    Die Hard with Geraldine DeRuiter

    ... or Fine Beats and Cheeses Rarely Dies, as Producer Sam called this episode upon editing it. We continue our holiday episodes while continuing the debate about whether "Die Hard", 1988's classic action flick that made Bruce Willis a movie star, is a Christmas movie. We think it is but what do you think? We ponder this with return guest, friend of the show, and James Beard award-winning writer Geraldine DeRuiter. This was a really fun one, and Sam wasn't on it, so we talked long. We're totally sorry (but not really. Don't tell Sam). We hope you love it. James Beard award-winning author of the nationally bestselling IF YOU CAN'T TAKE THE HEAT, and blogger behind Everywhereist.com. Also, way too noisy on social media.
