ROAD HOUSE

It’s DIE HARD in a bar! (sort of).In this second episode, Phil and Liam analyze DIE HARD’s influence on ROAD HOUSE (1989), the bar-brawling cult classic starring Patrick Swayze as a philosophical uberbouncer hired to clean up the world’s most depraved drinking establishment. It’s a movie filled with a surprising amount of ‘DIE HARD DNA’, giving Phil and Liam plenty to discuss. Amongst other things, the boys also examine the film’s Kurosawa connections, rhapsodize over Sam Elliott (whom they suspect to be an immortal) and discuss the cinematic significance of casting the legendary Ben Gazzara as the movie’s charismatic villain Brad Wesley. This week’s trivia quiz also unearths some fascinating tidbits about 1980s popular culture.ROAD HOUSE trailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oByMeAfwARsAt the time of release, ROAD HOUSE is streaming for free on Netflix.DIE HARD ON A BLANK is created, written, and hosted by Philip Gawthorne.
