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!

Christmastime is here, and that means MATT STRICKLAND (Sea Urchin) is back to defend the Nakatomi Plaza of our hearts. But since we've done this dance before, the boys are changing it up this year: instead of pitches to make Die Hard more of a Christmas movie, this year we're making other Christmas movies... into Die Hards! Tune in to find out what movies we picked, what parts we change, and what exactly is the true meaning of the spirit of Die Hard.
This week on The Square, we're back with our annual tradition: unpacking two iconic films through a design lens. What do "Die Hard" and "It's a Wonderful Life" have in common? At first glance, maybe not much—one's a high-octane action flick, the other a sentimental holiday classic. But dive deeper with us, and you'll find surprising parallels in their themes, characters, and even architectural settings. Join Brandon Carmichael and James Adams as they explore how these two films reflect their eras, from the suburban dreams of Bedford Falls to the towering corporate ambitions of Nakatomi Plaza. We'll discuss how architecture plays a role in storytelling, the emotional impact of design, and the subtle messages about community, sacrifice, and redemption. Plus, we settle the ultimate debate: Is "Die Hard" really a Christmas movie? (Spoiler: Yippee-ki-yay, yes it is.) Whether you're here for the design insights, the holiday spirit, or just a little Bruce Willis and Jimmy Stewart love, this episode has it all.

Tune in to hear our passionate argument as to why "Die Hard" is the ultimate yuletide film, complete with festive music, themes of brotherhood, and a miraculous showdown. Join us on the Dumb Cool, Weird Podcast as we pay homage to John McClane's raw and relatable heroism, contrasting his human vulnerabilities with the superhuman feats of other action legends like Stallone. We promise a delightful journey through the film's humorous layers, from Alan Rickman's charming villainy to the unforgettable buddy cop dynamic with Carl Winslow.Our nostalgic trip doesn't stop there! We celebrate the film's unique mix of humor and action, examining its parody elements and appreciating Bruce Willis's standout performance. While laughing at Rickman's attempt at an American accent, we also marvel at the special effects that make "Die Hard" timeless. As we reminisce about the 1980s' cinematic charm, we wrap up with a teaser for our next classic review, potentially spotlighting "Christmas Vacation."

Pastor DJ Uithoven- In the midst of our darkness and hopelessness, God needs to enter the world He created to bring back His light, hope and rescue. He could have chosen any form, any experience in human existence. We know now that He chose to be vulnerable, to arrive as the least for very good reason. This theme, though, will not be left behind at Jesus' birth. So much Christianity will reflect strength in check just like another hero from cinema history - John McClane. How does the bloody and battered savior of Nakatomi Plaza emulate Jesus? Yippee-ki-yay and Merry Christmas!

The riddle, "Devoid of water and certainly no fun, this type of pool can't exist for one," stumped many until "carpool" was humorously revealed. Movie buffs identified the iconic Nakatomi Plaza from "Die Hard," igniting debates on whether it's a Christmas movie. The round also included the challenge of guessing which celebrity turned down the role of Danny in "Grease," with Henry Winkler being the surprising answer.

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**.

Es ist vollbracht - ein Actionfest in sieben Teilen! Wir geben nochmal Gas im letzten Segment unseres “Die Hard” Specials und verlassen das demolierte Nakatomi Plaza zusammen mit John McLean um euch auf die nächste 80er-Perle hinzuweisen, die wir für euch besprechen dürfen. “Come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs..."
Vom Drehstuhl im Nakatomi Plaza direkt aufs schwarze Sofa in die Netzestudios begibt sich Andreas Wisniewski a.k.a. “Tony” und steht uns Rede und Antwort in einem weiteren “Die Hard” Exklusivinterview. Wir reden über Andreas erste Schritte in Hollywood, zu kleine Schuhe, seine Freundschaft zu Alan Rickman und wozu ein klassischer Walkman so alles genutzt werden kann. Nur hier bei Deutschlands bestem 80er-Jahre Filmpodcast!
It's Die Hard on the USS Enterprise!This time of the show, Phil and Liam analyze STAR TREK FIRST CONTACT with the help of special guest Andy Maiorano, host of The AndyPlex podcast and an avowed Star Trek superfan! Set phasers to fun!When he is informed that a hostile race of cybernetic beings known as The Borg have launched an attack on Earth, Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) disobeys orders to directly engage with the Borg threat. However, upon arrival to the battle zone, he discovers that the planet Earth has been completely subsumed by the Borg, who have used time travel to assimilate the entire planet. 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!

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.

More recently, he played the notorious professor Severus Snape in the “Harry Potter” series. Today's dead celebrity is Alan Rickman. This episode originally published November 2, 2022.

Die Weihnachtsfeier im Nakatomi Plaza rückt immer näher, während Fakten-Frank und Kultfilm-Kev tief in den Soundtrack des Films einsteigen und erklären warum es keinen Zweifel daran gibt, dass “Die Hard” ein Weihnachtsfilm ist.
Weiter geht es im Nakatomi Plaza mit spannenden Diskussionen zur Romanvorlage des Films, den Drehbuchautoren und natürlich der unverkennbaren Handschrift von John McTiernan.
Blast from the past with a funky twist—our latest chatter is all about the golden era of '80s action movies, the time when explosions were big, and the heroes' muscles were bigger. We kick things off with a laugh, reminiscing about Arnold Schwarzenegger's infinite ammo in "Commando" and the iconic triple treat from "Total Recall." It's a riotous rewind to the days when one-liners were as essential as a good chase scene, and we can't help but smirk at the cheesy goodness that saturated the silver screen.We don't just stop at Arnold's antics, though. Our nostalgic stroll takes us through the streets of "First Blood," dives into the explosive Nakatomi Plaza of "Die Hard," and even glances at the noir shadow of "Batman" (1989). We give props to the synth beats that scored our favorite face-offs and take a moment to appreciate how Eddie Murphy went from "Beverly Hills Cop" to Family films. It's a celebration of the sights, sounds, and stunts that made '80s action flicks the unforgettable thrill rides we still can't get enough of.As we pack up our boombox, we tease the future of our Movie Monday series—your ticket to the wonderfully awful movies of yesteryear. Whether you're in Atlanta or tuning in from afar, prepare for a dose of hilarity as we promise to unearth and share every corny plot twist and every ridiculous creature feature from the 20th century's treasure trove. Stay sexy, listeners, and get ready for more laughs, memories, and all the '80s action your heart can handle. Wes and Nick have their hands full. Support the show:

Hey all! We continue our non-Christmas feeling Christmas movies with the pinnacle of the genre, Die Hard. Join Thomas and Frank and this explosive episode! "Die Hard," directed by John McTiernan and released in 1988, remains a defining movie in the action genre. The film stars Bruce Willis as John McClane, an off-duty New York City police officer who finds himself trapped in a Los Angeles skyscraper during a terrorist takeover. The terrorists, led by the sophisticated Hans Gruber (played by Alan Rickman), are unaware of McClane's presence, and he begins a one-man war against them. Story and Setting The narrative of "Die Hard" is straightforward but effective. Set almost entirely in the Nakatomi Plaza, the confined setting adds to the film's intensity. The story is a cat-and-mouse game between McClane and Gruber, with the former using his wits and police training to disrupt the terrorists' plans. The screenplay, written by Jeb Stuart and Steven E. de Souza, expertly mixes action with humor, creating a thrilling yet entertaining experience. Characterization and Performance Bruce Willis's portrayal of John McClane was a career-defining role. He brought a unique blend of everyman vulnerability and toughness to the character, making McClane relatable and likable. Alan Rickman's Hans Gruber is equally memorable, providing a sophisticated and chilling contrast to McClane's ruggedness. The supporting cast, including Bonnie Bedelia as McClane's wife and Reginald VelJohnson as a sympathetic LAPD officer, add depth to the story. Action and Cinematography "Die Hard" set new standards for action sequences in cinema. The stunts are spectacular yet believable, and the film avoids the trap of over-the-top theatrics that plague many action movies. The cinematography by Jan de Bont is dynamic, using the skyscraper's geography to create tense and visually interesting scenes. The editing is tight, keeping the pace fast but never confusing. Cultural Impact The movie's impact on popular culture cannot be overstated. It redefined the action genre and introduced a new type of action hero: a regular person in an extraordinary situation. The film's success spawned numerous sequels and influenced countless other action films. "Die Hard" is also known for its quotable lines, most famously McClane's catchphrase, "Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker." Conclusion "Die Hard" is more than just an action movie; it's a well-crafted film that balances suspense, character development, and humor. It's a testament to John McTiernan's direction and the cast's performances that the film remains thrilling and engaging decades after its release. Whether you're a fan of action movies or not, "Die Hard" is a must-watch film that has rightfully earned its status as a classic in American cinema. -------------------- *Check Out All Our Podcasts!* Geek Freaks Podcast: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaks Disney Moms Gone Wrong: https://linktr.ee/disneymomsgonewrong Challenge Accepted: https://linktr.ee/challengeacceptedgf Headlines: https://tinyurl.com/2p8bvu6d Level Up!: https://linktr.ee/PushingButtonsPodcast Who's Got Next Game: https://tr.ee/wX3t_vGxdO TrekFreaks: https://linktr.ee/TrekFreaks Geek Freaks Interviews: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaksInterviews Outlast Podcast: https://linktr.ee/OutlastPodcast Round Three: https://linktr.ee/RoundThree From The Pages: https://www.patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast -------------------- *Hang Out With Us!* Discord: https://discord.gg/6Jrvyb2 Threads: https://www.threads.net/@geekfreakspodcast Twitter: twitter.com/geekfreakspod Facebook: facebook.com/groups/227307812330853/ Instagram: instagram.com/geekfreakspodcast E-mail: thegeekfreakspodcast@gmail.com Twitch: twitch.tv/geekfreakspodcast Site: geekfreakspodcast.com --------------------- *Support Us!* Patreon: https://patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast Store: redbubble.com/people/GeekFreaks
