Welcome back to the electrifying realm of "Planet Bruce" with your favorite brothers, Aleks and Milenko! In this episode, they're diving headfirst into the explosive world of "Live Free or Die Hard," the fourth installment of the iconic John McClane series.This time around, McClane has a new sidekick in the form of Justin Long. While their chemistry isn't bad, the writing doesn't quite hit the mark for snappy comedic timing, leaving some jokes falling flat. But fear not, because the movie has its share of great moments, thanks to excellent casting choices like the amazing Maggie Q, Timothy Olyphant, Mary Elizabeth Winstead (cue the "but my daughter is IMPORTANT" nod for our loyal audience), Cliff Curtis, and a memorable, if slightly awkward, cameo by Kevin Smith as a tech guru.Amidst the hits and misses, the standout performance comes from Timothy Olyphant, who brings a modern twist to the classic John McClane-type bad guy. The movie takes a bold step by delving into the realm of principled domestic terrorism, a "fire sale" scenario where "everything must go," illustrating the frightening potential of using the internet to disrupt every aspect of life. Intriguingly, the script was inspired by a speculative science and tech magazine article, blending the imagined scenario seamlessly into the John McClane lore.While the attempt to up the stakes from the previous movie may have left "Live Free or Die Hard" feeling a bit bloated and forgettable, the brothers bring their classic dynamic and excited candor to elevate the conversation. Join them as they dissect the highs, lows, and the fascinating intersections of technology and action in this episode of "Planet Bruce." It might not be a great movie, but it certainly makes for an excellent conversation that you won't want to miss. Tune in and brace yourself for a rollercoaster ride through the Die Hard universe!

Rocky IV: Rocky single handedly takes on communism and defeats it. The bros were seriously disappointed with this classic film, but had a fucking blast talking about it nonetheless. Once again Kays was unable to join the bros for this conversation however he leaves the audience with a wonderful message RE: this movie. What more to say about this movie? Just listen to the ep

Rambo: First Blood Part 2 is an action movie with an identity crisis. The real battle happens between the film's two credited writers: Sly and Jimmy Cameron. This movie doesn't ever fully commit to what it wants to be or what it wants to comment on, instead choosing to lean heavily on signs and signifiers of good and evil. A far cry from the morally amorphous, deep and intense emotional exploration of the first film. Rambo 2 does ultimately deliver on some excellent and compelling mindless action. The bros are joined once again by 3rd host Leila who provides her usual profound insight and lolz hottakes. Not an episode to miss!

Rhinestone is such an interesting outlier in the Stallone cannon in that it is basically a musical and fully a Dolly Parton vehicle. A classic fish out of water story with some zany and silly twists! Dolly radiates in this role. She is compelling every moment she is on screen and her voice is pristine. Not to mention the 18 track soundtrack she wrote for this movie which is fantastic. Really this is an episode dedicated to Dolly Parton. The bros are joined this week by multi media Toronto legend and personality: Brandon Lim who brings with him a wealth of energy and in a T4M first does a dramatic reading of the song Drinkenstein! Def not an episode to miss!

Rambo the icon does a great disservice to Rambo the main character from First Blood - a fascinating portrayal of a Vietnam war vet and the depths of PTSD along with a full throated critique of authoritative over reaching structures of power. It's a riveting and gripping adventure movie with realistic high stakes and it coupled with such a compelling dramatic story of a hurt and damaged human. Beautiful film. Third host Leila joins the brothers to help delve into the depths of this classic film. Don't miss this classic T4M ep of a classic movie!

Rocky III continues the familiar in-world movie trope of beginning the film with the glorious ending of the last film. At this time in 1982 we get an interesting parallel where both the character of Rocky and Stallone the actor have transcended into super stardom and this movie sort of winks at the audience a bit with some knowing internal Rocky universe acknowledgments. Kays returns to Rocky analysis duties providing the brothers with some compelling parallels between Thirsty For More fav Schwartzy (Arnold) and Sly at this time. And thus the true cross comparisons between these two actors can truly begin.

Nighthawks is a gritty cop drama with an international terrorist twist. Originally intended to be part 3 of The French Connection this film has an amazing breakout Rutger Hauer performance and an ok Sly performance with excellent back up by Billy Dee. It is a strange movie tonally. Never quite gets there, but somehow manages to be gripping until the very end. Get into it!!!
