Better Off Dead (1985)

For the final episode of season 1 of the Cult Film Club Podcast hosts Shawn. Paxton and Jaime tackle the pseudo-Christmas wackiness that is Better Off Dead from 1985.  Starring John Cusack as Lane Meyer, a clutzy teen with aspirations of skiingthe K-12 and winning back the girl who dumped him, the film is a live action cartoon of car races, jell-o snorthing, French exchange students, and anthromoporphic hamburgers rocking out to Van Halen.  Grab your book on how to pick up trashy ladies, your aardvark hoodie, and your fetal pig in a jar as we ponder the age of question of what the street value is of this mountain!
