My Take
Savage Steve Holland is one of those filmmakers whose sensibility I find irresistibly original. Better Off Dead and One Crazy Summer, both with John Cusack, fused teen comedy with surreal, animated weirdness in a way no one else quite matched in the mid-80s. The fact that he also animated the Whammy on Press Your Luck tells you his imagination never stayed in one lane. CalArts trained, he treated live-action like a cartoon and got away with it. I respect creators who refuse to sand off their strangeness, and his cult following is well earned. His voice still feels singular decades later.
