Pop, the Question S1-E2
"The Gift of Kick-Ass"
Episode Summary
The 1988 Oscar-nominated film Die Hard challenged preconceptions of the action film genre and what constitutes a Christmas film. It delivers a powerful (holiday) punch, while also unpacking the institutionalization of the Christmas spirit. Drs. Melinda Lewis and Kevin Egan embark on an analysis of this Christmas classic, and even discover a few stocking stuffers in the process.
