## Resource

Punching Up-Episode 31-Highlander Here we are, born to be kings, we are princes of the podcast-verse. And to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the head lopping, Queen scored, Sean Connery featuring, 1980s cult classic that made an unlikely star of Christophe Lambert, the Punching Up crew will be putting Highlander to sword. On the chopping block this episode will be wayward Scottish accents, wayward Egyptian/Spanish accent hybrids, the weird appeal of Christophe Lambert, MTV editing, inexplicably crap swordfights and the bulletproof nature of Sean Connery’s superstardom. We also discuss whether it’s a good idea to do backflips in the middle of a dual in a dirty 1980s New York underground carpark. It’s not all negative though. Damian and Adam also take a little time to throw out some qualified love toward an Australian movie about a pig. And it’s not Babe. Because Babe doesn’t eat people. Confused. Don’t worry. It will all makes sense when you tune in. A lot more sense than the plot of Highlander.
