Jeremy reunites with author and scriptwriter Simon Guerrier for a New Year's Eve special examining Highlander II: The Quickening, the 1991 action fantasy sequel starring Christophe Lambert, Sean Connery, Virginia Madsen and Michael Ironside. Their conversation covers such wide-ranging topics as the implausible endurance of the franchise, the film's multiple edits and interpretations, its debt to other film sequels, chaos in Argentina, the identity of the "80s sci-fi Jonah" and the true meaning of the Quickening.
087 - JAWS: THE REVENGE
Jeremy once again enjoys the company of Chris Arnsby for A Very Cinema Limbo Christmas. Together, they explore the 1987 suspense sequel Jaws: The Revenge, directed by Joseph Sargent and starring Lorraine Gary, Lance Guest, Mario van Peebles and Michael Caine, and discover voodoo curses, amateur icthyology, Sharkula, Jeremy's favourite Bible joke and what the film would be like without a shark in it.
Featured below is the original - very minimalist - trailer, a modern fan-produced version, and the original test ending.
086 - FIGURES IN A LANDSCAPE
Jeremy is joined once again by Ed Bloomer as they investigate Joseph Losey's 1970 existential suspense drama Figures in a Landscape, starring Robert Shaw and Malcolm McDowell and based on the novel by Barry England. On the way they touch on such matters as political turbulence, nightmare landscapes, religious parallels, Harold Pinter, Alan Partridge and A View to a Kill.
Featured below is a (somewhat inaccurate) fan-produced trailer in the absence of any official one, as well as a complete copy of the film in lieu of it being unavailable in the UK.
