The VHS Strikes Back
Better Off Dead (1985) | Surreal Cult Teen Comedy, Maximum 80s Energy | VHSSB

The VHS Strikes Back

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 7, 2026 55:04


Better Off Dead (1985) was chosen by supporter Susan, and it's one of the most distinctive teen comedies to come out of the mid-1980s. Written and directed by Savage Steve Holland, the film was conceived as a deliberately off-kilter alternative to the more conventional John Hughes–style comedies dominating the era. Holland drew heavily on surreal humor, cartoon logic, and exaggerated visual gags, aiming to make a live-action movie that felt closer to a Looney Tunes short than a traditional teen film. Produced by Warner Bros. on a modest budget, the movie was shot primarily in California and embraced a heightened, artificial look that matched its absurd tone.The production itself was famously contentious. Studio executives reportedly struggled to understand Holland's surreal approach, and star John Cusack later distanced himself from the film, feeling the final cut leaned too far into absurdity. Despite this, the filmmakers were given enough freedom to fully commit to the bizarre visual style, rapid-fire jokes, and unconventional editing choices. While Better Off Dead underperformed theatrically and received mixed reviews on release, it found a second life on VHS and cable television, where audiences embraced its oddball humor. Over time, the film has become a cult classic, celebrated for its unapologetic weirdness and its refusal to play by the rules of standard 1980s teen comedies.Checkout Susan's podcast Geek Girl Soup here.If you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:⁠⁠⁠NordVPN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠NordPass⁠⁠⁠Trailer Guy Plot SummaryThis winter… high school gets weird.From the twisted mind of Savage Steve Holland comes a teen comedy where nothing behaves like reality, logic takes a holiday, and every problem is dialed up to cartoon levels of insanity. When heartbreak hits and humiliation follows, one teenager spirals into a snow-covered nightmare filled with bizarre neighbors, aggressive paperboys, and challenges that demand absolute commitment.Better Off Dead — where teenage angst meets surreal chaos… and giving up is not an option.Fun FactsBetter Off Dead features several stop-motion and animated sequences, including the famous dancing hamburgers scene, created to mimic cartoon physics in live action.The aggressive paperboy character was played by Demian Slade, whose brief but intense performance became one of the most quoted elements of the film.Actress Kim Darby, who played the protagonist's mother, was already famous for her role in True Grit (1969), making her casting an unexpected generational crossover.Curtis Armstrong (later known for Revenge of the Nerds and Risky Business) appears in one of his early comedy roles, adding to the film's cult appeal.The movie's synth-heavy soundtrack, composed by Rupert Hine, became a cult favorite and was later released as a standalone album.The fictional foreign exchange student characters were deliberately written with exaggerated stereotypes to heighten the film's absurdist tone.Many of the film's jokes are delivered entirely visually, with minimal dialogue, reinforcing its reputation as a comedy that rewards repeat viewings.Better Off Dead is frequently cited by comedians and filmmakers as a precursor to modern surreal comedies, influencing later offbeat humor in film and TV.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Today is all about mega presences—performances with so much character, life, and musicality breathed into them by their actors that they seem to haunt an entire film and stick with you long after the credits have rolled and the house lights have come on. And we are thrilled beyond words to be joined by a one-of-one artist, the great Will Oldham! Jumping off from a rather intense skydiving scene in To the White Sea, Will talks to us about how you can craft a performance by drawing on formative experiences and memories of people you once knew. He also tells us about how you can perform for an audience by in some sense becoming the audience, and brings awesome insights to all of the Coens films we cover, often bringing in counterpoint scenes from other films that unlock the richness of the performances. Special thanks to Rebecca Bulnes and her grandmother Maria for helping us with the Spanish translation of a pivotal moment in Blood Simple in a brand new segment called To the White Sea: The Latin Beat. Coens Covered: No Country for Old Men, Fargo, The Man Who Wasn't There, Blood Simple, The Big Lebowski, Burn After Reading, True Grit, Inside Llewyn Davis Plus: Jackass 3D, Minnie and Moskowitz, Longlegs, One Battle After Another, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada Want to join the study group?

Emmy Winning writer (Last Week Tonight with John Oliver) and very funny standup comedian (People Pleaser) Josh Gondelman returns to The Spiel to talk about a film that most people probably forgot was produced by Steven Spielberg: 2010's True Grit starring Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, and Hailee Steinfeld in her first major role. Based on the Charles Portis novel, previously adapted as a starring vehicle for John Wayne, True Grit is about a young girl who hires a drunk and haggard Marshall to hunt down the man who killed her father. The Coen Bros wrote and directed this incredibly entertaining and highly quotable flick and Vespe and Gondelman delight in going back through the story, finding their favorite moments, and figuring out why the movie is so damn good, even if Spielberg had almost nothing to do with it.

Send us a textHave you ever needed something steady to hold onto when everything around you was shaking? "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms" might be the quietest anthem of faith ever written—not making a grand entrance, but showing up faithfully when your strength doesn't.Unlike hymns of triumph and majesty, this beloved gospel song speaks to our deepest vulnerabilities. Born from real heartbreak when composer Anthony J. Showalter responded to two former students who had lost their wives, the hymn transforms the promise of Deuteronomy 33:27 into a melody of comfort: "The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms."What makes this hymn extraordinary is how it's transcended its origins to become part of our cultural fabric. From Mahalia Jackson to Alan Jackson, from The Night of the Hunter to True Grit, these simple lyrics about divine support have resonated even in secular spaces. Yet behind its cultural reach lies theological depth wrapped in the simplest language—fellowship that brings joy, a pilgrim journey made sweeter by divine companionship, and freedom from fear not because life is safe, but because God is good and walks with us.Whatever wilderness you're walking through right now, this episode invites you to lean in—to the arms that never weaken, the promises that never fade, and the fellowship that never lets go. Join us as we discover why, generation after generation, believers have found such comfort in these simple words: "safe and secure from all alarms."SHOW NOTES:Leaning on the Everlasting Arms performed by Nathan Drake of Reawaken Hymns from the album Hymns of the Father from The Trinity Project.To purchase the digital album and any or all of the amazing Reawaken Hymns worship resources for Hymns of the Father.Lyric videos, chord charts, sheet music available for "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms” can be found on Reawaken Hymns.Acoustic version of this hymn also available from Reawaken Hymns.Support the show www.thebrightforever.comAll songs used by permission.

Todd only these two things): suspense and surprise. We analyze ways in which films create a “burden of knowledge” in the mind of the audience, and how this can dramatically affect the way scenes play out on a screen and behind our eyes. Sometimes you're ahead of the characters, and sometimes they're way, way ahead of you.

John Wayne brought more than 150 characters to life on film, but it was his turn as the pot-bellied, heavy-drinking, eye-patch-wearing U.S. Marshall Rooster Cogburn in “True Grit” that earned him his only Oscar.  And in this fun episode we revisit the classic 1969 Western “True Grit,” including a brief tribute to The Duke himself. How true did the movie hold to the book on which it was based? What personal struggles did Kim Darby, who played young Mattie, face during filming? Was there any truth to the widespread rumors of tension and fighting on set? And which scene from “True Grit” did John Wayne consider to be the best performance of his career?  Saddle up and head back to the Old West with us, alongside the rough but lovable Rooster Cogburn… the only role John Wayne ever reprised!

In addition to the questions concerning how we actually made the film, we also discuss the long history of westerns and the visual variety within the genre. We also reveal the story behind the push-in in the opening shot of the film, what was on location and what was on stage, and how we shot the river crossing scene. We later reflect on working with then-child actor Hailee Steinfeld, and we discuss the script's unique and engaging dialogue. We also reflect on the utility of cowboy hats and on the visual strength of westerns directed by John Ford and Sergio Leone, and we swap stories from our early-career, low-budget exterior shoots. Topics also include: film stocks, aspect ratios, lighting locations and sets, and nighttime nightmares shooting a black mare against a black sky. - Recommended Viewing: TRUE GRIT (2010) - This episode is sponsored by Aputure & Profoto

You Must Remember This
Henry Hathaway (The Old Man is Still Alive, Part 11)

You Must Remember This

Henry Hathaway started directing in the early 1930s and though he made movies of all genres, he was particularly associated with Westerns. This allowed him to ride out the 1960s making pretty much the same kinds of movies with the same stars (Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum) that he had been working with for decades. But shortly after the massive success of Hathaway's True Grit in 1969 – for which John Wayne won his only Oscar – the director felt he was being put out to pasture by a changing industry. His last film would be Hangup (also known as Super Dude) a work-for-hire that he claimed he took only as a favor to the producer, and which was dismissed at the time as a sop to the Blaxploitation trend - not least by Hathaway himself.
