The Throwback Show

Aaron Cohen, Dan Fleschner and Matt Stroup join the roving party on Hampton Island as they revisit the 1989 treasure that is Weekend at Bernie's (Andrew McCarthy, Jonathan Silverman and Terry Kiser as the mostly dead Bernie Lomax). Plus, the debut of a brand new and possibly irritating 1989-themed trivia game. For more on this episode, check out www.thethrowbackshow.com/blog.

Aaron Cohen and Dan Fleschner join Matt Stroup to revisit the nearly perfect (in some of our opinions) Arnold Schwarzenegger movie The Running Man (starring Maria Conchita Alonso, Yaphet Kotto, Jim Brown, Jesse Ventura, Richard Dawson / based on the novel by Richard Bachman aka Stephen King). We consider our favorite stalkers (RIP Subzero), our favorite quotes (10-year prison reunion) and more. Plus, an action-packed round of '87 movie trivia -- with questions on Summer School, Roxanne and Adventures in Babysitting.

Mike Camerlengo and Zack Verhoff join Matt Stroup to relive the unforgettable experience of American Pie (Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, Alyson Hannigan, Shannon Elizabeth, Tara Reid, Seann William Scott, Eugene Levy, Natasha Lyonne, Mena Suvari). We discuss the (possibly accidental) excellence of Oz, a highly underrated Jim, a very unethical webcam scene and more. Plus, a conversation with two owners of a real-life pie shop whose lives were forever altered by the film.

Aaron Cohen and Dan Fleschner join Matt Stroup to revisit the strangely delightful world of Get Shorty (based on the Elmore Leonard novel, starring John Travolta, Gene Hackman, Rene Russo, Danny DeVito, Delroy Lindo, Dennis Farina, James Gandolfini and Jon Gries aka Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite). Plus, we choose our favorite movies, TV shows and songs from 1995 while once again being banished to Throwback Island. For more, check out www.thethrowbackshow.com.

Guest host Steve Brandano joins Matt Stroup, Mike Camerlengo and Zack Verhoff for an in-depth look at the futuristic mystery I, Robot (starring Will Smith, Bridget Moynahan, James Cromwell and sort of Shia LaBeouf). We consider the best and worst moments, and Steve brings us his top five quotes. Plus, an interview with two renowned robot inventors. For more, check out www.thethrowbackshow.com.

Aaron Cohen and Dan Fleschner join Matt Stroup to review an absurdly silly and/or completely horrendous (depending on your vantage point) movie: Who's Harry Crumb? (starring John Candy, Jeffrey Jones from Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Annie Potts from Ghostbusters). Plus, some movie trivia from 1989, including questions on Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Weekend at Bernie's and, a favorite of this podcast: The Burbs.

Mike Camerlengo and Zack Verhoff join Matt Stroup for a visit to 1980's Hong Kong and a breakdown of the movie Bloodsport (Jean-Claude Van Damme, Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker, Donald Gibb -- aka Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds -- and Bolo Yeung). We consider everything from Chong Li's brutal fighting style to Frank Dux's wardrobe. Plus, a visit from the two announcers who called the event -- two men who remain scarred by what they saw to this day. For more, check out www.thethrowbackshow.com/blog.

Dan Fleschner joins Matt Stroup for a trip back to the glorious 1970's and a deconstruction of the bodybuilding docudrama Pumping Iron (starring Arnold Schwarzenegger before he became Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Lou Ferrigno before he became The Incredible Hulk). We highlight our favorite quotes, and consider why we can't help rooting for Arnold despite his obnoxious behavior. For more, visit www.thethrowbackshow.com/blog.

Mike Camerlengo and Zack Verhoff join Matt Stroup for a long overdue trip to the Santa Carla boardwalk, and a full-scale breakdown of the vampire classic The Lost Boys (Kiefer Sutherland, Jason Patric, Dianne Wiest, Corey Feldman, Corey Haim, directed by Joel Schumacher). Plus, an unexpected visit from the two protagonists from the hit video game Contra, Bill "Mad Dog" Rizer and Lance "Scorpion" Bean.

Aaron Cohen and Dan Fleschner join Matt Stroup to dissect the highly entertaining film Sneakers (starring Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, Dan Aykroyd, River Phoenix, Mary McDonnell, David Strathairn, Stephen Tobolowsky; directed by Phil Alden Robinson). Plus, we decide what from 1992 will come with us to Throwback Island: a place where you're trapped for the rest of your life, but can only bring three things -- a movie, a TV show and a song -- to entertain you.
