You see this guy in control, we're 00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:35.920 going to see the whole thing fall apart. I'm 00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:47.439 talking terrorism, WMDs, nukes. Someone's got 00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:55.799 to stop him. Well, that's what we do. We go out 00:00:55.799 --> 00:01:01.990 to the cheap pep and do our thing. Our thing? 00:01:03.170 --> 00:01:06.989 Yeah. How about that?

Only on the GeekCast Radio Network. 00:01:18.769 --> 00:01:20.750 I'm, of course, Chief John Mike. Joining me once 00:01:20.750 --> 00:01:23.790 again, as always, is Steve Megatron. Hello, sir. 00:01:23.849 --> 00:01:30.750 How are you? Yo. Yo. Today we are concluding 00:01:31.579 --> 00:01:34.439 Five -episode arc here inside Christmas in July, 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.239 the specialty series covering every Die Hard 00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:41.719 film from the first one 37 years ago all the 00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:47.480 way up to Die Hard 5 from 2013. Holy crap, we 00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:52.879 made it. We did it. We have succeeded. These 00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:57.799 are, folks, the definitive Studio 2009 discussions 00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:01.939 on the Die Hard franchise. That's all I'm saying. 00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:05.500 I'm not saying these are the definitive GCRN 00:02:05.500 --> 00:02:07.680 ones. I'm just saying these are the definitive 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:11.639 versions of these movies that Steve and I have 00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:14.500 talked about for this specific podcast on our 00:02:14.500 --> 00:02:17.319 network. Because heaven forbid I say anything 00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:20.780 else. Today, we are closing out with whether 00:02:20.780 --> 00:02:25.740 or not it is a good day to die hard. First of 00:02:25.740 --> 00:02:34.389 all, 2013 in film. Holy crap. Because, wow. The 00:02:34.389 --> 00:02:38.370 only thing I remember from 2013 just offhand 00:02:38.370 --> 00:02:43.110 is Iron Man 3. Because I really enjoyed Iron 00:02:43.110 --> 00:02:47.930 Man 3. More so for Brian Tyler's musical score 00:02:47.930 --> 00:02:50.409 from that film. I liked the film overall, but 00:02:50.409 --> 00:02:53.009 it was the musical score. I still listen to that 00:02:53.009 --> 00:03:00.150 score. But yeah, 2013 in film, the top 10. The 00:03:00.150 --> 00:03:03.469 Hunger Games Catching Fire at number one. Iron 00:03:03.469 --> 00:03:06.310 Man 3 at number two. Frozen at number three. 00:03:06.430 --> 00:03:09.469 Despicable Me 2 at number four. Man of Steel 00:03:09.469 --> 00:03:12.270 at number five. Gravity, which I actually had 00:03:12.270 --> 00:03:14.509 to look at that to remember what that was. That's 00:03:14.509 --> 00:03:17.789 a Sandra Bullock thing from Warner Brothers. 00:03:18.710 --> 00:03:22.530 Monsters University. The Hobbit. The Desolation 00:03:22.530 --> 00:03:26.000 of Smaug. Fast and the Furious 6, which, folks, 00:03:26.099 --> 00:03:28.439 yes, the Fast and the Furious franchise reviews 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:30.900 with my buddy Sean and I are coming up next. 00:03:31.300 --> 00:03:35.819 After this, they will start in episode 146. So 00:03:35.819 --> 00:03:37.919 Fast and the Furious 6 came in at number 9, and 00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:40.539 Oz the Great and Powerful came in at number 10. 00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:43.520 Now, I'm not going to go through the entirety 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.180 of the year of 2013, but the coolest thing to 00:03:46.180 --> 00:03:50.659 me, when I look up... List of American films 00:03:50.659 --> 00:03:53.319 of, and then you put in whatever year it is on 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:56.319 Wikipedia. It gives you the top 10 box office. 00:03:56.460 --> 00:03:59.479 And then it lists you per the month, like January 00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:02.599 through March, April through whatever. And it 00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:05.719 lists all of the films that were released. Like, 00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:08.300 just off the top of my head as I'm scrolling 00:04:08.300 --> 00:04:14.120 really fast through here. Damn it, I'm scrolling 00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:19.470 too fast. The Croods. Olympus Has Fallen. Phil 00:04:19.470 --> 00:04:24.069 Spector, G .I. Joe Retaliation. Star Trek Into 00:04:24.069 --> 00:04:30.810 Darkness came out in 2013. As Steve inaudibly 00:04:30.810 --> 00:04:36.649 gasps and shudders in silence. And then gives 00:04:36.649 --> 00:04:44.110 an audible disgusted sigh. What else came out 00:04:44.110 --> 00:04:47.689 in 2013? I already mentioned Fast and Furious 00:04:47.689 --> 00:04:52.790 6. After Earth came out in 2013. Kings of Summer. 00:04:53.290 --> 00:04:55.930 One of the films that actually is only a trilogy 00:04:55.930 --> 00:04:58.790 currently right now. One of the ones that I actually 00:04:58.790 --> 00:05:02.129 really like is Now You See Me. That first film. 00:05:02.149 --> 00:05:05.050 That was pretty good. Yeah, I love that movie. 00:05:05.050 --> 00:05:08.250 Those are both good. I haven't seen the third 00:05:08.250 --> 00:05:10.209 one yet, but the first two. Well, the third one's 00:05:10.209 --> 00:05:12.370 not out. Oh, it's not out yet? I thought it was 00:05:12.370 --> 00:05:17.250 out already. Nope. uh world war z came out that 00:05:17.250 --> 00:05:20.370 year you know you you've got a whole bunch of 00:05:20.370 --> 00:05:23.870 stuff that like when i thought when i saw that 00:05:23.870 --> 00:05:28.470 this movie uh this final movie a good day to 00:05:28.470 --> 00:05:31.129 die hard came out in 2013 my first thought was 00:05:31.129 --> 00:05:34.290 okay besides iron man 3 what else came out in 00:05:34.290 --> 00:05:36.810 2013 again this is before i did any research 00:05:36.810 --> 00:05:38.990 before i looked at any lists before i looked 00:05:38.990 --> 00:05:42.230 at any anything i couldn't think of anything 00:05:42.230 --> 00:05:47.519 else They came out in 2013. However, I will say, 00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:52.759 A Good Day to Die Hard should have been a summer 00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:54.839 movie. I'm not saying it's a summer blockbuster 00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:56.480 and we're going to get into the plot and the 00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:59.199 story and all this and all that. Whatever. Fine. 00:05:59.959 --> 00:06:09.060 But this is not a date movie. It was a crappy 00:06:09.060 --> 00:06:15.600 movie. It was released on Valentine's Day. That's 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:19.939 why it bombed. I know. This was released on Valentine's 00:06:19.939 --> 00:06:23.259 Day 2013. What is it with Hollywood and studios 00:06:23.259 --> 00:06:26.899 releasing these action films? Any action film. 00:06:26.980 --> 00:06:29.189 I don't care what kind of. I don't care what 00:06:29.189 --> 00:06:30.790 it is. I don't care if it's Die Hard. I don't 00:06:30.790 --> 00:06:33.029 care if it's Drop Zone. I don't care if it's 00:06:33.029 --> 00:06:35.790 Daredevil because Daredevil was released on February 00:06:35.790 --> 00:06:39.250 14, 2003. And I like Daredevil. Don't get me 00:06:39.250 --> 00:06:41.750 wrong. I like Daredevil. But I don't understand 00:06:41.750 --> 00:06:44.750 why Hollywood has to release these. Why they 00:06:44.750 --> 00:06:48.850 bury these action movies on Valentine's Day. 00:06:49.430 --> 00:06:51.329 The only thing I can think of is they're trying 00:06:51.329 --> 00:06:55.110 to kill it. It's the only logical thing for me. 00:06:56.410 --> 00:07:00.009 In this movie's case, I would understand. But, 00:07:00.050 --> 00:07:07.589 like, I don't understand why... Okay, unless... 00:07:07.589 --> 00:07:11.389 Unless it was, like, a romantic comedy action 00:07:11.389 --> 00:07:16.170 film. Yeah. Like, something like the Gerard Butler 00:07:16.170 --> 00:07:19.290 or Tom Cruise, you know, those ones that they 00:07:19.290 --> 00:07:22.149 did. You know, the action film where they're 00:07:22.149 --> 00:07:24.029 kind of like the spy or, you know, whatever. 00:07:24.209 --> 00:07:27.689 Well, perfect example is 2005's Mr. and Mrs. 00:07:27.769 --> 00:07:31.029 I think it's 2005. Mr. and Mrs. Smith with Brangelina. 00:07:31.629 --> 00:07:37.490 That's a spy sort of action, romantic, whatever, 00:07:37.769 --> 00:07:41.389 where they're working for opposite ends of the 00:07:41.389 --> 00:07:44.670 CIA or whatever, opposite factions of each other, 00:07:44.689 --> 00:07:48.860 and they don't know. Kind of thing. So that I 00:07:48.860 --> 00:07:53.300 can see. But, like, die hard on Valentine's Day? 00:07:54.579 --> 00:07:58.220 I'm dying over here. See, folks? It is a good 00:07:58.220 --> 00:08:03.019 day to die hard. Well, it's not even like, you 00:08:03.019 --> 00:08:06.959 know, like, yes, Mr. and Mrs. Smith or Night 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:11.220 and Day with Tom Cruise. That was funny. Yeah, 00:08:11.220 --> 00:08:15.560 that was funny. Or Date Night with Steve Carell. 00:08:15.930 --> 00:08:19.649 Yep. Yep. That's good. Yeah. Even Adam Sandler's 00:08:19.649 --> 00:08:22.490 murder mystery, which was like a take on clue 00:08:22.490 --> 00:08:27.449 on a cruise ship with him and Jennifer Aniston. 00:08:27.589 --> 00:08:30.889 So, I mean, there's all these different ones. 00:08:32.350 --> 00:08:36.690 And yet this had nothing to do with it. Yeah, 00:08:36.730 --> 00:08:43.009 exactly. So going by our, our, our script here, 00:08:43.070 --> 00:08:48.379 did you, okay. So we know Guys Night, amazing 00:08:48.379 --> 00:08:52.240 band that came up with the Die Hard song that 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:56.279 we've been quoting in the past three, four movies. 00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:59.139 Did you come up with a fifth verse or no? I did 00:08:59.139 --> 00:09:03.840 not. Okay, good. Well, I started working on one. 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:05.500 I started writing it, and then I was looking 00:09:05.500 --> 00:09:09.080 for inspiration from... I even asked AI about 00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:13.559 it, and it was even kind of coming up short just 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:15.429 because... I mean, it came up with something, 00:09:15.509 --> 00:09:19.230 but it was like almost trying too hard to make 00:09:19.230 --> 00:09:23.090 it work. And I was like, even AI had a hard time 00:09:23.090 --> 00:09:28.230 because the movie was that bad. But no, I mean, 00:09:28.250 --> 00:09:30.529 I tried to write one and I honestly was looking 00:09:30.529 --> 00:09:32.389 at it. I was like, I'd much rather put this effort 00:09:32.389 --> 00:09:34.309 towards like another Pirates of the Caribbean 00:09:34.309 --> 00:09:37.289 movie. Oh, yeah, absolutely. No, because I mean, 00:09:37.309 --> 00:09:39.889 I never even reviewed the fifth one of that when 00:09:39.889 --> 00:09:44.909 I did M wire. Yeah. Uh, yeah, exactly. And look, 00:09:45.129 --> 00:09:56.389 so this movie is okay. I'm just going to run 00:09:56.389 --> 00:09:58.389 down my notes before we even talk about the plot. 00:09:58.490 --> 00:10:00.309 I'm just going to take you through my notes and 00:10:00.309 --> 00:10:04.490 what my, basically what my thought process was 00:10:04.490 --> 00:10:08.110 as I watched this. As I said, and I think I said 00:10:08.110 --> 00:10:11.250 this in episode 143, and I think I said it in 00:10:11.250 --> 00:10:14.230 episode 144. So the With a Vengeance and the 00:10:14.230 --> 00:10:19.450 Live Free or Die Hard. I have, other than the 00:10:19.450 --> 00:10:22.289 two trailers that I had sent you, I think, I 00:10:22.289 --> 00:10:25.429 had never seen this movie. I had no intentions 00:10:25.429 --> 00:10:30.070 of seeing this movie. For me, Die Hard ends with 00:10:30.070 --> 00:10:33.529 Live Free or Die Hard. I'd never seen it. It's 00:10:33.529 --> 00:10:36.549 2025. It's been 12 years since this movie got 00:10:36.549 --> 00:10:39.049 released in theaters and released to the whatever. 00:10:39.450 --> 00:10:42.210 So I literally went in on this cold other than 00:10:42.210 --> 00:10:44.029 the two trailers and the two trailers. By the 00:10:44.029 --> 00:10:46.409 time we record this and release it, it's like 00:10:46.409 --> 00:10:50.809 been three weeks since I saw those. I intentionally 00:10:50.809 --> 00:10:55.029 did not look at the Wikipedia article, did not 00:10:55.029 --> 00:10:57.669 look at the plot, did not look at anything whatsoever 00:10:57.669 --> 00:11:01.149 before watching, before clicking play three and 00:11:01.149 --> 00:11:04.009 a half hours ago. Literally, and that's the way 00:11:04.009 --> 00:11:05.470 I've been doing these, folks, and that's the 00:11:05.470 --> 00:11:08.190 way I always do the stuff before I do a Studio 00:11:08.190 --> 00:11:13.429 2009 recording. I watch whatever it is, as long 00:11:13.429 --> 00:11:15.909 as it's not like a 26 -episode -long television 00:11:15.909 --> 00:11:19.850 show. Heaven forbid a show that has 85 episodes 00:11:19.850 --> 00:11:22.269 or something. If it's just a movie or whatever, 00:11:22.470 --> 00:11:24.750 or a couple of movies, I'll watch it the day 00:11:24.750 --> 00:11:27.029 of. So that way it's so fresh in my mind. I'm 00:11:27.029 --> 00:11:29.549 just going to run. I was 40 minutes into this 00:11:29.549 --> 00:11:32.710 movie and it's all action with a few bits of 00:11:32.710 --> 00:11:37.350 dialogue here and there. And then the next line 00:11:37.350 --> 00:11:39.990 after that was double crossing daughter. I didn't 00:11:39.990 --> 00:11:42.169 even think she was his daughter. Didn't even 00:11:42.169 --> 00:11:45.029 realize it. Next note, probably like another 00:11:45.029 --> 00:11:51.210 30 minutes in. in all caps, if they fucking have 00:11:51.210 --> 00:11:54.909 to go to Chernobyl for period, period, period, 00:11:54.990 --> 00:12:02.950 period, period, in all caps, M -U -T -H -A, you 00:12:02.950 --> 00:12:07.129 know what that is, mother, in all, motherfucker, 00:12:07.330 --> 00:12:10.929 in all caps, exclamation point, exclamation point, 00:12:11.009 --> 00:12:18.539 exclamation point. lace eye lowercase it's about 00:12:18.539 --> 00:12:23.720 money a thousand periods all caps it's always 00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:27.580 about money i'm glad when other than the fact 00:12:27.580 --> 00:12:28.980 that and we're going to talk about this a little 00:12:28.980 --> 00:12:31.980 bit later but i'm glad no more diehard i'm glad 00:12:31.980 --> 00:12:34.740 absolutely glad if they reboot this with new 00:12:34.740 --> 00:12:39.500 actors and whatever i'm not showing up Because 00:12:39.500 --> 00:12:44.279 they're just going to do the same damn thing. 00:12:44.580 --> 00:12:48.940 However, this movie wasn't as bad as I thought 00:12:48.940 --> 00:12:52.120 it was originally going into it. Because it's 00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:54.659 not, even though it's not something I'd revisit 00:12:54.659 --> 00:12:59.679 any time soon, the best parts about this were 00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:02.080 the father -son moments between John and Jack. 00:13:03.769 --> 00:13:06.509 That's the best thing out of this whole movie 00:13:06.509 --> 00:13:09.669 is their interactions. Whether it's a good interaction 00:13:09.669 --> 00:13:12.070 or a bad interaction. Like when they first see 00:13:12.070 --> 00:13:14.710 each other and their camaraderie and their back 00:13:14.710 --> 00:13:18.570 and forth. All of that I love. The rest of this 00:13:18.570 --> 00:13:21.570 movie is just action, explosions, and blah, blah, 00:13:21.649 --> 00:13:26.809 blah. Yes, your thoughts? Well, I was going to 00:13:26.809 --> 00:13:28.889 say this is actually the first original story. 00:13:30.330 --> 00:13:34.100 Yeah, but... For Die Hard, the rest of them were 00:13:34.100 --> 00:13:36.299 based off of a book, and then they kind of inserted 00:13:36.299 --> 00:13:43.580 John McClane and kind of made it work. But this 00:13:43.580 --> 00:13:48.500 had mixed to negative reviews from both fans 00:13:48.500 --> 00:13:52.879 and critics, while the other films did not. While 00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:56.799 the action scenes were praised by even the harshest 00:13:56.799 --> 00:13:58.720 critics, many still were dissatisfied with the 00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:03.200 story's setup. people were complaining about 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:06.720 Jai Courtney as Jack and, you know, they didn't 00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:10.379 really have a chemistry per se, uh, in that Willis 00:14:10.379 --> 00:14:13.320 was more of a, you know, supporting character. 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:15.320 He didn't really have a true character like, 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:17.539 you know, Sam Jackson or Justin Long. It was 00:14:17.539 --> 00:14:24.240 kind of like, yeah. Um, I, I don't know. I, I, 00:14:24.299 --> 00:14:28.230 this film got a three out of five rating. by 00:14:28.230 --> 00:14:30.950 some places and it had a 14 % rotten with critics 00:14:30.950 --> 00:14:34.230 and 48 % rotten from audiences, which I don't 00:14:34.230 --> 00:14:37.129 care about, you know that, but it was funny because 00:14:37.129 --> 00:14:40.970 Bruce Willis had signed on to do a sixth diehard 00:14:40.970 --> 00:14:44.210 film and it was going to be called die hardest. 00:14:45.009 --> 00:14:51.090 Oh no. And this was in 2013. So it was written, 00:14:51.409 --> 00:14:53.330 you know, script was written at that time. The 00:14:53.330 --> 00:14:55.190 locations for the story were going to include 00:14:55.190 --> 00:14:57.850 New York and Tokyo's main settings for that film. 00:14:58.169 --> 00:15:01.230 So then it went into pre -production in 2014. 00:15:02.350 --> 00:15:05.350 And then in 2015, a prequel sequel titled Die 00:15:05.350 --> 00:15:08.470 Hard Year One was announced, which would show 00:15:08.470 --> 00:15:11.149 a younger John McClane and Holly in the 1970s. 00:15:11.309 --> 00:15:13.610 And then also, you know, take place in present 00:15:13.610 --> 00:15:17.309 day. So, you know, in 2018, the project was retooled 00:15:17.309 --> 00:15:20.269 under the title, you know, McClane. which would 00:15:20.269 --> 00:15:22.870 have incorporated elements of the Year One project. 00:15:23.110 --> 00:15:25.909 And then in 2019, the project was taken off Fox's 00:15:25.909 --> 00:15:30.070 slate because Disney bought them. And so they 00:15:30.070 --> 00:15:32.710 canceled the sixth Die Hard film and are planning 00:15:32.710 --> 00:15:35.529 to reboot the series for the streaming on Hulu 00:15:35.529 --> 00:15:38.149 at that time. And then it said in 2020, Bruce 00:15:38.149 --> 00:15:40.409 Willis reprised the role of John McClane for 00:15:40.409 --> 00:15:43.009 a two -minute short film commercial advertising 00:15:43.009 --> 00:15:48.090 Die Hard car battery. And then that was it. That 00:15:48.090 --> 00:15:51.879 was it. but I know the plan was for that sixth 00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:56.379 film was they were going to have, you know, it, 00:15:56.460 --> 00:15:59.360 it was going to be diehard year one or McLean 00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:03.820 and they were going to have it be the, the conclusion 00:16:03.820 --> 00:16:06.179 to the whole series. Like they were going to 00:16:06.179 --> 00:16:09.080 totally wrap it, be done, you know, two trilogies, 00:16:09.100 --> 00:16:11.960 boom, uh, McLean, you know, Bruce Willis was 00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.080 going to be in it. And then they were going to 00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:16.580 have, they were, they were going to have like 00:16:16.580 --> 00:16:21.519 this, this kind of, Japanese plot of sorts where 00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:26.080 he was a rookie cop in the 70s and he was trying 00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:30.659 to solve some attack on himself. He was severely 00:16:30.659 --> 00:16:36.059 wounded and hospitalized for McClain and in the 00:16:36.059 --> 00:16:39.379 future or something and then kind of flashing 00:16:39.379 --> 00:16:44.950 back and then They were going to do a run -through 00:16:44.950 --> 00:16:47.289 part of his history and dealing with everything 00:16:47.289 --> 00:16:51.110 else. A lot of different ideas were going to 00:16:51.110 --> 00:16:52.789 be in it. They were talking about bringing back 00:16:52.789 --> 00:16:57.470 Al Powell and Zeus and his daughter's son, Matt 00:16:57.470 --> 00:17:02.649 Farrell, for the current timeline. Then they 00:17:02.649 --> 00:17:05.150 were going to use archive footage of Simon Gruber 00:17:05.150 --> 00:17:12.119 and then Holly. I would have liked to have seen 00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:17.700 them tie it up properly at that point just to 00:17:17.700 --> 00:17:20.599 see what they did with it. You know, kind of 00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:21.980 because that would have been unique. That would 00:17:21.980 --> 00:17:24.119 have had him, you know, dealing with something 00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:27.599 that he had happened while he was a rookie cop 00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:30.099 and dealing with the fallout of it, you know, 00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:33.160 30 plus years later. And so in that instance, 00:17:33.220 --> 00:17:36.380 it would have been interesting. But instead we 00:17:36.380 --> 00:17:38.640 got like, I don't really need him going out of 00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:41.339 the country. Like his whole shtick is like, yeah, 00:17:41.460 --> 00:17:45.900 he's grounded in a, in a city. Yeah, absolutely. 00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:50.140 Absolutely. Uh, and, and the thing is now if 00:17:50.140 --> 00:17:55.099 they want to, you know, reboot it with, you know, 00:17:55.099 --> 00:17:58.640 different actors doing the, the, the roles and 00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:03.039 things like that, I, whatever, that's fine. But, 00:18:03.140 --> 00:18:08.009 you know, It is what it is, because now he retired 00:18:08.009 --> 00:18:13.509 from acting in 2022 because of his he suffers 00:18:13.509 --> 00:18:18.130 from FTD, which is a form of dementia. His health 00:18:18.130 --> 00:18:21.549 is not good. He's not like on the way out. But 00:18:21.549 --> 00:18:23.750 I just saw an article. I'm actually I have it 00:18:23.750 --> 00:18:28.109 pulled up here now where he can't basically speak 00:18:28.109 --> 00:18:32.759 or read or like he's not doing very well. No, 00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:35.339 and I feel horrible for the guy. Yeah, no, I 00:18:35.339 --> 00:18:38.880 feel so bad. He's one of my, you know, him and 00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:43.000 Arnold are kind of my favorite 80s action stars. 00:18:43.579 --> 00:18:50.859 Oh, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. 100%. I absolutely 00:18:50.859 --> 00:18:53.339 love him. I know back in the day, I think it 00:18:53.339 --> 00:18:55.640 was on the original MWire, maybe it was on Geekcast 00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:58.579 Radio, we did a, what did we do? No, we only 00:18:58.579 --> 00:19:02.119 did a Shatner spotlight. uh it was like the very 00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:04.720 first episode yeah yeah it was one of the very 00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:06.559 first episodes i feel like we should revisit 00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:08.740 some of the spotlights of certain actors and 00:19:08.740 --> 00:19:12.000 like do their do like our top five favorite films 00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:15.420 each or something or top 10 highest grossing 00:19:15.420 --> 00:19:19.980 films or something yeah absolutely because you 00:19:19.980 --> 00:19:22.640 know i i feel like arnold should have one you 00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:25.779 know yeah as well as yeah oh absolutely tom cruise 00:19:25.779 --> 00:19:28.079 you know i mean there's so many great i mean 00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:30.160 i forgot to include him with the 80s action but 00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:32.579 yeah he was a big part of it too yeah absolutely 00:19:32.579 --> 00:19:36.460 but yeah no like this movie like i was having 00:19:36.460 --> 00:19:42.500 fun watching it i enjoyed it looking at uh at 00:19:42.500 --> 00:19:47.160 jai courtney's filmography I had never heard 00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:49.839 of this guy, not before this. I'd known about 00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:54.539 him, but I've never seen Jack Reacher. I've never 00:19:54.539 --> 00:19:56.819 gotten into that world. I know it's a Tom Cruise 00:19:56.819 --> 00:20:01.420 thing. The first thing I had seen him in was... 00:20:01.420 --> 00:20:05.519 That's not what it was. For some odd reason, 00:20:05.579 --> 00:20:08.059 somebody told me to watch Terminator Genisys 00:20:08.059 --> 00:20:11.880 from 2015. I forget who told me. It's not that 00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:15.150 bad. No, I'm not saying it's bad, but I'm just 00:20:15.150 --> 00:20:17.390 saying somebody told me to watch it. I forget 00:20:17.390 --> 00:20:20.630 who it was. But I saw him in that as Kyle Reese, 00:20:20.730 --> 00:20:22.470 and I thought he was okay. I thought he was a 00:20:22.470 --> 00:20:24.990 decent actor. He's not like the best actor in 00:20:24.990 --> 00:20:27.829 the world, but I thought he was okay. But just 00:20:27.829 --> 00:20:31.390 looking at his filmography, there's not a lot 00:20:31.390 --> 00:20:40.049 here. He was in both Suicide Squad movies as... 00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:48.000 captain boomerang yeah um wait is that really 00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:52.900 what i think it is no it better not be tba war 00:20:52.900 --> 00:20:56.019 machine special ops boot camp who faced deadly 00:20:56.019 --> 00:20:59.359 force from another world okay he's supposed to 00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:01.400 be in something called war machine but every 00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:03.339 time i see the name war machine the first thing 00:21:03.339 --> 00:21:07.809 i think of is roadie and marvel he was in a movie 00:21:07.809 --> 00:21:10.230 this year called dangerous animals. I have no 00:21:10.230 --> 00:21:13.109 idea what that is in this movie, specifically 00:21:13.109 --> 00:21:16.470 a good day to die hard. He was okay. He's a little 00:21:16.470 --> 00:21:18.670 stiff, but his character, I think is supposed 00:21:18.670 --> 00:21:22.670 to like Jack McClane is supposed like, dad, what 00:21:22.670 --> 00:21:24.829 are you doing here? Get out of here. You're screwing 00:21:24.829 --> 00:21:27.769 things up. Like he's supposed to be a little 00:21:27.769 --> 00:21:31.930 stiff. And you see the cracks in that stiffness 00:21:31.930 --> 00:21:36.109 as the film goes along. Cause you kind of see 00:21:36.109 --> 00:21:39.390 lately, again, you're kind of seeing father and 00:21:39.390 --> 00:21:42.589 son together again. And you're kind of seeing 00:21:42.589 --> 00:21:44.910 like that when they're driving to Chernobyl. 00:21:51.970 --> 00:22:09.569 Sleeping. Was. Jet lag. Jeez, when's the last 00:22:09.569 --> 00:22:14.890 time we were in a car together? Drive home from 00:22:14.890 --> 00:22:19.130 Trenton. And bail you out for that weapons charge. 00:22:20.490 --> 00:22:25.710 Yeah. That was the fire thing, right? When you 00:22:25.710 --> 00:22:31.410 said South Philly on fire, you mean? If you take 00:22:31.410 --> 00:22:33.170 out a second mortgage on the house, then we can 00:22:33.170 --> 00:22:37.269 bail. Yeah, I'm sorry about that. It was funny. 00:22:50.190 --> 00:22:56.589 We're going to Chernobyl. Yeah. The Chernobyl. 00:22:57.869 --> 00:23:00.289 The radioactive joint meltdown. That's the one. 00:23:02.789 --> 00:23:04.750 It's not the Chernobyl in Switzerland, right? 00:23:05.029 --> 00:23:07.849 With all the skiing and the snow and everything. 00:23:08.170 --> 00:23:13.410 You mean Grenoble? No, sorry, we're not going 00:23:13.410 --> 00:23:18.890 to Grenoble. And they have to talk to each other 00:23:18.890 --> 00:23:20.950 because they're in the same car. They can't just 00:23:20.950 --> 00:23:22.970 sit there. Well, they could just sit there, but 00:23:22.970 --> 00:23:27.410 you have to cover that time. And they talk about 00:23:27.410 --> 00:23:29.430 the time when this, and the time when that, and 00:23:29.430 --> 00:23:32.109 whatever. So I kind of like that. But I like 00:23:32.109 --> 00:23:34.430 it when they finally get to the point of, hey, 00:23:34.509 --> 00:23:37.329 okay, fine, let's team up, let's this, let's 00:23:37.329 --> 00:23:40.829 that, and let's do this thing together. Overall, 00:23:41.009 --> 00:23:44.910 I enjoyed watching the movie. It's just that 00:23:44.910 --> 00:23:53.390 I wanted more from this movie than just another 00:23:53.390 --> 00:23:58.940 freaking heist. Oh, I agree with you. I know 00:23:58.940 --> 00:24:01.019 that's technically what all of the Die Hard movies 00:24:01.019 --> 00:24:04.720 have been since the first one. I get it. But 00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:15.200 you've had five movies. You couldn't have done 00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:19.019 something a little more with this? They did say, 00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:24.519 one of the critics said, They said it was mercifully 00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:27.940 shorter than Die Hard 4, which I agree. There 00:24:27.940 --> 00:24:29.680 were segments of Die Hard 4 that went on too 00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:32.079 long. But they said in a week as bad as this 00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:34.039 in the cinema, meaning that there must have been 00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:36.400 a lot of crappy movies that came out that week 00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:40.619 or that time of year. It is the only new movie 00:24:40.619 --> 00:24:43.279 I would have paid to see, is what one of the 00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:49.640 reviewers had said. Yeah. So I have the time 00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:53.069 links right here for all of them. The original 00:24:53.069 --> 00:24:55.910 Die Hard comes in at 2 hours, 12 minutes, and 00:24:55.910 --> 00:25:00.970 7 seconds. Second movie is 2 hours, 3 minutes, 00:25:01.009 --> 00:25:05.930 and 21 seconds. Third movie, 208, 31. Fourth 00:25:05.930 --> 00:25:11.349 movie is 208, 44. And the fifth movie is 1 hour, 00:25:11.430 --> 00:25:15.509 41 minutes, and 11 seconds. So it's basically 00:25:15.509 --> 00:25:20.450 like 20 -something minutes shorter, 24, 25 minutes 00:25:20.450 --> 00:25:24.690 shorter. than the other four movies. And the 00:25:24.690 --> 00:25:27.069 funny thing is, it doesn't really show that it's... 00:25:27.069 --> 00:25:31.890 Like, to me, I didn't feel like I was here less 00:25:31.890 --> 00:25:36.230 time. I didn't feel like this movie went by any 00:25:36.230 --> 00:25:38.990 faster than the other ones did. I didn't feel 00:25:38.990 --> 00:25:45.109 like... Each one of these scenes, as it progressed, 00:25:45.269 --> 00:25:48.230 it progressed at a pace that I felt was decent 00:25:48.230 --> 00:25:53.799 for what the film is. It didn't feel like there 00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:56.279 were scenes that could have been like, maybe 00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:58.319 that's what it was. Maybe they looked at the 00:25:58.319 --> 00:26:00.440 script and maybe the script, maybe one of the 00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:03.000 original scripts had more scenes that they actually 00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:05.799 cut beforehand. And they probably said, Oh, well, 00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:07.720 this is going to make the movie too long, or 00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:09.160 this doesn't make sense. Or I don't know what 00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:11.400 they did in the, in the, behind the scenes, but 00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:17.420 this feels like a really tight minute by minute 00:26:17.420 --> 00:26:21.829 by minute. go go go go go action action action 00:26:21.829 --> 00:26:25.009 action action here's a couple of emotional moments 00:26:25.009 --> 00:26:28.109 with father and son here's a couple of emotional 00:26:28.109 --> 00:26:29.730 moments that really aren't going to matter in 00:26:29.730 --> 00:26:33.869 the end between john and the actual villain of 00:26:33.869 --> 00:26:36.190 the beast and that's the problem here i think 00:26:36.190 --> 00:26:46.470 is that no offense to the actor but um yeah uh 00:26:46.470 --> 00:26:53.880 you ain't no uh You ain't no Jeremy Irons, Victor. 00:26:54.940 --> 00:27:02.420 You ain't no Alan Rickman. The villain here just... 00:27:02.420 --> 00:27:08.200 There was no big box office villain. That, I 00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:10.220 think, is the problem with this movie. There 00:27:10.220 --> 00:27:13.720 is no big box office named villain. That's the 00:27:13.720 --> 00:27:15.900 problem here. You could still have the same plot. 00:27:16.299 --> 00:27:20.930 You absolutely could. Just put... hell put um 00:27:20.930 --> 00:27:24.490 oh what's his name put red guardian in here is 00:27:24.490 --> 00:27:28.369 the villain jesus something uh what i need to 00:27:28.369 --> 00:27:31.250 bring up now because i completely missed this 00:27:31.250 --> 00:27:33.190 i i almost went back and re -watched the film 00:27:33.190 --> 00:27:35.529 before you jumped on the call for the podcast 00:27:35.529 --> 00:27:40.049 recording something i completely missed in the 00:27:40.049 --> 00:27:43.289 other two recordings for uh with a vengeance 00:27:43.289 --> 00:27:48.819 and die hard for Mary Elizabeth Winstead as the 00:27:48.819 --> 00:27:52.000 grown -up Lucy McClain. I didn't see Lucy at 00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:53.420 the end of this movie. I don't know where the 00:27:53.420 --> 00:27:56.339 hell she was when they went back. It's when they 00:27:56.339 --> 00:27:59.339 got off the airplane, she hugged him. Oh, okay. 00:27:59.740 --> 00:28:02.940 She was at the very beginning, too. Was she at 00:28:02.940 --> 00:28:04.920 the very beginning? Okay. Yes, she was. Yeah, 00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:07.039 that's right. Because she dropped him off at 00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:10.579 the airport. Right? Yeah, she's like, try not 00:28:10.579 --> 00:28:13.160 to make this a big mess. That's yeah. That's 00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:15.519 right. Okay. Okay. Okay. I got it. I, but there, 00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:19.000 but I did not get to mention Mary. I forgot to 00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:21.579 mention Mary Elizabeth Winstead as the adult 00:28:21.579 --> 00:28:24.220 Lucy McLean because Mary Elizabeth Winstead is 00:28:24.220 --> 00:28:28.599 amazing. Oh yeah. I mean, in general, not just 00:28:28.599 --> 00:28:33.880 as Lucy, but just in general. Cause damn her 00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:36.740 filmography, something, I don't know if it's 00:28:36.740 --> 00:28:39.589 something you'd be how. This is a discussion 00:28:39.589 --> 00:28:41.289 for a different day, but how do you feel about 00:28:41.289 --> 00:28:46.509 Sky High from 2005? Great. Huh? I like the movie. 00:28:46.730 --> 00:28:51.750 Okay, good. 20th anniversary this year. Anyway, 00:28:51.869 --> 00:28:58.670 she was Gwen Grayson in that. I remember. She's 00:28:58.670 --> 00:29:00.750 married to Ewan McGregor. Yeah, she's married 00:29:00.750 --> 00:29:03.490 to Obi -Wan. Yeah, that's the coolest thing is 00:29:03.490 --> 00:29:07.529 that Hera Syndulla is married to Obi -Wan Kenobi. 00:29:12.620 --> 00:29:15.980 Which makes his, and I know we're not talking 00:29:15.980 --> 00:29:20.140 about Ewan, which is so funny because it makes 00:29:20.140 --> 00:29:24.799 his story that he always tells about the doors 00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:32.190 and about driving his daughters to school. uh 00:29:32.190 --> 00:29:34.630 but but about the doors where he's like i will 00:29:34.630 --> 00:29:37.329 use the jedi mind trick with the doors and whatever 00:29:37.329 --> 00:29:43.369 but but her filmography by herself ab i remember 00:29:43.369 --> 00:29:45.170 i think there i think this was an episode of 00:29:45.170 --> 00:29:48.130 m wire where i went on a rant about abraham lincoln 00:29:48.130 --> 00:29:52.289 vampire hunter it's possible i think there's 00:29:52.289 --> 00:29:54.630 an episode that i don't even think i ever saw 00:29:54.630 --> 00:29:56.970 it but i think i went on it but anyway so yeah 00:29:56.970 --> 00:30:03.109 uh like i mentioned live free die hard Kill the 00:30:03.109 --> 00:30:10.509 Messenger. Birds of Prey from 2020. She is... 00:30:10.509 --> 00:30:15.710 This shocked me. I can't believe they're in the 00:30:15.710 --> 00:30:20.029 processes of doing this. I guess I can, but I 00:30:20.029 --> 00:30:25.450 can't because it's so one -shot. You know how 00:30:25.450 --> 00:30:28.960 I always talk about how... I mean, I mainly say 00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:30.759 this, but I know we've talked about this before, 00:30:30.859 --> 00:30:33.279 how everything nowadays is franchise, franchise, 00:30:33.339 --> 00:30:36.480 franchise. And there's no single thing anymore. 00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:38.740 There's no single film. There's no single this, 00:30:38.779 --> 00:30:43.980 single that. Apparently, she is going to be the 00:30:43.980 --> 00:30:48.460 character role of Claire Bartel in a new version 00:30:48.460 --> 00:30:55.039 of 1992's The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. Hmm. 00:30:55.579 --> 00:30:58.279 This is one of the only horror movies that I 00:30:58.279 --> 00:31:03.500 actively enjoy and have watched before. The original 00:31:03.500 --> 00:31:08.140 version from 1992 starred Rebecca De Mornay, 00:31:08.420 --> 00:31:15.779 Annabella Scara, and Ernie Hudson's in it as 00:31:15.779 --> 00:31:21.099 the kind of, I'll say disabled, instead of using 00:31:21.099 --> 00:31:24.359 retarded, I'll say disabled kind of gardener 00:31:24.359 --> 00:31:27.779 guy. And I can't believe they're doing a remake 00:31:27.779 --> 00:31:32.059 of that. For television, Mary Elizabeth Winstead 00:31:32.059 --> 00:31:35.619 debuted in 1997 as Christy on Touched by an Angel. 00:31:35.940 --> 00:31:40.200 She was on Promised Land, Passions. Let's see. 00:31:40.380 --> 00:31:44.640 Oh, I need to get that DVD. She was in an episode 00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:47.880 of one of my favorite shows starring Eliza Dushku 00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:53.490 called True Calling in 2004. She was on Comedy 00:31:53.490 --> 00:31:57.369 Bang Bang. She was on Mercy Street. She was on 00:31:57.369 --> 00:32:03.490 Fargo. And then in 2023, she made her debut main 00:32:03.490 --> 00:32:07.690 role as the live action version of Hera Syndulla 00:32:07.690 --> 00:32:12.349 on Ahsoka. And you guys can listen to, I think 00:32:12.349 --> 00:32:14.609 it's multiple episodes of my buddy Dave Draper 00:32:14.609 --> 00:32:17.190 and I discussing Ahsoka season one and season 00:32:17.190 --> 00:32:20.089 two. I don't think we ever did season three. 00:32:20.779 --> 00:32:23.519 I forget 12 months of star Wars here inside the 00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:25.700 studio. 2009 kind of all runs together for me 00:32:25.700 --> 00:32:28.819 sometimes, but yeah, no, I love Mary Elizabeth 00:32:28.819 --> 00:32:32.559 Winstead and I love, she's great. Yeah. I love 00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:36.980 her as the adult Lucy McClain. That just really 00:32:36.980 --> 00:32:41.940 works for me. So cool. But overall, I, like I 00:32:41.940 --> 00:32:44.599 said, at the end of the day, I enjoyed watching 00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:52.680 this movie. I just. The, I think my two favorite 00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:56.539 stunts were the, there was the highway, the, 00:32:56.619 --> 00:32:59.619 the, the freeway stunt, the highway stunt where 00:32:59.619 --> 00:33:03.940 the, the, where he drives the, the, the, the 00:33:03.940 --> 00:33:08.880 truck off the thing where he's driving down, 00:33:08.980 --> 00:33:11.240 where he's going down, he's using the other vehicles, 00:33:11.259 --> 00:33:14.099 like a ramp, like he's driving off the tall truck. 00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:17.180 It's like one of those truck, the, the car carrier 00:33:17.180 --> 00:33:19.829 trucks. And he's driving down, driving down. 00:33:19.910 --> 00:33:23.410 I like that one. And then the end with the helicopter. 00:33:23.730 --> 00:33:27.150 Oh, my God. That helicopter stunt was awesome. 00:33:27.369 --> 00:33:31.190 I love that stunt. That was so good. What are 00:33:31.190 --> 00:33:34.109 some of your favorite moments? I mean, how he 00:33:34.109 --> 00:33:38.049 showed up was pretty funny on its own. He's like, 00:33:38.069 --> 00:33:41.089 Dad? He's like, Jack! Jack! What are you doing? 00:33:41.569 --> 00:33:44.609 Yeah. He's like, what are you doing? Pull over. 00:33:44.789 --> 00:33:48.640 And he's like, oh, why is he here? I don't know. 00:33:48.700 --> 00:33:50.960 There were a lot of interesting moments, but 00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:54.960 I felt like this was not a diehard film. Yeah, 00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:59.940 it was more of just a straight action film. It 00:33:59.940 --> 00:34:03.220 could have been anybody in those roles. Yeah. 00:34:04.039 --> 00:34:07.339 The only reason why I say it probably couldn't 00:34:07.339 --> 00:34:13.690 have been is because he keeps... Other than the 00:34:13.690 --> 00:34:15.530 father -son moments between the two of them and 00:34:15.530 --> 00:34:17.570 the memories and the this and the that and the 00:34:17.570 --> 00:34:19.849 whatever and your mother this and your sister 00:34:19.849 --> 00:34:23.369 that and blah, blah, blah. He keeps saying, I'm 00:34:23.369 --> 00:34:25.809 supposed to be on vacation. This is supposed 00:34:25.809 --> 00:34:28.869 to be my vacation. Blah, blah, blah. It's a very 00:34:28.869 --> 00:34:32.289 John McClane thing. Not every character does 00:34:32.289 --> 00:34:36.469 that kind of thing. And the other thing is, you 00:34:36.469 --> 00:34:39.829 know, this is what we do. This is why we're here. 00:34:40.010 --> 00:34:45.070 This is... So, Again, the relationship between 00:34:45.070 --> 00:34:49.570 the two of them is why I like the movie as a 00:34:49.570 --> 00:34:51.550 die -hard movie. But again, you're absolutely 00:34:51.550 --> 00:35:00.750 right. This is the... Out of all five die -hard 00:35:00.750 --> 00:35:04.449 movies, this is the less die -hardest of the 00:35:04.449 --> 00:35:09.030 die... If that makes any sense, you have die 00:35:09.030 --> 00:35:12.849 -hard and that... That one is obviously the cream 00:35:12.849 --> 00:35:16.130 of the crop for everybody. You got the second 00:35:16.130 --> 00:35:18.449 one. That one's okay. You got the third one. 00:35:18.489 --> 00:35:20.650 That one's kind of like also at the very tip 00:35:20.650 --> 00:35:23.829 top. You got the fourth. If I was to sit here 00:35:23.829 --> 00:35:29.670 and rank them, and we can both do this, I would 00:35:29.670 --> 00:35:33.690 probably put, and this is just me personally, 00:35:33.929 --> 00:35:39.489 I would probably put it at... Uh, let's see here. 00:35:39.570 --> 00:35:43.630 Where did I put these things? Yeah, that's my 00:35:43.630 --> 00:35:48.250 favorite. Yeah. So we're not going to grow any 00:35:48.250 --> 00:35:52.630 third arms or anything, are we? Nah. You might 00:35:52.630 --> 00:35:56.809 lose your hair. Ha! Laugh it up, kid. This is 00:35:56.809 --> 00:36:00.269 you five years from now. Alright, so going down, 00:36:00.349 --> 00:36:03.730 number five to number one. Good Day to Die Hard 00:36:03.730 --> 00:36:08.170 is in last place. Because it's... It has diehard 00:36:08.170 --> 00:36:14.110 moments, but I think they focused more on, hey, 00:36:14.250 --> 00:36:16.530 let's have a movie with all the explosions and 00:36:16.530 --> 00:36:18.570 all the car crashes and all of this. And don't 00:36:18.570 --> 00:36:21.590 get me wrong. I like explosions. I like car crashes. 00:36:21.670 --> 00:36:24.190 I like plane crashes. I like when helicopters 00:36:24.190 --> 00:36:27.730 go exploding into buildings and all that and 00:36:27.730 --> 00:36:31.929 whatever else. But it's the least diehardiest 00:36:31.929 --> 00:36:35.389 of all the diehards. I will put live free at 00:36:35.389 --> 00:36:37.949 number four. I will put the second movie at number 00:36:37.949 --> 00:36:42.670 three, me personally, because I don't watch it 00:36:42.670 --> 00:36:45.389 as much. I would not watch it as much as I would 00:36:45.389 --> 00:36:48.909 watch the other one. The original diehard for 00:36:48.909 --> 00:36:52.170 me personally goes at number two and then, and 00:36:52.170 --> 00:36:54.829 then vengeance goes at number one. That's how 00:36:54.829 --> 00:36:58.630 I would rank all five for me personally. And 00:36:58.630 --> 00:37:02.739 I know you'd probably switch one and two. Yeah, 00:37:02.820 --> 00:37:07.500 I'd probably have one as number one, and then 00:37:07.500 --> 00:37:15.179 I'd have probably three, four, two, and five. 00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:18.119 I only put two towards the end, not because I 00:37:18.119 --> 00:37:19.900 dislike it, but because I like the other two 00:37:19.900 --> 00:37:25.179 more. So you'd have two at number four. And it's 00:37:25.179 --> 00:37:27.739 not a reflection of the film being bad. It's 00:37:27.739 --> 00:37:31.730 just I prefer... 1, 3, and 4 more. And I saw 00:37:31.730 --> 00:37:35.389 4 before I saw 2, so it holds a different place. 00:37:35.590 --> 00:37:39.949 Yeah, but if they do reboot... For me, it all 00:37:39.949 --> 00:37:42.369 comes down to whatever trailer anyone puts out. 00:37:42.449 --> 00:37:44.989 Once I see a trailer, that's how I make my first 00:37:44.989 --> 00:37:46.829 decision on whether I want to see something or 00:37:46.829 --> 00:37:51.809 not. Well, it's like, do they go for it and try 00:37:51.809 --> 00:37:55.929 and redo it? I mean, we got Death Wish rebooted 00:37:55.929 --> 00:38:01.199 without... you know charles bronson and it was 00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:03.900 uh totally different yeah i didn't even know 00:38:03.900 --> 00:38:06.579 that they did that well bruce willis was in it 00:38:06.579 --> 00:38:12.880 i didn't even know i i knew i didn't watch it 00:38:12.880 --> 00:38:20.860 but i knew it wasn't it wasn't very good i'll 00:38:20.860 --> 00:38:24.400 just leave it at that It was like the tail end, 00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:27.780 because he's been on the decline of crappy movies 00:38:27.780 --> 00:38:32.119 in the last 15 years. And again, all of these 00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:37.840 franchise things, all of these 80s and 90s things, 00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:41.400 Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Death Wish, what else? 00:38:41.579 --> 00:38:46.960 Terminator, Lethal Weapon. What else? What else? 00:38:46.980 --> 00:38:50.139 What else? Come on. What other action franchises 00:38:50.139 --> 00:38:56.090 we got? All of them, all of these stars that 00:38:56.090 --> 00:38:59.090 debuted and did all these things, all of them 00:38:59.090 --> 00:39:05.670 are getting older. All of them are either retired 00:39:05.670 --> 00:39:12.730 or retiring or whatever. This is why, you know, 00:39:12.809 --> 00:39:17.809 you know, head against my desk here. This is 00:39:17.809 --> 00:39:20.969 why we need new things. This like you can still 00:39:20.969 --> 00:39:23.920 have every. Like you just said earlier, this 00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:26.539 movie doesn't feel like a diehard movie. This 00:39:26.539 --> 00:39:29.500 movie feels like a blank slate action movie. 00:39:29.760 --> 00:39:33.719 You can take this plot, take the diehardness 00:39:33.719 --> 00:39:36.940 out of it, take McClane's out of it, put any 00:39:36.940 --> 00:39:40.760 other character, rename the roles, and make it 00:39:40.760 --> 00:39:43.539 a new action movie franchise. You can still use 00:39:43.539 --> 00:39:46.849 this plot if the plot isn't the problem. it's 00:39:46.849 --> 00:39:49.130 the fact no the plot is the plot like it's it's 00:39:49.130 --> 00:39:51.269 gonna be the same no matter yeah the plot yeah 00:39:51.269 --> 00:39:54.289 exactly like you know we've had the same plots 00:39:54.289 --> 00:39:56.530 for a thousand fucking years of hollywood or 00:39:56.530 --> 00:40:00.949 whatever the hell like you know that's fine don't 00:40:00.949 --> 00:40:05.150 plug die hard characters into this create new 00:40:05.150 --> 00:40:09.090 characters make new eventually at some point 00:40:09.090 --> 00:40:11.949 i don't know if it's gonna be probably you and 00:40:11.949 --> 00:40:13.489 somebody else. I don't know how many other people 00:40:13.489 --> 00:40:17.309 want, maybe it'll be DJ. I don't know the expendables. 00:40:17.349 --> 00:40:19.829 How do you feel about the expendables? You know, 00:40:19.869 --> 00:40:21.570 I've never actually watched it, but I know it's 00:40:21.570 --> 00:40:24.690 a lot of eighties action. Yeah. It's a lot of 00:40:24.690 --> 00:40:28.250 the eighties action stars, but they're in unique 00:40:28.250 --> 00:40:31.250 roles to them because they're new care. They're 00:40:31.250 --> 00:40:34.429 not, they're established characters. Like a slide 00:40:34.429 --> 00:40:37.050 plays a character named Barney and they're all 00:40:37.050 --> 00:40:40.440 military type guys and things like that. And 00:40:40.440 --> 00:40:42.539 they go on these missions. And it's three different 00:40:42.539 --> 00:40:45.380 missions. And each film, they add something new 00:40:45.380 --> 00:40:48.519 each time. Or they add a new 80s character each 00:40:48.519 --> 00:40:50.420 time kind of thing. And there are only three 00:40:50.420 --> 00:40:54.639 of them. And I loved them. I thought they were 00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:57.519 great for the time that they were in. I thought 00:40:57.519 --> 00:41:00.800 it was one of those things where it was a final 00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:05.460 last stand for the 80s action stars. And it was 00:41:05.460 --> 00:41:09.619 so cool. Because it was a way to get all of these 00:41:09.619 --> 00:41:14.139 guys back together in one franchise to see them 00:41:14.139 --> 00:41:18.440 all one last time before, heaven forbid, anything 00:41:18.440 --> 00:41:22.380 happened. So yeah, I almost said live free or 00:41:22.380 --> 00:41:25.280 die hard. A good day to die hard. Zero to five 00:41:25.280 --> 00:41:31.539 on the geek meter for GCRN rating scale. I gotta 00:41:31.539 --> 00:41:35.119 give it a 3 out of 5. 3 out of 5 on our scale 00:41:35.119 --> 00:41:38.659 is like middle ground, I think, if I remember 00:41:38.659 --> 00:41:41.780 correctly. Let me go over here to the Geek Meter 00:41:41.780 --> 00:41:45.800 and check it out.

Hello, Julie, what the 00:51:15.449 --> 00:51:17.630 heck are you doing? Trying to make our spot sound 00:51:17.630 --> 00:51:20.630 more exciting by adding explosions. Yeah, I'm 00:51:20.630 --> 00:51:21.989 pretty sure you could have got the point across 00:51:21.989 --> 00:51:26.170 with sound effects, not the real thing.

I'm sure your insurance company will cover 00:51:32.429 --> 00:51:34.829 that. No, they won't. No, they probably won't. 00:51:35.170 --> 00:51:39.510 Have some respect for your father. Let me ask 00:51:39.510 --> 00:51:43.710 you something. You're looking for trouble, or 00:51:43.710 --> 00:51:49.269 does it always just seem to find you? You know, 00:51:49.369 --> 00:51:54.090 after all these years, I still ask myself the 00:51:54.090 --> 00:51:57.869 same question. All right, folks, we are back 00:51:57.869 --> 00:52:02.769 here inside Studio 2009, episode 145. Holy crap, 00:52:02.949 --> 00:52:07.650 145 episodes of this podcast. Dude, it's been... 00:52:07.650 --> 00:52:14.610 Damn. We started this in June of 2020. It's been 00:52:14.610 --> 00:52:19.010 five years, and we're at 145 episodes. We are 00:52:19.010 --> 00:52:25.150 55 episodes away from 200. And in episode 200, 00:52:25.409 --> 00:52:28.809 it's going to be the Dark Knight trilogy. So 00:52:28.809 --> 00:52:34.710 there is a teaser for you folks. But yes, in 00:52:34.710 --> 00:52:39.610 this episode, close out Christmas in July for 00:52:39.610 --> 00:52:43.730 Die Hard. We do have, unfortunately, some very 00:52:43.730 --> 00:52:52.230 sad news. Hulk Hogan has passed away. Man. Sadly. 00:52:53.400 --> 00:53:01.440 Yeah, I was like, wait, what? So here's something 00:53:01.440 --> 00:53:06.539 that I didn't think was going to be, like, I 00:53:06.539 --> 00:53:08.139 didn't think I was going to talk about this. 00:53:09.099 --> 00:53:17.679 I saw him when I was six years old. I was just 00:53:17.679 --> 00:53:21.860 at a wrestling match with my dad. I don't even 00:53:21.860 --> 00:53:26.199 know how close or how far away we were. It was 00:53:26.199 --> 00:53:31.920 May 3rd, 1986 at the Providence Civic Center 00:53:31.920 --> 00:53:35.719 in Providence, Rhode Island. At the time, I've 00:53:35.719 --> 00:53:37.380 mentioned this before, so this isn't revealing 00:53:37.380 --> 00:53:39.340 anything too personal or anything else because 00:53:39.340 --> 00:53:43.159 y 'all know me. I don't care. Whatever. My parents 00:53:43.159 --> 00:53:46.820 divorced when I was two in 1982, so my dad at 00:53:46.820 --> 00:53:48.599 the time was living in Providence, Rhode Island. 00:53:49.679 --> 00:53:53.980 I saw him and the late, great Junkyard Dog. Junkyard 00:53:53.980 --> 00:53:57.239 Dog, another wrestler who had passed away years 00:53:57.239 --> 00:54:01.599 and years ago now. They teamed up and faced off 00:54:01.599 --> 00:54:07.400 against Terry and Dory Funk. I was at that match 00:54:07.400 --> 00:54:12.260 with my dad. I saw Hulk Hogan and Junkyard Dog. 00:54:12.519 --> 00:54:20.250 It was just... I don't even, like, I just remember 00:54:20.250 --> 00:54:23.030 being there. I remember kind of seeing them. 00:54:24.690 --> 00:54:27.829 That's all I remember about it. I don't remember 00:54:27.829 --> 00:54:31.630 who did what to who. I don't remember. I'm obviously 00:54:31.630 --> 00:54:35.489 sure he said, hey, Hulkamaniacs, you know, let's 00:54:35.489 --> 00:54:38.789 Hulk out. You know, I'm sure he did all of his 00:54:38.789 --> 00:54:46.739 stuff. But, yeah, no. As of this recording. I'm 00:54:46.739 --> 00:54:48.420 going to get this episode out as fast as I can, 00:54:48.480 --> 00:54:53.179 folks. But as of this recording, unfortunately, 00:54:53.860 --> 00:55:00.739 Hulk Hogan has passed away, and it really, really 00:55:00.739 --> 00:55:09.699 sucks. It's like the end of... The middle of 00:55:09.699 --> 00:55:12.800 2025 is just like, we're going to take this person, 00:55:12.880 --> 00:55:13.900 we're going to take this person, we're going 00:55:13.900 --> 00:55:16.440 to take this person. And I'm like, really? Seriously? 00:55:18.360 --> 00:55:24.039 Yikes. Just yikes. He died of cardiac arrest. 00:55:24.460 --> 00:55:29.940 Oh, damn. But he was at his home in Clearwater, 00:55:30.099 --> 00:55:35.579 Florida. Died July 24, 2005. Wow, 2025, Mike. 00:55:35.659 --> 00:55:38.840 Come on, get it right. He was 71 years old. Emergency 00:55:38.840 --> 00:55:42.659 personnel responded to the scene, and he was 00:55:42.659 --> 00:55:44.739 transported from the residence by ambulance. 00:55:45.039 --> 00:55:49.639 But yeah, no. I just remember watching him all 00:55:49.639 --> 00:55:52.760 the time on TV and stuff. I would always root 00:55:52.760 --> 00:55:55.820 for him. I loved watching him versus Andre the 00:55:55.820 --> 00:55:59.380 Giant. It was always so fun. I think the most 00:55:59.380 --> 00:56:04.920 fun I had watching Hulk Hogan was... In the wrestling 00:56:04.920 --> 00:56:10.519 stuff was. Him versus Roddy Piper. Those matches 00:56:10.519 --> 00:56:14.659 were always so fun. And the best movie. Even 00:56:14.659 --> 00:56:17.360 though it's a cheesy as hell movie. And I might 00:56:17.360 --> 00:56:21.320 have to throw it into the schedule. Was I believe 00:56:21.320 --> 00:56:29.000 it's 1991. Suburban Commando. Oh my God. That 00:56:29.000 --> 00:56:33.559 movie is fun. That movie is so fun and so crazy 00:56:33.559 --> 00:56:36.659 and so silly and it shouldn't work, but it is 00:56:36.659 --> 00:56:42.780 so fun. So, yeah. Rest in peace, Hulk. Rest in 00:56:42.780 --> 00:56:47.440 peace. Oh, man. All right. Altered audio. What's 00:56:47.440 --> 00:56:51.019 this thing called? Altered audio. Something about 00:56:51.019 --> 00:56:55.440 demystifying the moronic things about podcasting 00:56:55.440 --> 00:57:00.329 that giant media wants to have you believe. So 00:57:00.329 --> 00:57:03.550 it's my new podcasting book coming out August 00:57:03.550 --> 00:57:07.650 8th on pretty much everywhere. It's going to 00:57:07.650 --> 00:57:09.989 be on Amazon.

We already 00:58:34.159 --> 00:58:36.739 recorded this stuff, folks, because originally 00:58:36.739 --> 00:58:41.039 I was going to have this as episode 141, so this 00:58:41.039 --> 00:58:43.940 has already been recorded. We are starting the 00:58:43.940 --> 00:58:47.780 Fast Saga, so we are going through all 11 films. 00:58:48.440 --> 00:58:50.619 Originally, it was supposed to be 11 episodes 00:58:50.619 --> 00:58:54.260 straight in a row. But between my medical issues 00:58:54.260 --> 00:58:56.840 and health and everything else, it's kind of 00:58:56.840 --> 00:59:00.260 been flimflammed, moved around. But we are starting 00:59:00.260 --> 00:59:04.679 with The Fast and the Furious from 2001. Going 00:59:04.679 --> 00:59:08.659 back and watching that movie, man, oh, just brought 00:59:08.659 --> 00:59:11.579 2001 right back into my brain. And I'm like, 00:59:11.599 --> 00:59:16.340 oh, my God, what a year 2001 was. So cool. For 00:59:16.340 --> 00:59:20.880 now, I am TF21 Mike with Steve Megatron.
