Are the team going to love this universally or is, as John expects, Craig going to chuck a spanner in the works? As ever, the episode concludes with Mikey's chart update from the time of release of this album.

A special episode of Planet Sci-Fi which we are sharing on the Planet Marzipan feed. Highlander has a lot of crossover appeal so we thought as a one off we'd showcase it here as well.
Here we are, born to be kings we're the princes of the Sci-fi Podcasts! We wish.
This week Craig is joined by Stuart Chandler, Stuart Mitchell and Grae Tennick to look at the 1986 classic action / fantasy science fiction movie Highlander. We are also joined by very special guest film journalist and author Jonathan Melville.
Jonathan, amongst writing many books and articles has written 2 books on the making of Highlander and contributed extensively to the bonus features on the 40th anniversary 4k release of the film.
We delve into the story, the making of, the franchise as a whole, the upcoming remake and the 40th anniversary 4k. This is a fun look back at the movie, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did recording it.
