Get Me Another

This week on GET ME ANOTHER... DIE HARD we find ourselves once again trapped in a tall building in L.A. that has been taken over by terrorists. But this time it's not Bruce Willis who must stop them... it's Anna Nicole Smith. 

We're excited to welcome Jason Kleeberg of the Force Five Podcast back to the show to discuss one of the most unusual films we'll tackle in this series... 1996's SKYSCRAPER.

This week we discuss one of the most critically and commercially successful movies to follow in the wake of Die Hard... 1994's SPEED starring Keanu Reeves, Dennis Hopper and Sandra Bullock.

Joining us to keep things over 50 mph is David Rosen of the Piecing It Together Podcast, who'll help us explore the origins of the film and the ways in which it adheres to (and departs from) the Die Hard formula.

It's "Die Hard on a Mountain" week as we explore two films with similar alpine settings, but from opposite ends of the budgetary spectrum.

First, Sylvester Stallone races to prevent a group of criminals led by John Lithgow from finding three suitcases full of money in CLIFFHANGER (1993).

Then CRACKERJACK (1994) sees Thomas Ian Griffith face off against Christopher Plummer at a Rocky Mountain resort taken over by terrorists looking for a mafia don's diamonds.

Special Guest Dirk Marshall of the VH US Podcast joins us this week to explore two lower budget Die Hard-inspired movies, both of which have women in the leading roles.

IRRESISTIBLE FORCE (1993) features Cynthia Rothrock as a rookie cop partnered with Stacey Keach, who becomes trapped inside a mall taken over by terrorists. 

Then Shannon Tweed, Robert Davi and Andrew Dice Clay star in NO CONTEST (1995) in which terrorists seize control of the “Miss Galaxy” beauty pageant.
