Dan & Manny welcome back longtime friend & Nostalgia Test Podcast All-star Billy DâElia to put the 1988 (possible) Christmas classic Die Hard to the ultimate testâTHE NOSTALGIA TEST!
We finally put to rest the long-debated question of whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie or just a movie that happens on Christmas. This is a Nostalgia Test classic. We get into the novel Die Hard is based on, how this is the first time Dan is seeing the movie (WHAT?!), the genius of Bruce Willis & Allan Rickman, the weird conspiratorial Steve Urkel connection, random 80âs boobs, is John McClane hearing voices, the original boss bitch Bonnie Bedelia, and so much more!!!!!!!
