Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995) | Hangovers at 9 Years Old

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay are back from suspension, and are on the case to talk about one of the sweatiest action movies of all-time, 'Die Hard with a Vengeance.' Andy kicks off the episode by recalling when he saw this movie with his grandpa and it led to his school bringing in a social worker. Then the boys borrow a quarter to make a call on a payphone and tell the audience how this belongs in the annals of the franchise's original entry as a masterpiece. John McTiernan lends his steady hand to the proceedings, as the movie catapults the viewer straight into the uncontained action sequences captured with real location shots in '90s New York. Some of the location action is so insane it seems that stunt people (or extras) were certainly maimed while filming. The guys also talk about the sandwich board scene which led to the second funniest edited-for-TV moments in 'Die Hard' history. Bruce Willis' John McClane may have been suffering through a hangover the entire movie, but fortunately this movie was shot back when both Willis and Samuel L. Jackson gave a damn. Along with the chemistry of the two leads is a wonderfully hammy performance from the usually-refined Jeremy Irons as the baddie. The cast is then filled out with incredible character actors, and a number of real-life New Yahkers who capture the powder keg feeling that can only be emulated in the streets of NYC. This episode's so good that you'll be calling your ex at the end to tell them you love them, and they should listen too.
