Any list of greatest summer blockbuster movies would have to include 1988's DIE HARD starring Bruce Willis. It's one of the few films of the genre that could perfectly balance explosions, gunfire and…
I say
yay for physical media regardless because you don't have to stream anything.
So back to Die Hard.
So this is about a year ago before we started the podcast.
It was probably right around now.
Where I was saying, you know, a lot of people consider Die Hard a Christmas movie, and you said you never saw it.
Because, you know, it's a summer blockbuster.
It came out in, I think, August or July of 88.
So, but it was perfect.
Mm-hmm.
And it's the...
Wait, no, it's not an anniversary.
That was our last movie.
It's almost 30.
No, it's almost 40 years old, but not
quite
there.
So that's 38 years ago that it came out.
Two years, it'll be 40 years.
Yeah, so I don't know.
I guess the question is, how did you go all these years without seeing Die Hard? I mean, obviously it's like a man's guy's movie, you know? I've never seen it.
Yeah, then again, you never saw Star Wars, so...
Yeah, I never saw it.
