A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD with Steven E. de Souza!
It’s Die Hard in Mother Russia! Well pals, it’s finally here…the final episode! We started with the original DIE HARD, we’ve covered 80 subsequent films that were influenced by it in some way, and so it only seems fitting to booked this project with the fifth and final DIE HARD film that we’ll be covering in this episode. But…we’re also going a step further than that. Because to honor the culmination of the show we have a very special guest…a multi-talented director, producer and screenwriter, whose extensive credits include such films as 48 HRS, COMMANDO, THE RUNNING MAN, RICOCHET, DIE HARD 2 and of course the original DIE HARD…Mr. Steven E De Souza!Aging New York cop John McClane travels to Russia in search of his estranged son Jack (Jai Courtenay) only to discover that Jack is entangled with a complex espionage plot, wherein corrupt politician Viktor Chagarin (Sergei Koslesnikov) plains to railroad imprisoned billionaire and whistleblower Yuri Komarov (Sebastian Koch) in a rigged trial, unless Komarov turns over a mysterious file. When Komarov refuses to give up said file, the courthouse is attacked and blown up by well-armed mercenaries. Jack escapes with Komarov in tow, only to encounter his dad – John McClane himself - during the apparent extraction attempt, which is soon revealed to be a clandestine CIA operation. With the delicate mission now in jeopardy, father and son must team up to fight the bad guys who are now after them both, working through their estrangement issues in the process. The guys talk about the original DIE HARD film, the series as a whole, and where and how it may have gone astray as a franchise. Steven provides his unique opinions about what makes a good sequel versus a bad one, and regales the boys with stories of his work on DIE HARD and DIE HARD 2. Their wide-ranging discussion encompasses all manner of topics relating to the DIE HARD films, his career as a whole, and action cinema in general. As always the show ends with the final editions of the Die Hard Oscars and the Double Jeopardy Trivia Quiz, before the boys sign off with an emotional mailbag section, where they read a variety of the best letters sent in by listeners of the show, from all around the world.TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SQ0IzY0YrYAt the time of release, A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV/iTunes, YouTube, Fandango and all the usual platforms!
