Serious Fun

You've spent all season arguing about whether it was a Christmas movie, but is it possible Die Hard is...so much more? This week we're launching a new subfeature on Serious Fun just in time for the holidays called Overthinkin' It! Bryan is joined by Dr. Ryan Martin (UWGB Psychology) and Dr. Michelle McQuade Dewhirst (UWGB Music) for a deep-dive, overthought analysis of the action classic Die Hard in time for its 30th anniversary! Is Die Hard secretly a feminist action movie? What can it teach us about scripting and plotting? And is John McClane a spiritual descendant of Ludwig van Beethoven? All that and more in this super-sized episode! Put it on your MP3 player and enjoy the holiday!
