#392 - Is "Die Hard" a Christmas Movie?

Lou Perella joins us this week for a fun look at a fun movie. Apparently some people don't believe Die Hard is a Christmas movie, so we say we're going to record a commentary track for the movie that proves it is. It is (delightfully) our flimsiest premise yet, as we don't do a lot of commenting on the movie, and instead discuss what makes something a Christmas movie, the meaning of Christmas spirit, and how much fun it is to do impressions of Alan Rickman. It's a fun conversation over one of our favorite films!

Episode 332: New Futurama, The Future Of Technology, and "UHF" Live

We're joined this week by local self-proclaimed beauty queen Gina Mastrostefano. We review some listener emails discussing the power of language, a Die Hard Christmas book, the Ducktales theme song in emojis, and a sketch from James Corden. We then duck into movie driplets about an upcoming Jim Carrey/Andy Kaufman documentary and the new Futurama episode (recorded through Nerdist). Chuck tells us about new innovations in wireless charging; this leads to a long discussion about the future of technology and what it will look like and how quickly we'll get there. An unplanned tangent that leads to some really interesting places! Even more interesting than the year 3000? The new Batman/TMNT comic book crossover! We talk about the band "Decapitated" and the charges against them, then talk about Chuck's Nintendo Switch and we all marvel at his Mario Kart prowess. We recount a recent trip to see a screening of "UHF" and Q&A with Weird Al Yankovic, then talk about our time this weekend riding electric bikes around Bristol!
