In this lively and unapologetically opinionated episode of Parallel Frequencies, Just Blane and Coco dive headfirst into one of pop culture’s most persistent debates: Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Blane plants his flag firmly in the “yes” camp—then flips the table by declaring that It’s a Wonderful Life isn’t a Christmas movie at all. Coco, who admits she’s never seen Die Hard, braces for the internet’s wrath while exploring whether holiday settings alone define a “Christmas film.”

The conversation spirals into clever comparisons—like the classic argument that Indiana Jones doesn’t actually affect the plot of Raiders of the Lost Ark—and then shifts into a passionate review of Leonardo DiCaprio’s latest film. Blane breaks down why he believes it’s a top-tier Oscar contender, praising its pacing, layered storytelling, and powerhouse performances. Coco draws parallels to Taken, noting the film’s twist toward a more empowered daughter narrative.

If you love movies, hot takes, and the kind of banter that only Blane and Coco can deliver, this episode is a must‑listen.
