Here's a special Christmas episode brought to your feed from KUOW's arts and culture podcast Meet Me Here:
The holiday season means trees, cookies, family, spirituality, or presents to many.
For Meet Me Here’s Dyer Oxley, it means it's time to watch his favorite Christmas movie — "Die Hard."
This 1988 action flick starring Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman has become a Christmas tradition for many.
But not everyone agrees that "Die Hard" can be a Christmas tradition.
Week in Review host Bill Radke is in that camp.
He challenges Dyer's "Die Hard" opinion in a special holiday throwdown.
Bill and Dyer debate a modern holiday question: Is "Die Hard" a Christmas movie?
