The Tree of Geek
Season 03: Episode 05 - There Can Be Only One
Grab your swords and prepare for immortality! In this episode of The Tree of Geek, we look at the cult classic, Highlander (1986). From its amazing Queen soundtrack to the epic battles of Connor MacLeod, we explore what makes this film a timeless (and sometimes delightfully over-the-top) gem in geek culture.
Join us as we break down the film’s unique mix of fantasy, historical drama, and ‘80s action, discuss the performances of Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery, and Clancy Brown, and, of course, debate the film’s most legendary moments. Plus, we tackle the burning questions: Why did Highlander become such a beloved franchise? Does the movie still hold up today? And what’s the deal with that French-accented Scottish warrior?
Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer to the saga of the Immortals, this episode is for you. So grab a drink and join us because, in the end, there can be only one!
