Yippie-Ki-Yay, Merry Christmasers! We're celebrating the holiday season and closing out our 2019 season with a rambunctious reading of John McTiernan's 1988 action masterpiece, DIE HARD, which set the standard for every single action movie that followed. This simple tale of a lone cop doing battle against a Nakatomi Plaza filled with heavily accented terrorists turned Bruce Willis into a superstar, and Alan Rickman into an immortal.
