It's the 75th episode which means that it's time for the co-host from the couch, Brad Davis, to pick the film! Widely considered the best action flick; it's DIE HARD with guest and friend of the show RUSSELL DILLULIO! Chris and Brad forget to do any vocal warm-ups, they discuss a holy trinity of action movies, and Russ describes the film as "a beautiful love story between two cops".
