Highlander (1986) with Philip Gawthorne (Die Hard on a Blank)
There can only be one. And he's with us this week for HIGHLANDER! It's screenwriter, playwright, and co-host of the very good Die Hard on a Blank podcast, Philip Gawthorne. From bonkers accents, to decapitations, to the exact number of smashed planes of glass, we go long on what may very well be the most insane movie of the 1980s. The quickening is upon us.
