Stunning work here by Jason Bailey (aka @jasondashbailey.com) : a tight book, packed with detail, but kinetic in the way it moves through Gandolfini's life. Signed by the author. mzs.press/SIGNED-Gando...

Imagine being a billionaire and not being a patron of the arts

When it came to one of the most influential and coolest films of the last 30 years, we knew we needed a great guest. And we got one with @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social! Thanks for helping to make this biggest episode of the year, Matt. pod.link/1658664345/e...

What are your top 3 Cronenbergs? youtu.be/FCi3zAvm7d8?...

It’s Die Hard in a diner! This week on DIE HARD ON A BLANK we’re discussing David Cronenberg’s masterful 2005 film A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, a story that begins (and ends) with a DIE HARD-type scenario…and goes deep and hard on the consequences of surviving such an event. pod.link/1658664345

Thank you!!!

The brilliance of REBEL RIDGE is that it’s a slow burn thriller that wastes no time. Every frame is rich with pulsing intention. Saulnier delivers my favorite Netflix film since DOLEMITE IS MY NAME and firmly mints Aaron Pierre as a movie star. I only wish I could’ve watched this one in a theater.

'First Blood' was released on this day in 1982. For @crooked-marquee.bsky.social, I wrote about how the 'Rambo' series started as something quite different than what it became: crookedmarquee.com/how-rambo-tu...

One of our favorite Bigelow Boys.

It’s Die Hard in a taxi! This week on DIE HARD ON A BLANK we’re taking a ride with Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx as we discuss Michael Mann’s exemplary 2004 thriller COLLATERAL! pod.link/1658664345

I've heard it mentioned a hundred times in @diehardoab.bsky.social promos and now it's on Tubi so I'm gonna watch TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA tonight. (Die Hard on a Blank is a fun podcast.)

If there’s one thing @oneblakeminute.bsky.social and I are gonna do, it’s yap about Colin Farrell. We’re both on @diehardoab.bsky.social this week talking about PHONE BOOTH (RIP Mr. Schumacher) open.spotify.com/episode/5rIc...

When the @diehardoab.bsky.social boys asked @katiewalshstx.bsky.social and I to pair up for a Colin Farrell / Joel Schumacher joint, it was as irresistible as an early 2000s goatee open.spotify.com/episode/5rIc...

No one paid $5 for under the top. @katiewalshstx.bsky.social talks to us about Schumacher's cinematic craftsmanship. @diehardoab.bsky.social youtu.be/41eiEjFVPY0?...

This week we talk REIGN OF FIRE and @philipgawthorne.bsky.social makes a case for its uniqueness. Credit to @coreyatad.com for his ranking meter. #reignoffire #diehardonablank #christianbale

This is great. This film has always been a disappointment. It always seemed like a meal of the best ingredients served cold on a paper plate. The opening credits are great and just keeps sliding after that... Looking forward to learning more.

This week we're joined by Shahir Daud (of @onlymoviepodcast.bsky.social) to talk about Panic Room and why the production of the film, rather than the story or ideas, seems to reflect David Fincher's obsessions.

Jack Palance walked out of the set of BATMAN and onto the set of TANGO & CASH. PATREON.COM/48HOURSOFBUDDYMOVIES

RECENTLY! TANGO & CASH on patreon.com/48hoursofbuddymovies!

This is like typing 'pair something we love with something we hate' into ChatGPT.

Honestly no one has ever been hotter than WP in this movie.

It’s Die Hard in a war zone! This week on DIE HARD ON A BLANK…it’s war! Not just on screen, but also between Phil and Liam, who have very different opinions about this film!

What part could Gandolfini played in Die Hard? @liamgbillingham.bsky.social, @philipgawthorne.bsky.social, and @jasondashbailey.com debate this week on DHOAB. pod.link/1658664345/e...

In the absence of tables, there is Marco @diehardoab.bsky.social

THE LAST CASTLE is a movie that complicates our relationship to patriotism. Feels like the right movie for right now. Listen to our episode this week featuring friend of the show @jasondashbailey.com! diehardonablank.com

A legend.

Chris, my good man, do we have a podcast for you.

Thrilled to go back on a favorite pod and talk about one of Gandolfini's most against-type performances!

He's such a great creep in this one. Plus, it's a Hall of Famer in the "everyone has an implausibly interesting name" trope.

It’s Die Hard in a military prison! This week on DIE HARD ON A BLANK, we are storming THE LAST CASTLE with returning special guest @jasondashbailey.com, author of the new book: "GANDOLFINI: JIM, TONY AND THE LIFE OF A LEGEND." pod.link/1658664345/e...

This week on 48 HBM, we tackle one of the defining entries in the genre - LETHAL WEAPON 2! Patreon.com/48hoursofbuddymovies

Wow, @diehardoab.bsky.social/ @cowspod.com meet up! Plus a dumpster.

Faves collabed

Masterpiece?!

Maltese Falcon

This week's episode is on SWORDFISH, which has a certain Musk to it. Diehardonablank.com

This week on DIE HARD ON A BLANK, we plug into SWORDFISH — the slick, post-Matrix cyber-thriller produced by Joel Silver and directed by Dominic Sena. It's a film that dares to ask: does it matter if a movie makes no sense, as long as it’s entertaining? pod.link/1658664345/e...

This week we are by joined by @strohltopia.bsky.social to talk CHILL FACTOR, a pretty mediocre movie that nevertheless leads us to a conversation about how we engage with art and cinema! Also, ice cream puns! t.co/GyPvDN6P44

This week on the show: CHILL FACTOR - it's Die Hard on an ice cream truck! We were joined by special guest @strohltopia.bsky.social - Montana resident and author of the books HARD TO WATCH and WHY IT'S OK TO LOVE BAD MOVIES! Episode available here now! pod.link/1658664345

Babe wake up! The 1987 Bruce Willis mockumentary HBO special about his rock & roll alter ego Bruno Randolini is on.

In the middle of this episode. One of Matt's great strengths as a critic is that he's an enthusiast — he sees greatness in a lot of places, and shares it, with passion and eloquence. He's excited about movies (and TV) and gets me excited, too, and more confident in just liking stuff.
