Episode 10.1: DIE HARD! The Podcast! (Except it's the novel that inspired the movie, "Nothing Lasts Forever," and it's not nearly as good or nuanced)
Literary Guise: A Book Club for Modern Men11/01/21 • 24 min
In honor of the holiday season, we are reading and discussing the novel that inspired the action move/ Christmas classic: "Die Hard." Roderick Thorp's grisly and unpleasant, "Nothing Lasts Forever." Look at it this way: we read this book so you don't have to. In this episode we'll discuss the key differences between the book and the novel, share which of the shallow female or one-note minority characters made us feel the most uncomfortable, and then just reminisce about the comparatively nuanced and deeply character-driven plotting of the 80s action movie.
*Bonus at home drinking game: How often will co-host Zachary Kellian confuse the novel's protagonist, "Joe Leeland" with former Detroit Tiger's manager, "Jim Leyland?" Take a shot every time he does.
