It's part two of our Christmas chronicles and we saved the best for last: DIE HARD! The 1988 blockbuster put Bruce Willis on the map, was Alan Rickman's first movie ever, and, after nearly ten years of muscled-up bloody madness, redefined what action movies can be. We dive into all of that, plus key scenes featuring classic 1980s Guys like William Atherton and Paul Gleason, Jan de Bont's cinematography, and the genesis (or at least modern popularization) of the everyman action hero. And yes, James has a convincing argument for why this is a Christmas movie too. We also discuss the trailer for Wild Mountain Thyme and the idea of Christopher Walken doing an Irish accent, which leads into a discussion on English actors doing American accents for movies and how long it took for Bryne to realize that Christian Bale wasn't American. Plus, we *finally* officially rule on spoilers and how long people have until a spoiler is no longer a spoiler. Spoiler alert: it's probably shorter than you think. We also talk about Hallmark original movies and who we'd play in them, and why parents should give their children reasons when they say "no" to stuff.
