We’re back with John McClane… and this time, it’s snowing. In Episode 8, the Franchise Forum crew heads to Dulles Airport to break down Die Hard 2 (1990), the sequel that tries to go bigger, louder, and somehow colder. Spoiler alert: none of us were exactly thrilled with the layover.

We dive into what doesn’t work, what almost works, and whether repeating the formula makes for comfort food or creative crash-and-burn. Plus, we play a round of Six Degrees of Separation, throw down some trivia, and debate whether this is just Die Hard on a runway… or the moment the franchise started losing altitude.

Buckle up... turbulence ahead.
