DIE HARD
from Aya Vs. The Big Boys Hosted by Aya Lehman, Kevin Cookman
This week on the pod, Aya and Kevin dodge explosions to give you their take on the Santa Claus of Big Boys, an 80s classic, and one of the crown jewels of the John McTiernan canon, DIE HARD (1988). Considered one of the greatest action movies of all time, DIE HARD is probably best known for coming out during the period of Bruce Willis' career when he was actually trying and...for being a Christmas movie. Your brave hosts plumb the film's odd production schedule, the visceral sensory details, and its ability to birth an entire subgenre of action movies. Kevin valiantly tries to explain this movie while navigating feet, gunplay, and Aya's broad disapproval. The kind of stuff Aya Vs. The Big Boys was made for. It's DIE HARD, it's that movie! The one you probably know about even if you've never seen it! The kind of movie that spawns discourse years later for really no reasons at all. Also, Alan Rickman's there. How could you go wrong?
