About this episode
Remember Better Off Dead? The 1985 fever dream starring John Cusack gave us ski-race rivalries, the guy who played Booger, Ricky’s mom casually blowing up during dinner, and a paperboy who’s built his entire personality around two dollars. We think we loved this movie. We’re pretty sure we quoted it. But does it actually hold up… or were we just 80s kids dazzled by stop-motion hamburgers and teenage melodrama? Join us as we head back to the slopes and find out if this cult classic is still comedy gold or if we’ve been owed a refund all along.
