Paul & Amy walk across broken glass for 1988’s definitive Bruce Willis action film Die Hard! They ask whether Hans Gruber is the true protagonist of the film, learn why Frank Sinatra was originally considered to play John McClane, and explore why this film succeeds where legions of imitators have failed. Plus: we settle the “Christmas movie” debate once and for all. You can rent Die Hard on all platforms but don't forget to check your local library or apps like Hoopla and Kanopy! You can join the Unspooled conversation on Paul’s Discord at <a href="https://discord.gg/ZwtygZGTa6" target="_blank">https://discord.gg/ZwtygZGTa6</a>Follow Paul and Amy on Letterboxd for more of their movie hot takes! <a href="https://letterboxd.com/paulscheer/" target="_blank">https://letterboxd.com/paulscheer/</a>  <a href="https://letterboxd.com/theamynicholson/" target="_blank">https://letterboxd.com/theamynicholson/</a>Paul’s book Joyful Recollections of Trauma is out now!
