Get Me Another

We take to the skies once more to wrap up our GET ME ANOTHER... DIE HARD series with two movies from 1997 in which terrorists take over airplanes.

But not just any airplanes... the airplanes of the President (and Vice President) of the United States.

First up, President Harrison Ford battles Gary Oldman for control of his plane in AIR FORCE ONE.

Then Michael Dudikoff must save the Vice President's plane which has been loaded with a chemical weapon called Bromex 365 in the direct-to-video STRATEGIC COMMAND.

Terror goes into overtime this week on GET ME ANOTHER... DIE HARD!

We thrilled to welcome Super Marcey of the Super Network to help us explore Peter Hyam's 1995 action classic SUDDEN DEATH starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Powers Boothe.

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.
