Listen "Beethoven"
Episode Synopsis
Why Beethoven (1992) Is the Craziest Family Movie You Forgot About! Ever wonder why a slobbering St. Bernard became a ‘90s icon? Join Retromade: Your Pop Culture Rewind as we dive into Beethoven (1992), the chaotic family comedy written by John Hughes! From its bizarre dognapping plot to its nostalgic charm, we’re unpacking why this messy movie won over kids and families. We’re rewinding to 1992 to explore Beethoven, a family flick with a surprisingly dark plot involving dognapping and animal testing (yep, it’s wild!). With guest Kyle, we break down the film’s formulaic ‘90s charm, its stellar cast, and why it grossed over $147 million despite its flaws. Plus, we play a fun 1992 trivia game covering movies, TV, and pop culture fads!
