Happy Thanksgiving! In this special episode, we take a look at some classic (some more than others) Charlie Brown movies - It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown; A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving; and A Charlie Brown Christmas. Grab some hot cocoa, a warm blanket, and the ole pigskin as we take a look back at some of our favorite holiday movies. Throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com

I can't believe how deep we got talking about this silly movie. Bill Murray is a bumpkin who gets involved in some serious shit, but he believes it's all just an act! Will he learn his lesson and save the day, or will he bumble around and be a dummy? Or maybe both? Find out this week on Throwback Theater. Throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com

We know, we know, this is not a kid's movie, and it breaks our "no post-9/11" rule, but some of us saw this movie at too young an age. It stars Edward Norton, who plays Smoochy, a lovable kid's show host, as he is thrust into the seedy underbelly full of the crime and unsavory characters. Also starring Robin Williams, Danny DeVito (who also directed), Jon Stewart, Catherine Keener, and Harvey Fier...

Get. Off. My. Plane. In this movie, Harrison Ford is the president and he's kicking some Russian ass! On a plane! Throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com

Happy Halloween! Turn off the lights and join us for this very spooky episode full of demons, murder, and marijuana. In this movie, Devon Sawa is a slacker burnout whose hand gets possessed by the devil and goes on a killing spree! But with the help of his buddy, Seth Green and Elden Hensen, he sets out to save the hot neighbor, Jessica Alba, before she's dragged to hell. Also featuring Vivica A....

We're getting both spooky and international! Join us as we watch this Brazilian treat full of witches and wizards and magic and weird sock puppet things. It's everyone's favorite, for sure. Throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com

Our first Twin Twin Michelle movie! (AKA Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) In this movie, the twins have to save their family's home by saving their rich aunt from their witch aunt. You know, that classic trope. Along the way, they meet the tin man, the cowardly lion, and the scare crow. I think. Throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com

You know the movie. Throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com

Dragons Forever (Chinese: 飛龍猛將) is a 1988 Hong Kong martial arts action comedy film directed by Sammo Hung, who also starred in the film, and co-directed by Corey Yuen. The film co-stars Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, Pauline Yeung, Deannie Yip, Yuen Wah, Roy Chiao, and Crystal Kwok. It is the last film in which Hung, Chan and Biao all appeared in together, as later Chan subsequently focused on his s...

AUDIO FIXED AND RE-UPLOADED! Please see the description for "Ep 160 - See Spot Run" for more information. Sorry about the mess. Throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com

AUDIO FIXED AND RE-UPLOADED! We're sorry for the shitty audio in the original upload. We fixed the issue, but Spotify didn't want to update the new file. So, unfortunately, we had to completely delete the files for this track (and the next one) and re-upload. I hope this one is a bit more listenable. It still is a bit boomy, due to the microphone that I (Eric) was using. We have got a new mic and...

This is the story of West, Jim West, Desperado. He's a rough rider and you don't want nada. This movie is super horny. Featuring Will Smith, Kevin Kline, Salma Hayek, Kenneth Branagh, and of course, M. Emmett Walsh. Sorry about the bad audio in the previous episode. But good news - we've fixed it! We also have a lot more stickers, so if you want one, write to us at throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.co...

The boys really take a journey with this one, all the down south, to the city of gold. Join us as we go all the way back to 2000 to take a look at "The Road to El Dorado" featuring Kevin Kline, Kenneth Branagh, Rosie Perez, and the musical styling of Sir Elton John.

Summer break is over, losers. We finally got to it, and we're taking a look at 2002's "The Master of Disguise" (yes, we're breaking our 'no post-9/11 movies rule) Starring Dana Carvey, Jennifer Esposito, and Data from Star Trek. In this movie, Pistachio Disguisey (Carvey) learns he has the ability to disguise as anyone and anything and needs to use these new powers to save his father. But, let's b...

This week, the boys get CANCELLED. I am so, so sorry. Starring Richard Dreyfuss, Jenna Elfman, Lily Tomlin, and Natasha Lyonne. I really, really don't want to tell you what the plot is. Let's keep this one on the down low. But I will say this episode includes a history Throwback Theater First!

The boys take a look at 1998's "A Simple Wish" starring Martin Short, Kathleen Turner, and Mara Wilson. This movie is so bland that I felt the only way to really represent it was to make the blandest description. throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com

I'm tired and lazy so here's the first few paragraphs of the movie from Wikipedia. Baby Geniuses is a 1999 American family comedy film directed by Bob Clark and written by Clark and Greg Michael, from a story by Clark, Steven Paul, Francisca Matos, and Robert Grasmere. It stars Kathleen Turner, Christopher Lloyd, Kim Cattrall, Peter MacNicol, and Ruby Dee. The film has the distinction of being the...

Here come the Men in White! Join us for this forgotten National Lampoon made for TV movie, a supposed parody of "Men in Black" but really more a parody of Independence Day and Dr. Strangelove? Is it so bad it's good or just simply bad? I guess it depends which one of us you ask. Write to us at Throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com and we'll give you a "Jerk Me Off and Meet Me On The Moon" sticker cuz...

BABAY I can feel ya like a kiss from a rose on the grey OOH the more eh feel the stranger I feel yeaahh. That song is now stuck in your head. You're welcome. This week, the boys take a look at Batman Forever, starring Val Kilmer, Nicole Kidman, Jim Carrey, and Tommy Lee Jones. Don't act like you don't know the movie. throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com. Write to us if you want a sticker.

We're back, and this one is not a dinosaur's tale. This week we take a look at a local, Pittsburgh film, "Inspector Gadget" starring Matthew Broderick, Rupert Everett, Andy Dick, and Michelle Trachtenberg. In this film, we get to see all the beautiful sights of Pittsburgh as our hero hoses down his love interest with 5 gallons of toothpaste from his sleeve. That's probably not the official descrip...

2023 Season Finale! Thank you all for listening, and thank you all for being patient with us this past month. Please write to us at throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com and let us know what movies you'd like us to review in 2024! Thanks again, and we'll see you all in the future.

Merry Christmas! Let's talk about "Gremlins". It's about Christmas and gremlins and about how having gremlins during Christmas can really lead to a bad time. I think. throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com

Hello Everyone. We decided to skip recording this week, but we'll be back for two more before our winter break. I hope you like this Rerun of one of our first Christmas movies - Christmas Every Day, recorded in the winter of 2016, way down in a dirty basement on the west end. Thank you so much for listening this year. I hope you've had as much fun as we've had.

Let's get into the holiday season this year by sitting down and watching a classic, drinking some hot tea, and catching Covid-19. For reference, this is the 1974 made for TV classic, "The Year Without A Santa Claus" by Rankin/Bass, not the 2006 made for TV classic, "The Year Without A Santa Claus." Sorry about the poor "Zoom" quality audio. We tried our best. Much like the 2006 made for TV classic...
