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 be real, this is just Dana Carvey doing a bunch of impressions, loosely tired together with a tired plot. Yes, there's racism. Throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com

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.

It stars Kathleen Turner, Christopher Lloyd, Kim Cattrall, Peter MacNicol, and Ruby Dee. The film has the distinction of being the first full-length feature to use computer-generated imagery for the synthesis of human visual speech. 2D warping techniques were used to digitally animate the mouth viseme shapes of the babies which were originally shot with their mouths closed. The viseme shapes were sampled from syllables uttered by the babies on the set. Baby Geniuses was almost universally panned by critics, who lambasted its acting, humor, special effects, writing, and directing, but it grossed $36.5 million worldwide against a production budget of $12 million. In 2004, it was followed by a sequel, Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2, which was a b

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?

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 description that you'd read on the back cover, but it should be. 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, "The Year With A Santa Claus." throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com

Hey there Squeakers, why don't come on down to our dog casino and raise the steaks? In this movie, Burt Reynolds plays Charlie, a city slicking street dog with a penchant for mischief. When Charlie gets killed, he goes to dog heaven, only to steal his life's stop watch and return to Earth, where he meets Anne-Marie, a little orphan girl who can talk to animals (who was also kidnapped by dogs??).

Happy Halloween! This year, we are opening up the gate to hell! ...and closing it with a love rocket? Join us as we watched this bizarre, "cult" horror movie where a group of kids accidentally open a gate to hell in the suburbans of 1980's American. throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com

Ok. Think of an actor from the 90s. That person is in this movie. In this movie, The Faculty, directed by Robert Rodriguez, the faculty of a rough suburban high school get taken over by parasitic aliens, bent on taking over the world. It is up to Frodo and his team of hobbits I think to stop the alien invasion by snorting drugs. If you haven't seen this movie before, stop what you're doing and watch it. throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com
