LOVE when I get a break from the usual "Welcome to the 'Book Show' tell us about your Book" type interviews. I was on with Rob Fredette of HODGEPOD podcast and we discussed "Movies of the 1980's" (2-parter)....
TALKIN ”TOP GUN” , ”E.T.” AND ”DIE HARD” IN A TWO EPISODE SERIES WITH JOSEPH M LENARD
HODGEPOD with Rob Fredette
Joseph M Lenard author and podcaster joins HODGEPOD to talk about three movies E.T. 1982, TOP GUN 1986 and DIE HARD 1988. In the first episode Rob and Joseph discuss E.T. and TOP GUN. The second episode will be on DIE HARD will drop Wednesday August 23rd. These 3 films main character started out as themselves against the world. But after perseverance the tide turned for these characters. Henry Thomas as Elliot, Tom Cruise as Maverick and Bruce Willis as John McClane all share similar characteristics from the beginning of the movie to the climatic ending of each film. The world or authority against them. Other topics discussed -Top Gun as a patriotic film -E.T. not your typical scary space film -Die Hard as a Christmas movie. Rob and Joseph discussnthe reasons why Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Please give a follow and listen for HODGEPOD which can be heard on Apple , Spotify, IHEART and all podcast platforms. Recorded August 18, 2023
