Isaac and Will both adore Die Hard, but it's fair to say that not all Die Hards are created equal. Taking that into consideration, they decided to pit them against each other in a Fave/Off: Die Hard (1988) vs Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995), followed by Die Hard 2 (1990) vs Live Free or Die Hard (2007). And please don't bring up the fifth one; it's triggering.
Warning: We spoil these movies. If you haven't seen them... well they're old, so spoilers are fair game.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
