A quintessential 1980s teen comedy, Better Off Dead starred John Cusack in one of his breakout roles as Lane, a heartbroken teenager who has lost the will to live after a breakup. When his former girlfriend finds a new love interest, Lane joins forces with French exchange student Monique and his best friend Charles on a mission that pushes him to live again.

Executive produced by SCAD professor of film and television Andrew Meyer, the film became a beloved cult classic for its pitch-dark humor, anything-goes gags, inspired claymation interludes, and zany heart. After the screening, Meyer will be joined by actors Diane Franklin (Monique), Amanda Wyss (Beth), Curtis Armstrong (Charles Le Mar), and other special guests for a reunion Q&A moderated by SCAD professor of film and television Michael Chaney.
