Hate Watching A Good Day to Die Hard
Ever find yourself shouting at the screen during an action flick because the characters' decisions defy all logic? Buckle up, as we, your audacious hosts Dan and Tony, peel back the layers of cinematic chaos in "A Good Day to Die Hard." We're not just here to poke fun at the excessive shaky cam or the monochromatic misery that plagues this film; we're dissecting the very core of what makes—or in this case, breaks—a Die Hard experience.
Strap in for an odyssey through Hollywood's questionable choices, as we traverse the evolution of John McClane from his literary origins to the big screen icon we've come to love (and sometimes sigh at). A carrot-wielding dancer turned violent thug? A courtroom hitman witness? We're unpacking these bizarre moments with the same gusto we reserve for a fresh bowl of popcorn. And don't worry, we're not letting the industry off the hook for the 2012-2015 blockbuster blues—we're calling out every facepalm-worthy moment along the way.
As the curtain falls on this action-packed critique, we shift gears and reflect on the lighter side of entertainment. From the anticipated curiosity of Jerry Seinfeld's "Pop-Tarts" project to the undying charm of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," we cover the landscape of comedy with the same fervor we reserve for taking down Hollywood's biggest blunders. Join us for an episode that promises as many laughs as it does facepalms—this is "Hey, Watch It with Dan and Tony," where no film is safe from our relentless review.
Be our friend!

Well, I'm 39 now, dan, so my body doesn't do a lot of things that it's supposed to do. Oh so, young, Young, yeah, but I'm an old 39. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Nubile.
Speaker 1:I mean, let's put money on it right now. I'm going to die before you do, without a doubt in my mind.
Speaker 2:You haven't seen my chart.
Speaker 1:No, they don't. They don't usually let friends see people's charts. It's on how it works.
Speaker 2:Are you pulling out your chart?
Speaker 1:right now. Is that what you just got your chart right there? Let's see.
Speaker 2:HTL. Welcome to Hate. Watching with Dan and Tony. I'm Dan, I'm Tony. This is the show that dares to watch movies from 2013 and then comment on them endlessly Comment, comment, comment, comment.
Speaker 1:I love commenting.
Speaker 2:Because nobody does that anymore People.
Speaker 1:We live. You know we live in a world where people keep to themselves. They don't like to give their opinions out on the internet. It's really weird. It's like the dark age is all over again.
Speaker 2:We are not afraid to say other people's work of art is shit and uh, in all fairness, so is mine. So I feel like it's.
Speaker 1:You know, if I'm glass houses and all that, my house is gone bro we?
Speaker 2:we just assume that the lack of interest in most of what we do is is pretty much the answer to everything. The commentary on what we do. We take that as our commentary. You know, we say bad things. No one says anything. There you go um and each week we pick a movie. And when we talk about the movie and tony, this week you picked one of your least favorite movies in the world, didn't you? I?
Speaker 1:did and I this wasn't even on my list because dan and I both have lists this wasn't even on the list. But last week I what did we watch last week? I don't know, but you mentioned die hard, and in the middle of the episode I made a switch, I made a pivot and I was like no, we should do die hard five. We gotta do die hard five, did we do? 47 ronin last week, or did we do something?
Speaker 1:else I don't know, don't know if that was last week. They all kind of blend together, if I'm being honest with it.
Speaker 2:I was thinking about things and I was like I was like wait, we did that movie, what, what? What did we think about that? You know some random movie I'm like oh, did we do that one? I think we did that.
Speaker 1:You know, it's at one point one of us will pick a movie we've already done and we'll be like we already did that we'll be well.
Speaker 2:I keep a list of all the movies we've done, so hopefully it won't be me, but it probably will be me. Let's, let's be free wait, did you?
Speaker 1:say what movie? A good day to die hard yippee-ki-yay mother russia.
Speaker 2:He never said tagline. He didn't say wait that was the tagline.
Speaker 1:That was the tag that's on the poster of the movie. Yippee-ki-yay mother russia and that's how. You already know the movie's gonna be terrible. Never said that, never said. No, of course not, absolutely not.
Speaker 2:Um so this movie, since I wrote down an hour and 33 I think it was an hour and 38, a very short movie.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's not a big difference, dan, that's five minutes 2013.
Speaker 2:Through the first half of this movie, I was thinking this was the worst movie we've ever done.
Speaker 1:What changed your mind? Just out of curiosity.
Speaker 2:There was one scene where there was acting.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay.
Speaker 2:And then the rest of the movie. The action scenes just weren't as bad as the first action scene.
Speaker 1:Sure, I mean when he does the truck out of the helicopter at least there's like a fun moment there, you know.
Speaker 2:There's a few. There are things that approximate a diehard movie in the second half of the movie.
Speaker 1:Sure, the first half there's nothing, there's zero.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, not even a little bit but they, they do a number of diehard adjacent things.
Speaker 1:They don't do it's too late, though it's way too late. I've already checked out you know.
Speaker 2:So I was thinking through my mind. You know, yeah, we've. We've done worse movies, we've done food fight, we've done strange magic.
Speaker 1:Oh my god, food fight dan. That was a fun one.
Speaker 2:Actually, food Fight was amazing, but it was just, it was a bad movie. Oh yeah, of course, of course, of course. I was just thinking of the animated ones, and we did Delgo, is that what that one was called?
Speaker 1:Yeah, but Delgo was pretty good. Freddie Prinze Jr brought that shit home.
Speaker 2:So we've done. You know Strange Magic. You know George Lucas' jukebox musical that was just so weird, so bad. Such a waste. At least, this is like if somebody came up to me and said, that movie, there was some serious action in that movie and John McClane, I liked it you'd be like, well, you're wrong.
Speaker 1:but but like I don't, I'm not going to punch you in the face.
Speaker 2:Yes, I hate the filmmakers in this, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1:Yeah, as you should, did you look them up at all?
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, okay, found some other movies that were definitely going to be doing a feature.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we've already done a couple of from the writer and the director, so it actually makes perfect sense that we're here right now.
Speaker 2:Yes, and I mean that's the thing about it. It is just when you think about 2012 to 2015. It's a tough time. They killed movies. They just made these movies, and I mean Hollywood deserves every bit of punishment that it's getting now for what happened in that span.
Speaker 1:Okay, I mean we're six years past that, though, ted, so I mean we should move on. Let's make good things again.
Speaker 2:Well, what I think happened was they were just making anything and just this garbage type of material. And then we went into the pandemic and then we come out of it, and you know Hollywood come out of it, and you know hollywood's reeling and you're like it's not any surprise, you guys. They set themselves up for for failure by having this giant time period of I mean I'm sure there's a ton of good movies from that period, but there are just so many.
Speaker 1:of course there are big budget stinkers, exactly, and there and we did we went into this excess where we were just making so many movies. They can't all be good. It's just not possible, right? No Law of averages. And we made a lot of bad movies for a while. And it's great. I really enjoy it.
Speaker 2:So what are your top thoughts on A Good Day to Die Hard?
Speaker 1:Ooh, top thoughts, okay. Thoughts on a good day to die hard. Oh, top thoughts, okay, how much? Uh, top thoughts are this, jai courtney, should not have been a thing, and we, holly, god, I did that firework thing again. Damn it, I don't know how to turn this off. Somebody out there that's younger than me and smarter than me tell me how to turn off this weird ai bullshit why am I a cat?
Speaker 2:I do not want to be a cat, I am a cat.
Speaker 1:That's the best thing that ever came out of the pandemic judge that poor guy.
Speaker 2:He's just like distraught that he's turned into a cat on his feet. Okay, um so, jay courtney jay courtney should not.
Speaker 1:Should not have been a thing. Hollywood tried to shove him down our throats uh, pretty hard for a while there. I don't know if you remember that, but we started with uh that tom cruise movie that now it's a tv show with uh reacher reacher yeah, he was the bad guy in one of the reacher movies he did this.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, he was the main bad guy versus tom Cruise.
Speaker 1:He wasn't the main bad guy, but he was the main muscle, so he was like the big fight at the end, but he wasn't the boss, if that makes sense. Yeah, but he was terrible in that he did this movie Suicide Squad, like they were really trying to make Jack oh Terminator. I mean they were pushing Jack Courtney hard. The guy listen, I'm sure he's a really nice guy he can't act, he just he can't. He was good as Boomerang, wasn't he? He was good as Boomerang. I'm curious if that's his natural accent. I didn't look him up whatsoever, but I do like his Boomerang. It's pretty fun. But he was terrible in all the rest of the things I just named. So there's just no chemistry between them. I re-watched all of the diehards this week. Every single one of them, yeah, and the first one he has the cop buddy from was that family matters is that what that is?
Speaker 2:yeah, I think so. Yeah, isn't it?
Speaker 1:great. They have a wonderful relationship. It's right, it it's fine. Okay, I mean, it's pretty good. The second one I don't. There isn't really a buddy-buddy element to the second one, I don't think.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's the airport one. That's the airport one, it's all right, it's fine.
Speaker 1:The third one is Samuel L Jackson. It's the best. Very silly and weird, yeah, but they're unbelievable. They're so fun to watch together, like they're electric. And then the fourth one is Justin Long, which is very fun. Who is Justin Long in that movie? He's a computer hacker and the plot is all about them hacking you know, hack the planet kind of type of deal. And then John McClane's just like an old dog, dinosaur, doesn't understand technology, what the hell's all this stuff. And then you know so justin long's trying to help him understand that. It's a fun dynamic because you know it plays on. He's getting older but he's still cool as fuck. You know what I mean. And and then you get to this movie. It's just like the whole relationship is terrible and it's his son and they're the least compatible people on screen that you've had in 20 years.
Speaker 2:So well the problem with it basically. Basically, what happens in the movie is um, there's two bad russians that are feuding. Uh uh, john mclean jr is in russia and he's there to somehow extricate one of the Russians that has a secret file. And then McClane goes there and then they sort of break the break. Then, as he's trying to break out this one Russian, they sort of have to team up to do that and just kill everybody, I guess.
Speaker 2:And so the two of them are are you know you're a shit dad and you're like you're a shit kid, and um, then they have to, like you know, find their their adult relationship which they don't really do other than, apparently, their adult relationship is murdering people.
Speaker 1:That's like, that's their one in co-interest that they have together, which we'll talk about the line that that delivers that.
Speaker 2:But but the point being is you got to set that up sure instead. Instead, we sort of try to start playing that out on, you know, as we'll talk about later on on the street. Yeah, day one, you know we don't have any setup and so when things are, you know we understand what they're trying to do, because it's the easiest thing to do.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we've done it a million times in Hollywood. Like we understand it, it's. You know, we all have daddy issues. Let's be real, so we get it. Yeah, so there's a so we get it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so there's a shorthand to it, but you got to give us a little something.
Speaker 1:And what's interesting, since I watched all the Diehards Diehard 4, live Free or Diehard does this better with his daughter Lucy. Sure, the first time we see Lucy, she's in a car with a boy and they're canoodling. The first time we see Lucy, she's in a car with a boy and they're canoodling. And then John's just outside the car and he basically takes the guy out of the car and he's like get out of here. And she's like I can't believe. And they have this nice little argument. And then we don't see Lucy again for like 30 to 45 minutes in the movie and she comes back with daddy issues and you're like, yeah, I'm there.
Speaker 1:You set it up, you're delivering it now, and it's wonderful. Yeah, and they just they couldn't figure that shit out. Are you kidding me? Give us a phone call.
Speaker 2:Give us something give us something, anything so that we, when we, when we do these two, do meet each other. It's not just like hey, by the way, I just hate you and I hate you, and I don't even know why this is happening. You know you're like oh okay, Indeed.
Speaker 2:So we start 20th Century Fox TV. Yuri, our billionaire, is going on trial, and then so he's. Yuri is Yuri Komarov is a billionaire and he's in jail by the defense minister whose name I don't know. If I ever caught very hard to tell any of these characters apart this yeah, there's a. There's a michael bay sheen of oh the teals in the orange.
Speaker 1:It's so ugly it's. It's, uh, very swordfish. Remember swordfish also had these strong colors and guess what?
Speaker 2:there's a question do you, did we do swordfish? We, yeah, we did swordfish. Oh yeah, because she's. She's wearing the wire and naked. That was the only thing I remember that is correct. Yeah, that is yeah, well, there's only one scene worth watching in that movie, and that is Naked Halle.
Speaker 1:Berry, I would watch Swordfish a hundred times over before I watch this movie again.
Speaker 2:Oh, I completely agree yeah.
Speaker 1:Swordfish is fun and stupid and terrible, but this movie's not fun for me.
Speaker 2:Well, there were things happening in Swordfish. They were dumb and they didn't make a lot of sense.
Speaker 1:Yeah, john Travolta, driving in a car, pulls out a rocket launcher at one point. I don't know.
Speaker 2:It's pretty awesome yeah, they're like having a dinner. You know they're having lunch in the diner and they go out and do things.
Speaker 1:This movie just has this murk on it the entire time that they never get out of no, no and some classic classic shaky cam. Oh boy, is it good On some really dull conversations, oh really. Oh my God, it's like the conversation, one of the ones between Jack Courtney and Bruce Willis they're just talking and the camera's moving, like we're running through the Amazon or something. I was like. I feel like they were watching this and they were so bored themselves that the director was just like just move the camera. I, I just need something to happen. I can't watch this anymore.
Speaker 2:I remember turning on, I think it's michael bay's domino oh sure, domino, I remember domino and it was just so hard to watch. I was just like I, I can't get through what they're doing. You, you know, it's like just shoot the movie, you know, if you want.
Speaker 1:No, don't do that. If you want someone to just shoot a movie, don't hire me. You know what I'm saying. Like you know what you're getting when you hire me to do a movie.
Speaker 2:And, for the record, Michael Bay's Ambul's ambulance top notch, okay, well, so he billionaire yuri, versus the defense minister. He's sitting in there playing chess and the defense minister's like give me the file, give me the file, give me the file. So we're like, oh, there's the mcguffin, there's a file that is going to have to be dealt with um, that's funny.
Speaker 1:Um, what is the file?
Speaker 2:I, it's a let me just tell you right now.
Speaker 1:Dan, I was super confused on the plot of this movie, the first half of this movie. I had no idea what was going on. Okay, so you caught up eventually. I fell asleep last night watching it in the third act and had to re-watch the third act this morning because I was. I was so, so tired of it.
Speaker 2:I usually know what's going on pretty well. This movie I was just like I it. It was just the staging of everything was just baffling and yeah yeah, didn't make any sense. And they, they, yeah, so who knows? All right, cool. So the defense minister's like I own everybody, and then Yuri's like not me. You're like oh, yuri, okay, yuri.
Speaker 1:Yuri, Yuri, Yuri.
Speaker 2:all right, Okay, the CIA calls up their agent, call up our agent.
Speaker 1:Now we have a girl in Moscowow which is probably what they said, because some of the things that they say are not what the cia would say yeah, like cole hauser's in there somewhere too, right? Yep, he sure is. I don't know never really plays a role.
Speaker 2:I mean, maybe was he in the safe house. Was he in the safe house, got killed, or is he?
Speaker 1:just back home in the us. No, yeah, I think I think he was.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know so we have, we have jai courtney in a van and then we have a hot girl in a motorcycle and I think the hot girl goes to see the defense minister and we think that she's a prostitute to do something, but instead she just sort of sidles up to him.
Speaker 1:I think yeah yeah, yeah, and let me just did you watch the trailer before you watched this movie? Oh, okay, I re-watched the trailer and the scene where she unzips at the motorcycle yeah, is in the trailer, dan, which is wild because she is a pretty that scene is, that's the whole scene. Like all she does is undress and then walks away like it doesn't have any bearing on this movie whatsoever, and that's how bad this movie is. That the guy who cut the trailer was like that's one of the only interesting things that happened in this whole movie.
Speaker 2:I gotta put it in the trailer. It's a. It's as sexy as this movie ever gets. It is the top of the top.
Speaker 1:This movie is pretty sexless, which is why you can. It's hard to have a movie with Bruce Willis, in my opinion, with Bruce Willis without sex appeal, and they do a pretty good job.
Speaker 2:So I think what we're supposed to be thinking is and so then Jai Courtney drives a vehicle to the club and then he goes in there and he picks up a gun. Then he goes in there and he shoots some person who we don't know who it is yeah, and then he gets and he says somebody says, hello, I did, was it?
Speaker 2:I don't remember who, I don't know, I don't know so he shoots a dude, and then he's immediately caught and so I think what we're supposed to think from this is that the girl in black is the cia agent oh sure, no, I mean, this makes sense, yeah, and he's the bad, the bad guy, he's the bad guy? I don't know yeah I did. I don't know if I even clocked that he was jay courtney and that he was going to be the kid.
Speaker 1:I don't. There's nothing that's not your fault. I'm just going to tell you that, right now, that's not your fault at all.
Speaker 2:So, boom, john McClane's back at the shooting range and then a guy comes in there and I think he said this is what I wrote down as him saying we found him. It's not good. And then he goes on to explain that he's in a moscow prison for an unknowable charge?
Speaker 1:why is john mcclain looking for his kid? Ah, great question that's a good, it's a. It's a good, it's a good question, dan. Uh, one without an answer, I guess just because it's been a while since they talked.
Speaker 2:You know, he doesn't, because he says in this conversation he's like yeah, it's been a while since they talked you know he doesn't, because he says in this conversation.
Speaker 1:he's like yeah, it's been years, you know, so about three years probably.
Speaker 2:As opposed to this guy walking in and say, oh my God, we just got this, just came on, the your son's in jail, your son's in jail. He'd be like what.
Speaker 1:Yep, hey, a revelation that's great. But instead he's there's no emotion in this scene, by the way, so instead he's-. It's very weird.
Speaker 2:He's looking for his kid that he's never looked for, for no reason. And the kid's in prison in Moscow and then he's like guess I gotta go solve this.
Speaker 1:Guess I gotta go get him out of jail. I don't even. I don't even understand.
Speaker 2:I don't know where he's going or why really in russia you're like yeah yeah, are you just gonna go post bail?
Speaker 2:I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, man um, boom, he goes to jfk, he has the daughter, he and the daughter have this really weird scene in the car. That was just one of the weirdest scenes I've ever seen, where where you're kind of we all know what happened to Bruce Willis. He's got some very serious issues and I was like man, was this one of the movies that they made when he had serious issues and he he couldn't act and do stuff and they were just you know, and I don't know if it was the beginning of that or but this scene really felt like you were not getting a bruce willis that is your, your bruce willis you want.
Speaker 2:And I was like, oh dear, if that's the whole movie, oh, dear, oh dear.
Speaker 1:It's going to be pretty worrisome, sure, yeah, but it's not, though, so that you know what I mean like in the second half of the movie you have real bruce willis, but in the first half of the movie you do not man.
Speaker 1:I mean I agree with you. 100. That's weird, I don't know. Yeah, I wonder what order they shot those in. You know, are these like phil did? They shoot everything in the russia stuff first and then they went back and were like, well, we don't have a beginning to this movie, why is john in russia? So then maybe they just shot that in a day, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, him on the shooting range seemed okay, but him with the daughter in the car just seemed like. You know, the people doing this do not understand how to do movie. Just general idea of movie.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know, it's weird. There's like a line in this car where he's like I just really thought that he'd get his life together or something, and I feel like there's a difference between getting your life together and being in a russian prison like that's not really like, ah, he just can't get it together. Now he's in a r prison, like this is a bigger deal than that. I don't know, it's very weird, russian prison.
Speaker 2:If you're going to go to Russia to try and get your weird kid out of prison, you better do some research first.
Speaker 1:It's the bare minimum. I'm just going to get a quick flight over to Russia. Just talk to a judge, get him out, it'll be fine yeah. I don't think so, guy. That's not how that works.
Speaker 2:Seems really weird. So she gets the idiot travels guide and then she's like try not to make a mess. You're like okay. And then when he's on the plane he pulls out his kid's file.
Speaker 1:Yep.
Speaker 2:Like what is that?
Speaker 1:That's top secret confidential file that somehow doesn't mention he's a spy. I don't know.
Speaker 2:Like it doesn't make any sense. What is this? What is this file Like? Does it give him any information that he uses later on in the movie?
Speaker 1:No no.
Speaker 2:What is?
Speaker 1:I have no idea.
Speaker 2:It's his. I don't know New York City. You know Arrest report, you know. I mean, I didn't think about it.
Speaker 1:You know from Russia.
Speaker 2:You don't think about these things During the movie Because you expect that they're doing them For movie reasons. Yeah, you know You'll have some movie understanding as things go by, but when you think back, you don't understand anything.
Speaker 1:I have no movie, this is even me, Well, you know. They just called up Russia and were like hey, can you fax over this arrest report for me please? And then they did it, Because you know, precincts like to work together, that's true, I've seen that movie.
Speaker 2:What is that movie? There's a movie about that, is there really? Well, there's Gorky Park.
Speaker 1:Gorky Park? That's not. There's no way. That's a movie. Is that a?
Speaker 2:movie yeah, there's a real, there's a real Gorky.
Speaker 1:Park is a big, important park. That's in Moscow 1983. Gorky Park Heard, heard, William Hurt, william Hurt. Yep, I thought maybe you were thinking of Corky Romano. Yeah, that's what I was thinking of.
Speaker 2:So boom. So he reads the file we cut back to Russia. Here's Jay Courtney. He's in trouble and he's all like. Here's what I'm going to do for you. I'm going to testify against Yuri, for you defense minister and then you'll get everything you want. And the defense minister is like man. Why? Didn't I think of that, let's do that, let's do it.
Speaker 1:That sounds fun. Let's give that a shot.
Speaker 2:He controls everyone in the court, but he needs to bring in random American hitman witness.
Speaker 1:Do they know he's American? I don't even know. I have no idea.
Speaker 2:I don't know I don't know how he would have gotten that interview.
Speaker 1:I don't know any of these things do you think maybe he was lying about owning everyone in the courtroom? No, he was telling the truth. I thought so too, because the other guy was pretty sure that he's like yeah, but you don't own me. Yeah, I don't know man. Yeah, I got no idea, no idea. It's a good day to die hard, though. Let's go.
Speaker 2:Okay, he takes the taxi. He's got a plan on it. Oh, he has a piece of paper that has his plan on it. I wrote that down. He had a piece of paper that has a plan.
Speaker 1:Wait, I wrote that down. Wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 2:Are you saying he wrote like a checklist down? I don't remember that. I wrote that down. He's got a plan on a piece of paper. He tries to talk Russian.
Speaker 1:Now that part I remember. I thought that was pretty fun.
Speaker 2:The Russian guy you know thinks that he wants sexy time. He's like oh yeah, let me get you sexy time. That's funny.
Speaker 1:Which is funny, no, I, he wants sexy time. He's like oh yeah, let me get you sexy time. That's funny. It's funny, no, I. I enjoyed this conversation. I thought that maybe this guy was gonna play a more important part in the movie, like kind of become his chauffeur around town and kind of help out solve the crime, but he doesn't come back. I don't know if you noticed that then he has to, has to come back, you've set up this guy.
Speaker 2:And at one point they're like we're going to need a ride.
Speaker 1:You're like oh, and then they just go steal a car instead. Really, are you sure? Because you have a great ride with a wonderful guy here you?
Speaker 2:got a weird guy. You set up a weird bit where he does American singing. That's obnoxious. You're like, oh, we're going to get real tired of that.
Speaker 1:It turns out.
Speaker 2:you don't, you kind of miss it which is weird, so he says he's in from New York City. Cappy sings Sinatra, which is funny.
Speaker 1:I don't know if you got this reference, because originally Die Hard the first one was adapted from a book, right, which is the sequel to the Detective, which was turned into a movie with Frank Sinatra, and Sinatra was originally going to do Die Hard, which wasn't Die Hard at the time Because it was the same character, Leland, something Leland but then Sinatra didn't do it and went through a bunch of rewrites and then we got Die Hard, which was much better. So it was like a nod to Sinatra, a little tip of the cap.
Speaker 2:The character in the Detective played by Frank Sinatra is his name John McClane.
Speaker 1:No, so it's Leland. The character is actually something Leland or Leland, I don't know something like that. I did read the book years ago and it's horribly depressing. By the way, the book the Die Hard is based off of oh okay, so it's a different character, and then they just changed. They changed all of it, but they kept the general premise of the book, which is Nakatomi Tower. I don't think it's Nakatomi Tower in the book now that I think about it, but anyhow, now that I think about it, but anyhow, sure. So it was originally a sinatra thing and then that fell apart.
Speaker 2:But okay, that's interesting. It was a cute little nod, I thought yeah, which is lost on anyone that doesn't know all that random information not only that, like it's not, it's, it's not necessary.
Speaker 1:But you know, it's great. It doesn't earn it. This movie doesn't earn the diehard you know. But it's whatever. Whatever, it's fine.
Speaker 2:So they're stuck in traffic, and then we learn that this one route in Russia is always jammed like this and he's like you can just get out and walk the rest of the way, even though they've been sitting there, which he could have said five minutes earlier.
Speaker 1:Right, because they're not at the beginning of traffic, mind you, traffic is also behind them, so they've been in this traffic for a bit and then, as he gets out, other people are randomly just getting out of abandoning their cars. I don't know if that's a thing maybe this is a thing that we don't know that actually happens in russia, that people just ditch their cars and walk away everybody, everybody just leaves, and so that's.
Speaker 2:This whole thing is literally a parking lot forever yeah, maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1:Uh, it was super weird. But even weirder is the taxi driver is like no, don't pay me. Okay, you don't need to pay me. You, you let me sing. No, pay what. What are you talking? This is this man's job. You gotta pay the man. I don't know. It's weird. They don't know. It's weird. They don't know this movie doesn't even know how regular jobs work. It's weird.
Speaker 2:Super weird. So now we cut back, we're taking Yuri to the courthouse and then I believe McClane is standing there and watches them march him into the courthouse. I think he's standing there watching.
Speaker 1:He's just on the street.
Speaker 2:Yep, they get him inside, they put him in the box. Then there's these three cars driving around, okay, these three cars that we've watched driving around. Then inside the courthouse, the three cars, okay. So the three cars pull up, courtney's in one box, yuri's in the other box. These three cars park off, and then somebody in the car is talking. But then we sort of figure out it's not somebody in the car, it's somebody in this other vehicle, which is a sort of armored vehicle which John McClane clocks. He's like oh, look at this unusual vehicle.
Speaker 1:He's the world's best detective.
Speaker 2:Doesn't do anything, doesn't ever use any of this information.
Speaker 1:He's on vacation, Dan. Oh yeah, he yells that a bunch of times early on. Why would he yell that a bunch of times? He's not on vacation. He's here to get his son out of jail. That's not vacation. I don't understand why he keeps telling everyone he's on vacation through the whole movie. He's not on vacation. If he was on vacation, this would be a better movie. If he was just on vacation and a plot stumbled upon him like it does in all of the other movies, that's great. That is not what happens. But he keeps telling people that's what happens.
Speaker 2:So I'm wondering if Bruce Willis had a different movie in his mind. That's what should have happened. That's what should have happened.
Speaker 1:That's 100% what should happen. He should be on vacation and then bad shit happens and he has to save the day, you know, in Russia, way out of his jurisdiction. Oh, what are you doing here, American cowboy? You know, like that sort of shit Hold on.
Speaker 2:He's there on vacation with his daughter. He hears about his son getting arrested. He goes down to the courthouse and then he's standing outside, they don't let him in the courthouse, and then he clocks all this stuff going on and then he starts taking action and then he's in the plot. Yep, that's wait, that's the movie. And then we could find out that lucy really brought him on vacation there because she's because she already knew she knew that he was there and we're like, oh my God, that makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 1:Wonderful stuff, dan Wait. If we yeah, there you go. There's the, there's the movie.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry, but I'm sorry how hard is it to write this book.
Speaker 1:It's not hard. Apparently it's really hard. This is the first diehard movie in the franchise that was specifically written as a diehard movie. It's the only one that isn't based on other material or written for something else first. Oh really, how weird. Yes, this is the most diehard diehard movie we have, and it's horrible.
Speaker 1:It's the least diehard movie and it was written originally as a diehard movie. One and two are based off of books. Three was a spec script called Simon Says that was first bought to be a lethal weapon movie. Then they scrapped it and then Fox bought it and rewrote it to be a diehard movie. Four is actually based on a freaking uh, an article that was written, uh, and then it was turned into a movie, a script called ww3.com, which I kind of want to see that movie, by the way, that's a great title. And then this was the first one. Ground floor up is all diehard and it's the least diehard movie we get.
Speaker 2:It's really sad well, I think that's that's the most telling thing is because the john mcclain character is what makes him. It makes the movie interesting yes, and and when you, when you write a diehard movie that's trying to be a diehard movie, you're doing diehard stuff and you don't think about john mcclain.
Speaker 1:It's which is bizarre there's nothing that's super weird, there's not a lot left, yeah, okay so the courthouse.
Speaker 2:So the three cars drive around, they park out back of the thing and then the bad guy pushes the button and blows them up, killing everybody in the cars without them knowing it. Yeah, okay, brutal stuff so this is when the movie stops making any sense.
Speaker 1:It made sense to you up to now, okay, well, I mean this whole section makes no sense.
Speaker 2:Okay, the bad guys get out of the armored vehicle and go inside there to get Yuri, but somehow Jai Courtney gets Yuri and gets him out and just walks out, just walks out with him.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I have no idea. There's only one hole.
Speaker 2:There's only one hole. One hole. They're coming in, they're going out. Somehow they don't interact with each other.
Speaker 1:Maybe they didn't have pictures, so maybe, as they were going out, they're just like afternoon doctor, doctor, doctor, you know what I mean. And then they just went about their day and they're like wait, a second, was that?
Speaker 2:him. Now this guy Courtney and the Yuri, they climb out the hole, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, for sure, okay, so, so they get in a blue van and start driving away and boom, their John McClane's blocks them and gets in their way. How long did he mess up their plan? Apparently a long time.
Speaker 1:Hold on. I think it was about 45 seconds to a minute maybe. Yeah, how long did you clock it? No, I didn't clock it.
Speaker 2:This amount of time supposedly ruins their escape plan.
Speaker 1:It blew the whole mission. That's what he keeps saying I blew the mission, which is hilarious.
Speaker 2:He let's see, Okay, this is when it gets insane Okay. I feel like I'm watching your brain explode a little right now kamarov gets out, yuri gets out of the van and basically is like this to the bad guys that want to kill him yep, and so they're all like we wouldn't have known you got out, but there you, we see you now there he is so then he gets back in and then, jack Jack Courtney points a gun at his dad and is like Get lost, Dad, you big fucker. I hate you.
Speaker 1:You big fucker. Yeah, and Bruce is like You're going to shoot your own dad. No, no, he's not. What's happening. None of this makes any sense. So then?
Speaker 2:they leave and John's like what are you doing? You're leaving me behind.
Speaker 1:I'm your dad, jack Jack. What are you doing, jack? He says Jack a lot.
Speaker 2:So he, then McClane, goes and gets a truck. So basically we've got blue truck monster truck with guns. Then we have John McClane in another truck which he stole. Jack Courtney calls in and we find out that he's working for the Americans, he's an American agent, and that 45 seconds or minute and a half no more than 90 seconds, I would say that they interacted has somehow blown their escape. And their escape is an unmanned drone that's flying over Moscow. Which? How did it get in there and what's it supposed to do?
Speaker 1:Maybe they just grab onto the wings and then it flies them out.
Speaker 2:It's literally the most insane thing ever.
Speaker 1:I don't understand it. I still don't.
Speaker 2:I don't know. So then we set up that there's a safe house to go to.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, safe house, plan B, safe house, which sounds like a good plan B, to be honest with you. Sure, I mean, it's a safe house, safe house.
Speaker 2:Safe. Then there's a chase.
Speaker 1:Oh boy, is there a chase, dan Like it's a big one.
Speaker 2:It's long.
Speaker 1:Yes, it's very long.
Speaker 2:The vehicles in the chase don't interact with each other. They just interact with other random vehicles that are in their way, and I don't.
Speaker 1:I'll be honest. Are there more numbers?
Speaker 2:No just that it's three vehicles that are driving that barely interact.
Speaker 1:They're never in the same scene together or shot. I guess Rarely do they share the same shot. It doesn't make any sense. And I have. No, I don't know the geography, I don't know where anyone is in relation to each other. Sometimes I forget who's in which vehicle and things are just vehicles are just hitting other vehicles and it doesn't make any sense whatsoever. And then john flips over 19 times, walks out, gets a different car and then flips over in that car. Is that what?
Speaker 2:happens at one point. The guys, the bad guys, which are sort of in the middle, you know the this yeah, you're in, you're in sunny you're in front john mcclain's, in the middle. You're in Sonny, you're in front and John McClane's in the back. At one point. They get mad at him and I guess they shoot him. They shoot his truck or ram his truck or throw his truck off a bridge or whatever, and they're like now he'll stop bothering us and you're like he's done nothing to them.
Speaker 1:As far as I can tell, they don't even know he exists.
Speaker 2:Yes, they don't even know. He's there as far as I know, because he hasn't.
Speaker 1:He rams them later, I think, but he's never like ramming them while they're doing something the second time to be like I'm back, guys, what's up? And then that's the end of the chases.
Speaker 2:he he in like an suv and they had this fucking war wagon yeah.
Speaker 1:War wagon.
Speaker 2:Does he push them off the road and?
Speaker 1:destroy them. Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2:This little SUV, but he also tumbles, but he destroys them.
Speaker 1:Oh, big time. Yeah, well, he's Sean McClane.
Speaker 2:He's a superhero. He doesn't do anything special. It's just like his vehicle's stronger than their vehicle.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, if you just ran them at the right angle, it immediately destroys him. You just don't. You don't know anything about war wagons, Dan. That's your, that's your problem.
Speaker 2:So Sonny's, like you know, gonna escape. And then he's like damn you, john. And then he's like damn you, john. He turns around and goes, picks up his dad. Sweet, what a sweet moment you got to do that, and then they yell at each other a bunch. They just like are in the cabin All the time.
Speaker 1:Just yelling at each other and it's not fun. Clever, witty quips, which is what John McClane is Like. He's a sarcastic asshole, sure, but he's is. He's a sarcastic asshole, sure, but he's smart, he's clever and funny. Where is that? It's nowhere to be found. They're just like wah wah, you're a bad dad, Wah wah, you were a bad son. Okay, I don't care about any of this.
Speaker 2:So somehow in this city that's controlled by this defense minister, they're able to drive this vehicle just wherever they need to go and park it.
Speaker 1:Yeah just straight in.
Speaker 2:And get out and get into the safe house and then they're safe in the safe house. Yeah, pretty much. Now John McClane could talk about like you're a spy. We thought you were a drug addict, we thought you did drugs. You're a dirty, dirty drug addict. You're just like what is this? He's a drug addict, it's weird why?
Speaker 2:would you accuse your your childhood you've not seen of being a drug addict, like that's not what you accuse your son of being. It's like your mother missed you. You never called on anyone's birthdays. You're an. You're an asshole for doing asshole stuff. A drug addict. I don't, what does that even mean?
Speaker 1:I don't know and I'm curious. So the whole thing about the beginning is like he's like oh, I just wish he would have gotten his life together. You know he's had a lot of problems. How do you become a spy, dan? They never tell us that, are you sure?
Speaker 2:Oh, do they say. Do they say I went to Northwestern and then I became a spy.
Speaker 1:Oh you mean in this movie, yeah, sorry. Yeah, I mean in real life.
Speaker 2:I honestly am asking how does one become a spy?
Speaker 1:You don't just get picked up off the street, right? No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2:They recruited the big schools, absolutely.
Speaker 1:The CIA and the FBI absolutely recruited the big schools for people that are doing things that you know. If you're like, yeah, if you're like doing like multiple languages things, they will, they will try and recruit you sure. Oh, linguistics big, yeah.
Speaker 2:So he had to have his life somewhat together to become a spy is the way that I feel right so this?
Speaker 1:it's a weird dichotomy between john being like well, you're a real piece of shit, I can't believe you're a spy now. And he's so weird, I don't feel like that can come up. You could be surprised. He's a spy, sure, but not because he's a trash bird.
Speaker 2:You know he should have been in law enforcement. He's like. You left law enforcement to be a piece of shit spy. Exactly there you go.
Speaker 1:He's like the spies. Does you left law?
Speaker 2:enforcement to be a piece of shit spy. Exactly there you go. He's like the spies you know, does this and this and this, but I mean that's because they haven't made him a character. There's nothing for him to do, there's literally nothing for him to do except be a daddy issue.
Speaker 1:And then I also have problems with the daddy issue, because he is also know, uh, a law enforcement in a, in a way, right, and he hasn't spoken to his family in like three years, apparently because he's been undercover. Oh, is that what? It's three years he's been undercover three years I thought I never clocked that, but that makes my question so then how does he not understand his dad working all the time as a cop if he is now doing the same? Yeah, it's all. None of it makes sense to me.
Speaker 2:I don't know, I don't like it well, one of them has to be, one of them has to be different than this. They're both being, they're both playing the same part exactly. Yes, a hundred percent yes you know he should be like. He shouldn't be the angry one, he should be like Dad. You weren't there, I had to find my way.
Speaker 1:See that's nice. Then we can have some like nice moments and then also in between like a sweet moment, and then shooting a guy in the fucking head and then coming back and being like, yeah, sweet moment, you know that's fun. You mean, it's almost like you'd have levels.
Speaker 2:The levels would be nice instead of just blow shit up all the time. And that's the thing you know. It's like. You like the stupid relationship with the cop that John has on the radio?
Speaker 1:Yeah, whoa whoa, whoa, whoa. You just called that stupid. How dare you? You take that back right now. That is such a beautiful relationship, oh my god it's like tony's dream relationship.
Speaker 2:Hey, I'm rooting for you, john. Yeah, tony, tony's like, yeah, somebody, somebody out there cares about me. It's not like yes not like that good, so that just treats me like shit I can't believe.
Speaker 1:You don't like that. It's such a beautiful thing. And then he calls him in the second one oh, it's so beautiful, dan. How dare you? You're a heartless bastard sometimes. You know that. Very true, very true, unbelievable.
Speaker 2:Okay so the safe house. Okay so Yuri's like. I got to call my daughter. You got to call my daughter you got to save my daughter too, and then he's like daughter, we shall meet at the place where we once had a thing, and that's also what. So, basically, the daughter's gonna meet him at the place where he's hidden this magic key that's gonna get him to the file did you put together? That she was gonna meet them at the same place, that the key was hidden?
Speaker 1:I didn't even realize there was a key, really like he kept I. When he said I found it, I was like oh, he's got the file. And then he was like key, and I was, I got. I'm telling you, man, I was super confused. As simplistic as this plot is, it is somehow very confusing because they barely talk about it. Yeah, like there's just a couple lines in between huge action, set pieces that like tell me what's going on and I can't follow it.
Speaker 2:I don't pay that close attention, yeah so there's the daughter and the key are going to this place and boom, they get attacked oh yeah big time and everybody except our three main characters get shots. Uh, yuri gets shot and at one point we think he's bleeding out, and then one one of the characters like we got to Everybody except our three main characters get shot.
Speaker 1:Yuri gets shot. Yeah, apparently At one point we think he's bleeding out.
Speaker 2:And then one of the characters is like we got to take him to the doctor and then they're like, nah, he'll be fine. And by the end of the movie, he's stronger than ever, unaffected by this hole in him that the one character thinks is going to kill him.
Speaker 1:But the other one thought it wouldn't. So you know that's doctoring right there. Right, you always need a second opinion, dan.
Speaker 2:So they get attacked. People shot in the head, shot, shot, shot.
Speaker 1:John McClane just picks up a machine gun and slams it and just blasts away and then Jack Courtney hits the button and the whole building explodes, killing everybody on the outside.
Speaker 2:And then once again they just make a magic walk off, just kind of walk away. It's nice. Um, he destroys john's phone. How did the bad guys know to go there?
Speaker 1:uh, well, I think, uh, gps, they were gpsing his phone.
Speaker 2:Low jack in his phone I mean, we're gonna find out that yuri's like sort of actually in control of all this.
Speaker 1:So maybe, yeah, maybe, he clued them in, but yeah, maybe I don't know, it doesn't make a lot of sense it wouldn't have gotten him anything extra.
Speaker 2:So who knows, yeah, they, because he doesn't have the key yet.
Speaker 1:So like I don't know, I don't know Because the whole the plan is to get him to the key.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then have the bad guys take him with the key to the place. Yeah. So, I understand cluing in the bad guys to the key place, but I don't understand cluing in the bad guys to this place.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I got nothing.
Speaker 1:Well, they needed more guns, More guns, guns, guns, guns.
Speaker 2:But this scene also terribly uninteresting and zero level of excitement. Yeah, yeah, horrible, yeah big time. So they go to this construction.
Speaker 1:Well wait, you skipped over my favorite line of the movie Giant Courtney destroys the phone and McClane goes. I got a two-year contract on that thing. There you go. That was like the most McClane thing that happens in the first half of the movie. He has one witty comment and that's it.
Speaker 2:There was like one other part where he made a bunch of little quick witty comments.
Speaker 1:Well, I didn't write it down, so it couldn't have been that good. He does some James Bond jokes.
Speaker 2:Oh sure, who's this Oddjob? Good reference back to Goldfinger.
Speaker 1:So more like dad jokes.
Speaker 2:you mean Now, when they make a Goldfinger, an Oddjob joke, do you get that joke at all?
Speaker 1:Do you laugh? Well, I get it, because I was obsessed with Bond, but my wife did not. She's just like what does that mean? What's odd job? I don't understand. Well, they threw a hat and we loved it as kids. It's still cool. Man Don't pretend, it's not still cool.
Speaker 2:It's pretty good. So, boom, they're at this construction site, which is, I think, looking towards the thing. Jack Courtney's like let me go do something which will give you and Yuri time. And Yuri's like, oh, we have a saying in Russia, blah, blah, blah, blah. And what that saying is is your son is super strong and cool.
Speaker 1:And you're just like wait, I thought you were going to say something that made some amount of sense, but it's literally the most senseless comment ever. That's your mistake, Dad. No one's going to say something that makes sense in this movie Never.
Speaker 2:So then they go to the ballroom. Here comes the daughter. This is the hot girl from earlier. Wait, no, no hold on.
Speaker 1:We're moving on from that conversation. This is like the turning point of the movie somehow. Conversation. This is like the turning point of the movie somehow, because bruce and yuri are having a conversation about the kids and I was working all the time. And then all john said jai starts listening. Right, he comes back and he's listening. This is like the first moment, apparently, that he starts understanding his dad. Okay, and all mclean says is know, I just thought working all the time was better, you know.
Speaker 2:Than raising his kids.
Speaker 1:That's what he says that's the sentence in Jack Courtney. And then you cut to Jack Courtney. He's like, oh, I get it. Now what. I just thought working all the time was better. And he's like, oh no, I get that. Dad, you're right, it is better. So stupid. I don't even understand what's happening. Just the basic building blocks of this relationship are totally missing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so they go up there here's the, here's the daughter, and instant she's crying. And then john's like this smells like a setup, how'd you get here so quick? And then she says I use the road. But that's, I use the road. The garden you can't use and he's all like oh now wouldn't she know that?
Speaker 1:like because? So because here's the thing. The taxi driver makes it seem like everybody in russia knows that this street is bad everyone why would she then say there's only one bad street in Russia from what I can tell, and she names that one. That doesn't make John, as an American, shouldn't know more about Russia than the Russian people. Yeah, that doesn't make sense.
Speaker 2:It's like the one piece of information he's gleaned is the one piece of information. Yeah, but that's movie making and that's just this movie being lazy and dopey.
Speaker 1:Well, yes, and it is all of those things and it bothers me, it's pretty terrible.
Speaker 2:So boom In come all the bad guys. The one bad guy what's he eating, tony A?
Speaker 1:fucking carrot Like a whole raw carrot like Bugs Bunny Doesn't do a what's up doc? Joke. If you have a carrot in a movie you have to say what's up, doc, I don't care.
Speaker 2:John McClane literally has to say what's up, doc, right somebody has to say what's up, doc.
Speaker 1:Where did he get the carrot? Why does he have a carrot on a mission? None of this makes any sense. I was livid. I wrote four or five notes about the carrot. At some point he just throws the carrot on the ground. Why does he have the carrot? I don't know. I don't understand. I don't get it.
Speaker 2:Well, you need something to do with your hands if you're an actor, so understand. I don't get it Well, you need something to do with your hands if you're an actor.
Speaker 1:So that's what they gave him. He literally went to craft surfaces on that stupid set, grabbed a carrot and they were like it's time to roll. He's like I'm not done with my carrot yet. Ah, do you mind if I just eat it during the scene? Sure, eat a carrot guy. That makes sense.
Speaker 2:Now can you hear my neighbor vacuuming.
Speaker 1:I don't know why I'm listening to my microphone. That's not where the sound comes from. Hold up, I can. Yeah, no, I can't. That's what I hear. People have to vacuum their carpets, yeah.
Speaker 2:It can't make this episode any worse. The daughter's like ha ha, ha, ha, ha ha, I'm evil now. You left me when you were in prison and now I'm evil and I need money because you abandoned me.
Speaker 1:I'm evil Money, money, money, money, money. Can I ask you a question? Dan, yeah. Did you get sexual vibes from her. In this scene there's a moment you mean where he goes.
Speaker 2:Was she like trying to turn me on? Is that your?
Speaker 1:question, not you, perhaps her father? These are the this happens twice in the movie that she's very sexual towards her father. She leans into his ear and he goes but you're my daughter and she goes yes, and you're my father. And I was like what? That? That was weird. There's a weird, there's a weird sexual tension in this scene. And then also at the end, during the twist, when he's like I am yuri, I'm very good now, and she like bounces up to him like all giddy, and it's just there's a weird sexual tension going on between these two. And I'm not judging, I'm just bringing it up to the people.
Speaker 2:I didn't notice, but I don't pay attention to shit like that. You're a lot more tuned in and weird about that kind of crap?
Speaker 1:Do you mean a horned dog? Is that what you're?
Speaker 2:trying to say Dan, you're much better horned dog. So basically, the bad guy is going to leave, they're going to take Yuri and the key and then so then they go up to the helicopter there's a helicopter on the roof, always, there's always a helicopter on the roof, always, there's always a helicopter on the roof. And then they're like kill John McClane and ostensibly then come up afterwards because, the helicopter doesn't just leave.
Speaker 2:It hangs out there long enough for when the killing of John McClane fails, the carrot man could get up. He somehow escapes and gets up there, the carrot man.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:And so of course do you want to about like the whole scene, about how they escape and and all the things that happen with carrot guy.
Speaker 1:Well, well, I get, I'm confused, so they okay. So the helicopter starts shooting stuff. No, right.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, no Stop.
Speaker 1:Eventually Cause, don't they jump out the window and go down the fire?
Speaker 2:escape. Hold on you, I'm jumping the gun. You're jumping the gun all right the back carrot guy's like I hate cowboys, and then he starts doing a weird dance and then he soft shoes.
Speaker 1:I forgot he does a little soft shoe. What is going on with this guy, dan? He comes into the scene eating a carrot. He throws the carrot down, starts doing a soft shoe Tappity, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. And then he goes on some diatribe about I could have been a dancer. I could have been a dancer, but nobody supported what is happening. I don't care that no one supported. What does this have to do with anything? He's the brother of the taxi driver. My parents supported my brother singing, but they never supported my dancing.
Speaker 2:So basically he does that then they start beating up john and john and sunny, and then sunny, like, gets his secret knife out and cuts himself free, and then they go on to kill everybody and john.
Speaker 1:So john sees this and starts doing his fake laugh. His signature like I'm laughing. So you don't know that I'm grabbing the gun behind my dad to put a bullet in your hans gruber jai courtney can't fake laugh, oh really it was the most, it was the weirdest thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 1:Go back and just watch this scene. No, bruce willis is doing this, his classic like laugh and john courtney's like ah, ah, ah. I don't know what he's doing. I didn't do it justice there and now I'm embarrassed, but it is so weird and everyone should pay extra close attention to that and and and just watch it.
Speaker 2:It's very funny so then they like run, they jump behind a bar, they see the big stained glass windows up above and they shoot them out.
Speaker 1:So it rains glass which is, you know, the call back to the classic die hard, shoot the glass so the bad guys, the carrot guy, gets up there.
Speaker 2:They didn't kill him, he's like john mcclain okay, they're like well, we got a, we got a fucking helicopter. They pull the helicopter around, they start shooting the building, they jump off into scaffolding, then they jump into one of those hoses. That goes to the thing and then the doctor decides to just fly just leaves it, just.
Speaker 1:It just is like ah, that was a lot of work, let's go home, guys.
Speaker 2:I don't get it uh, then we have our guys. They leave and they open the door and are in an abandoned department store which is just left lying around for them to hang out in.
Speaker 1:It's just left lying around. Yeah Well, you know sets are hard to come by.
Speaker 2:So this is the time where John McClane and his son do their bonding. It was a nice little scene. You're like okay, this is an actual scene with. It's fine. I mean it's not a good scene, but it's a fine little scene where you'd be like, oh, bruce Willis can still act, he can actually play John McClane. You're like oh, this is John McClane.
Speaker 1:Yeah, if you give him John McClane, he can play it.
Speaker 2:This is the point in which in the movie they finally roll John McClane into the movie. You're like this is a little late.
Speaker 1:We're like 40 minutes into this thing.
Speaker 2:And then Jai Courtney tells us the plot of the movie, which is that what's really happened is the Yuri and the defense minister stole a bunch of uranium a long time ago and that's hidden somewhere, and so what we think is a file is really yuri going to get that? And then, but the defense minister not realizing he's going to get that, I guess yeah I like I.
Speaker 1:How does what does he think the file is? I just don't get it, man. I don't understand it at all. It's very weird. They're trying to do the classic diehard thing where you think it's about something else and then it's about the money, Like I get that, but in all the other ones it makes sense and that's the key.
Speaker 2:And then these two idiots were the ones that caused chernobyl.
Speaker 1:Oh god, I almost forgot that there's a whole chernobyl side story. You can't just take credit for chernobyl.
Speaker 2:I'm pretty sure you can't do that, dan, really not like this so boom, they leave the department store after an amount of time because they just wanted to like talk plot, and they go to this parking lot and then he's trying to pick the lock on a car. And then John McClane has stolen the keys to the car somehow.
Speaker 1:And then what happened? They opened the car. No, no, no, before thatai. Okay, jai court, you set it up perfectly. Jai courtney, picking the lock on a car, mclean comes up and is like, or we can just use the keys, and jai courtney turns around and goes stealing. Really, dad, what the fuck are you doing? You're trying to steal the car, just a harder way. What does that line have to do with anything I can actually explain that line to you.
Speaker 2:It's a bad line, but I can completely explain that to you.
Speaker 1:I'm going to punch you through the screen.
Speaker 2:He's saying that his dad is stealing by going and stealing the keys.
Speaker 1:What is he doing?
Speaker 2:Well, he's trying to pick a lock. What is he doing? Well, he's trying to pick a lock, he's trying to steal a car, but his dad sucks because he went and stole keys. That's exactly what it means, because I got it when he said it.
Speaker 1:You're kind of like well, that's kind of weird.
Speaker 2:But it is correct, it's dumb.
Speaker 1:It's dumb, it's stupid. I don't like it.
Speaker 2:It's not what you're thinking. You're thinking. You think he's saying you want us to steal this car.
Speaker 1:That is what he said to me. I was like but you are stealing the car, You're stealing the car right now he's like Dad, you suck because you stole the keys as opposed to like doing it like a spy. I see.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:No, it's not good. I like doing it like a spy, which is okay. No, it's not good. I mean, I, I guess I understand what you're saying. They, I, I would argue that's not what is in the movie.
Speaker 2:Oh, it's absolutely what's in the movie, because I, I, I, when he said it, I was like, oh, I get, oh, I see he's, he's, he's stealing. And I'm not stealing, I'm breaking and entering. You know, like, like, it's different, like bringing in Eric then stealing.
Speaker 1:You got to put in the work, dad.
Speaker 2:That's kind of what it was. It was kind of a put in the work joke. That is what it is.
Speaker 1:It's terrible. It's so stupid. I don't like it.
Speaker 2:So they open the trunk and boom, there's all these guns.
Speaker 1:Hundreds of weapons.
Speaker 2:Yay, and you're like well that that's convenient, but then this is like.
Speaker 1:This is like my favorite thing in the whole movie because they do that, you do the famous dan goodsell line but it's a good line.
Speaker 2:He's like, yes, all the all the chechen gangsters park here for this, for the club, and they can't bring their guns in the club, so they leave them in the car.
Speaker 1:Leave them in the trunk and I'm like yeah okay, that's okay if you can do that a hundred more times for everything else you do in this movie, you'd have a good movie okay so then the kid's like, we gotta drive to chernobyl, so they're driving to chernobyl.
Speaker 2:The helicopter went to chernobyl. How much faster is the helicopter than a car? Apparently not very fast, not very fast, not very fast.
Speaker 1:I mean, I guess, if you fly a helicopter because you can fly it slow I've never been in a helicopter.
Speaker 2:You can fly a helicopter. It can fly at one mile an hour, it can just go Okay. I mean they can hover right.
Speaker 1:I've seen them hover. They do it over my house all the time. I don't know what they're looking for. So you know, maybe they were just taking a leisurely stroll.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So basically, what's going to shake out is in Chernobyl there's a building and in the building there's like a bank vault and then inside of a like a what's a box? That's in the bank? What's a box? A safety deposit box.
Speaker 2:Safety deposit box thing. If you open that, then there's the keyhole that the magic weird key goes in. Then, when you open that key, this big door opens and then there's a vault and that's where all the uranium is. Yeah, and so this whole thing was a big trick and the daughter was working with the dad because they were trying to get them to take them to there with the key and then unlock this and then they're going to use the helicopter to take the uranium.
Speaker 1:Yes, which feels more complicated than it needed to be.
Speaker 2:Now here's my question to you, tony.
Speaker 1:Okay, I have a question to you, but you go first.
Speaker 2:Do they load the uranium in the truck and then put it on the helicopter, or is it just sitting there and they don't even start doing that?
Speaker 1:I'm pretty sure it's just sitting there Because John comes in. He's like what's in all these boxes, right, I don't think. I think it's just still chilling. So what have they been doing? Celebrating, I don't know. I can tell you what I think they've been doing making out. My daddy and daughter have been making out in this safe all day. So here's my question back to you chernobyl, yes, isn't it. Isn't it still radioactive?
Speaker 2:um, it is slightly, but you can go. There's all sorts of um vacations and tours you can take there. They're really cool. Go watch them on youtube.
Speaker 1:They're great do you get? Do you wear a hazmat suit? You're just getting. You're just choosing to get radiation it's not that much, so I'm spending thousands of dollars to fly overseas just to go into radiation. Yeah, and that's a cool vacation. I'm out. I'm just telling you right now I'm not going to Chernobyl on vacation.
Speaker 2:You can take someone else I totally would go Because you get to see the land has reclaimed the buildings but the buildings are still all spooky and weird and, you know, creepy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean that sounds great, but I'm getting radiation poisoning. Not that much, Sure, not that much, but with all the x-rays I've gotten in my life because I'm so klutzy, you know I'm already on a bad way.
Speaker 2:You wear like the little thing and it tells you if it's too bad.
Speaker 1:They're like oh, we don't go here Like Fallout, I get my pit boy and it's like the rads are off the chart here.
Speaker 2:Okay, Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. So then John McClane and him and Jai, they get their guns and bombs and everything. They're ready to rock and roll. They go in there. They find yuri and yuri's like, oh, what happened?
Speaker 1:they're bad, and he fakes thing that john's like I see through you and then they're like because here's the thing, john mclean better spy than his son of course just throwing that out there, yeah and they're like you used us or he I used you, and then he's all like it's about the money.
Speaker 2:And then john's like it's always, it's always about the money, this is die hard. It's always about the money. And then john's like it's always, it's always about the money.
Speaker 1:This is die hard. It's always about the money and I get it like it's a fine line. I get it, but again it does.
Speaker 2:Your plot doesn't make sense compared to the other plots then there's a giant gun battle which there's an unknowable objective. I don't know what the objective is and more shooting, and that is the. A grenade that blows everything up.
Speaker 1:And he goes what's in those grenades? Which is funny, but I also don't know the answer.
Speaker 2:No, nobody knows the answer. Then John goes after the helicopter and then Junior goes on the roof and then eventually the helicopter is flying and trying to shoot the roof and then he drives the truck out. The back of the helicopter is flying and trying to shoot the roof and then he drives the truck out the back of the helicopter, which is chain linked to the helicopter.
Speaker 1:I don't totally understand it, but I love it because he drives it out the back and then it's like hanging out the back while the helicopter is loose and all you know control. That's fun.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was fun, and then eventually the helicopter crashes. But before that, jai.
Speaker 1:Courtney throws Yuri off the roof and then he gets caught in the blades and you know is probably missed, but we don't get to see it, which is disappointing. Is what I would have liked to see Minced, missed, like a red mist. Just a puff of blood. I would love to see like the red mist hit the windshield and then that's when the daughter screams oh, you know, because we cut to the daughter screaming, but I would love a blood splatter on the window and then her scream. That would have been a nice touch.
Speaker 2:Mystified, mystified, that's funny and then they they jump off the John McClane gets thrown onto the top of the building. Then they both jump off the building and there's convenient pawns well, hold on.
Speaker 1:So she shoots at them a little more, and then she's out of bullets. So what she decides to do is drive the helicopter into the building to kill them, yeah, but then they just jump out of the side of her and are like looking at her as they jump and she looks at them and like there needs to have been a joke there. There has to have been some sort of a like a winky, you know something there. This movie.
Speaker 2:One thing this movie does at times this has like john's like on the helicopter flying around through space. He's down here, there's machine guns, and then jack courtney's like hey dad, you're a bad dad. And then he's like yeah, I always do. I was a bad dad. There's like these weird yeah adr lines thrown in there. You're just like, yeah, if you added one more of those it would just be too painful.
Speaker 1:It would have. It would have. It would have landed it. For me, though, like I, you know what I mean keep doing it until it works.
Speaker 2:You know my philosophy boom, they're in the pond. He comes out and he's like dead, dead, dead, and then bruce willis is already out and then he's all like it's a weird moment, because jai courtney is yelling like five or six times.
Speaker 1:And then we cut to John and he's like I'm here, he's out of the pond, chill. It's like you heard him yell all the time, that you've heard every. Why wouldn't you respond before that?
Speaker 2:That doesn't make any sense. So then he's like you called me dad. I'm proud of you.
Speaker 1:And then we cut back to the United States.
Speaker 2:Somehow They've gotten home.
Speaker 1:How did they? They should be locked up in prison, right, like? How did they escape? It doesn't, regardless. Then there's like this weird scene where they reunite with Lucy the daughter, but there's no dialogue. It's all slow motion. And it's like this weird scene where they reunite with Lucy the daughter, but there's no dialogue. It's all slow motion and it's so weird. And then the movie just freeze frames and fades out Freeze frame, freeze frame, freeze frame. Is this 1993? Why are we freeze framing this? It doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 2:And then I wrote it is bizarre, cue up the rousing cheap soundtrack music. Yeah, yeah, you're right about that. How much?
Speaker 1:money did they spend on this soundtrack music? It had to have been none. There was, after the, the frank sinatra talk. There was about 10 seconds of sinatra and then they faded Sinatra into like generic music. I don't know if you caught that, but I was like what is the amount of time you can play something without paying copyright? Cause I bet that's what they did.
Speaker 2:I don't. Well, I don't know if you can play anything. I don't know. That's a good question.
Speaker 1:I think you can play a certain amount of time, but I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Maybe I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1:When the shark bite and done. Enough. Enough of that New York New, which is. It's unfortunate, because all the other movies, while they're not like known for their soundtracks, they have fun Christmas music or, like old you know, there's like good music in all of them. They did Not this one.
Speaker 2:They spent no money on the music.
Speaker 1:Everything that makes Die Hard, die hard is pretty much missing from this movie.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so you know, you get a little drama, claim at the end.
Speaker 1:Just a touch, not enough.
Speaker 2:At times it feels like yeah, like with the big chase, at the beginning it felt like they shot three different chases and then sort of cut them together, just splice it together, yeah. And yeah, most of the other stuff just terrible, you know yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean. So there's four diehard movies in my mind there's just four.
Speaker 2:There's no five.
Speaker 1:You know what there's five Tony, there's really not. This is the last time I will ever watch this movie but I will watch one through four all the time.
Speaker 2:Yeah for diehard being such a good movie and him being such a good character. It is pretty sad to make a movie where the character just has so little amount of time to shine and and yeah, and have fun and and go around and do shit and what's even, what's not worse but sadder to me, is that they talked about making another one even before this one was released, and then just it never happened.
Speaker 1:I don't know, and then you know, now it can't, unfortunately.
Speaker 2:So, bruce, you gave us some good movies, and sadly there's a bunch of other movies too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, we love you, bruce. All right, you know I'm a, I'm a big, big fan. And again, one through four, I think are all phenomenal movies. People don't all agree with me on that, which is fine, but I love them all yeah uh, now we're talking about something we like this week.
Speaker 2:Um, one of the people that watches this show, uh, mentioned this movie, 13 assassins, which is a 2010 movie about these, uh, these, uh assassins who want to kill the shogun's half brother. Oh, boy same sort of time period as 47 ronin, and this is the movie that 47 ronin should have been. Um, uh, there, you know, there's just some. There's some good stuff in here, interesting, all right, 47 Ronin should have been. There's just some good stuff in here.
Speaker 1:Interesting, I'll watch this then.
Speaker 2:And they do all the things where, when the guys know that they're going off to death, they say that they're going off to death and they act like they're going off to death.
Speaker 1:Oh wow, they have emotions about it. They all have emotions about it what a bunch of saps, and then not surprisingly, they all go off to death.
Speaker 2:But there's definitely the last. The 45-minute end scene battle is just absolutely worth watching. It's not like, it's not what I would call like the greatest kind of thing like this, but there's a lot of fun things and there's people have time to, you know, give some little bit of speeches and to do some stuff. Okay, all right, you're like, this is how it's supposed to be sure, sure, you know, not always though but 47 ronin did not learn any of those things.
Speaker 2:And then also we have the the uh the avalanche of john Mulaney, which he was on David Letterman's show. He was just on one of the other talk shows that he has, this six-night his talk show, which was live on Friday night and then live Monday through.
Speaker 1:Friday again.
Speaker 2:And he just had the first one of those last night. I watched it this morning and it was super interesting.
Speaker 1:Where? Where's that? How do I find that it's on Netflix, netflix. Okay, I'll check that out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he wants to do something like this sort of. But you know, sure I don't know, he he's, he's been cause he did something. There's some other thing. Maybe he was at the Oscars. Was he at the Oscars? No, the Emmys. There was some award show recently that he was at, and he was really good and you were like he wanted to be really good at it. So, maybe he wants to host the Oscars or the Emmys or something like that.
Speaker 1:Nothing wrong with that. He got to have goals. He wants something like that. Nothing wrong with that. You know, yeah, you got to have goals, yeah, you got to have goals in life.
Speaker 2:He wants something like that, and so he's doing all this stuff. I love it. So, tony, you didn't watch anything or do anything this week because you're a freaking weirdo.
Speaker 1:Well, again, we watched all the diehards. It's one diehard a night, it's a lot of diehard, um, but, and this is not something that I watched, but it's something I will watch, and it's uh, they've officially started filming, from my understanding, and that's suits la, which I'm very excited about because, uh, friend of the pod, steven amell is the lead character and I'm a friend of the pod.
Speaker 2:I hope he hears that I'm very excited Is Suits that show that's called Suits. Yeah Dan yeah from USA Network Suits, one of the greatest shows of all time, and so Netflix is like bringing it back or something.
Speaker 1:I don't know if it's Netflix actually I'm not sure who's what network it's on but yeah, during the pandemic it got huge on streaming, even though it was great when it's on. But yeah, it, during the pandemic it got huge on streaming, even though it was great when it was on tv. Um, and we're actually re-watching that now as well, because you know, you gotta, you gotta once they're making a spin-off but I'm very excited my dad gets a prediction it will be beyond terrible no one's gonna listen to that prediction because it's wrong.
Speaker 1:It's wrong and mean, uh no, this is gonna be. It's by the same, it's the original creator of the show he's making. I think it's gonna be really good because steven amell is in it and he's uh, he's a great human super terrible.
Speaker 2:I wish them luck.
Speaker 1:I hope it's good, but I expect I hope it's good too, because he's so handsome and I and heels. While I did enjoy heels, it's not a great great show. That's his wrestling show, that he did the past couple years and I just want him to be in a good show. I really like him and I wish him success and hopefully this is the one because he's very sexy.
Speaker 2:Well it's highly unlikely, but anything's possible in Hollywood negativity. So this week I get to pick a movie. Was gonna pick a movie done by the same people that did this movie. Oh god, I have one picked out. We'll do that some other time, but I watched a movie this week and I was like you know what I need, tony, to watch this movie, and it is jerry seinfeld's pop darts. That's amazing.
Speaker 1:I'm so excited. So you did. You mentioned this before we went on and my response when you said you watch it was I was planning on doing it for the podcast. So if you didn't pick it this week, I probably would have picked it next week, cause I I do need to see it and I'm very excited about it.
Speaker 2:I'm not going to say anything. What I will say is Jerry Seinfeld phenomenally unfunny in this movie. How's that possible? And it's interesting because he was one of the guests on the John Mulaney show that I watched this morning. And you're like, oh there's Jerry and he's being funny. Yeah, cause he's funny, he's funny, but I'm so excited.
Speaker 1:I don't know that he could be funny as the primary character. Okay, jerry seinfeld obviously you didn't see the b movie the b movie was okay, I'm kidding, I don't know. I don't think I ever actually saw it.
Speaker 2:Oh, it's, it's all right okay, but it you know, I mean it ends as a court case movie. Right, the b movie? Yeah, that's how it ends. It's a. It sounds funny, I don't know. Well, it's not funny because the bees sue humanity, because humanity is what is happening. Doing something is killing the world or something stupid like that.
Speaker 1:All right, I got it. Now I'm gonna watch it this week because this, this does sound amazing. No, it's very bad, I'll watch. So I'm going to watch two Seinfeld movies, I'm going to watch the B movie and I'm going to watch this movie.
Speaker 2:Yes, so just be prepared in the Seinfeld movie for there being lots of references to things that I'm intrigued.
Speaker 1:If you get it or even know what they are.
Speaker 2:Oh boy To you, Because my, my basic assessment is that the hit, the idea of the comedy of the movie is oh, we're going to reference things that were in the past and that's the joke.
Speaker 1:And you're like oh, that's not a joke. Not a joke, right, yeah.
Speaker 2:And then the reference isn't a joke, Yep, but then there's not a joke, right, yeah, the reference isn't a joke, yep, yeah. So yeah, there's a lot of that in the movie. Okay, all right, let's see if I even understand one word of this film. Be prepared for that.
Speaker 1:When you say the past, is it like 2010 to 2015? Because that's kind of where my memory lives.
Speaker 2:It's 1963.
Speaker 1:Okay, great, yeah, we're in real trouble.
Speaker 2:Yeah, cause there's. I thought about it. I was like, you know, I didn't hate the movie, but I was like this is just a weird movie and it's like it's phenomenally not funny. And I'm just trying to, you know, do the. There was like this one scene that I thought back to and I was like I need to talk about this scene Cause it is. It is such a bafflingly weird scene.
Speaker 1:Interesting and I want to hear what you have to say about it, cause. I'll probably have a lot to say about it.
Speaker 2:I have a lot to say about it. So we're going to go with Jerry Seinfeld and see how it's like, and of course, jerry just did his whole thing, where he's like whoopness has ruined the comedy and it's literally the dumbest thing any comedian has ever said.
Speaker 1:Did you see rob mecklehenny's response to that, to my butchering his name from?
Speaker 2:it's always sunny well, and of course, everyone in the world was like it's always sunny and south park who have never let up off the gas for a fraction of a second they've gotten worse not worse, but like they don't care.
Speaker 1:They, yeah, they care less now than they did originally, which is just a wonderful, wonderful thing to behold.
Speaker 2:So what did Rob say?
Speaker 1:Oh, he just he posted a picture of rickety cricket and, uh, cause the? The end of Jerry's response was like we did this thing with Kramer, where he did something with homeless people I don't remember exactly what it was and he's like do you think I can make that episode today, question mark. And then Michael Henry's response was just a picture of rickety cricket and then the response was like probably yes. I was like yeah, man, if you do it right, of course you can.
Speaker 2:What's rickety cricket? That's like something on their thing.
Speaker 1:Have you never seen. It's always sunny. I've seen some of it.
Speaker 2:It's there's a lot of seasons.
Speaker 1:So cricket is like one of not he's not one of their friend group, but he's like a tangential guy and he ends up he goes homeless and they just they fuck with him all the time like they're. It's a character that they just dump on constantly and it's hilarious and wonderful and very fun.
Speaker 1:They're terrible people, everybody on that show the worst, terrible people in the world and I want to be friends with them. That's how good that show is like in real life there. You would not want to hang out with them but you're like maybe I would, I might have fun with them?
Speaker 2:I don't know. Yeah, so the whole idea that and that, the whole idea that comedy is, is suffering right now in this world where we have some of the most amazing comics.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, I I think that his, his problem is is the general tv sitcom is not in like a great state that is correct, yes, but that doesn't mean you know, specifically, the seinfeldian multicam sitcom is is in a rough state, but in the sitcoms defense, the people who are writing the sitcoms today don't know how to do it.
Speaker 2:Well, the sitcom that exists in the world, that's being pushed out into the world, is for a very specific audience. That's a very different audience than was in the time of Seinfeld Sure. The eyeballs are all very different. You know. We live in a very different world.
Speaker 1:Well, they got my eyeballs and they're doing a terrible job. Even the Frasier reboot was dreadful, just absolute trash, and I watched every episode and I will. If they make another season, I'll watch it again, because I love sitcoms. I love traditional multi-cam filmed in front of a live studio audience, but nobody knows how to date, it's like we're making what's the word? Like a mockery of them.
Speaker 2:Oh, they're a comic. That's what it feels like. The sitcoms are a comic on sitcoms. They're not doing them for real.
Speaker 1:Yes, that's exactly it, and that's not how you do it Anyhow.
Speaker 2:Well, and I mean, the truth of the matter is that's where Jerry's kind of right. He just said it wrong.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, he said it really wrong.
Speaker 2:The characters on that, because I watched the first episode of that Frasier is the characters were caricatures.
Speaker 1:They weren't characters. Yes, a million, bajillion percent. And that is the sitcom landscape. They're all that way. I don't know why. I don't get it. I don't know why we can't just do like a real person saying jokes. They all have to be like these. I don't know. It's super weird well, it's bizarre.
Speaker 2:They're stand-ins for something. They want you to understand exactly what they are. So there's stand-ins for for sure yeah, no, that's, that's exactly right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 100 instead of being a real character with like depth and multi-angle.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right and that's absolutely right, dan I'm always right, and that's the reason why the except for something you said. I don't remember why I got mad at you, but I was.
Speaker 1:You said that the relationship between John and the cop was bad. You're not always right.
Speaker 2:Dad and that's why what's-his-name who plays Sheldon on Big Bang. He always brought a level of humanity to that character. He never let that character become a cliche. He always felt like a real guy and talk about characters that are giant pricks. He was that always felt like a real guy and he talked about characters that are giant pricks. He was a giant asshole.
Speaker 1:And it played by, I think, any other person and it does not work. Not only that, but without him the show doesn't work, because the show's not great, but that character is great. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:And like I, I wouldn't have sat through the whole show if he wasn't a part of it.
Speaker 1:I watched a few episodes.
Speaker 2:I know we watched the whole thing cover to cover. Well, if you like what you do, give us a subscription or give us a thumbs up or leave a comment.
