Show Notes
Savage Steve Holland's 1985 silly breakup ski comedy, BETTER OFF DEAD, is our feature presentation this week. We discuss the autobiographical beginnings of the story, John Cusack's disdain for the film, the low-hanging fruit comedy, the Henry Winkler tie in, Curtis Armstrong, the classic villain from Porky's popping up, and much more. We also pick our TOP 7 JOHN CUSACK MOVIES in this week's SILVER SCREEN 7. Check out the show, subscribe and become a regular here at THE BROKEN VCR!
