This is something we don’t talk about enough.
In this clip from our review of Better Off Dead, we break down why John Cusack worked so well in 80s movies:
- Not a supermodel
- Not a cartoon heartthrob
- Just an average-looking guy with incredible everyman energy
He’s the kind of character:
- You’d want to hang out with
- You’d grab a drink with
- You’d root for
- You might even marry
Hollywood doesn’t cast “that guy” the same way anymore—and honestly? We miss it.
