I would pay good money for a podcast where John Cusack explains his understanding of historical events with no access to Google or books
Maybe he mistakenly mixed up his copy of "Say Nothing" by Patrick Radden Keefe with his original script for Grosse Point Blank.
Blooming heck!
Always used to get that Margaret Thatcher stopping me at checkpoints in Belfast in the 80s and pointing her big gun at me.
“Does Perry Stroika mean nothing to you? Did she die in vain”

Trying very hard to be charitable here, is he implying state collusion with the UDA? (I know, I know, I’m reaching.)
Cusack reading between the lines of the security forces knowing in advance of the UDA assassination attempt & swapping their ammunition. Not unreasonable to assume Thatcher knew in advance & approved the operation. Weirdly, that means she actually saved his life.
Praise the lord there are high level Irish history understanderers like you to keep him right🙏😂
Maybe he relies on old Star Trek episodes instead?
"Being Gerry Adams". John Cusak lives inside Gerry Adam's head during the 1980s, managing to revise Northern Irish history. Cameron Diaz stars as Margaret Thatcher.
