About this episode

Film Junk explores the themes and impact of the iconic 80s action movie Highlander.

There can only be one, or in this case, one plus several sequels, two TV shows and an upcoming modern reboot. Highlander remains a beloved and iconic 80s action movie, and it’s about time Film Junk explored what it means to live forever. Is immortality a gift or a curse? Is The Prize a gift or a curse? What is The Quickening? Do the rules of this world make any sense? Would every movie be better with a soundtrack by Queen? Don't lose your head... Film Junk faces such savage questions with heart, faith and steel on this week's podcast.
