Another Time, MacLeod‪!‬ Robs Wallis & Daniel (and guests!)

In this very special episode of ANOTHER TIME, MACLEOD!, Robs Wallis and Daniel recount their recent experience at London Comic Con, including meeting both Christopher Lambert and Beatie Edney. Unexpectedly, another member of the Highlander cast and crew was also in attendance... Rob W also shows off some exclusive ATM merch and Rob D talks about his favourite cosplays. 

In the season finale, Robs Daniel (Twitter: @rob_a_daniel) and Wallis (@robertmwallis) complete their scene-by-scene analysis of the original Highlander with a discussion of the credit sequence. 

Also featuring the vocal talents of Sarah Johnson (@strappinglass), Mark and Elaine Gregerson (@thehoneymoonpod), MJ Smith (@MJSmith891), Cameron Harrison (@GreenShirt87), Jesse Bailey (@SuddenBut), and Adrian Zak (@ajzak).

Special thanks to Scott Varnham (@HighlanderStuff) for his potted review of the recently-released Highlander 4K.

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

In episode 59 of ANOTHER TIME, MACLEOD!, Robs Daniel (Twitter: @rob_a_daniel) and Wallis (@robertmwallis) are joined by Jon Melville (@jon_melville), author of A Kind of Magic: Making the Original Highlander (@akindofmagicbook) to discuss the penultimate scene of Highlander, in which Connor MacLeod receives The Prize.

Topics include cel animation, from Sleeping Beauty to Gerald Scarfe; the various ghosts and ghouls that can be seen floating about; exploding windows(!); muscle memory vs demonic possession; Doritos ads and Raiders of the Lost Ark; and celebrating Roxanne Hart, whose love story with Christopher Lambert was a victim of the edit.

Jon's latest book, Local Hero: Making a Scottish Classic (@localherobook) is now available for purchase.

In episode 50 of ANOTHER TIME, MACLEOD!, Robs Wallis (Twitter: @robertmwallis) and Daniel (@rob_a_daniel) are joined by Scott Varnham (@Scott_V_Writer) of Highlander_Archive (@HighlanderStuff) as they plummet into the blue room for the end of Highlander's final showdown (1:46:48-1:49:36).

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?
