96. Die Hard (1988)

Yippee Ki-Yay Mr. Falcon!

On this holiday edition of Hate Watch/Great Watch, we tackle a blockbuster alt Christmas classic - Die Hard (1988)! Not exactly a deep cut, but in traditional HWGW fashion, the conversation covers a lot of ground including the flick’s lasting influence in TV shows like Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Rick and Morty, and Bob’s Burgers; and the greatness of the cast (specifically Alan Rickman and Paul Gleeson), and the role of Beethoven’s Ode to Joy. Plus - We question what exactly makes a Die Hard, Hunter invents a few Die Hards and, real talk: Al Powell definitely shot Urkel, right?
