The Praise Pod

Praise Pod

If you’re a film lover of any creed, you’re probably familiar with “the canon.” These movies are considered to be the greats for one reason or another. We started asking: Why do these movies get praised? Whether a financial or critical success, cult favorite, or film with some legacy, we’re going to talk about two things: 1. Why we think this movie got praised?
 2. Is it actually any good? If you’ve ever loved a movie despite feeling like it wasn’t made for you or hated a movie that you were told is made for everyone, this is the podcast for you.

    Yippee Ki-Yay, We're Talking About 'Die Hard!' (w/ Tiffani Swalley and Bill Gordon)

    Daniella and Stefan are joined for a mini-reunion with Tiffani Swalley and Bill Gordon, the respective director and star of Chicago's 'Yippee Ki-Yay Merry Christmas!' The four 'Die Hard' diehards discuss what makes the movie so m*****f***ing good, their work on a 'Die Hard' parody musical, and the classic argument -- is 'Die Hard' a Christmas movie?  In lieu of advertisements, we'd like to encourage you to support Fair Fight, Stacey Abrams' organization working to fight voter suppression and organizing for the run-off senate races in Georgia. Learn more at www.fairfight.com. About 'Yippee Ki-Yay Merry Christmas:'  This hilarious musical parody of the classic Christmas movie 'Die Hard' invites audiences to the annual Nakatomi Christmas Eve Party on the 30th floor of the Nakatomi Plaza. Grizzled New York cop Bruce McClane is there to rekindle love between his estranged wife and 80s business woman Holly Generic. Everything is going swimmingly until fashion obsessed Hans Olo and his group of German terrorist take everyone hostage...everyone except McClane. Filled with hysterical musical numbers, farcical fight sequences, explosions, machine guns, and more Christmas Snow than Los Angeles ever gets, there is a reason Yippee Ki-Yay Merry Christmas: A DIE HARD Christmas Musical has quickly become a Chicago holiday tradition.
