Ep-18 Ink to Film: Nothing Lasts Forever (1979 Novel) part two

The guys finish out the second half of book that inspired Die
Hard, Roderick Thorp’s 1979 novel, Nothing Lasts Forever. Just
how different is it? Well, dramatically different, in some ways,
and Luke and James weigh the changes that the movie made compared
to the source material. Topics include: Joe’s growing numbness
toward killing, the relationship between Joe and Al, old men
being grumpy about the young people today, and then the guys have
a good laugh about a particular turn of phrase unique to the
novel. They go on to discuss the viability of the
firehose-jump-off-the-roof plan, wonder why the cops continue not
to believe Al, and finally discuss two HUGE departures from the
movie and theorize about why Thorp might have chosen to write the
novel the way he did.
