About this listen

🎬 In the summer of '88, a "little" action movie snuck into LA's Avco Theatre and changed everything. Before Bruce Willis strapped on that famous undershirt, action heroes were all biceps and one-liners. But Die Hard? It threw the rulebook out of Nakatomi Plaza's 30th-floor window. What looked like just another "good guy vs. terrorists" flick turned into a cinematic earthquake that would shake Hollywood's foundation forever. Join us as we unpack how this "small" movie with a modest budget became the blueprint for modern action cinema and gave us something we didn't know we needed: a hero who actually bleeds.🎙️
