by Throwback Theater
You know those movies that you loved as a kid? What ever happened to them? Maybe you remember grabbing a random VHS cover off the shelves at Blockbuster, but you can't quite remember the title. Or perhaps you loved a strangely specific scene from some bizarre film your cousin owned, but you can't really recall the plot. We've got good news for you. In Throwback Theater, our four hosts will track down and revisit these old movies to answer one question: Does It Hold Up? Each episode, a new movie will be reviewed and discussed as mostly sober adults to figure out what we remember, what we liked about it in the first place, and how we feel about it now. Join us in our quest to relive (or maybe destroy) our childhood.

Ep. 169 - Death To Smoochy

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!
