In this special Throwback Thursday episode, Paul and Robert are joined by the legendary Doug McCoy—host of the now-retired McCoyCast podcast network, which included shows like Never Seen It, Crazy Creepy Cool Movies, and In the Theater. Doug also wrote the eBook TV in My Time. While none of Doug’s past content is currently available online, we’re thrilled to preserve this conversation as a tribute to his fantastic contributions to the retro podcasting world.
Inspired by Doug’s podcast Never Seen It, this episode takes the same approach: at least one of the three of us had never seen Highlander until prepping for the show. We discuss first impressions, what holds up, what doesn’t, and how this cult classic became such a defining piece of ‘80s sci-fi/fantasy cinema.
Also in this episode:
🎸 Robert gives a concert report on Journey—with Asia as the opening act
🎶 A round of “Play This, Not That,” featuring Simple Minds
⚔️ And of course… swords, immortals, and Queen
There can be only one… but luckily, this podcast episode made the cut.
