Podcasts about John McClane

"Yippee-ki-yay, mother**ker!" It's been 30 years since John McClane rolled out of bed (with a hangover) and straight into a city-wide terrorist scavenger hunt in 'Die Hard with a Vengeance.' In this anniversary episode, we dive headfirst into the explosive third installment, which marked John McTiernan's glorious return to the franchise, and unpack the high-octane action, the unbeatable chemistry between Bruce Willis & Samuel L. Jackson, and how it redefined the buddy-cop action formula. Complete with riddles, Germans, Samuel L. Jackson yelling, Bruce Willis shooting, bombs, blood, and explosions, we'll get to the bottom as to why this sequel still hits hard three decades later.Send us a textThank you for listening!

John McClane is Back!  After successfully defeating terrorists at Nakatomi Plaza in the first movie and Dulles Airport in the second movie, McClane (Bruce Willis) is once again working as a NYPD cop.  Hung over and once again on the outs with his wife, he has been called back into duty to track down a mysterious new threat who's not only planting explosives around the city but is specifically asking for HIM.  This threat is named Simon (Jeremy Irons) and he apparently wants to play games with McClaine while he terrorizes the public, even threatening to blow up a local school if our hero doesn't do what he wants on time.  And just as things are heating up, John gets mixed up with a local store owner named Zeus (Samuel L. Jackson) who not only saves his life but ends up being summoned to play these same games.  The two team up to save the city....but what are they saving it from exactly?  The plot just thickens from there as Die Hard director John McTiernan (The Thomas Crown Affair, The Hunt for Red October) returns to direct this well-liked and hugely popular third installment which came out thirty years ago this spring.  Yippee-Ki-Yay.....indeed! Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

The Binge Buddies continue on their journey with John McClane, this time as he faces off against Jeremy Irons. What could go wrong?

Have you ever felt like your life is a little bit or a lot out of alignment? Do you wonder when there's going to be some peace or a feeling of stability in your life? You just want things to calm down and be able to go to bed with less worry and sleep through the night? I think John McClane in the movie Die Hard summed it up quite well… Welcome to the party, Pal! These off kilter times are a party we didn't want to go to, yet we begrudgingly attend. We want to lose the invitation or say, “we have a conflict”, or “we have other plans”. No such luck... being uncomfortable and feeling like the world is plotting against is a short-term feeling for some and a long-term affliction for others. Most of us kind of settle in between these two polar extremes. When you are off axis, it is time to access the present moment. Karla and Richard share some thoughts on trusting the tilt, while managing what we can control in our lives. A special thank you to the brave souls that reach out for help. We honor you! Thank you to those that we reach out to for help. We can't do this alone.

Have you ever been to Stapleton Airport? It's okay if you haven't, it was the major Denver airport until the Illuminati decided their meeting halls weren't big enough.

[Ep 24-514] Welcome to the New Year of Old. 2025 is here, and Leftists face a new era of reality checks under Trump's second term. From navigating the collapse of pronoun policing to rediscovering patriotism, it's time to adjust. Inflation isn't imaginary, cancel culture is out, and echo chambers only deepen the misery. Heroes aren't born—they persevere, confronting challenges head-on. As crime surges in progressive cities and old policies unravel, self-reliance and humor are essential. Leftists, embrace the irony of voting for Biden and Harris—then laugh. Growth comes from letting go of illusions. Rediscover community, individuality, and resilience. Therapy is costly; these truths are free.[SEGMENT 2-1] Welcome to the New Year of Old 1   [X] SB – Nyer pleads for Hochul to resign   Swedish politician who fought for open borders was beheaded in Congo. That country just abandoned Agenda 2030 and may just survive.   For all of you people who have Apple gear, know that they were the first company to BAN conservative podcasters on their platforms. They removed Parler over J6 accusations. They literally bankrupted that company…  [SEGMENT 2-2] Welcome to the New Year of Old 2 I want us all to be happy and HEALTHY this year. I want to say a couple of things about my sponsors… Native Path: GetKrill.com/KevinJackson Native Path Live Read: 8X more potent than fish oil, and a supplement that can fix your heart, memory and joints within days…   BiOptimizers: bioptimizers.com/kjradio Promo code: KJRADIO  BiOptimizers Live Read: Almost every function your body needs involves magnesium. The RIGHT magnesium is important. And as we age, this little element becomes much more important. For sleep, stress, our immune systems, healthy heart, and much more….   Let's level-set about the new year. Nothing will change about the Left. The only thing that will happen is what we can change. How we adjust to them. For the past few decades, we've allowed them to change our environment. We have 4 years to undo their damage. We slowed it down from 2016 to 2020. But clearly we didn't stop it. They used their last 4 years of lies and deception to do more damage to America and the world than has been done in a decade. Thankfully, we never stopped. Perseverance. The secret of all triumphs. It distinguishes the strong from the weak. Perseverance makes difficulties and obstacles vanish. It can even overcome Nature. Hollywood created the fiction that people start off as heroes. Nobody starts as a hero. A hero doesn't even know he or she will ever be a hero. They simply strive for more. They ready themselves, and when the moment arrives, they act. Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other. Look at all we defeated, albeit temporary. It's a long list, and not of small things. Leftism tops the list. The idea of Leftists wanting to swap out an old, demented clown for a young black female clown. As if we wouldn't notice that is was just a clown-for-clown swap. We defeated Fauci the fraud. Fauci lost his SS security details. $15M per month was the cost to taxpayers. There were 6 US Marshalls in SUVs parked outside his home at any given time. He will now have to use some of that Pfizer money to protect himself. I suggest he do two things: wear a mask and quarantine.    [SEGMENT 2-3] Welcome to the New Year of Old 3 - Our limits to protect 13 mass shooters were on the FBI watch list. NONE of them were stopped. Here are just a few things that happened over Christmas… [X] SB – Christmas robbery attempt You can bet that Leftists will spin this as teenagers shot in Houston while shopping. The thing about a gun is you'd better be prepared to use it, because Texans trained in hand gun use know that you only pull it when you're going to use it. Three Black teen boys found this out the hard way. Consider that these 3 had the drop on a guy they planned to rob, and they all got shot. The proposed victim was either ex-police, ex-military, or Jason Bourne.   [X] SB – Shooting at the Phoenix airport The good news about this shootout is that it was family. https://dailycaller.com/2024/12/26/report-family-dispute-arizona-police-phoenix-sky-harbor-airport-stabbing-shooting/ “I believe this was a family dispute that escalated,” Reeson said, adding that the police have reason to believe that all five people involved in the violent quarrel knew each other. All four victims were hospitalized and one is in critical condition, police said. Because nothing says I love you like a stabbing or a shooting. But there was more bad news for the criminal element, as felony theft charges soared by 154% in Chicago after the departure of Soros DA Kim Fox. Threshold went from $1000 to $300. Where will criminals do their Christmas “shopping”, if they can't loot from regular stores.   What are you willing to do for your family? This story prompted me to ask this question of my audience. Because I know that the majority of people don't know their limits. This is John Eisenman. He lost his daughter to sexual trafficking. She was sold for $1,000 in Seattle Washington. He did what a father should do and researched, investigated and found out about her abduction. He RESCUED her HIMSELF. He found out the person who sold her into trafficking was her 19 year old boyfriend. He met up with him, abductd him, bludgeond and stabbed him to death in Nov, 2020. The authorities found him [dead AF boyfriend] in Oct 2021 in the trunk of the car he abandoned. John Eisenman sits in jail knowing his daughter is safe and growing up after he has already lived 60 years of his life, always Do your absolute best to make sure your children are safe. Do you think He deserves a medal I watch this show called Alone. People are literally alone in the wilderness and try to survive as long as possible to win $500K. There are no vegans on alone. There is no one not willing to kill a bear to survive. Show me a pacifist and I will show you a person who hasn't been put in a situation to kill another person. There is no such thing. There are people who act or react too slow and get killed. But put in a situation where you can kill the person who is going to kill you, I don't know anybody who won't kill the other person. Does that make us bad humans? No. It makes us humans.    [SEGMENT 2-4] Welcome to the New Year of Old 4 - Trump Second Term Survival Tips for Leftists     Leftist Life Hacks for 2025 It's 2025, and America continues to remind the world why it's still the land of the free and the home of MAGA Christmas sweaters. For Leftists, however, this year might feel like a prolonged stress test. Between clashing with reality and attempting to police everyone's pronouns, the struggle is real. So, in the spirit of goodwill, I'm offering a few “helpful” tips to help you survive the next four years of Trump's second term with your mental health sort of intact.Tip 1: Trump Won, Again. Deal With That Too. Your MAGA relatives will definitely be discussing Trump's latest massive victory—all year long. And let's face it: you deserve it. You tried calling an audible, but your quarterback fumbled the ball before halftime. Penalty. Dump the “felon” talk and stop holding out hope that maybe ONE of those charges will stick. None will, so just stop. Example: Remember when Leftist hopes were pinned on Trump's tax returns exposing a massive scandal? Yeah, that aged about as well as a glass of milk left out overnight.Tip 2: Pronoun Anxiety Is Self-Inflicted. Your pronouns are back to the gender of your birth. No more “ze,” “zir,” or whatever Scrabble hand you were playing with. Within 90 days of Trump's inauguration, you'll be the only one using your pronouns—and not even you really believe them anymore. Look at what happened to the college professor who lost his job for refusing to use neo-pronouns. Ultimately, he got his job back, and the school quietly dropped the case. That should tell you where the wind is blowing.Tip 3: Life Is Not Montessori. Here's a shocker: We don't all have to get along. In the words of John McClane from Die Hard, “Welcome to the party, pal!” Life is messy, people disagree, and sometimes the turkey is dry. Evergreen State College's attempt to create a utopia of mutual respect failed spectacularly.  The college tried mandating “safe spaces” for every opinion. Turns out, the logistics of separating people based on micro-aggressions looked like a spaghetti map. In the end, students turned on each other.   Tip 4: Inflation Is Real, and It's Your Fault. Good news! You'll rediscover capitalism this year. You'll also discover how “free” student loans weren't actually free, and why those who were to foot your bill cut the head off the snake: Joe Biden. Remember when Biden's student loan forgiveness plan got overturned? Yeah, that wasn't Monopoly money they were playing with.  Tip 5: Grow a Spine. New year, new you—right? Well, it's time to grow a spine. Your feelings aren't everyone else's problem. Nobody's coming to bubble-wrap your feelings. If someone triggers you by existing, that's a “you “problem. Think of all the companies that went broke trying to apologize for imaginary sins (cough Bud Light cough). Did it work? Nope. Did it cost billions? Oh yeah.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! Today, we're revisiting a quintessential action-packed sequel, Die Hard 2, often styled as Die Hard 2: Die Harder. Directed by Renny Harlin and released in 1990, this film takes the high-octane thrills of its predecessor and amplifies them against the backdrop of a snow-covered Washington Dulles International Airport during the Christmas holidays.Just when NYPD officer John McClane (played by Bruce Willis) thought he could enjoy a peaceful Christmas, he finds himself embroiled in another terrorist plot. This time, McClane battles a group of mercenaries who've taken control of Dulles Airport to free a captured drug lord. With his wife's plane circling overhead, low on fuel, McClane must navigate the complexities of the airport's infrastructure and outsmart the villains to save the day. As the snowstorm of the century bears down, McClane discovers a plot to rescue the deposed dictator General Ramon Esperanza. With little help from the airport police initially sceptical of his claims, McClane takes matters into his own hands. What follows is a series of explosive encounters, clever twists, and intense battles as McClane races against time to thwart the terrorists' plans and ensure a safe landing for all the planes above, including the one carrying his wife, Holly.Die Hard 2 explores themes of isolation and resourcefulness. McClane is often portrayed as a lone hero battling against not just the external threats but also bureaucratic inertia and scepticism. His ability to improvise solutions and navigate complex environments under pressure underscores a key aspect of his character—his resilience and ingenuity.Why It's a Must-Watch For fans of the action genre and the Die Hard franchise, Die Hard 2 is a must-watch. It successfully replicates the formula that made the first film a hit while introducing enough new elements to stand on its own. The film is a testament to the enduring appeal of John McClane as a relatable action hero.So, grab some popcorn and join us as we dive back into the snowy chaos of Die Hard 2. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the series or just looking for a high-stakes action film to spice up your holiday viewing, this film delivers on multiple levels.

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!

Yippee-ki-yay! Join Movie Mistrial as we dive into the explosive action classic Die Hard and settle the age-old debate: Is it a Christmas movie?Die Hard redefined the action genre with its perfect blend of high-stakes thrills, sharp humor, and Bruce Willis's iconic portrayal of John McClane. Set against the festive backdrop of a Christmas Eve hostage situation, the film offers a unique mix of holiday cheer and adrenaline-pumping action, making it a perennial favorite.While Die Hard is a masterpiece of action cinema, its classification as a “Christmas movie” remains divisive. Proponents argue that its Christmas setting, festive music, and themes of togetherness solidify its place in the holiday canon. Opponents contend that its primary focus on action and violence overshadows traditional holiday sentiments, making the Christmas elements incidental rather than central.Join us as we unpack Die Hard's legacy and tackle the debate: Holiday classic or not?

We make a case for Renny Harlin's Die Hard 2 (1990) as the platonic ideal of a blockbuster sequel - a bigger, dumber version of the original with a great supporting cast which delivers on the formula and also serves as a better “Christmas movie” than the first one to boot. We itemize our issues with McTiernan's return to the franchise with Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995), and trash the final two films in the series, Len Wiseman's Live Free or Die Hard (2007) and John Moore's rock-bottom final entry, 2013's A Good Day to Die Hard, inexplicably set in Russia.

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.

As we wrap up our "Year of Bruce" with special guest Richard Liverman, it's time to spotlight Die Hard 2, a film that often stands in the shadow of its predecessor but deserves its own moment in the Christmas-action spotlight. While the original Die Hard has cemented its place as the go-to holiday action movie, its sequel doubles down on everything that made the first one great. Set during Christmas Eve at a snow-covered airport, Die Hard 2 delivers all the festive chaos you'd expect from John McClane's unlucky streak. From nerve-wracking shootouts to epic explosions, it's an adrenaline-pumping reminder that holiday cheer sometimes comes with a lot of collateral damage.True to the promise of a bigger sequel, Die Hard 2 takes the "more is more" approach, boasting higher stakes, more deaths, and even grander explosions. It's like the original, but on steroids—a relentless ride through mayhem and holiday spirit as only Bruce Willis can deliver. Yet, it rarely gets the recognition it deserves, often dismissed as "just like the first one." But isn't that the point? It's unapologetically McClane in peak form, facing off against bad guys in an impossible situation. If the holidays are about revisiting familiar joys, Die Hard 2 should be a perennial classic for action fans. It's Bruce, it's Christmas, and it's the perfect way to close out a year celebrating one of Hollywood's most iconic stars.Stick around for a round of Movie 20 Questions!Safe travels, nomads.

"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. See you in 2025! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/a24otr/support

Celebrate the season with the second best Christmas movie, where parking tickets are a slippery slope to fighting terrorists. Die Hard 2 confirms John McClane only fights crime on holidays, and it has everything you could possibly need: A great (constantly yelling) cast, bad guys and good guys who don't want John McClane around, a brief one-on-one with someone named Telford, louder than normal gunshots, and a brand new game called Borrow, Steal, Kill. Do you want to see 47 shots of snowmobiles? We have great news for you. Were you hoping for some kind of grunt/whimper acting? You're in luck. Do you miss movies edited for TBS? We've got you.So grab elderly woman's taser, head over to the skywalk annex, and get ready to party with Mister Falcon in an adventure that will blow you sky high. Greg and Joe remember how Bruce Willis could do no wrong in their eyes back in the day, answer important questions, create new drinking games, and somehow find a weird excuse to add another Limp Bizkit song to our playlist. We don't feel great about it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Simmons!After an FBI raid results in the death of a vicious Russian gangster, the mobster's aggrievedbrother hires an elusive international assassin known as ‘the Jackal' (Bruce Willis) for aretaliatory killing against a high-profile American target. But because so few people have everseen this wily hitman in the flesh, FBI Deputy Director Carter Preston (Sidney Poitier) decides tobring one of the Jackal's former cohorts - imprisoned IRA sniper Declan Mulqueen (RichardGere) - onto the task force assigned to stop him. Can Carter, Declan and the team track downand take out the Jackal before he completes his deadly mission?With its high-stakes terrorism plot and escalating action, THE JACKAL shares strong DNA withthe DIE HARD series, providing ample material for comparison. Phil also uncovers somefascinating information about alternative casting choices for both films, that spark somecaptivating thought experiments. Did you know that Richard Gere was formally offered the roleof John McClane, and that producer Joel Silver aggressively pursued him for the part?Phil loves this film, whereas Liam is not so hot on it, so they each present the case for thedefense and the prosecution. They discuss the performances of the lead actors, particularlyBruce Willis' portrayal of the cold-blooded assassin, and Richard Gere's complex, reluctanthero, as well as the excellent supporting turns from Sidney Poitier and Diane Venora (Venora-Cast anyone???). The episode also explores the film's reception, examining its critical reviewsand box office performance, (and controversies), and the guys discuss how it fits within thebroader action-thriller genre of the late 1990s.

In this episode of The Rewatch Party, Nick, Anthony, Elise, Dan, and Manny tackle the high-octane thrills of Live Free or Die Hard, the fourth installment in the iconic action franchise starring Bruce Willis as the indomitable John McClane. The group dives headfirst into the film's ambitious attempt to modernize the series, as McClane takes on cyber-terrorists in a plot that blends traditional action with tech-savvy chaos. While opinions differ on whether this sequel captures the essence of the original films, the hosts agree that Willis's performance as McClane remains as entertaining and sharp as ever. Nick leads the discussion with a nostalgic look at how Live Free or Die Hard pays homage to McClane's classic grit while also taking big swings with more elaborate action sequences. Anthony is quick to highlight the sheer scale of the movie's set pieces, from an explosive car chase to the now-infamous fighter jet showdown. Elise shares her thoughts on how McClane's dynamic with Justin Long's hacker character adds a fresh layer of humor and heart to the film, though she admits that the shift toward a more tech-focused plot slightly detracts from the grounded feel of earlier entries. Dan and Manny chime in with their takes on the villains, led by Timothy Olyphant as the cold and calculated cyber-criminal Thomas Gabriel. Dan argues that while Olyphant delivers a solid performance, Gabriel lacks the charisma and memorable flair of past Die Hard antagonists. Manny, on the other hand, defends the film's attempt to modernize the franchise by pitting McClane against a new kind of threat, praising the way it tests McClane's old-school methods in a rapidly evolving world. The hosts also delve into the film's visual effects and the balance between practical stunts and CGI, debating whether it enhances or detracts from the movie's action-packed charm. In the end, the group weighs the film's rewatchability, with split opinions on how well Live Free or Die Hard holds up compared to its predecessors. While Nick and Anthony praise its high-energy pacing and Willis's enduring appeal, Elise and Dan express some reservations about the film's over-the-top moments and tonal shifts. Manny ultimately suggests that, while it's not a perfect sequel, it's still a fun ride for fans of the franchise and action enthusiasts alike. Together, the hosts agree that Live Free or Die Hard may not be the definitive Die Hard experience, but it still delivers enough thrills to make it a worthwhile rewatch.   https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0337978/  

"Die Hard"-Abklatsche gibt es in jeder Budgetklasse und in jedem denkbaren Szenario: Nach "Stirb Langsam"-Variationen in einem Kriegsschiff, einem Passagierflugzeug, Eishockeystadion, Chemiefabrik, Nuklearwaffenbunker und vielen anderen Schauplätzen mehr war es nur eine Frage der Zeit für einen "Stirb Langsam"-Verschnitt in einer Schule. "Boy Soldiers" spann diese Idee zu Beginn der 90er weiter, doch erst B-Movie-Veteran Jim Wynorski setzte das Konzept 1996 mit "Demolition High" konsequent um, mit dem ehemaligen Teenie-Star Corey Haim in der Hauptrolle. Dankenswerterweise wurde uns ein Jahr später auch noch eine Fortsetzung im akademischen Umfeld beschert, so dass wir die Vorlage für das klassische Nachtprogramm-Double Feature geradezu auf dem Tablett serviert bekamen.

Send us a textYippee-Ki-Yay, Gym-Goers! Trent's Laying Down the Law—Die Hard StylePicture this: Trent McClane, rogue Air Force operator, bursts into the gym like he's storming Nakatomi Plaza. But this time, the enemy isn't terrorists—it's bad gym etiquette! He's on a mission, and the stakes are high. Armed with a towel in one hand and a cleaning spray in the other, Trent lays down the rules like it's life or death. Rule number one? Cleanliness is next to godliness—you gotta wipe down that equipment after your workout, or you're going down. Rule two? Put your gear away, people. You wouldn't leave explosives lying around, would you? Same goes for dumbbells. Respect personal space—no unsolicited advice or invading someone's zone. And if someone's setting up their camera for that perfect PR shot, don't go Bruce Willis and photobomb it!But here's the twist—this isn't just about surviving the gym. Trent reminds us these rules are just as crucial in the pipeline, where teamwork and respect make or break the mission. In the end, it's not just about lifting weights, it's about lifting each other up. And if you follow these simple guidelines, you'll come out on top—just like our hero, Trent McClane.So, the next time you hit the gym or step into the pipeline, ask yourself: **What would John McClane do?** Stay clean, stay cool, and don't forget to **respect the mission**. Yippee-ki-yay, gym rats!Chapters00:00 Gym and Cone Etiquette02:55 Putting Equipment Away05:21 Respecting Personal Space07:14 Wiping Down Gym Equipment16:48 Sharing Equipment18:37 Being Mindful of Filming Setups23:29 Respecting People's TimeSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9aFBBZoBcQk8UUN_pO7nDA/joinBuzzsprout Subscription page: https://www.buzzsprout.com/680894/subscribeCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: 1ReadyATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteCardoMax - Promo Code: ONESREADYHoist - Promo Code: ONESREADYThe content provided is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.

Picard follows a Borg craft through a temporal vortex and ends up in the past, sending his trusted first officer Commander William Riker (Jonathan Frakes) down to Earth to make sure that history is not changed. However, in the chaos, the Borg board the Enterprise and begin rapidly assimilating the crew, placing the ship, the planet Earth, and the entire course of history, in grave jeopardy!First off, the guys start by discussing their respective relationships with this movie and the Star Trek franchise in general, with each of them landing on very different places on the Trekkie spectrum (or Trek-trum?!). The boys analyze this curious specimen in the ‘Die Hard DNA' section, where they clarify the number of surprising connections between this futuristic siege movie and John McClane's exploits at Nakatomi Plaza. As they break down this Paramount picture yet further in the ‘Anatomy of an Action Movie', the conversation expands into a deeper discussion of Star Trek's utopian philosophies, and this movie's unusually thoughtful exploration of the idea of revenge - which makes it something of an outlier in the traditionally bloodthirsty action movie genre.The boys beam in to the ‘Die Hard Oscars' to hand out some action movie awards (where the Borg Queen commands considerable attention!) before this particular trek is wrapped up with the Double Jeopardy trivia quiz! STAR TREK FIRST CONTACT trailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3NJ49VyjDsAt the time of release, STAR TREK FIRST CONTACT is streaming on Paramount +, Prime Video, Max, Fubo and MGM+ in the US and is available to rent or buy on YouTube, Apple/iTunes, Fandango, Spectrum, AMC On Demand and all the usual platforms! Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/die-hard-on-a-blank/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
