There Can Be Only One: Exploring the Immortal World of Highlander

Today is a special day because we're tackling what might very well be my favorite movie if the 1980s...Russell Mulcahy's brilliantly over the top cult classic, Highlander! Released in 1986, and based off a student script from Gregory Widen, this tale of sword fighting immortals competing for the ultimate prize is like a big budget music video (complete with an iconic score from Queen!) and features Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery, and Clancy Brown in some of their most unforgettable roles. Join me as we take a deep dive into the Highlander universe -- form the film's origins and legacy on through to the universe of spinoffs it inspired. Just don't lose your head.
