Synopsis
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 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. 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 week, 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.

TT ReRun: First Kid

So, I'm taking us all the way back to one of our original episodes, recorded in the basement back when 3/4 of the guys all lived together. We'll be back next week to talk about all your favorite parts from Molly Shannon and Will Farrell in "Superstar"!
