It’s the movie that changed action films forever. Die Hard defined the hot-mess action hero and showed everybody the dangers of unfinished office buildings. And this was the first time Alex saw it.
Die Hard is the not-really-guilty pleasure of first-time guest Luke Burbank (Too Beautiful To Live, Live Wire! Radio, Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me) who saw it as a kid and loved it ever since. He explains why he loved it so much, how it affected his view of Christmas parties and marriage, and what it taught him about being a tower-vigilante.
Look, I know you already love Die Hard. I don’t have to sell you on it. So jump in and start listening, this was a super fun episode.
Great episode. But now your podcast is gonna need a paint job and a shitload of screen doors.
