Happy New Years! And I'm sick. Our episode on the Super Mario Bros Movie from 1993 will be out... at some point. And then we'll be taking a little bit of a winter break and will be back in the Spring. Until then, I hope you enjoy this old, old episode of The Stupids, back when we used to drink too much and record with a shitty mixer in an cold, dirty basement. If you have any movie recommendations, please feel free to write to us at throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com! We'd love to hear from you! Have a great New Years! facebook.com/throwbacktheaterpodcast

Let's see how that goes. facebook.com/throwbacktheaterpodcast throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com

The year is 3048 or something or other. The Earth has been blown up. Humans are scattered around the universe.

Eeek! They're back! The boys and the Addams family that is! In this episode, we take a look at the 1993 sequel to "The Addams Family."

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! Today, instead of airing "The Addams Family Values", we decided to rebroadcast an old episode, back when we were recording in a very cold basement, not knowing that we would still be doing this show years later. We'll be back next week with the Addams Family, but until then, we're super thankful for all of our listeners, friends, and family. Thank you all. Have a great Thanksgiving, and we'll see you next week. facebook.com/throwbacktheaterpodcast throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com

This in episode, the guys take a look at 1996's Harriet the Spy, featuring Michelle Trachtenberg, Rosie O'Donnell, Eartha Kitt, and Venssa Lee Chester. None of us had seen this before, which was actually quite surprising to realize. We were all expecting a sort of Agent Cody Banks style sleuth thriller, but what we got was an honest, slice of life story about a young girl growing up. Harriet fancies herself as a spy and keeps tabs on her friends and neighbors, but when her notebook falls into the wrong hands, she quickly becomes the local foe and enemy to her friends and classmates. What will she do to earn back their respect? How do three men in their thirties feel about this movie, after seeing it for the first time? Will Chris make a sudden reappearance?

Trying to answer the real question - Does this movie WHOMP? This week, the boys look back at Recess: School's Out, the sort of capstone movie to the Recess TV. It's the start of summer break for TJ and the crew, but everyone is going off to different summer camps, leaving poor TJ behind for the entire summer. However, TJ accidentally stumbles upon a plot involving their school, the moon, a psychotic ex-principal, and what is quite possibly the end of summer break forever! Will TJ and the gang be able to save summer, or will the whole world be forced into a new ice age? Find out this week on TT. facebook.com/throwbacktheaterpodcast throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com

Scheduling is hard. Here's a rebroadcast of an old episode. Next week: Recess: School's Out! facebook.com/throwbacktheaterpodcast throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com

This one gets a little off the rails. The boys sit down to discuss the Daniel Stern movie, "Bushwhacked" which was originally conceived as a spin off to Home Alone. Daniel Stern plays Max Grabelski (who is essentially Marv from Home Alone), a sleazy delivery man who gets mixed up with some bad folks and framed for murder. Grabelski goes on the lam and gets accidentally mistaken as a camp scout leader (not unlike Meet the Deedles) and has to lead a group of scouts on an overnight hike with the FBI, parents, and bad guys on his heels. Hijinx ensue. facebook.com/throwbacktheaterpodcast throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com Write to us to claim your free "Up Yours Blue Boy" sticker!

Summer break is over, but not before we watch some of these Summer classics! This week, the guys watch the forgotten Paul Walker Disney Original, Meet the Deedles. In this movie, twin brothers, Phil and Stew Deedle, are sent by their ultra-wealthy father from their dreamy Hawaiian home to a survivalist camp in Jackson Hole. But soon, the twins are mistaken for a pair of new camp rangers at Yellowstone National Park where they're tasked with eliminating the recent Prairie Dog problem and stumble into a plot to overthrow the park and capture Old Faithful! Also featuring Dennis Hopper, Robert Englund, A.J. Langer, and Steve Van Wormer. facebook.com/throwbacktheaterpodcast throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com Write to us to claim your free sticker!
