After a lengthy production delay, we are back with a new episode, in which we review the 2006 NASCAR parody Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (starring Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, Sacha Baron Cohen, Amy Adams, Cary Cole, Michael Clarke Duncan, Jane Lynch and of course Mos Def). This episode is brought to you by Laughing Clown Malt Liquor.

The Throwback Show

Episode 74: 2006 - Talladega Nights

Office Space turns 20 in 2019, so we decided to go back to a time of TPS reports, PC load letter, Swingline staplers, Chotchkie's, Flingers and consultants named Bob. We break down the incredibly deep cast (Ron Livingston, Jennifer Aniston, David Herman, Ajay Naidu, Diedrich Bader, Stephen Root, John C. McGinley and of course Gary Cole) and hit as many of the best quotes as we can in an hour. www.thethrowbackshow.com

Episode 73: 1999 - Office Space

It's a movie that has never really left our radar for 30 years, but we caught some things we didn't expect when watching it with pen and paper in hand. Join us as we spend 77 minutes with relentless stalker Jake Taylor, Wild Thing Vaughn, Pedro Cerrano, Wille Mays Hayes, Roger Dorn, Harris, Lou Brown and Harry Doyle. It's Major League, starring Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, Rene Russo, Dennis Haysbert, Wesley Snipes, Corbin Bernsen, James Gammon, Chelcie Ross and Bob Uecker. www.thethrowbackshow.com (Here's the link to the McDonald's pizza ad we mentioned)

Episode 72: 1989 - Major League

After four years and more than 70 episodes, we finally hit our first Wes Anderson movie, and it stirred up some surprising reactions. It turns out that The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (starring Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Cate Blanchett, Anjelica Huston, Willem Dafoe and Jeff Goldblum) is a polarizing movie. Either way, it was fun to revisit this  15 years after its release — depending on who you ask. www.thethrowbackshow.com 

Episode 71: 2004 - The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

Aaron and Dan join Matt to revisit School of Rock (Jack Black, Joan Cusack, Mike White, directed by Richard Linklater). 15+ years later, it did not disappoint. www.thethrowbackshow.com

Episode 70: 2003 - School of Rock

We're finally back with a new episode, in which we return to 1990 yet again to immerse ourselves in the world of My Blue Heaven (starring Steve Martin, Rick Moranis and Joan Cusack). For a couple of us, it's a mostly enjoyable trip down memory lane. For one of us, though, it raises a familiar question: Why? www.thethrowbackshow.com

Episode 69: 1990 - My Blue Heaven

Aaron and Dan join Matt for a trip back to 1989, the quest for eternal life, and most importantly, a tremendous bonding opportunity for father and son. It's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, starring Harrison Ford and Sean Connery. 

Episode 68: 1989 - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

After a lengthy summer hiatus, Aaron and Dan join Matt to break down a once-iconic summer blockbuster: Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (starring Bob Hoskins, Christopher Lloyd, Joanna Cassidy and Kathleen Turner as Jessica Rabbit). We all agree that this movie was a big deal in 1988, but disagree about how fun it actually is to watch it today. Also, Aaron was 43 minutes late for this episode and has been hit with a significant fine. www.thethrowbackshow.com

Episode 67: 1988 - Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Aaron and Dan join Matt for a thrilling (for some of us) trip back to 1990 and the delightfully ridiculous NASCAR movie Days of Thunder (starring Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Robert Duvall, Randy Quaid, John C. Reilly, Michael Rooker).  Check out our Days of Thunder vs. Talladega Nights - Tale of the Tape right here

Episode 66: 1990 - Days of Thunder

Aaron and Dan join Matt for a trip up to Vermont and a look back at Super Troopers (starring Jay Chandrasekhar, Broken Lizard and an almost impossibly good Brian Cox). We break down the movie's memorable gags (meow) and highlight our favorite quotes -- doing our best Brian Cox impersonations in the process. www.thethrowbackshow.com

Episode 65: 2001 - Super Troopers

Aaron and Dan join Matt to revisit a beloved movie from 1986 that we can't watch the same way today: Short Circuit (starring Ally Sheedy, Steve Guttenberg, Fisher Stevens). www.thethrowbackshow.com

Episode 64: 1986 - Short Circuit

Aaron and Dan join Matt for a look back to the 1990 Godfather spoof The Freshman (Marlon Brando, Matthew Broderick, Bruno Kirby, Penelope Ann Miller and Frank Whaley). We discuss how they pulled off the scenes with the Komodo Dragons, relive our favorite quotes and much more. www.thethrowbackshow.com

Episode 63: 1990 - The Freshman

Aaron and Dan join Matt for a trip to Galaxy Con as we revisit the 1999 movie / Star Trek parody Galaxy Quest (starring Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shalhoub, Sam Rockwell). 

Episode 62: 1999 - Galaxy Quest

Almost in time for the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Aaron and Dan join Matt for a return trip to the planet Druidia and a look back at a childhood favorite -- Spaceballs (Mel Brooks, John Candy, Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, Daphne Zuniga, Joan Rivers). It was well worth it. www.thethrowbackshow.com

Episode 61: 1987 - Spaceballs

Aaron and Dan join Matt for a drive up to Grand Lakes University and a wild semester with Thornton Melon in Back to School (starring Rodney Dangerfield, Robert Downey Jr., Sally Kellerman, Keith Gordon, Burt Young). We analyze the movie's strange quirks relating to the sport of diving and consider the performances -- both painful and outstanding.

Episode 60: 1986 - Back to School

Each episode, The Throwback Show visits a different year from the past, reliving one of our favorite movies to see how well it holds up (or how badly in some cases). We also talk TV, music, video games and much more. Hosted by Matt Stroup, Aaron Cohen, Dan Fleschner, Mike Camerlengo and Zack Verhoff.
