Thirty-six floors. Thirteen (fake) terrorists. One perfect action movie. Kevin Smith - who was in a Die Hard movie AND directed Alan Rickman in DOGMA -\xa0 joins us again for a supersized episode on McTiernan\u2019s signature film. We\u2019re getting into Bruce's wine cooler commercials. We reveal the surprising Shakespeare play that influenced McTiernan\u2019s direction of this story. We\u2019re nerding out about the spatial and organizational PERFECTION that makes it such a classic. And we\u2019re paying loving homage to two screen presences whose careers ended tragically too soon.\xa0\n\nJoin our Patreon for franchise commentaries and bonus episodes.\nFollow us @blankcheckpod on Instagram, Threads, Facebook and X! \nBuy some real nerdy merch.\nConnect with other Blankies on our Reddit or Discord\nFor anything else, check out BlankCheckPod.com \nLearn more about your ad choices.
