We seek to engage with the themes and philosophies behind our favorite stories, wrestling with the big ideas within speculative fiction. We’re unabashedly nerdy and unabashedly Christian.

In our 27th Dropping a Bruce episode, we tackle the 2022 straight-to-demand action thriller American Siege to decide if Bruce Willis was just phoning it in (Dropping a Deuce) or giving it his all (Dropping a Bruce). We break down this small-town siege flick, where Willis plays a sheriff caught in a messy hostage crisis with militia goons and a shady doctor. From cringe-worthy one-liners to low-rent shootouts, we dig into the best (or least bad) scenes, dialogue, and performances to see if there’s any redeeming spark. Is this worth a spot on your watchlist, or should you dodge this Die Hard-in-a-hick-town dud? Join us for our no-holds-barred verdict!
