By Grabthar's Hammer, What A Podcast gives tribute to recently deceased and beloved theater and film actor, Mr. Alan Rickman. From his villainous breakout roles as Die Hard's Hans Gruber and Robin Hood's The Sheriff of Nottingham, to his charming turns in Sense and Sensibility and The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, Alan Rickman captivated audiences with his Shakespearean charisma and mesmerizing voice.
By Grabthar's Hammer once again celebrate Rickman's hilarious turn as Alexander Dane in Galaxy Quest. The crew also somehow stumbles upon an analogy between Rickman's resurgence as a fan-favorite for a new generation as Severus Snape in the Harry Potter series and the band Green Day's equally interesting career trajectory. Hans Gruber is to Dookie as Severus Snape is to American Idiot. A bit of a stretch? You betcha.
By Grabthar's Hammer, you shall be remembered, Alan Rickman.
