Time travel with us back to the 16th century as we peel back the layers of the 1986 cult classic, Highlander. This episode is a cinematic feast, filled with age-old rivalries, immortal warriors, and the mysterious 'quickening.' We dissect each scene, unveiling the nuanced performance of Christopher Lambert as Connor McLeod and Clancy Brown's chilling portrayal of the Kurgan. And of course, we'll bask in the power chords of the legendary rock band, Queen, who so fittingly scored this epic saga.
But it doesn't end there. We also dive into the enduring impact and legacy of Highlander, from its immortal tagline 'There can only be one' to its cult status in the realm of sci-fi. Join me as I traverse the rugged Scottish Highlands and the neon-lit streets of 1980s New York. Grab a bucket of popcorn, sit back, and let me whisk you away to a world where immortality is a curse, a gift, and a game all at once. Also, remember there can only be one.
It won’t be long until your beard thanks you for buying Copper Johns

From SoCal Wrestling to Retro Rental Reviews: A Journey with Matt Thrash
Wrestling fanatics, get ready to hot tag into a deep-dive conversation with the charismatic Matt Thrash. If you've ever wondered how the SoCal Wrestling League sprang from a band of disgruntled wrestlers, Matt's got the insider scoop. Not only that, he's opening up about his own initiation into the wrestling world and the inception of his brainchild, Retro Rental Reviews, which emerged from a shared love for movies and games between him and Mark.
Podcasting can be a rollercoaster ride, but it's one that we, The Poor Boys, have gallantly embraced. Through the highs and lows, we've discovered the importance of authenticity, navigated the challenges of reaching our independent audience, and learned how to leverage podcast collaborations for mutual growth. But the real triumph? Crafting a special community for our podcast listeners, where they can share their unique stories and feel connected to something bigger.
Our shared love for wrestling takes us into the lives of wrestling veterans like Ric Flair and the Rock and Roll Express, shedding light on their post-career struggles. From the difficulty of separating one's wrestling persona from real life to the rampant use of drugs in the industry, it's a sobering revelation. But we're not all about the grind. Expect a healthy dose of nostalgia as we revisit the golden era of wrestling in the 90s, pay homage to popular factions like the New World Order, and even engage in lively discussions about 80s cult classic films and upcoming video games. So, lace up your boots and step into the ring with us for an episode filled with wrestling, movies, games, and much more!
