Either you’re a believer or you ain’t, but no one can deny the snappy success that is John McTiernan’s tower-heist story. With action and characters that catch even the least cinematically literate among us, Penfold Theatre goes all audio by translating the movie into radio. This’ll be the only weekend Penfold performs what they call a “Prairie Home Companion-style radio Christmas special” so if you like sound effects, fake explosions, and hearing an earnest “Yippee-ki-yay!” then get thee to the theatre. – James Scott
