Grab our ponytails and hang on as we fly away to a magical land, a land of massive genies, evil sorcerers, overboard dogs, elaborate stabbing machines, terribly timed spells, giant spiders, and scrumptious sausage plates! That’s right, it’s 1940’s biggest winner at the Academy Awards, The Thief of Bagdad, directed by… [checks notes]… everyone? Give it a listen and enjoy!

Once upon a time, there were two not so young podcasters named Brent and David, and they took it upon themselves to watch Oscar-nominated films, review them, and talk about their award runs.

Now we have a new podcast. Ho-Ho-Ho.

Come back to TMBU, plug in the headphones, have a few laughs. In HatN’s first episode, Brent and David look back at John McTiernan’s action classic. Does Die Hard, a longtime favorite of ours, stand up to the test of time and a more critical look? Where do we stand on the Christmas movie question? And finally, was Die Hard snubbed at the Academy Awards, where it received four nominations (Film Editing, Visual Effects, Sound Editing, and Sound) but took home zero statues? Listener, bubby, we’re you’re white knights, answering all this and more just in time for your holiday season!
