Bruce Willis Episodes

Die Hard is the kind of “comfort violence” film that never gets old, and your recap hits basically every reason it works. A few extra bits worth calling out (because they’re the secret sauce): It’s a Christmas film for structural reasons, not vibes. Christmas isn’t just background dressing. The party only happens because it’s Christmas, the building is half-staffed because it’s Christmas, McClane is only in LA because it’s Christmas, and Hans’ whole timing depends on a holiday lull.

We have an amazing special guest this week as we’re joined by Meeg who helped kickstart Bad Dads Film review over three years ago and he picks up exactly where he left off, by not watching this weeks movie.
