As we take some time off from recording due to the Memorial Day holiday and convention travel, we present another collection of unaired clips from the podcast. There's behind the scenes silliness, pre-interview chatter, discussion on the 'Highlander' movies, 'The Office' finale, and more. (1:12:38)

And I found the clip:

And if anyone who's interested in Highlander hasn't checked out the TV show, you really ought to because it fleshes out that universe in a big way that they'd never have been able to squeeze into the movies, especially as you move into the later seasons. And Adrian Paul is a better actor than Christopher Lambert (though he continues the franchise's obsession with casting French dudes as Scottish dudes).

And yeah, I tried watching it on Netflix a little while back and couldn't get into it. It definitely shows its age AND its budget, particularly in the early going. It was fun to be reminded of a joke a friend and I used to have about the show, though: "There can be only one! And Richie! And Connor! And..."
Yeah, that friend I mentioned above was fanatical in his devotion. Bought the VHS box sets, played the card game enough he got involved as a playtester with the company that put it out, bought at least one of the swords (though probably more), etc. Around the time he started wearing the long coat everywhere, we all kinda stopped hanging out with him.
First movie is still pretty decent, though. Dudes running around pre-Giuliani NYC, fighting with swords, listening to Queen... it's not art, but it's fun if I'm in the mood for it.
