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.

Happy WrestleMania Day!
Whether you're watching live from New Jersey New York or sitting from the comforts of home almost every wrestling fan alive will be doing their best to convince themselves they still love pro wrestling while sitting through 7.5 hours of sports entertainment.
But the question always remains, what is the worst match in Mania' history? Thanks to the tireless efforts of Three Way Theater wrestling historian Lumberjake, Jake has compiled the list of the lowest rated matches from the first 34 WrestleMania's as rated by Dave Meltzer omitting the DUDs and unrated matches. So don't get mad at us that Akebono vs. Big Show or the Miller Lite Cat Fight isn't in this tournament!
The boys watch each of the 'Stink Sixteen' as they seek out the very worst in show. So if you've got a long commute from NY/NJ or just need a break from Mania plug into your favorite podcast app and enjoy this very special BONUSODE! [insert air guitar]
Who's your pick to go to the Finals?

PAIGE HERE!
It's finally here, the episode you've all been waiting for as Three Way Theater goes to the movies when we review Fighting With My Family starring Florence Pugh as Paige and The Rock as The Rock!
Our first time getting to go to the movies together, the boys have a broad discussion about Paige's road to the WWE, the trailers, movie theater etiquette, The Wrestlers: Fighting With My Family documentary that inspired the film, THAT sex tape joke, and the creative license being used in the movie.
Born into a tight-knit wrestling family, Paige and her brother Zak are ecstatic when they get the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to try out for the WWE. But when only Paige earns a spot in the competitive training program, she must leave her loved ones behind and face this new cutthroat world alone. Paige's journey pushes her to dig deep and ultimately prove to the world that what makes her different is the very thing that can make her a star.
Fighting With My Family is currently in theaters everywhere!

IT'S... IT'S.... DOOOOOOMSDAY!!!!!
Join Mike, Lumberjake, and JC for our trip down memory lane to the year 1996, just weeks before the wrestling landscape changed forever when Scott Hall showed up on WCW Monday Nitro to kick off the nWo storyline when we review WCW Uncensored 1996 featuring the DOOMSDAY CAGE MATCH, an event of epic proportions.
The boys are joined by Todd Harris, no sorry, Brett Ryan Gosselin (Ruth Bader Ginsburg?) for this very special event, and we have a lot of fun riffing on the awesome opening video promo and the promos of The Road Warriors. JC also tries to valiantly chronicle the history of Ed Leslie while the boys debate the nostalgia of World Championship Wrestling.

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.

New Year, New Us!
It's 2019 and we're starting things off HUGE on Three Way Theater with one of our most requested films of all-time when the boys finally review Carl Reiner's The One & Only starring the Fonz himself Henry Winkler.
1951: Andy Schmidt is in his last year of college. Taking life easy and always a saucy joke on his lips, he manages to win fellow student Mary's heart, although she's already otherwise engaged. But getting a job after college turns out much harder than he expected. Most directors take offense at his free interpretation of his roles. Desperate, he tries in wrestling. To avoid getting beaten up he stages the fights - and incidentally invents show-wrestling.
While Mikey and Jake immediately fell in love with Andy Schmidt JC had some issues with the character even coming up with a very specific conspiracy theory regarding Schmidt. Plus Mikey talks bamboozling his girlfriend into watching the movie, Dustin Hoffman's connection to the movie, the feature film debut of "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, and so much more all on Episode #37 of TWT!
The One & Only is available to rent and purchase on Amazon Prime, and is also available on YouTube if you know how to search.

It's that time of year again as Mike, Lumberjake, and JC gather together to celebrate their insane decision to review pro wrestling, movies, and pro wrestling movies.

All these questions will be answered plus more as we see who walks away with the illustrious Peacock Award on this very special night.
A big thanks to all our listeners who voted in this years Peackies, and thank you for listening to our very specific brand of weird throughout the year. Have a Happy New Year and we'll be back in 2018 with our first movie of the year The One & Only!

We're winding down on Three Way Theater as we close out the year and prepare for the 2018 Peacock Awards (COMING SOON!), but we didn't want to leave you with nothing while you fight the shopping lines and feel that holiday dread cheer, so we're bringing you a BONUSODE!

It's the third Halloween Spooktacular at Three Way Theater as Mike, Lumberjake, and JC finally review the much hyped Oh! My Zombie Mermaid after surviving the exploding cake from the last episode of Best in Show.
But what the hell is O!MZM about?
Kouta (Shinya Hashimoto), the leader of a pro-wrestling organization called "Zero", is planning an over-the-top housewarming at his new mansion. The not-so-lucky attendees include his sister Nami (Sonim), TV producer Yamaji (Shiro Sano), and jealous party-crashing rival Ichijoh (Nicolas Pettas). Of course Ichijoh's appearance ignites an epic battle which all but destroys the entire place. Kouta's wife, Asami (Urara Awata) . . . contracts a mysterious disease. Meanwhile, the ratings-obsessed Yamaji concocts a plan to broadcast the most epic wrestling battle ever conceived.
The boys discuss the insanity of this 2004 gem, the epic camerawork sprinkled throughout, Mike Paiva's problematic comments, and mouth cupping. So much mouth cupping. It should be noted the guys may also be getting stalked by a malevolent psychopath who tried to kill them with bad movies and exploding birthday cakes. TBD on that one.
Oh! My Zombie Mermaid is still available on Amazon, although the price seems to have skyrocketed since we mentioned we were reviewing this film for TWT. But whatever you pay, it's worth the price.
