In the sixth episode of Jason and Robert Watch Old Movies, we revisit HIGH FIDELITY, the romantic dramedy adapted from Nick Hornby's novel that made John Cusack a pop culture icon. In true Extra Buttery fashion, we branch off on all sorts of tangents, including director Stephen Frears' other works, the movie's similarities to Kevin Smith films, Jack Black's scene-stealing performance and how Cusack's main character goes from selfish man-child to maturing adult.
