The time of the Quickening is upon us! We've slain all other podcasting combatants and all that's left to do is accept the demonic spirits of our fallen foes into our bodies via lightning bolts and old school 80s animations! While we wait for all that we sit down with our favorite boys Wes and Kelly to talk the Highlanders 1 through 3 in celebration of the big one-five-OH! So join us as we discuss The Kurgan, dubious accents and why Kelly shouldn't scratch his bare bumhole with his fingernail.
