6-5 Patient Number 7

Mac's old friend Kyra wakes up in an asylum for the criminally insane with no memory only to discover that the Marx Brothers are trying to kill her on the orders of a genocidal taxidermist. Mac shows up eventually to feed Kyra a whole bowl of apples and make racially charged dick jokes (and literally nothing else). The Rewatchers try to figure out why Kyra was committed in the first place, discuss whether an immortal amnesia plot has legs, and get furious about the Kill Bill levels of violence a...

6-4 Diplomatic Immunity

In a weird rehash of the previous episode, Mac is friends with an immortal conman named Willie... for some reason. Willie’s wife is killed when they try to run a grift on the son of a diplomat... who is also randomly Mac’s homie. Conflict ensues. The Rewatchers discuss Mac’s decision to take up the sword to stop big Willie style, celebrate a cliffhanger ghost, and wonder if there is a moral question in here somewhere.

6-3 Sins Of The Father

A very guilty seeming immortal with amazing eyebrows named Alex RAVEN (hey! That’s a show!) is implicated in blowing up Mac’s friend/bocce parter, an... old French banker? With stolen Nazi gold? Spoiler: Turns out it was actually the banker’s dirtbag son. The Rewatchers discuss one of the clunkiest misdirects on record, learn about leveraged bonds, and discuss the first of many spinoff auditions.

Chronicle 19 - Edwin "Itsy" Atkins

The Rewatchers sit down with Edwin "Itsy" Atkins, the production manager on the original Highlander! Tune in to hear all about lighting New York City, Conner ruining airbags, and for a story that---at long last-- makes Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles relevant to this show.

6 - 2 Armageddon

Duncan seeks out a sad priest, who provides Mac with zero insights, so he can go toe-to-toe with an apocalyptic demon’s true form: the little person from Twin Peaks. The Rewatchers learn no lessons, break down this priest’s acting chops, but stay in it for the temptation of Joe.

6-1 Avatar

After killing his best friend, Mac runs away to a sweaty temple in order to get a haircut and learn no discernible lessons. Meanwhile, the ancient Zoroastrian demon he abandoned appears to have done nothing and harmed no one in his absence. Mac then returns to exploit his friendship with Joe and resume his fight with Ahriman, which now involves resurrected grad students for some reason. The Rewatchers breakdown Ahriman's pointless schemes, wonder what happened to Methos, and can't believe Joe pu...

Bonus Episode 6 - 1 Remembering Stan Kirsch

Big Finish 2-3 The Pain Eater

Anyone else have a sense of Deja Vu? Caspian used to be a hero, but killing an evil Neanderthal warlord and undergoing a botched trepanation drives him insane. When Didgeridoo gets his hands on Caspian, he cures him of his madness only to... (sigh) make him crazy again. The Rewatchers yell about this insipid revenge plan, wonder how Caspian became “Famine,” and play their new favorite game.

Big Finish 2-2 All the King's Horses

Silas awakes in a room with no memory and a box of journals describing gross experiments intended to cure him of being a dumb dumb. Naturally, Didgeridoo and his magic head drill are responsible. The Rewatchers can’t figure out who Silas is supposed to be, how a sharp chair leg acted as an impromptu head drill, or why they are suffering through another M.E.L.T minute.

Big Finish 2-1 Brothers

The Rewatchers sack 2020 like its an ancient Mesopotamian village in the confusing and intensely gross first episode of Big Finnish Audio Season 2, all about the Four Horsemen! Kronos captures a Watcher and randomly tells his own life story. Along the way, Kronos shares the (entirely too) intimate details of his first death, sets in motion an interlocking web of absurd revenge schemes, and says the word "brother" more times than the Hollywood Hulk. The Rewatchers try to untangle the Gordian knot...

Happy New Year!

Big Finish 1-4 Kurgan Rising

Christmas is coming early this year, because Season 1 of the Big Finish Audio Series is finally over! In this baffling season finale, a bizarre cult led by an evil architect recreates the plot of Ghostbusters in an effort to... (~sigh) resurrect the Kurgan by somehow forcing Duncan to fight on holy ground. The Rewatchers discuss the mechanics of blessing a torture chamber, try to figure out where immortals go when they die, and try their hardest to go out on a positive note.

Big Finish 1-3 The Secret of the Sword

Mac is called to the police station to evaluate an antique sword... that’s about all that happens in this utterly stakes-less turd. Duncan uses this opportunity to make a series of wild assumptions about Japanese detectives who may or may not exist, draw dubious legal conclusions, and reminisce about the time he was captured by a cruel samurai in Japan with a white-guy-Master-Splinter voice. The Rewatchers break down Mac’s reckless museum arson, discuss the origins of Dunky’s catchphrase, and ho...

Big Finish 1-2 Love and Hate

Ohhhhhhh boy. A mysterious immortal woman with a magical STD that causes immortals to spontaneously combust(?!?) escapes a sadistic science cult that imprisoned her. Mac heroically steps in to... condemn her to an eternity of torture and experimentation? Yup- you read that right! The Rewatchers discuss Mac’s relationship with a bizarre coroner, dish about diamonds, and decry the “Saw”-levels of torture porn that seem to permeate this audio series.

Big Finish 1-1 The Lesson

The Rewatchers kick off their coverage of the Big Finnish Highlander Audio Series, starring none other than Adrian Paul. In this befuddling tale, Pieter Gatland, visits Mac once every decade to beat the crap out of him (and maybe kiss?), but never takes his head. Also, Mac meets (and drops savage burns on) the irritatingly named "Grandfather of Swords," an immortal who first died at over 100-years old and has no apparent role in the story. Also, Mac engages in heavy petting and pillow talk with ...

Bonus Episode 5-3 Season 5 Wrap-Up

The Rewatchers bid a bittersweet farewell to Season 5 by recapping the highlights (and lowlights), busting out some stats, and drinking entirely too much questionable beer. On the topic of farewells, the Rewatchers tearfully recount some notable Richie “Rawdawg” Ryan episodes and lament what could have been.

5-18 Archangel

The world of Highlander changes forever in this bananas season finale! When an ancient Zoroastrian demon awakens after a millennium of slumber, it has nothing better to do than confuse Duncan MacLeod into screwing up his own life. In flashback, a hermit sits in a cave for 600 years so that he can have an incomprehensible 90-second chat with Mac, that ends with an improbable self-decapitation. The Rewatchers wonder why Joe and Methos are such bad friends, watch Fox News to figure out the monster’...
