Re-Enjoy this episode from January:In this episode of The Austin Young Show, I sit down with the Austin-based ska powerhouse Hans Gruber and the Die Hards. Recorded on the back patio of Three Links during the final stop of their tour, this conversation dives into the band's unconventional approach to music, wild tour stories, and what it takes to keep the ska and punk scene alive. We also chat about supporting local music, the current state of the Austin music scene, and their new split EP launch.

Who makes the best villain—Darth Vader, Hans Gruber, or…a high school track star with a baton? In this episode of What the Frock?, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod break down what truly makes a great villain, from classic films to real-life politics. Are the best villains just misunderstood heroes, or do they embrace their evil? Plus, they tackle Chuck Schumer's latest flip-flop, an airline seat showdown, and the shocking truth about St. Patrick's Day corned beef. Tune in for laughs, deep thoughts, and plenty of What the Frock? moments. Listen now and decide: Who's the real villain?

And Alexander wept, seeing as he had no more worlds to conquer. That’s a quote from Hans Gruber in Die Hard, which is a very convoluted paraphrase from Plutarch’s essay collection Moralia. There’s plenty of truth in that unattributed quote from Mr. Gruber. Alexander the Great’s death at 323 BC in Babylon marked the end of the most consequential military campaign in antiquity. He left behind an empire that stretched from Greece to India, planted the seeds of the Silk Road, and made Greek an international language across Eurasia, all in 13 short years. He became and remained the biggest celebrity in the ancient world, probably only replaced by Jesus a few centuries into the Christian era. But what if he had not died as a young man? What if he had lived years or decades more? How much more influence could he have had? We have clues about Alexander’s plans for the future – and they come from Greek chroniclers Diodorus and Arrian, writing centuries after his death. They include conquering the Mediterranean coast all the way to the Pillars of Hercules (Rock of Gibraltar), building a tomb for his father Philp that would be as large as the Great Pyramid of Giza, and transplanting populations from Greece to Persia and vice versa to unite his domains through intermarriage.To explore this hypothetical scenario is Anthony Everitt, author of “Alexander the Great: His Life and Mysterious Death.” We look at the life of the most influential person in the ancient world, and explore the ramifications of his life having even more influence.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We have a tradition around here of spending our holiday break covering films other than Christmas films. So what better way to celebrate July at Christmas than with the best action movie of 1995? That's right, tonight we're discussing Die Hard with a Vengeance! You know the drill: In the next few hours, Simon is going to tell Lt. John McClane what to do. And Lt. McClane is going to do it. That's what the trailers say, at least. In truth, Hans Gruber's little brother is out for revenge against our old buddy John, who's just trying to kick a nasty hangover in the Big Apple. Along the way he teams up with Samuel L. Jackson, who wants absolutely nothing to do with him. It's great. So crack open a cold one, pull up a chair and join your holiday broskis as we chat about Die Hard, pinball machines, New York landmarks, and all the other random crap this podcast is known for!

And now, the conclusion of our Summer Movie Marathon for the Holidays: Featuring Die Hard! John McClane comes face to face with Hans Gruber and outwits him at every turn. Was all his destruction actually helpful? Unclear.

The writer Brian Abrams returns to the show from Brooklyn for the first of two episodes on the Die Hard series. In part one, Brian, the author of Die Hard: An Oral History, gives us the details on the genesis of the franchise, which perfected a formula for action comedy films that producers Joel Silver and Lawrence Gordon had been developing through the eighties with 48 Hrs, Commando and Predator and instantly converted Moonlighting's Bruce Willis into a legit movie star. Brian spoke to dozens of members of the Die Hard creative team for his oral history and we discuss the film's major players, the genre innovations, its politics, and the recipe for what makes a good Die Hard movie. And I force Brian to explain the Bill Clay scene; what tipped John McClane off that Clay was Hans Gruber? Part two of our discussion, on the other four films in the Die Hard series, is available on the Patreon feed. Over 30% of all Junk Filter episodes are only available to patrons of the podcast.

"Now I have a machine gun. Ho ho ho."Yippee-ki-yay, motherf-ers, welcome to the party pals and Merry Christmas to one and all! The Holmes Movies Podcast crew are here with another Trilogies episode. A Yuletide themed episode just in time for the holidays. On this episode, Anders & Adam Holmes discuss the first three original films in the Die Hard franchise. The film that started it all Die Hard, then its 1990 sequel Die Hard 2: Die Harder and finally the 1995 threequel starring Samuel L. Jackson Die Hard: With A Vengeance. The first Die Hard is one of the best action films of all time that helped define the action genre of the 1980s. An influential and well crafted film from director John McTiernan, it not only was a huge box office success but it propelled Bruce Willis from TV actor to movie star. And it also introduced the world to Alan Rickman who got his big break playing the brilliant villain Hans Gruber. Bruce Willis played John McClane, a wise cracking New York police officer who is the textbook definition of the wrong guy, in the wrong place at the wrong time and who is caught in a real towering inferno of explosions, gunfights and surviving death defying stunts. From sunny California, to snowy windy Washington DC and to the hustle and bustle of New York City, there is nothing he can't handle.Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it. Be safe out there.Anders's screenwriter work can also be seen in the western The Outlaws which is a available to watch in the US, Finland & the UK on Amazon and Apple TV for example.

Christmas is next week, so the A24 Rocks crew decided to put aside the dark horrors about generational trauma, or the Thai prison dramas, or coming-of-age tales about anxious/depressed eighth grader's, or the thrillers about alcoholic pastors on a path of righteousness. Just to put you in that Christmas mood: they decided to discuss the most beloved (but maybe debated) Christmas action film of all time in Die Hard. John McClane vs Hans Gruber, Bruce Willis starring alongside Alan Rickman, is this the best action film of all time? Caution: movie spoilers.  Programming note: we will be taking a break for Christmas next week, and will be back on New Year's Day with the 2018 A24 Oscars.

Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995) is the third installment in the Die Hard series, directed by John McTiernan. Bruce Willis returns as NYPD Detective John McClane, this time paired with Samuel L. Jackson, who plays Zeus Carver, a Harlem shopkeeper. The story begins with a bomb exploding in New York City, prompting a mysterious terrorist named Simon Gruber (Jeremy Irons) to demand McClane's involvement in a series of dangerous tasks around the city. As the plot unfolds, it's revealed that Simon is seeking revenge for the death of his brother Hans Gruber, the antagonist in the first Die Hard film.The film is known for its intense action sequences, including car chases, bomb defusals, and shootouts, all set against the backdrop of New York City. A significant aspect of the movie is the dynamic between McClane and Zeus, who start as reluctant allies but gradually develop a strong partnership as they work together to outsmart Simon. The movie adds a layer of complexity with Simon's psychological games and riddles, which keep both the characters and the audience on edge.Die Hard with a Vengeance was a commercial hit, grossing over $366 million worldwide, and received generally positive reviews for its fast pace and the chemistry between Willis and Jackson. While some critics noted it didn't quite match the original Die Hard in terms of suspense, it remains one of the more well-regarded sequels in the franchise. The film's portrayal of a city under siege and its mix of action and clever plot twists have helped it maintain a lasting impact in the action genre.

Kevin Costner stars as a Robin Hood with the winning smile and bow skills to make maidens quiver. Yet it's Alan Rickman who steals the show portraying a villain dark as Snape and as cold as Hans Gruber. Is robbing the rich to help the poor even relevant today? Clamber up a tree and join the Brains in the 'Ewok Village' of Sherwood Forest!

Yippee-Ki-Yay, M*#^%$F@!^!#: John McTiernan's Die Hard  This week a 1980s Action Classic . . . John McTiernan's Die Hard (1988). A huge gamble for 20th Century Fox in the late 1980s, Die Hard remains the standard for "everyman" action films. Before the character would become a superhero, impervious to any and all pain, John McClane was a New York cop, visiting Los Angeles, and struggling to keep his ego, anger, and jealousy in check in a Christmas Eve attempt to win back his estranged wife. We all know the story . . . Terrorists (?) take over Nakatomi Plaza and all that stands between their nefarious plans, freedom and (spoiler alert) $650 million is John McClane. What could have been an obvious and forgettable action film chooses to go against the grain and - thus - creates the archetype for the "everyman" hero. There are moments throughout McTiernan's film that would set the template and move away from the indestructible and introduce a relatable and vulnerable hero.  With a great supporting cast including: Bonnie Bedelia (Holly Gennaro McClane), Reginald VelJohnson (Sgt. Al Powell), Alexander Godunov (Karl), William Atherton (Thornburg), and in a star-making turn, Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber. This is a great action relic and one that we were thrilled to re-visit. Take a listen and remember a great time. Thanks for the continued love and support.

Verifier Andy, Master Illuminator, presents a Profile in Cinemania on one of the most publicly-respected and well spoken-of sources of CINEMANIA, Alan Rickman. Millennials and GenZ knew Rickman best for his role as Severus Snape in the Harry Potter movies; whereas GenX knew him best for his role as Hans Gruber in 1988's "Die Hard" (and to a somewhat lesser extent, his role as Alexander Dane / Dr. Lazarus in "Galaxy Quest). Rickman was a consummate practitioner of his craft and as word would have it, an all-around decent chap.   Written and performed by Andy Slack Music by Karl Casey at White Bat Audio (Tracks used: "Diamond Eyes" and "Waiting for Sunset") Caricature art by Andy Slack Comics

In this episode of the show we are joined by the great Kevin and Erin from The Podcast That Wouldn't Die to talk about JCVD's second collaboration with Peter Hyams - Sudden Death. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how this movie fits into the legacy of Die Hard, how JCVD wants to abandon his martial artist garb in favour of an everyman outfit and how Powers Boothe functions as a Hans Gruber facsimile. We also talk about the ridiculousness of the film's central conceit, JCVD's ninja firefighter skills, the dangers of leaving a professional kitchen without powering down the equipment and much more!

The original Die Hard released in 1988 remains one of THE most influential movies of all time as it pretty much set the template for dozens and dozens of action films to follow....just over eight years after it was first released, this was the first one to transport that core story to an ice hockey arena. :)In the lead role of a John McClane-like hero, it starred the "Muscles from Brussels" at the peak of his popularity, Jean Claude Van Damme.  And in the critical role of a commanding Hans Gruber-like villain, it starred the reliably charismatic Powers Boothe.  One of them holds the lives of more than 17,000 Pittsburgh hockey fans in his hands....and ONE of them stands in his way, WHO will be victorious when the final horn goes off?  In the sure hands of journeyman genre director Peter Hyams (Running Scared, Outland), there's only one way to find out! Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon https://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

On January 14, 2016, Alan Rickman -- died after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. Despite a well-deserved reputation as one of the kindest men in Hollywood, Rickman created a new archetype of movie villain that was sly, cultured, and intellectual - from Hans Gruber, to the Sheriff of Nottingham, to Severus Snape - and in the process left an indelible mark on show business.

Are you a fan of Christmas movies? When we are younger we subconsciously take in some of the lessons intended in the writing, but what about as adults? Have you heard the various tales so many times that you have become numb to the lessons they bring? Join us in this festive episode as we take Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol for a spin and look at the value, we can derive from it today in our lives. Don't get me wrong, like anyone who grew up having to read Dickens extensive works in school, I have no great love for trudging through some of his work. I do promise if you watch the Muppet version it is a lot more entertaining. Come visit this classic tale as we apply it to our lives today
