00:00hello everyone this is going to be another one of those trying to fix the green screen there
00:10pardon another one of those odd ones right i'm wearing a merry christmas shirt
00:17to talk about die hard is it a christian movie or a christmas movie well it's october
00:27hence the title right die hard season is what i expect will probably be the title
00:34we're getting it's a wonderful life and you know all those christmas movies will be starting and
00:43die hard will be shown again over and over again because yes it's a christmas movie why do i know
00:52how do i know it's a christmas movie well first and foremost and before i say that i was on hodgepodge
01:01show a year maybe two years ago now check out that we talk about it's a wonderful life and die hard i'm
01:11not gonna retread the ground there uh that i did there so hodgepod you know like in hodgepodge
01:20of stuff hodge is his name hodgepod for podcast hodgepod okay anyway uh the writers of die hard
01:32say it's a christmas movie because they sat down to write a christmas movie it's about a guy seeking
01:40uh seeking uh uh seeking forgiveness it's about family him wanting to get together and restoring his
01:51family it's a redemption movie it's very much a christian christmas movie which all hell breaks
02:00loose and right he's there to do one thing and the thing that he was so good at and so focused on that
02:09that drove that wedge between him and holly there's a hint there right they didn't call them the
02:19tannenbaums that would have been a little too much of a you know subtle hints like her name being
02:27holly is one of the christmas hints in there and at the end you know the paper's coming down like snow
02:38in la but again a guy who was too focused on his job and his work
02:47why am i having green screen issues sir anyway whatever they stop my ocd focusing on something
02:59that's not really important what's important here is indeed the story a guy and thoughts and prayers
03:08to bruce willis the news has come out they put him in a home for 24 7 care for dementia uh he's not
03:19doing real well that's not why i'm doing this episode but since i am thoughts and prayers to bruce
03:28and his entire family he's not doing well but being a good cop a hard-nosed cop and focusing on
03:40the job that kind of put a little wedge in the family because the family didn't think that he was paying
03:47enough attention to them and whatnot and why holly felt like she needed to leave and get a new beginning
03:55blah blah blah blah it was that bad that now saves their asses sorry right but his hard-nosed cop-ness
04:08is what saves their asses now and brings them all back together by having saved them all and realizing
04:18the importance of family and togetherness and overlooking some issues right family forgiveness
04:28redemption very much christian and christian and christmas movie so it's like the movie signs m night
04:40shamalan right do you i hope you've seen that there will be spoiler alerts here
04:48my sister to this day calls it and a lot of people do oh that alien movie there was an alien at what
04:57five seven ten minutes tops it was a movie about a guy of faith losing his faith restoration of faith
05:12forgiveness redemption the why are we here why do bad things why does god sometime allow bad things
05:21happen to good people right spoiler the kid has asthma why why did
05:27you do this to my kid what it was the asthma that saves the child because when the alien
05:35tried to poison the child he was in an asthmatic state and his system closed up so the disease
05:45really was the cure that saved him it's a movie about faith it's a it's a christian faith movie
05:54but to this alien concept is involved right the bad things happen to good people and
06:06sometimes stuff happens but that is there to set up and tell the story of the man who lost his faith
06:19and regained it but to this day my sister included oh that alien movie no no that's not the point of the movie it's not what it's really about it's also like as an author myself terror strikes coming soon to a city near you terrorism right right there in the title oh oh it's about and only about terrorism no no
06:46no not really it's not about death and destruction it's about life and living it's a very non-traditional non-fluffy christian book about family and friends and life and living and cherishing life versus those who want to destroy life good versus evil it's very much a christian book the terrorism
07:13terrorism is what begins and leads the thread all the way through the end to be able to talk about all those other things and like the signs movie people either get it or they don't or my book they get it or they don't they they are so narrowly focused on the historical
07:35fact points that are in there for educational purposes because our education system so bad people don't know anything but that's the thread that ties it all together all the other important things the family friends
07:55faith faith life cherishing life and living and wanting to spread love and peace over hate and chaos
08:06it's the same thing with die hard
08:11some people are focused on
08:15the terrorists which
08:18like Hans said in
08:20says in the movie who said we're terrorists
08:23right
08:24they're criminals posing as terrorists so they can
08:28rob
08:29this building
08:31and
08:32a good timing to do it during the christmas holiday
08:37because
08:39you know security is kind of more
08:41lapsed we let our guard down
08:44that's the
08:46you know what that hits the fan that happens
08:51the bad stuff that can happen to good
08:53people to allow the story to be told of
08:57family
08:59and wanting forgiveness and redemption
09:02the importance of family
09:04very much
09:06i know i'm repeating myself again
09:08christian christmas movie
09:11now
09:13having said all that again
09:15and
09:15online you can find
09:18like the 12 days of christmas
09:20the 12 reasons why
09:22die hard is a christmas movie
09:26from the producers
09:27of die hard
09:29that explain to you various things like
09:31her name being holly
09:33it takes place at christmas because it's intended to be
09:37a christian christmas movie
09:39all the things that people
09:42avoid
09:44oh
09:45look
09:46crime
09:47terrorism
09:48crime
09:48terror
09:49he's a cop
09:50he's taking down some terrorists
09:52that's the vehicle
09:55like in my
09:57terror strikes books
09:59that ties
10:00the story thread together
10:03for the more important
10:05moral of the story
10:07subplot points
10:09in the film
10:11or in my book
10:13are in the movie
10:15signs
10:16that people to this day
10:18still don't grasp
10:19i love them like
10:21Shyamalan films
10:22they are very deep
10:24and they are often about
10:26other than what
10:27people
10:29try to project
10:31on them
10:32or people's
10:33basic

16:01right like
16:04being an
16:04author
16:05most of
16:08the time
16:09things are
16:10in there
16:11because there's
16:12an importance
16:13or a
16:14meaning a
16:15something even
16:18subconscious
16:19trying to be
16:20conveyed
16:21by the
16:23writers
16:23the producers
16:25the directors
16:26me as an
16:27author like
16:28uh recently
16:30let me hold
16:32this up
16:32right i
16:33hate giving
16:34away spoilers
16:35but i'm
16:35going to
16:35give away
16:36a spoiler
16:36the book
16:38of kennedy
16:38project
16:39curvy
16:39deal
16:40in the
16:42book
16:42the bunk
16:45beds
16:46all right
16:47that's
16:48the bunk
16:49bed scene
16:50you might
16:52think what
16:53in the
16:54when you
16:54read it
16:55what in
16:55the what
16:56is this
16:57have to
16:58do with
16:58anything
16:59maybe he's
17:00just trying
17:01to be weird
17:02and quirky
17:03well to
17:05some degree
17:06yes that's
17:08kind of part
17:08of the point
17:09but the
17:11bigger broader
17:12thing that i
17:14hope people
17:15get is the
17:16understanding
17:18of what
17:20compromises
17:21are you
17:22willing to
17:23make what
17:24allotments
17:25in life
17:26are you
17:27willing to
17:28make what
17:29are you
17:30willing to
17:30settle for
17:32less than
17:33ideal for
17:35a greater
17:36broader
17:37good
17:39longer
17:40term you
17:42know short
17:42medium and
17:43long term
17:44goals and
17:46aspirations
17:47what are you
17:48willing to
17:49potentially deal
17:51with and put
17:52up with or
17:53settle for
17:54here for
17:57greater
17:59better goals
18:00will be
18:02achieved
18:03accomplished
18:04seen later
18:05right so
18:08the bunk
18:09beds are
18:11a metaphor
18:12for
18:14again overall
18:17things in
18:18life
18:18human this
18:20is this
18:22reality
18:22isn't
18:23perfect
18:24there is
18:25never
18:26perfect
18:27never let
18:28good be
18:29held hostage
18:31to the
18:31notion of
18:32the perfect
18:33or whatever
18:34the official
18:35proper saying
18:36of that is
18:37i think you
18:38know what i
18:38mean right
18:39but so
18:40it's not just
18:41some stupid
18:42little quirky
18:43throwaway
18:44idiocy
18:45in the
18:47book of
18:48kennedy
18:48there's a
18:50greater
18:50bigger
18:51broader
18:52point
18:54trying to
18:55be made
18:55there
18:56but
18:57i can't
18:59you can't
19:00read my
19:01mind
19:01i can't
19:03read yours
19:04and i don't
19:05know the
19:05mood or the
19:06mindset you're
