Johnny is forced back into the fantasy lore of Russian trilogy-turned-two-film-franchise Nochnoy Dozor, and he’s being at his best behaviour, but will he last the 2 hour follow-up? Andrew discusses the death of cinema, at least as he waves goodbye to a Cineworld Unlimited card, and the Comic Con hunt for a DVD of Day Watch in 2006.
251 - NIGHT WATCH
Andrew takes the reigns of the nostalgia-buster-fantasy-action programming this week, with Timur Bekmambetov’s weird Russian piece of cinema. Will it hold up? Probably not. Will Disney+ offer kinetic subtitles? Of course not. What will be left of hope when the film comes to an unthrilling climax?
250 - HIGHLANDER II: THE QUICKENING - RENEGADE CUT
It’s EPISODE 250 and Johnny’s dream from 150 episodes ago is finally coming true. Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod is on the podcast as we watch the extended, and only-available, cut of Highlander’s infamous sequel. Will Andrew take to a second film to a franchise he doesn’t care for? Will Johnny’s nostalgia be busted by a new look and a different edit? Will Queen create a whole new soundtrack using Christopher Lambert’s chuckle? What kind of party would it be without Michael Ironside anyway? Come for the sword fighting, stay forever because you’re an immortal human or alien or something.
