Episode 2: Die Hard

In the second episode of The Annotated Eighties podcast, Amy and Paul dive into the 1988 action film, Die Hard. They discuss the "is the film a Christmas movie" debate, the differences between the movie and its source material, and '80s xenophobia against Asians. Paul reads Hans Gruber as a pro wrestling heel, Amy notes the parallels to Rambo, and both indulge in copious praise of Alan Rickman.
