Gene Lyons squealed. Roger asked, &#8220;Is that the one with the boombox?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Better Off Dead&#8221; truly is a movie that would not get made today: a little-known short-film director named Savage Steve casting an obscure young actor in a lead role about teen suicide, featuring Korean drag racers who only speak Howard Cosell, possible exchange student sex slavery, and stop-motion dancing hamburgers? What could be more &#8217;80s?<\/p>\n<p>This warm blanket of nostalgia took us back to Dick Ebert&#8217;s childhood memories of collecting G.I. Joe Flag Points and throwing piss bombs from his third-floor video gaming nest. And it unearthed Roger&#8217;s woeful tale of the breakup that ruined him for life.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Gene tells listeners why jumping is a terrible way to kill yourself and Old Man Dick Ebert rails against paperboy Johnny and his quest for $2.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Plot Summary: \u201cBetter Off Dead&#8221;<\/strong> Lane Meyer (John Cusack) is a teen with a peculiar family and a bizarre fixation with his girlfriend, Beth (Amanda Wyss).
