Around here at this point, after 00:02:43.419 --> 00:02:46.840 17 years, yeah, pretty much. Or as Primal would 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:51.060 say, sometimes crazy works. I don't know how 00:02:51.060 --> 00:02:55.020 I'm going to make that work, but we'll try. Oh, 00:02:55.020 --> 00:02:59.159 God, it didn't even change. Jesus, Mike. It's 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:00.900 a good thing you don't see the scripts I use. 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:06.560 Oh, boy. Anyway, today in episode 143 of the 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:10.159 podcast, we continue on in the Christmas in July. 00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:14.900 In July, vengeance grows there, because it is 00:03:14.900 --> 00:03:19.939 Die Hard with a Vengeance, 1995, May 19th, 1995, 00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:24.919 if I'm not mistaken. Hopefully I have that correct, 00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:27.240 because heaven forbid I have to correct myself 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:32.159 again. Yes, May 19th, 1995, in theaters, 30 years 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:37.500 ago this year, Die Hard with a Vengeance. We 00:03:37.500 --> 00:03:41.139 are covering all five Die Hard films here in 00:03:41.139 --> 00:03:44.620 Christmas in July. I'm just going to say it hands 00:03:44.620 --> 00:03:46.840 down, this is my favorite of the five films. 00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:53.020 If I had to watch Die Hard on repeat, this would 00:03:53.020 --> 00:04:01.039 be the one I could watch on repeat. Nothing? 00:04:02.340 --> 00:04:04.939 I was going to say, you don't want to watch Die 00:04:04.939 --> 00:04:08.449 Hard 5 as your favorite? I've never seen it so 00:04:08.449 --> 00:04:14.629 far until we get to it, and yeah, nope. I don't 00:04:14.629 --> 00:04:17.790 know. Maybe we'll, maybe that'll, I don't know, 00:04:17.810 --> 00:04:21.670 but Yippee -ki -yay, Mother Russia isn't exactly 00:04:21.670 --> 00:04:30.189 inspiring, but no, with a vengeance, I don't 00:04:30.189 --> 00:04:35.569 know if... I saw this in theaters or not. I know 00:04:35.569 --> 00:04:39.410 I was 15 at the time when it came out. I know 00:04:39.410 --> 00:04:42.350 I saw a lot of movies in theaters in 95, but 00:04:42.350 --> 00:04:46.050 I don't remember if I saw this in theaters or 00:04:46.050 --> 00:04:49.980 not. And again, as we've done in the others, 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:53.100 we are going to die, die, die hard as we can. 00:04:53.180 --> 00:04:56.759 Yippee -ki -yay, motherfucker. No one dies harder 00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.839 than John McClane saving all the passengers on 00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:03.379 the train, but Simon wasn't clear with his intentions. 00:05:03.459 --> 00:05:06.980 It was just a distraction. And there was no way 00:05:06.980 --> 00:05:10.180 McClane could know that Hans Gruber was Simon's 00:05:10.180 --> 00:05:12.800 bro, and that's what made it Die Hard with a 00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:17.040 Vengeance with Samuel L. Jackson. Uh, the good 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.779 cop wouldn't miss this, even though it wasn't 00:05:19.779 --> 00:05:23.600 Christmas. Ha ha. Not Christmas. Uh, didn't get 00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:26.980 any help from Al, but only in part three. And 00:05:26.980 --> 00:05:29.860 we're going to die, die, die, die hard, die as 00:05:29.860 --> 00:05:32.860 hard as we can. So that's pretty much what this 00:05:32.860 --> 00:05:37.480 one is. And yeah, no, I, I don't know what it 00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:40.860 is about this one. I really like this one a lot. 00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:46.449 I like the addition of Zeus. you know, Samuel 00:05:46.449 --> 00:05:54.029 L. Jackson's character. It's just like, and again, 00:05:54.170 --> 00:06:08.860 so the first three films. This is essentially 00:06:08.860 --> 00:06:12.980 John Wick before John Wick was John Wick. Because 00:06:12.980 --> 00:06:16.220 even though the John Wick movies take place like 00:06:16.220 --> 00:06:19.779 a day or so apart from each other or whatever 00:06:19.779 --> 00:06:22.579 it is. I remember that off the top of my head. 00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:28.660 These movies, Die Hard, Die Harder, and With 00:06:28.660 --> 00:06:31.839 a Vengeance all take place a year apart from 00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:35.329 each other. Because they specifically say in 00:06:35.329 --> 00:06:38.769 this, it's been a year since John and Holly had 00:06:38.769 --> 00:06:42.649 their fight on the phone. He says that in this 00:06:42.649 --> 00:06:46.290 movie because he then ends up leaving her on 00:06:46.290 --> 00:06:49.290 the pay. Because at the close to the end of the 00:06:49.290 --> 00:06:51.490 movies, it was like, yeah, just call her, call 00:06:51.490 --> 00:06:53.829 her. Here's a quarter. Call somebody who cares. 00:06:54.050 --> 00:06:56.449 Yada, yada, yada. Calls her up on the pay phone, 00:06:56.670 --> 00:07:00.370 asks the consuela or whatever the maid's name 00:07:00.370 --> 00:07:04.410 is. Is Holly there? Holly gets to the phone and 00:07:04.410 --> 00:07:07.949 obviously I think that's the truck scene or something. 00:07:08.430 --> 00:07:11.250 John has to go and save the day or whatever else 00:07:11.250 --> 00:07:13.689 and leaves Holly on the phone. Later he's like, 00:07:13.769 --> 00:07:16.529 oh crap, I left Holly on the phone. Zeus is like, 00:07:16.610 --> 00:07:20.870 yeah, just call her back. I did find that funny 00:07:20.870 --> 00:07:30.350 that he said that to her. Yeah. But yeah, no. 00:07:31.090 --> 00:07:39.230 Watching this, I almost didn't have to watch 00:07:39.230 --> 00:07:41.610 it, but I knew I was going to anyway because 00:07:41.610 --> 00:07:45.269 I just love this movie. And what I love about 00:07:45.269 --> 00:07:51.430 this movie is the distractions, the look this 00:07:51.430 --> 00:07:53.769 way so I can do this over here, the this, the 00:07:53.769 --> 00:07:57.660 that, the other thing. And then obviously it 00:07:57.660 --> 00:08:00.160 all boils down because the Gruber family are 00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:04.439 just money grubbers. It's just a heist. It's 00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:07.800 just a this. It's just a distraction. Yeah, it's 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:12.240 just the gold. They just want the money. Like... 00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:19.420 Back in the 80s and 90s when plots were simpler 00:08:19.420 --> 00:08:22.779 and they just wanted the money. Well, I find 00:08:22.779 --> 00:08:26.480 it funny, too, that that Simon didn't want he 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:28.180 didn't really care about hurting the kids. He 00:08:28.180 --> 00:08:29.879 used that as a distraction. He didn't really 00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:31.980 care about, you know, anything. He just want 00:08:31.980 --> 00:08:34.340 to keep John McClane busy. And it felt like a 00:08:34.340 --> 00:08:36.600 fun grudge because he was just like, I don't 00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:38.659 like John McClane because he did kill my brother. 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:41.340 But at the same time, I didn't like him much 00:08:41.340 --> 00:08:46.559 anyway. Yeah. And so he made it personal. But 00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:51.759 at the same time, at the end of the day. That 00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:54.840 wasn't his plot. He didn't care. No, he didn't 00:08:54.840 --> 00:09:00.519 care. He didn't care at all. What are some of 00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:07.840 your thoughts on With a Vengeance? I genuinely 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:12.820 liked it. One, you got Sam Jackson. Yep. Who's 00:09:12.820 --> 00:09:21.700 awesome. Yep. But then you also get... You get 00:09:21.700 --> 00:09:24.019 John McClane in this weird situation. I find 00:09:24.019 --> 00:09:25.639 it funny that at the beginning of the movie, 00:09:25.700 --> 00:09:29.799 he's a drunk. They had to go fish him out. Yep. 00:09:31.259 --> 00:09:33.720 You can tell the dude's had a hard life. He's 00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:35.879 lived through a lot of crap. He's just like, 00:09:36.059 --> 00:09:42.639 I'm just a mess. And he knew he was a mess. Yep. 00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:49.669 And then all of the crazy stuff that He ended 00:09:49.669 --> 00:09:53.850 up having to deal with, but I think he played 00:09:53.850 --> 00:09:56.769 well off of Sam Jackson as well. Oh, absolutely. 00:09:56.889 --> 00:10:00.830 Between the Zeus character trying to save him. 00:10:01.629 --> 00:10:05.210 Yeah. And he's like, call 911. I got to stop 00:10:05.210 --> 00:10:08.990 somebody from getting killed at the beginning. 00:10:09.169 --> 00:10:15.289 Yeah. And then Simon calls him the Samaritan. 00:10:18.250 --> 00:10:22.370 as they're going about but i don't know i there 00:10:22.370 --> 00:10:26.210 there was a lot here that made it different from 00:10:26.210 --> 00:10:29.990 the first two yeah oh yeah in a different and 00:10:29.990 --> 00:10:32.830 better way like i yes a lot of the explosions 00:10:32.830 --> 00:10:35.710 a lot of the you know unrealistic things that 00:10:35.710 --> 00:10:38.730 happened between all three movies uh the first 00:10:38.730 --> 00:10:40.970 was probably the most realistic realistic out 00:10:40.970 --> 00:10:43.850 of the three uh the second was kind of like out 00:10:43.850 --> 00:10:47.299 there This one's just as much out there in some 00:10:47.299 --> 00:10:52.419 ways, but at the same time, you got an entirely 00:10:52.419 --> 00:10:55.679 different situation with the heist. Getting away 00:10:55.679 --> 00:11:01.120 from the exploding ship. Yeah. There's no way 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.799 they would have survived that. But again, it 00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:10.220 was unique. And so for that, I genuinely enjoyed 00:11:10.220 --> 00:11:14.059 what they did with it. Yeah, absolutely. And 00:11:14.059 --> 00:11:16.120 the one thing I noticed on the rewatches that 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:18.799 we've been doing with the first three films is 00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:23.159 that the explosions at the end of every film, 00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:27.419 the rooftop explosion where John gets blown, 00:11:27.659 --> 00:11:32.480 not blown apart, but he gets blown back, the 00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:36.200 explosion where he's in the plane because he 00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:38.720 gets in the ejector seat and he gets blown out 00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:43.440 from there. And then the explosion in this. And 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.279 I'm like, huh, they're not all the same explosion, 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:49.340 but they're all very similar looking explosions 00:11:49.340 --> 00:11:52.200 kind of thing. And I was like, huh, they kind 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:56.259 of matched it. Not really, but it was very, very 00:11:56.259 --> 00:12:04.139 interesting to see all of that. But yeah. And 00:12:04.139 --> 00:12:11.429 yeah, Jeremy Irons is a perfect foil as as. Hans' 00:12:11.529 --> 00:12:15.870 brother, Simon. And they did the whole Simon 00:12:15.870 --> 00:12:21.149 Says thing, of course, because, you know... Oh, 00:12:21.169 --> 00:12:29.429 boy. I would hate... Just, man, that would be... 00:12:29.429 --> 00:12:33.889 That's kind of like me with that stupid cereal. 00:12:34.389 --> 00:12:38.950 Which one? You know which one. Do I? Yeah, you 00:12:38.950 --> 00:12:45.019 do. Life. Oh, look, Mikey, he likes it. No, I 00:12:45.019 --> 00:12:51.179 don't. I've never liked Life. Not enough sugar. 00:12:51.700 --> 00:12:57.879 Anyway. But, like, it's just like, oh, look, 00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:00.799 Simon Says. Oh, look, there's a game named Simon 00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:03.879 Says and this, that, and everything else. But, 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:09.289 you know, but Jeremy Irons, man, like. This was 00:13:09.289 --> 00:13:13.649 the, I can safely say, looking at his filmography, 00:13:13.850 --> 00:13:18.029 this was the second time I had, the first time 00:13:18.029 --> 00:13:22.549 I'd seen him on screen, but the second time I 00:13:22.549 --> 00:13:24.830 had heard his voice, because the first time I 00:13:24.830 --> 00:13:29.509 heard his voice was a year before as Scar in 00:13:29.509 --> 00:13:34.350 The Lion King. Oh no, Mufasa, it's you who should 00:13:34.350 --> 00:13:38.639 be afraid of whatever his line was. Uh, but yeah, 00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:43.340 no. And then I actually, um, dungeon, he was 00:13:43.340 --> 00:13:47.980 in dungeons and dragons. Uh, I mean, he's a wonderful 00:13:47.980 --> 00:13:51.259 actor. He's done a bunch of stuff. Kingdom of 00:13:51.259 --> 00:13:55.039 heaven, Aragon. Uh, he was in the pink Panther 00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:57.759 too. I'm assuming is the villain. I don't know. 00:13:57.799 --> 00:14:01.700 Batman V Superman justice league. Really? Oh, 00:14:01.779 --> 00:14:06.039 really? He was Alfred. Oh, that's right. Yeah. 00:14:06.809 --> 00:14:09.070 And he was, he's probably the best Alfred we've 00:14:09.070 --> 00:14:15.149 had in a while. No joke. Like he legitimately, 00:14:15.210 --> 00:14:17.730 like he actually was like working in the bat 00:14:17.730 --> 00:14:21.149 cave and like that's coming up with stuff. Like 00:14:21.149 --> 00:14:25.110 he was actually like that, that mentor and you 00:14:25.110 --> 00:14:26.970 know, the one that you expected kind of like 00:14:26.970 --> 00:14:29.730 the, uh, the one from the animated series. Yep. 00:14:29.929 --> 00:14:33.769 It was very hands on. Yeah. Yeah. Very cool. 00:14:33.870 --> 00:14:37.789 Very cool. I'm looking at his TV credits to see 00:14:37.789 --> 00:14:42.389 if there was anything. Oh, yeah, Dr. Captain 00:14:42.389 --> 00:14:47.549 Jackson on two episodes of SVU for Law & Order. 00:14:48.110 --> 00:14:51.570 He was the bar rag on The Simpsons. He was the 00:14:51.570 --> 00:14:56.990 voice of the bar rag in two of The Simpsons episodes 00:14:56.990 --> 00:15:01.919 from years ago. but yeah no he just has that 00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:05.279 that presence and he's got that gravitas he's 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:07.759 he's like he's like a lot of those actors that 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:10.120 have that kind of specialized voice that have 00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:12.600 that kind of certain tone that just kind of command 00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:15.059 it you know like almost like a morgan freeman 00:15:15.059 --> 00:15:19.399 yep oh absolutely 100 absolutely love this guy 00:15:19.399 --> 00:15:23.899 yeah i swear there was another movie i had seen 00:15:23.899 --> 00:15:26.460 him in and i absolutely love him in and i Can't 00:15:26.460 --> 00:15:30.600 find, I'm looking right at this. Like, I know 00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:33.340 I'm legally blind here, folks, but come on. No, 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:37.519 I guess not. I don't know. But, uh, but yeah. 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:48.879 Uh, but, uh, but yeah. And I mean, like, I don't 00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:54.480 think we really need to go down. Samuel Jackson's 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:57.559 filmography, but I will look at it just because 00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:02.179 just to cover our bases here. But I mean, like, 00:16:02.299 --> 00:16:06.379 I mean, I can probably read it off just, you 00:16:06.379 --> 00:16:14.019 know, Mace Windu, um, the guy from the, um, who 00:16:14.019 --> 00:16:22.440 was it? It was, um, Oh, um, unbroken. Or is it 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:26.600 Unbroken? Unbreakable. That's Elijah Price, Mr. 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:31.000 Glass. He was John Shaft in the 2000 version 00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:36.240 of that. But, I mean, Samuel L. Jackson is Samuel 00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:42.440 L. Jackson. Pulp Fiction was in 94. You know, 00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:46.179 but I forgot he was in Jurassic Park. My buddy 00:16:46.179 --> 00:16:49.039 Dave Draper and I covered Jurassic Park a while 00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:51.509 ago here on the podcast. Isn't that where he 00:16:51.509 --> 00:16:53.669 got his start? No, he got his start on something 00:16:53.669 --> 00:16:56.590 called Together for Days in 72. That was his 00:16:56.590 --> 00:17:03.049 debut, where he got probably the biggest guest. 00:17:04.029 --> 00:17:07.509 Well, I don't know. This is up for debate, folks, 00:17:07.650 --> 00:17:11.329 but 1990, he was Stax Edwards in Goodfellas, 00:17:11.329 --> 00:17:17.470 so that would probably be the biggest debut for 00:17:17.470 --> 00:17:21.710 him. but he had stuff before that. But going 00:17:21.710 --> 00:17:25.769 forward after that, The Return of Superfly, Strictly 00:17:25.769 --> 00:17:29.430 Business, Jungle Fever, Patriot Games in 92, 00:17:30.250 --> 00:17:35.569 Menace to Society in 93, he was in Loaded Weapon 00:17:35.569 --> 00:17:38.660 1. We should cover that. Have you ever seen Loaded 00:17:38.660 --> 00:17:41.200 Weapon 1? It's been a long time, and I don't 00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:43.779 remember enough about it, but I love the National 00:17:43.779 --> 00:17:47.240 Lampoon films. Yeah, yeah. It's an American parody 00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:50.440 film directed and co -written by Gene Quintano 00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:52.920 and starring Emilio Estevez, Samuel Jackson, 00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:56.730 Kathy Ireland. It's basically a spoof. But after 00:17:56.730 --> 00:18:00.349 Jurassic Park was Pulp Fiction, and then I had 00:18:00.349 --> 00:18:03.730 seen him after that, obviously here in With a 00:18:03.730 --> 00:18:06.089 Vengeance. After With a Vengeance, I had seen 00:18:06.089 --> 00:18:09.670 him in a movie I will be covering next year. 00:18:09.750 --> 00:18:11.509 I don't know who with, because I don't know who 00:18:11.509 --> 00:18:15.509 else is a fan of this movie besides me. 1996 00:18:15.509 --> 00:18:18.250 is The Long Kiss Goodnight. It's an American 00:18:18.250 --> 00:18:21.329 action thriller film. It's another Rennie Harlan 00:18:21.329 --> 00:18:26.940 film. So Rennie directed... Die Hard 2. It's 00:18:26.940 --> 00:18:29.079 with him and Geena Davis and a bunch of other 00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:33.000 people. In 97, he was in Jackie Brown. He was 00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:36.740 in Out of Sight with Clooney in 98. Obviously, 00:18:36.900 --> 00:18:40.400 like I mentioned, Mace Windu in 99 in Star Wars 00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:44.900 Episode I. He was in the XXX movies with Diesel 00:18:44.900 --> 00:18:50.799 and all that. He was in SWAT from 2003, but I 00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:53.539 mean, Samuel Jackson is, and that dude, that 00:18:53.539 --> 00:18:57.099 dude is the most generous, awesome dude ever. 00:18:57.180 --> 00:19:01.140 Any interview, any, anything you ever see him 00:19:01.140 --> 00:19:04.220 do, you hear him talk about the philanthropy 00:19:04.220 --> 00:19:07.920 that he and his wife do. Oh my God. That dude 00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:10.859 gives away more money than, than anyone ever 00:19:10.859 --> 00:19:13.599 has in Hollywood ever. What else I got on here? 00:19:16.490 --> 00:19:20.230 Many awards, obviously, big box office, you know 00:19:20.230 --> 00:19:24.390 all about that. Here's what you don't know. These 00:19:24.390 --> 00:19:27.970 are, and there's a few of them, the organizations 00:19:27.970 --> 00:19:32.809 that Samuel L. Jackson and his wife, LaTanya 00:19:32.809 --> 00:19:36.710 Jackson, give to.

Cedar Sinai, Broadway Cares, 00:19:48.029 --> 00:19:51.390 Equity Fights AIDS, Carousel of Hope, Children's 00:19:51.390 --> 00:19:55.250 Defense Fund, Desmond and somebody, Tutu, Legacy 00:19:55.250 --> 00:19:58.390 Foundation, Earth Island Foundation, the Hollyrod 00:19:58.390 --> 00:20:00.630 Foundation for Autism and Parkinson's Disease, 00:20:00.990 --> 00:20:03.630 In a Perfect World Foundation, the Joseph Lowry 00:20:03.630 --> 00:20:05.910 Institute for Social Change, Magic Johnson Foundation. 00:20:06.670 --> 00:20:09.369 Spelman College, Morehouse College, NAACP, Legal 00:20:09.369 --> 00:20:11.390 Defense Fund, National Action Network, Kidney 00:20:11.390 --> 00:20:13.529 Foundation, Solutions Coalition, the Smithsonian 00:20:13.529 --> 00:20:15.509 National Museum of African American History, 00:20:15.829 --> 00:20:18.069 Spelman College, United Negro College Fund, and 00:20:18.069 --> 00:20:24.569 the Urban League. Denzel. There's a clip out 00:20:24.569 --> 00:20:27.769 there somewhere on Instagram or YouTube or something 00:20:27.769 --> 00:20:32.630 where Denzel Washington was given an award to 00:20:32.630 --> 00:20:36.700 Samuel L. Jackson. And Denzel was just listing 00:20:36.700 --> 00:20:42.759 the things that Sam and his wife give money away 00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:46.140 to for charities. Oh, my God. Just so amazing. 00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:52.119 Obviously, I've had enough of these monkey snakes 00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:57.940 on this Monday to Friday plane. He was in Jumper. 00:20:58.059 --> 00:21:04.109 And then in 2008, you know, Mr. Stark. He became 00:21:04.109 --> 00:21:07.970 Nick Fury in Iron Man, and he would go on to 00:21:07.970 --> 00:21:10.190 be Nick Fury throughout the rest of the Marvel 00:21:10.190 --> 00:21:15.549 Cinematic Universe. So just absolutely love Samuel 00:21:15.549 --> 00:21:19.769 L. Jackson. And like you said, the two of them 00:21:19.769 --> 00:21:23.789 playing off of each other in this Die Hard with 00:21:23.789 --> 00:21:25.910 a Vengeance, again, could not be made today. 00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:29.660 Oh, heck no. But it was, it was great. Like, 00:21:29.660 --> 00:21:32.440 yeah, no, it was awesome. It was fun. It was, 00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:35.859 yeah. And that's why out of, I genuinely liked 00:21:35.859 --> 00:21:38.440 those two anyway. And so like having them together, 00:21:38.460 --> 00:21:40.740 like it's just, and they act again together, 00:21:40.859 --> 00:21:43.680 uh, later on in a couple of other movies, uh, 00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:47.180 unbreakable, I think is the one that the biggest 00:21:47.180 --> 00:21:51.160 one. Cause I think Bruce plays the, yeah. Cause 00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:55.390 like I mentioned, uh, Sam plays Mr. Glass. And 00:21:55.390 --> 00:21:57.710 Bruce plays the other guy. I forget what the 00:21:57.710 --> 00:22:01.650 other guy's name is. I saw, like, the first 30 00:22:01.650 --> 00:22:04.569 minutes of Unbreakable, and at the time when 00:22:04.569 --> 00:22:07.490 I saw it, I wasn't in the... This was years and 00:22:07.490 --> 00:22:09.250 years and years. This was, like, when it first 00:22:09.250 --> 00:22:12.289 came out. I wasn't really into it at the time. 00:22:13.170 --> 00:22:18.769 So, you know, whatever. But I guess I'll have 00:22:18.769 --> 00:22:20.250 to go back and give it another chance at some 00:22:20.250 --> 00:22:25.670 point. But, yeah, he plays David Dunn, Bruce's 00:22:25.670 --> 00:22:29.990 character in Unbreakable. I think they both were 00:22:29.990 --> 00:22:32.390 in Unbreakable, too, weren't they? Probably. 00:22:32.710 --> 00:22:36.210 Split, I think, is the sequel's name. Well, the 00:22:36.210 --> 00:22:41.069 movie, I think Split was the second film, and 00:22:41.069 --> 00:22:44.250 then Glass was the third. Right, yeah. And I 00:22:44.250 --> 00:22:48.630 think he came back for Glass. Although, I don't 00:22:48.630 --> 00:22:57.410 know. A ton of it. I don't think I've seen the 00:22:57.410 --> 00:23:01.190 second or the third. I may have seen the third. 00:23:01.529 --> 00:23:04.970 David makes a cameo appearance in the 2016 split 00:23:04.970 --> 00:23:09.589 where he visits a cafe. And 16 years later, David 00:23:09.589 --> 00:23:13.170 has become a superhero vigilante named the Overseer 00:23:13.170 --> 00:23:18.019 in Glass. This is just me. Quickly scanning Wikipedia 00:23:18.019 --> 00:23:25.299 over the appearances of David Dunn. I don't know 00:23:25.299 --> 00:23:31.359 if it's Bruce Willis or not in those films, because 00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:34.140 I'm just looking at the David Dunn character 00:23:34.140 --> 00:23:40.299 page. So I don't know if Bruce is in all three. 00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:44.079 What was your favorite scene in With a Vengeance? 00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:46.960 Well, aside from the water, where they're at 00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:49.660 the water fountain, having to figure out the 00:23:49.660 --> 00:23:53.259 amount of water. Yes. Yeah. And then they were 00:23:53.259 --> 00:23:55.779 just making it way too complicated. Yeah. Yeah, 00:23:55.819 --> 00:23:57.819 that was hilarious. I mean, you get that, and 00:23:57.819 --> 00:23:59.799 then you get them going through the tunnel, and 00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:03.200 yeah. Yeah, that was hilarious. Yeah, Bruce Willis 00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:06.299 is in Glass. Yep. I mean, he's on the cover. 00:24:07.099 --> 00:24:11.140 Okay. Oh, it was in 2019. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, he's 00:24:11.140 --> 00:24:15.380 in both. Yeah. oh i didn't know mcavoy was in 00:24:15.380 --> 00:24:18.140 that okay yeah he played the crazy guy with 24 00:24:18.140 --> 00:24:21.980 personalities oh boy i i don't know if i can 00:24:21.980 --> 00:24:25.740 watch like like i said i think i originally back 00:24:25.740 --> 00:24:28.660 in 2000 when unbreakable came out i think i made 00:24:28.660 --> 00:24:31.079 it 30 minutes into that film and it was a little 00:24:31.079 --> 00:24:34.420 too i was 20 years old at the time i was it was 00:24:34.420 --> 00:24:38.640 a little too unhinged for me at that time in 00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:42.829 2000 So I don't know if I would actually be able 00:24:42.829 --> 00:24:47.490 to make it through a triple feature of unbreakable 00:24:47.490 --> 00:24:53.509 splits glass. So, I don't know. It's something 00:24:53.509 --> 00:24:57.190 I'll have to think about in the future. But yeah, 00:24:57.250 --> 00:25:00.890 Die Hard with a Vengeance. It's, like I said, 00:25:01.029 --> 00:25:05.490 up to now. Look, folks, you've already heard 00:25:05.490 --> 00:25:10.589 our first two Die Hard episodes. And I stand 00:25:10.589 --> 00:25:13.069 by what I said in both of those, and I stand 00:25:13.069 --> 00:25:16.690 by what I say in this one as well. But I'm going 00:25:16.690 --> 00:25:23.150 to say this. After watching 3 and 4, as standalone 00:25:23.150 --> 00:25:29.170 story movies featuring John McClane, I like 2, 00:25:29.309 --> 00:25:32.849 3, and 4 better than I like the first one. I 00:25:32.849 --> 00:25:36.529 like the first one for what it is. I think the 00:25:36.529 --> 00:25:39.259 first one grounds it, though. Yeah, no, it does. 00:25:39.460 --> 00:25:44.759 It absolutely does, 100%. And I said this in 00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:48.539 the first episode, and I said it in the second 00:25:48.539 --> 00:25:52.140 episode, and I'll say it here. If there was only 00:25:52.140 --> 00:25:55.759 one Die Hard, and they never made anything else, 00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:58.240 even if we didn't get the awesome film that we 00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:00.299 have here with With a Vengeance, which would 00:26:00.299 --> 00:26:02.890 be a crime if we didn't get this. But if we never 00:26:02.890 --> 00:26:05.809 got this and we only had one Die Hard and it 00:26:05.809 --> 00:26:08.210 was a single story and they never did anymore, 00:26:08.549 --> 00:26:12.829 it would be an even better classic film than 00:26:12.829 --> 00:26:16.769 what it already is. But because it is so self 00:26:16.769 --> 00:26:21.579 -contained and we only see that character. have 00:26:21.579 --> 00:26:25.579 to act in that confined space and we don't get 00:26:25.579 --> 00:26:28.599 to see him breathe I'm not saying they're choking 00:26:28.599 --> 00:26:31.339 the character I'm just saying we don't get to 00:26:31.339 --> 00:26:35.220 see his full potential as a New York City police 00:26:35.220 --> 00:26:38.359 officer or an LA police officer yes I know technically 00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:40.220 he was a New York police officer the first one 00:26:40.220 --> 00:26:45.500 what I'm enjoying more out of seeing John McClane 00:26:45.500 --> 00:26:48.210 as a character and seeing Bruce Willis act as 00:26:48.210 --> 00:26:52.589 the character is getting to see him out in the 00:26:52.589 --> 00:26:56.009 world as the cop that he is. When we get to the 00:26:56.009 --> 00:27:01.509 next episode, he even says, I do this because 00:27:01.509 --> 00:27:05.970 he says something effective. I do this because 00:27:05.970 --> 00:27:09.970 it's who I am. It's something to that effect. 00:27:10.190 --> 00:27:14.359 He says it to Farrell. He says it to... To Mr. 00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:16.960 Macintosh over there. And I'm going to say that 00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:20.519 joke. Be prepared, dude. I'm going to make that 00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:24.680 joke every 10 minutes in that episode. Because 00:27:24.680 --> 00:27:31.440 Justin Long. Hi, I'm a PC. And I'm a Mac. Because 00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:37.980 that's all he was before Die Hard 4. The main 00:27:37.980 --> 00:27:42.220 movie I liked him in was Accepted. I don't even 00:27:42.220 --> 00:27:44.970 think I've seen that. It's a comedy movie, but 00:27:44.970 --> 00:27:46.670 he creates a college because he didn't get in 00:27:46.670 --> 00:27:49.730 it called South Harmon Institute of Technology. 00:27:50.230 --> 00:27:55.750 Oh, my God. Spell the acronym. Yeah, I got it. 00:27:55.849 --> 00:28:00.549 Oh, God. It's funny, though. It's a funny film. 00:28:00.730 --> 00:28:07.170 Yeah. And then. Yeah, they have a comedian like 00:28:07.170 --> 00:28:11.759 a guy that's kind of a washed up. person taken 00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:15.960 over is like the dean of the fake school so uh 00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:20.900 but yeah anyways this i i i prefer like i do 00:28:20.900 --> 00:28:23.980 like this film overall better than the other 00:28:23.980 --> 00:28:26.759 two so i do see where you're coming from with 00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:35.180 that um i i do enjoy the first film from a realism 00:28:35.180 --> 00:28:40.660 standpoint yep Uh, however, like the second film 00:28:40.660 --> 00:28:42.900 in the first film, I kind of have to be in that, 00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:44.880 that mood to watch it. Like the first film is 00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:52.299 good for what it is. This one is more, more fun 00:28:52.299 --> 00:28:55.220 in a lot of ways. Like as odd as that is with 00:28:55.220 --> 00:28:56.859 all the explosions and all the things going on. 00:28:56.900 --> 00:28:58.539 I mean, it's serious and it's grounded, but it's 00:28:58.539 --> 00:29:03.339 also like, I don't know, more entertaining from 00:29:03.339 --> 00:29:05.599 a, just a shut your brain off where you watch 00:29:05.599 --> 00:29:10.960 ability. Uh, and then I feel like the fourth 00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:13.559 one's kind of tied with the second in a lot of 00:29:13.559 --> 00:29:18.660 ways. Yeah. But so with a vengeance, I can, like 00:29:18.660 --> 00:29:21.200 I mentioned with the first two films, I, they 00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:26.079 are not like they're rewatchable when I have, 00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:31.000 not when I have to rewatch them, but like, say 00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:33.819 somebody is like, Hey, we're doing a diehard 00:29:33.819 --> 00:29:35.819 blah, blah, blah. Would you like to blah, blah, 00:29:35.859 --> 00:29:37.759 blah? I'm like, yeah, sure. I'll watch the movie 00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:40.779 and whatever. Yada, yada, yada. Anyone's asking 00:29:40.779 --> 00:29:44.400 me to be on a diehard podcast anytime soon, which 00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:47.099 is fine, whatever. But like, like I mentioned 00:29:47.099 --> 00:29:50.319 in the other episodes, I don't rewatch those 00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:53.779 to rewatch the movies. This, and I don't even 00:29:53.779 --> 00:29:55.900 rewatch, I don't even put them on for background 00:29:55.900 --> 00:29:59.420 noise. This movie, I'll put this movie on for 00:29:59.420 --> 00:30:03.880 background. because this movie has a better soundtrack 00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:09.480 and it has a better sound for background to me 00:30:09.480 --> 00:30:14.420 than the previous two do. This movie starts out 00:30:14.420 --> 00:30:17.299 with Love and Spoonful's Summer in the City. 00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:22.799 Like, you can't not start your movie with that 00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:25.299 and think, oh, this is going to be a party pooper 00:30:25.299 --> 00:30:31.170 movie. This is going to be whatever. I think, 00:30:31.250 --> 00:30:36.190 what does it got? The Saints go marching in when 00:30:36.190 --> 00:30:38.910 they're doing all the load up for the gold and 00:30:38.910 --> 00:30:43.990 whatever at one point. So yeah, this to me has 00:30:43.990 --> 00:30:47.650 a better sound. Will I eventually use this as 00:30:47.650 --> 00:30:49.869 background noise? Most likely, probably not. 00:30:50.009 --> 00:30:53.509 But when I was watching this movie today, I was 00:30:53.509 --> 00:30:57.569 like, huh, okay, I can get... With this movie, 00:30:57.789 --> 00:31:00.869 I can, you know, this would probably be something 00:31:00.869 --> 00:31:05.210 if I really was in the mood to have this on as 00:31:05.210 --> 00:31:07.950 background. It probably isn't going to be that, 00:31:08.049 --> 00:31:11.109 but it could be. It's in the running, whereas 00:31:11.109 --> 00:31:13.650 the other two aren't. But yeah, no, absolutely. 00:31:14.049 --> 00:31:18.009 I really enjoyed this rewatch. Every time I do 00:31:18.009 --> 00:31:21.009 rewatch this movie, I really do enjoy it. And 00:31:21.009 --> 00:31:25.019 like we said, the chemistry between... Bruce 00:31:25.019 --> 00:31:28.500 and Samuel L. Jackson. Bruce Willis and Samuel 00:31:28.500 --> 00:31:32.140 L. Jackson is just... Zeus and McClane, man, 00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:44.660 just... It's just so good. I almost wish they 00:31:44.660 --> 00:31:46.980 would have gotten another outing. That should 00:31:46.980 --> 00:31:54.019 have been Die Hard 5. Yeah. Yeah. There's so 00:31:54.019 --> 00:31:57.480 many things I would have wished for at the end 00:31:57.480 --> 00:31:59.539 of this movie and at the end of the next one. 00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:03.160 And none of what I would have wished for would 00:32:03.160 --> 00:32:06.259 have ended up being whatever the hell we actually 00:32:06.259 --> 00:32:15.940 got in 2013. Agreed. So, yeah. All right. Did 00:32:15.940 --> 00:32:19.299 the film keep your interest throughout? Yeah. 00:32:19.740 --> 00:32:23.720 Yeah, totally. Are we itching to watch the next 00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:28.559 film now? Yeah. Yeah, I like the next movie. 00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:32.339 I like the next one, too. Yeah, yeah. Would you 00:32:32.339 --> 00:32:35.220 recommend this film to people? Hell yeah. Yes. 00:32:35.500 --> 00:32:38.579 Yeah. Zero to five with half points. What are 00:32:38.579 --> 00:32:45.220 you going to give with a vengeance? He's fighting 00:32:45.220 --> 00:32:48.039 his urge, folks, because Steve never gives fives. 00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:54.559 It's a five. I'll probably give it a five because 00:32:54.559 --> 00:32:57.420 of those two. Yeah, it's a five. And it's got 00:32:57.420 --> 00:33:01.619 German irons. Yeah, you can't not give it a five. 00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:08.660 I really like those three. Yeah. Even the small, 00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:13.119 like, I was dreading. The one thing I was dreading 00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:16.539 because of how I know the man is today, the one 00:33:16.539 --> 00:33:20.079 thing I was dreading was the, I don't know. That's 00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:23.240 the next movie. Yeah, no, there's nothing in 00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:27.480 here. There's nothing in here. And they even 00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:32.920 make it better. The back and forth between the 00:33:32.920 --> 00:33:36.619 two of them about all the racial stuff, they 00:33:36.619 --> 00:33:40.359 talk it out, make it a conversation, and they 00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:43.500 don't just judge each other. They don't just 00:33:43.500 --> 00:33:46.140 go off on each other. They don't just say, blah, 00:33:46.200 --> 00:33:49.779 blah, blah, fuck you and walk away. yada yada 00:33:49.779 --> 00:33:52.819 yada yada yada blah blah blah blah blah and whatever 00:33:52.819 --> 00:34:00.059 whatever they actually sit there and and it's 00:34:00.059 --> 00:34:04.160 so good so yeah fives all around we're gonna 00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:06.279 go to a quick ad break we're gonna come back 00:34:06.279 --> 00:34:10.179 to close the show right after this this gentleman 00:34:10.179 --> 00:34:15.530 as they say is where the plot thickens Hello, 00:34:15.670 --> 00:34:18.650 geeks and geekettes!

What date? Where can 00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:04.239 people get it? How much is it going to cost? 00:43:04.420 --> 00:43:07.340 Like, give us the... I like to be a problem. 00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:09.900 You've been doing this for 20 fucking years. 00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:12.780 I really have to explain. I have to explain this 00:43:12.780 --> 00:43:15.659 shit to you? No, I just, I like to be a problem. 00:43:16.360 --> 00:43:21.099 Specifically for you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it's 00:43:21.099 --> 00:43:27.429 coming out on August 8th. And it's going to be 00:43:27.429 --> 00:43:33.670 on Amazon, on Kindle, on Barnes & Noble. And 00:43:33.670 --> 00:43:37.769 I'm working on getting it into distribution platforms 00:43:37.769 --> 00:43:40.329 so that it can get into libraries or actually 00:43:40.329 --> 00:43:44.429 physical bookstores for order. And the book will 00:43:44.429 --> 00:43:48.050 be $15 .99 for the physical edition and $9 .99 00:43:48.050 --> 00:43:51.869 for the digital. So here's the actual good, interesting 00:43:51.869 --> 00:43:55.429 question. When is the audio version coming? Yeah, 00:43:55.489 --> 00:43:58.130 you know, you're the second person that said 00:43:58.130 --> 00:44:01.969 that to me in the last week. I mean, if we could 00:44:01.969 --> 00:44:04.110 get that shit on Audible, you'd make tons of 00:44:04.110 --> 00:44:08.349 bank right there. Actually, you need to contact 00:44:08.349 --> 00:44:11.710 Audible to make it an Audible original. That 00:44:11.710 --> 00:44:14.909 would be fucking amazing for you. I probably 00:44:14.909 --> 00:44:19.260 could do it now. I actually thought about that 00:44:19.260 --> 00:44:21.860 earlier because somebody was like, hey, when 00:44:21.860 --> 00:44:23.539 are you going to do blah, blah, blah? And it 00:44:23.539 --> 00:44:25.820 was like in a forum. And then I had somebody 00:44:25.820 --> 00:44:28.780 physically ask me. Yep, you should do it. Actually, 00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:31.760 you make number three. I triple dog dare you. 00:44:31.780 --> 00:44:34.300 You can't undo a triple dog dare. You got to 00:44:34.300 --> 00:44:38.119 do it. I can. You got to do it. No, you can't. 00:44:38.119 --> 00:44:40.380 You can't undo a triple dog dare. Once you stick 00:44:40.380 --> 00:44:43.280 your tongue to that pole, it's stuck.
