Have A Tight Christmas

An Uncensored Video on the Setups and Payoffs in Die Hard

Merry Christmas eve eve! I know I’ve been a bit slack lately, but just in the last week, I made a quick short about Christmas cartoons, and a longer one about the ultimate Christmas movie, Die Hard.

First, the short—

My wife and I watch Die Hard every Christmas. I never get tired of it; I just love all the little details and connections sprinkled throughout. So, I made a video illustrating every single setup and payoff (along with foreshadowing, Chekhov's Guns, callbacks, brick jokes, running gags, Gilligan cuts, and anything else I think kinda fits).

The uncensored Die Hard video is after the paywall. For free subscribers, I’ll upload it to YouTube and post it here on the TMFS Substack tomorrow, Christmas Eve.
