    Episode 60 - Happily Not Ever After

    In episode 60, the penultimate episode of Highlander's runtime, Rob Wallis (Twitter: @robertmwallis) and Daniel (@rob_a_daniel) discuss the final scene of the film from a very special location.  Perched on the shore near Eilean Donan Castle, ancestral home of the MacLeod's*, they discuss the vagaries of The Prize, bringing back Sean, Murder-Jesus, The Kurgan + absolute empathy, Connor and Brenda's fate in the novelisation, cut dialogue (including a few memorable callbacks), and whether that final scene might actually have been shot in Wales after all... * Well, at least according to Highlander

Topics of discussion include crash matts, kicking the Louma crane, Brenda saving the day, cheesy line readings, leather crop tops, long-overdue revenge, alternate endings (feat. Blazing Saddles and Monty Python and the Holy Grail), and how Connor's capacity for love overcomes The Kurgan's capacity for evil. Also, does anyone have any idea how to go about licensing a Highlander-themed Pez dispenser? Scott's 'Starburst' review of Highlander 3030

Topics of discussion include The Kurgan's flair for the dramatic, forced perspective models, The Perils of Pauline, the meta-cinematic elements of Michael Kamen's score, Highlander vs Predator, why Connor has dispensed with his trench coat, and what it might mean that the finale of Highlander takes place at a literal film studio. What can we say, but hey, it's a kind of movie magic.
