Yippee-ki-yay, listeners! The Shat The Movies crew is back with a vengeance—literally—as we dive into 1995's "Die Hard with a Vengeance!" In this action-packed review, Big D and Gene Lyons debate whether the third installment in the Die Hard franchise holds up or if it's a step down from its predecessors. From Samuel L. Jackson's unforgettable turn as Zeus Carver to Jeremy Irons' cunning portrayal of Simon Gruber, we break down the film's pacing, action sequences, and that controversial alternate ending. Did Die Hard 3 give us the grittiest McClane yet, or did it lose its way in a bloated second half? Find out as we rate the movie on our patented wipe scale and discuss whether it truly deserves its place among '90s action classics! Plot Synopsis: After a New York City department store bombing, NYPD officer John McClane (Bruce Willis) is forced into a deadly game of Simon Says by a mysterious terrorist named Simon Gruber (Jeremy Irons). With the help of reluctant sidekick Zeus Carver (Samuel L. Jackson), McClane races across the city to prevent further destruction while uncovering Gruber's true plan—a massive gold heist at the Federal Reserve Bank. As time runs out, McClane must outwit his most cunning adversary yet in a high-stakes battle of wits, explosions, and classic one-liners.

It's Die Hard in New York City! It's finally here! This week Phil and Liam drill down on one of the most beloved films in the storied Die Hard franchise: Die Hard With A Vengeance! To aid them in their investigation of this all-conquering box office smash, the boys have brought in special guest Chris Tilly, a writer, journalist and editor at Dexterto.com and one of the hosts of the hugely popular film podcast Clash of the Titles.While back working for the NYPD, detective John McClane (Bruce Willis) is targeted by a mysterious terrorist named Simon (Jeremy Irons), who effectively holds New York hostage and forces McClane to complete a series of deadly puzzles around the city to prevent further attacks. In the process, McClane teams up with Harlem store-owner Zeus Carver (Samuel L. Jackson), and together they uncover Simon's true agenda…and his real identity!The guys start by recalling their memories of seeing this hit film upon its release in the summer of 1995, before moving into the ‘Die Hard DNA' section where they identify who stayed and who left the series in terms of cast and crew. They talk about what makes this film so uniquely ‘New York', as well as the complex racial politics of the picture, before moving into a detailed discussion about the film's tortured production history, including an examination of the previous sequel concepts that were explored and abandoned, before Jonathan Hensleigh's spec script ‘Simon Says' ultimately became the basis for the third installment in the increasingly popular franchise.In ‘Anatomy of an Action Movie', the guys break down the film in terms of its premise, heroes, villains (‘Who's Your Favorite Terrorist?' is back!), and the action itself, along with the wisecracking East Coast humor that has become a staple of the series, this time bolstered by the addition of the effervescent Samuel L. Jackson.The guys dig underneath the Dolby Theatre to attend the ‘Die Hard Oscars' and steal away some gold statues, before events culminate with an appropriately collaborative edition of the ‘Double Jeopardy' trivia quiz!DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE trailerAt the time of release, DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE is streaming on Hulu, DirectTV, Fubo, and Starz and is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, Apple/iTunes, YouTube, Vudu, Redbox, AMC On Demand and all the usual platforms!AMERICAN ENGLISH SOCCER PODCASTEYE OF THE DUCK PODCASTCLASH OF THE TITLES PODCASTSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/die-hard-on-a-blank/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

“$60 million on quiche?!” The panel of peril complete their naked tai chi session, have a quick wash around the key areas, and watch this week's film Die Hard 2 (Renny Harlin, 1990). How can the same stuff happen to the same panel two years in a row? John McClane (Bruce Willis) just wants a quiet Christmas with his wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia), but a bunch of criminal types have other ideas. Led by Thornberg (William Atherton), a group of mercs seek to rescue General Esperanza (Franco Nero) during the course of his extradition flight, after which he is due to stand trial. Can our comfy jumper-wearing hero save the day again? Watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvHp7xJZ4_U ********PLOT SPOILER ALERT******** Little do McClane and the crew know that Esperanza also has Major Grant (John Amos) and an elite US Army squadron onside, aiding his escape. Once that first flight is grounded, they're getting on another flight – destination? Paradise, baby. Paradise. With the odds stacked against him, this is surely the end of the top gun cop. Yes siree, no more sequels for McClane, sadly ;) What the actual flip did the panel make of this one? How the actual flip can they improve upon the villain's dastardly scheme?

It's CHRISTMAS MOVIE WEEK 2023, Season's Greetings!!!  What better way to kick things off than the much-anticipated sequel to one of THE greatest Christmas movies ever....Die Hard?  This came out only two years later and needless to say, it brings back a lot of the elements from that first action classic from '88.....our hero John McClane (Bruce Willis) taking on several terrorists (lead by William Sadler) within a somewhat confined space, his wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) once again in peril, law enforcement on the ground who only make things worse, and unexpected sidekicks who help him along the way.  Only this time the action is set at a crowded airport being pummeled by snow AND it's directed by some one new....'90's action-master Renny Harlin who would go on to also direct several other notable action films throughout the '90's including Cliffhanger and The Long Kiss Goodnight, the latter of which is ALSO a memorable Christmas action movie.  So strap in, remember to have reliable shoes on, keep extra cartridges handy, be prepared to crawl through new ducts....because it's time to DIE HARDER. ;)  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/

New York cop John McClane (Bruce Willis) flies to Los Angeles to attend the swanky party of his separated wife Holly's (Bonnie Bedelia) company on an upper floor of their high-rise corporate building.  However, the company didn't intend to have party crashers, particularly gun-toting German terrorists who want to rob the big boss blind while holding the employees hostage.  The terrorists are led by international mastermind Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) who makes one major blunder in not taking into account that there would be one guest who manages to get away unseen, McClane, who does his duty as a good cop by doing everything possible to foil their plans.  Using his street smarts and physical prowess, McClane throws a monkey wrench in Gruber's works, but these terrorists are ruthless, cunning, and deadly.  Not to mention, they also have McClane's wife.

“Breaking her down mentally,” “Like Craig does with porridge” The panel of peril arrive for their annual Christmas party, meet the office coke fiend, argue with their estranged wife, and then settle in to watch the first of our Christmas films of the year: John McTiernan's 1988 classic Die Hard. John McClane (Bruce Willis) is a New York cop visiting his estranged wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) at her work's Christmas party in wacky Los Angeles. That party takes place at the beautiful Nakatomi Plaza, and it's about to have some unwanted party guests. Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) and his gang of teutonic henchmen are a big gang of party poopers with a plan that isn't as simple as it first appears. Watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaJuwKCmJbY ********PLOT SPOILER ALERT******** Initially posing as common or garden terrorists, Gruber's gang of goons are soon revealed to be nothing more than common or garden robbers. The loot they seek takes the form of untraceable bearer bonds and they are merely using the guise of terrorist as a cunning ruse. But they didn't bargain on a rough, tough New York cop crawling through air vents and what have you, picking them all off one at a time. Planning for that would be very difficult.

Der er SÅ meget information, så mange idéer, observationer, tolkninger, facts og virkelig dumme jokes, at vi har svært ved at holde skuden på ret kurs. Men såden ér det nu engang at lave en After Dark, for selvom vi har en idé om, hvor vi skal hen, så er der ingen garanti for, at vi når derhen eller ender et helt andet sted. I en After Dark-episode er du med på opdagelsesrejsen i lige så høj grad som os. Men hvad er vi så endt med?
