Highlander (1986)

Author: FilmJunk.com March 30, 2026 Duration: 0:00
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.

There's a particular kind of conversation that happens after the lights come up in a theater, or when you're driving home from a double feature. It's that mix of genuine critique, personal anecdote, and the kind of loose, often hilarious tangents that only happen among friends who share a deep, if sometimes exasperated, love for movies. That's the feeling you get with the Film Junk Podcast. For years, the voices from FilmJunk.com have been gathering weekly to do just that: dissect the latest blockbusters and hidden gems, argue over cinematic merits and failures, and generally get lost in the weeds of film culture with a sharp comedic edge. This isn't a formal lecture or a dry recap; it's the sound of a long-running discussion you get to drop in on, where reviews are delivered with personality and the banter feels authentic. Tuning into this podcast means joining a conversation that covers everything from the week's new releases in TV and film to broader industry quirks, all filtered through a lens that's as likely to offer a thoughtful insight as it is to crack a perfectly timed joke. It’s like having a standing appointment with a group of friends who are always ready to talk about what’s on screen.
