#defconmovienight keeps the holiday magic going with another John Cusack vehicle. Join us Saturday at 8pm PST for 'Better Off Dead'. We'll be in the movie-night-text channel of the Discord (discord.gg/defcon), calculating the street value of K-12. Closest guess without going over wins Fronch Toast.
