DIE HARD With a Podcast, Episode 5

Roderick Thorp’s NOTHING LASTS FOREVER

Simone Chavoor returns with yet another episode of Die Hard With a Podcast, her absurdly good podcast devoted to John McTiernan’s 1988 action masterpiece. Take a listen!

Almost a decade before there was Die Hard, there was Nothing Lasts Forever. While it sounds like a lost James Bond film, it’s actually the book that Die Hard was based on. That’s right – Die Hard was based on a book. Roderick Thorp was a crime novelist who met success with 1966’s The Detective, which first spawned a movie adaptation, and then a sequel: Nothing Lasts Forever. Simone and special in-studio guest Daniel Walker (who is special because he actually read the damn book) discuss the life of Roderick Thorp, the origins of Nothing Lasts Forever, and how the movie aligns with – and deviates from – the book that inspired it.

Stay tuned! As Simone releases new episodes we’ll send them your way, but if you want to ditch the middle man, you can subscribe to the podcast here on iTunes or follow the show via the official website.
