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 2019-02-1357 minThe Throwback ShowThe Throwback ShowEpisode 70: 2003 - School of RockAaron 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.com2019-01-0749 minThe Throwback ShowThe Throwback ShowEpisode 69: 1990 - My Blue HeavenWe'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).
