What was initially a novel concept for a schlocky, mid-80s action film was eventually expanded into a full-on franchise, with multiple sequels and even a six-season TV series. Today, we're not worrying about all that. We delved into the original film, examining its blemishes, continuity errors, and delightful charm. 

Just as we get the news of Henry Cavill being injured during the production of Chad Stahelski's Highlander reboot, the Cinema Roast Bunch takes on their biggest challenge yet: fraught with similar (but less severe) difficulties, this episode marks our first recording loss, forcing us to pick up where we left off and finish the episode a bit less fresh. Please excuse the certainly jarring cut in the middle, but enjoy our dive into the world of immortals.

Despite the usually sharp pen of writer/director Shane Black, who famously starred in the original Predator film, the 2018 return of the space-faring Yautja was a bleak one.

The crew certainly dissects its message and portrayal of religion and those who practice it, but more importantly, how they feel about the whole thing to begin with?
