Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995)

For their 178th episode, two non-Austrian film critics, two log-carrying dads, and two rocket-launching teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, kick off the beginning of a recurring side series of films described as a "Tight 90." In today's day and age of exhausting epics and effusive directors' cuts, Will and Don celebrate movies that nailed their purpose and entertainment value in 90 minutes or less. Their first feature is the Arnold Schwarzenegger action favorite "Commando" from 1985, a movie that packs punches, explosions, and montages all in a tidy time.

Our guys debate trying to say great things about a very good movie and whether or not the love triangle between Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O'Connor was hot enough to warrant the hype and sick Reznor & Ross musical score.  Come learn more and stay for the mutual love and respect that the fun movies encapsulate.
