Show Notes

It’s a question that comes around every year as reliably as Christmas itself: “Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?” In this BONUS EPISODE, Die Hard’s screenwriter – our good friend STEVE DESOUZA – brings plenty of hard evidence that proves not only IS Die Hard a CHRISTMAS MOVIE, it’s way more of one than than the classic “White Christmas”.

In a Yahoo News/YouGov poll taken this very year, half of Americans agree with Steve that, yeah, Die Hard’s a Christmas movie. Fight me on it! Or, better yet, “Ho-ho-ho”.

Now, there is resistance to the idea. The movie’s star – Bruce Willis – has always said he didn’t think Die Hard was.

Who’s right here? Who are we to say? We’re just humble movie makers asking a question.

We leave it to you to find your own answer amidst the chaos. And Happy Holidays from everyone at The How NOT To Make A Movie Podcast!
