287. Small Beautiful Things: How Die Hard Trains Your Eye (Patreon)
Content
Yippie Ki Yay, Mister Falcons! Abe returns with a lecture on Die Hard and how John McTiernan uses diagonal lines to draw your eye. Not very funny, but if you want to tell people while you're watching Die Hard that you kind of took film classes about it, that's up to you! So, yeah, Die Hard's great, you're great, and go watch it!
