Yippee-Ki-Yay… What a Mess: The Writing Flaws of Die Hard
In this episode, we take a hard look at Die Hard and strip away the nostalgia to examine its writing choices. From convenient coincidences and thin character logic to plot armor and questionable motivations, we break down where the script cuts corners—and why those flaws often get a free pass.
