Episode 797: Die Hard: With Defendants

Episode notes

YIPPEE KIYAY, Judge John Lovers! Friends Katie and Mike have a dispute about the movie DIE HARD. And NO, it’s not about whether or not DIE HARD is a Christmas movie!

Katie maintains that it is completely unrealistic to expect that hero John McClane’s gun would remain strapped to his sweaty, bloody back – no matter how strong that holiday packing tape may be. Mike says it’s even MORE unrealistic to expect that the villainous Karl survived as long as he did. Will Katie’s gun evidence weigh more in her favor than Karl hanging from a chain and then reviving from the dead? Who’s right? Who’s wrong?

t’s that time of year! We’re looking for all of your Holiday-related disputes – AND RECIPES! That’s right, the Judge John Hodgman Holiday Office Party is back, and we’re counting on YOU to make it weirder than ever.

Evidence from DIE HARD: WITH DEFENDANTS

The weight of John McClane's gun is roughly the same as a full can of soda and a frozen water bottle. Too much for packing tape to hold!

How is that tape sticking to this mess?

How does Karl even get down?

Do we think anyone noticed Karl?

Late evidence from Producer Jennifer: John McClane is still very bloody after his plunge into the water feature!
