Happy Anniversary! We celebrated Three Way Theater's three year anniversary in style as Mike, Lumberjake, and JC invaded the New England Fan Fest 7 hanging out in 'Podcast Row' and talking with various fans and vendors from the event which took place live from the Crowne Plaza in Warwick, RI.
They're joined by the craziest shell-head professional wrestling has ever known in Steve "The Turtle" Weiner (@SteveTheTurtle), a maniac once some apricot brandy touches his lips (do turtles have lips?). Steve hangs out trying to sell the boys on a masked spider gimmick while crooning some tunes leading to a big finale singing "Jive Soul Bro."
We also speak with film director Richard Chandler (@BostonUndead), who was on hand at Fan Fest to promote his pro wrestling horror film Parts Unknown! We were psyched to speak with him and purchased the DVD so we would be able to formally review it for an upcoming episode. You can find more information about Rich and his production company at https://www.bostonfilmfamily.com!

Plus we get words with The Colony's Green Ant, Ms. Peacock herself Sierra, JP Griffin, "Insane" Dick Lane, and a fantastic BUH-BYE from the legend himself Cody Boyns!
We'll be uploading additional episodes from Fan Fest featuring interviews from Mario Mancini, Paul Roma, MLW World Champion "Filthy" Tom Lawlor, NE Pro Hall of Famer Ebony Blade, the Defense of BodySlam with Atlee Greene, and more!

We’re back with another edition of Three Way Theater with the B I G four oh as we finally review 1991's Pro Wrestling TV Movie of the failed television pilot Tag Team starring “Rowdy” Roddy Piper and Jesse “The Body” Ventura” as pro wrestlers turned police officers (??).
Mike, Lumberjake, and JC also discuss the amazing TV commercials from 1991, if Tag Team is a secret sequel to Bodyslam, and if a piano could actually smash through a building wall and obliterate a pick up truck parked below.
You can watch Tag Team NOW on YouTube, along with its amazing commercials included.

Yabba Dabba, Eh?
It's another episode of Three Way Theater as Mike, Lumberjake, and JC return to the world of pro wrestling animation as they review The Flintstones & WWE: Stone Age Smackdown! Can Fred, Barney. Wilma and the gang compare to the adventures of Scooby-Doo? (SPOILER: They can't).
Bedrock gets bodyslammed in this no-holds-barred animated special featuring Fred, Barney and the whole gang meeting up with stone age versions of the WWE superstars and divas! When the prehistoric pals attend their very first WWE Live Main Event, they come face to face with Vince McMagma (voiced by Vince McMahon), John Cenastone (voiced by John Cena), CM Punkrock (voiced by CM Punk), Goldbolder (voiced by Bill Goldberg), Nikki and Brie Boulder (voiced by Nicole and Brianna Garcia) and others for a rockin' adventure that pulls no punches!
The boys really struggled to stretch this out to a full length episode just as much as the producers did to make this a 'feature film', but they sure try! The guys talk Ghostbusters 3, Mikey gives everyone their own Bedrock names, and the guys meander along to a limp conclusion (just like this movie).
The Flintstones & WWE: Stone Age Smackdown is available on YouTube, purchase at your own risk.

MUCH. MORE!

THE GIRLS ARE BACK IN TOWN and the boys are here to review them as Mike, Lumberjake, and JC sit down for Episode #31 of Three Way Theater talking about the first five episodes of GLOW Season 2!
The guys talk about Sheila the She-Wolf and the roles she auditioned for in Season 1, the fall of Sam Sylvia, and the duality of Season 2's characters while exploring the #MeToo movement under the microscope of the 1980s. But they also talk about syringe usage, enemas, and hum the Blue Blood theme.. So you know, an average episode of TWT.
Alison Brie stars as Ruth Wilder, an out-of-work actress living in Los Angeles in the '80s. Wilder finds an unexpected chance at stardom: enter the glitter and spandex-laden world of women's wrestling, where she must work alongside 12 other Hollywood misfits. Marc Maron plays the role of Sam Sylvia, a washed-up director of "B" movies who tries to lead the group of women to fame.
All 10 episodes of GLOW Season 2 are now available on Netflix! We'll be back with Part Two in the next couple of weeks where we'll discuss the final five episodes.

While we had the best of intentions to record a Best in Show this past week (sorry Adam!), things didn't end up going our way. Luckily for us recent inductee into the New England Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame Beau Douglas was hanging about, and foolishly agreed to let us interview him.
Our main goal was to discuss Beau's appearance on the 1999 episode of MTV's True Life: I'm a Pro Wrestler, but we soon began talking about his training with Walter 'Killer' Kowalski, the real star of the MTV reality doc "Mr. USA" Tony Atlas (and Dawna!), the early differences between MA wrestling and RI wrestling, the ECW "Mass Transit" incident, who's handsy in wrestling, and so much more!
Beau was even gracious enough to answer one of Three Way Theater's long standing questions, but you'll have to wait until the very end of the episode to get this rumor resolved.
With special appearances from Channing Thomas Timmy Thunder and Brian Cairo, this is our most packed Minicast yet (and the closest we'll probably ever get to doing a live show)!
EPISODE #30 IS COMING!

Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Doctor Sam Beckett led an elite group of scientists into the desert to develop a top secret project, known as QUANTUM LEAP. Pressured to prove his theories or lose funding, Doctor Beckett, prematurely stepped into the Project Accelerator and vanished. He awoke to find himself in the past, suffering from partial amnesia and facing a mirror image that was not his own. Fortunately, contact with his own time was made through brainwave transmissions, with Al, the Project Observer, who appeared in the form of a hologram that only Doctor Beckett could see and hear. Trapped in the past, Doctor Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, putting things right, that once went wrong and hoping each time, that his next leap will be the leap home... and not get murdered by Terry Funk.
On the latest episode of Three Way Theater the boys devote the show to the Funker, one of the stars of Beyond the Mat (Episode #30) and a true TWT All-Star. But before diving into his appearance on Quantum Leap Jake brings us a weird gem from the late 90s with Beyond Belief: Fact of Fiction featuring Funk and fellow TWT alum Gene Lebell!
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWI57cXfVTk]
Once the guys dig into the adventures of Dr. Sam Beckett JC's love of the series shines through, spoiling five years worth of story lines without regard. So if you're worried about spoilers for a show that's been off the air 24 years, hold off on listening till after you've binged this sci-fi hit.
All 5 seasons of Quantum Leap is available on Hulu, and you can watch the wrestling segment from Beyond Belief up above.

Thank goodness it’s TWT!
Mike, Lumberjake, and JC return to the world of television this week on Three Way Theater when they revisit some of the very offbeat pro wrestling episodes from ABC’s famous TGIF lineup, in addition to Netflix’s Full House revival Fuller House.
First up is the Family Matters episode "Psycho Twins", guest starring the lovable Bushwhackers… well lovable until they find out Carl is a COP. Step by Step steps into the squared circle with "Beautiful Ladies of Wrestling", or BLOW as Patrick Duffy directs an episode of TV where he’s thrown around the ring while wearing drag. The boys then review the 2nd wrestling episode from Boy Meets World with "Sixteen Candles and Four Hundred Pound Men" featuring Big Van Vader, Jake the Snake Roberts and a special appearance from Brother Love! Finally the crew jumps forward a couple decades to Fuller House, where the grown up DJ Tanner (Fuller) saves her dumbass kid via lucha libre and Stephanie Tanner is revealed to be an indy smart mark.
Family Matters, Step By Step, & Boy Meets World are all currently streaming on Hulu while Fuller House is available on Netflix!

And of course big ups to Trebuchet Band for their rendition of the Step by Step theme, which we used previously for our Slammed episode.
