Episode 0003, Part 3: Highlander 2 Lame!

The Basement

We wrap up Chapter 3 in this episode and use Highlander 2 as a lameness measuring stick. Join us as we jump into the worlds of Krull, Highlander 2, and Legend and stop to talk about music contributions of The Alan Parsons Project and Tangerine Dream. We get into the nuts and bolts of the Swordquest contest and the public shaming I-r0k receives as well as questioning why Spaced!was ever mentioned in this chapter to begin with…enjoy!
