Nights at the Quarancinema 5: Die Hard Tryhards (ft. Matt Greenberg)

This week, we discussed the original Die Hard (1988), a true classic of the action genre, and how it subtly handles topics such as police bureaucracy, corporate greed, and the US-Japan trade relationship. Joining us for this one is a true Die Hard expert, returning champion Matt Greenberg of the Copilots podcast (@WeAreCoPilots). We try to answer the tough questions, like “is this copaganda?” “Is John McClane a cowboy or a samurai?” “Is there a difference?” Matt also helps us understand where the franchise went after knocking it out of the park the first time around. You won’t want to miss this on - after all, nothing says “quarantine” like a film whose entire hostage-driven plot could have been avoided with a simple Zoom Christmas party.
