod's apartment?

- What do the Geeks feel about the look, tone, cult status, and 1980s-ness of the movie?

- Which Geek compared this movie's cult status and resurgence to that of "Killer Klowns From Outer Space," which the Geeks reviewed in episode #020 (still one of this podcast's best episodes -- and remastered, slightly, a few months ago; give it a listen)?

- Could the Geeks make it 20 minutes into the podcast before mentioning the soundtrack by famous British band, Queen?

- How much did opinions vary about the acting in the movie? Were any performances described as a "block of wood"? Which character was over-the-top for one or more of the Geeks?

- Which actors were allegedly intoxicated sometimes during filming?

- How was the sword fighting in this movie compared to lightsaber duels in Star Wars?

- What do the Geeks think about the basic premise of the movie?

- What did the Geeks have to say about "Highlander II: The Quickening," regarded as one of the worst movies of all time?

- Which Geeks were fans of the Highlander TV show, featuring Connor's distant cousin, Duncan?

- How does the ending of this movie make the continuation of a franchise problematic?

- And, when "Best MCU Phase 1 Movie" was rolled as an upcoming topic, which Geek assumed the obvious answer would be "The Avengers," and did another Geek imply opinions on that topic might not be so obvious?

Listen now for the answers to these and other timeless, ageless, immortal questions, as There Can Be Only One...review...of..."Highlander."
