Shownotes Transcript

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and guest Eric Lichtenfeld (author of Action Speaks Louder: Violence, Spectacle, and the American Action Movie) discuss Die Hard with a Vengeance. John McClane (Bruce Willis) is now divorced and washed up. He has to stop a new group of terrorists from setting off bombs in Manhattan and robbing Fort Knox.  

A good return to form until the flabby finale, Die Hard with a Vengeance makes great use of Samuel L. Jackson as a co-star. In the prior movies, John McClane was a one man killing machine. Here, saddling him with a sidekick injects a nice bit of humor into the proceedings.
